20 Best Fitness Tips - Livestrong.com

This is a very interesting article: The 20 Best Fitness Tips of All Time Slideshow | LIVESTRONG.COM

On a side note, apparently there was some controversy about a picture the site had originally attached to the article. It turned out it was photoshopped. Livestrong replaced the altered photo with the original one (which I think looks fabulous--way better than the "fake" one).
Here is what Livestrong.com had to say: "The photoshopped version, which originally appeared on slide 1, is here:
fit bodies | Stock Photo | iStock
While the original photo appears here.
fit torso | Stock Photo | iStock

As of today, Monday, January 30, we have removed the photoshopped image from our site, replacing it with the original photo. The image was pulled from a stock library, we did not commission the shoot or encourage the retouching of the image in any way.

We thank Rocksteady Fitness for their intrepid work, and for bringing this to our attention. We encourage you to set realistic fitness goals, and wish to help however we can in your pursuit of them. Thank you."

Hunh, ethics and responsibility do still exist - good for them...

I do like this one:

Drink Chocolate Milk After Your Workout

A post-workout mix of carbs, fat, and protein will help your body build muscle, reduce soreness, and recover faster so you can work out again sooner. If you are rushed for time or normally skip eating after your workout, a tall glass of chocolate milk has the ideal mix of nutrients you're looking for.

I had to check out the before and after pics. It was interesting to me that they only modified the woman's picture. They took away her abs in order to reduce her waist size and enlarged her chest. It's crazy that the media feels they have to do this -- especially to a woman that was already really fit. I am glad they changed the picture back.
