Glycemic Load - The measure of the density and digestion speed of carbohydrates (the glycemic index of a food multiplied by the amount of carbohydrates per serving). The goal of low carb eating is to keep the glycemic load low. Carrots, for example, even though they have a high glycemic index, have a much lower glycemic load than pasta because they are less carbohydrate-dense.
Legumes - plant food that is grown in a pod; for example peas and beans
Binge Eating - an eating disorder characterized by eating much more food than most people would eat in a given amount of time, and feeling that what is being eaten and how much is being eaten is out of the control of the person doing the eating
Blood pressure - Just like water pressure in your home's pipes. The pressure of the blood on the walls of the arteries
External obliques - muscles running diagonally downward and inward from the lower ribs to the pelvis that allow you to bend forward and twist at the waist. These lie on top of the internal obliques. The kayaking stroke uses these muscles much more than the arms
Stretching, static - Lengthening of muscles and soft tissues by reaching to the point where you must stop and holding. Safest method. Hold for 10-30 seconds.
Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) - the lipoprotein particles that initially leave the liver, carrying cholesterol and lipid
Vitamins - organic, essential nutrients required in small amounts and sometimes harmful in excessive amounts.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-27 Summary: Motivator ... We all understand that the product is not necessary to jump. How many of us are so motivated that we just stand up and jump for the excercise? Wish I was. The dvd gave me a good work out. I checked the internet for more jump rope routines.
