    Diet vs. Exercise - the results are back

    I don't think Tom disagrees with the what the article reported. He seems to be concerned about how people may interpret the results. Even the researchers said they thought exercise was valuable. I think what *everyone* is agreeing on is that there is no "magic bullet" for fat loss. It boils...

    How many meals a day???

    I sort of eat what I want, when I want. No fat burners or other gimmicks. It's a simple matter of consuming fewer calories than you use in order to lose fat. There's no real secret to it. You may have to be diligent about counting calories to get an idea of how much your consuming and using.

    Question for all the elliptical users...

    I use the elliptical for cardio reasons only, so I like to get my heart rate up. It's not really a muscle building exercise. I haven't noticed any changes in my legs with the elliptical machine. But using a lot of resistance should raise your heart rate. If you want to burn off fat, you'll...

    Do you have a lot of body fat to lose? Fat is what contributes to the jiggliness. You can't spot reduce.

    question for all the runners

    I love running. I started a program on my own around June last year. It's great when you can feel your endurance improving. The best way to measure your progress is to enter races. That way you can accurately determine your pace to see if it's improving. I liked running for hours and ran my...

    Do Chinups, I dare YOU!!

    You guys should try pull ups. They're much tougher than chin ups and really work the back and shoulders. I try to do pull off a set or two every time I pass my doorway pull up bar.

    Very Good Article on Exercise Vs. Diet

    I like the way this article debunks a lot of myths: 1) There is no such thing as spot reducing or "toning" certain areas of the body. I think everyone pretty much knows that by now. If you want to "tone", you have to lose fat. The reason Cathe et al. are "defined" and "cut" isn't because...

    Flyweight ... a question.. ??
