If you’re a glass-half-empty kind of person, there’s a degree of futility when it comes to buying something perishable like fresh flowers. They’re on their way out the door before you even get them home. But even knowing that, it’s just so nice having fresh blooms around the house. It’s that last touch that just finishes the room — the flourish that sets the tone for the dining table, or makes the living room more inviting.

Still, it’s something we want to get our money’s worth out of, so it pays to choose wisely. I’d always sort of picked randomly, whatever colors I liked, and I was pretty sure I was doing it wrong. Luckily, Carol Wilder, a horticulture technician for Kentucky’s Cooperative Extension System (and who has worked in a florist shop herself), and had some wisdom to bequeath about long-lasting flowers.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
