While I appreciate the opinion, I just want to say that I've had a lot of success using heart rate monitors. My own heart rate correlates very well with my perceived level of exertion, which always...

I love my Omron heart rate monitor, but if I'm listening to music then there's no possible way for me to hear the watch beep at me to let me know that I'm falling outside my bounds. So this got me...

Intermittent fasting isn't such a bad thing. Certain diets are based around the idea. For example, check out the Warrior diet. There's actually some solid evidence that intermittent fasting is...

It's not misleading, it's just not the whole story. It's been shown that not all calories are equal (carbs are metabolized more efficiently than proteins, for example), but the results from the...

We all know that some people eat whatever they want and don't put on weight, even with minimal levels of activity. I don't think the opposite is true, though: There aren't people that are fat, eat...

To lose weight, the only thing that is guaranteed to work is to cut calories. There are many paths to this end, though. Some people have more success eliminating carbs and they claim that by doing...

I'm looking to buy a stationary bike so I can get in some decent cardio without leaving the house, but I don't want to make a big investment. The thing that looked most appealing to me was this...

They're easier to prevent than they are to remove. However, as you found out yourself, they tend to fade over time. You can reduce their appearance even more by building a bit of a tan.

I've been looking for some sort of fitness-related thing to get serious (perhaps even competitive) about, and right now cycling seems like it has the greatest potential for me. I'm fairly athletic,...

I realize that how well we distribute oxygen to our muscles is determined by our heart rate, our stroke volume, and our oxygen saturation. What I'm curious about, though, is do those latter two...

Diet to lose fat, and exercise to gain muscle. Get rid of the cardio and lift.

I don't like parties, and I don't feel it necessary to convince anyone that I do.

There's a myth to "starvation mode" I believe. Or at the very least, it's a vast oversimplification. The fact is that there's no hard line where you go from getting enough food to suddenly being in...

I'm not really sure what you mean by "proven." If you mean that beginners who do the routine usually make gains, then I agree. In that sense, it is "proven," but then what routine for beginners...

Honestly, I think even better than Rippetoe's is a one-lift-per-day routine. It works better if you have your own bench and weights since going to the gym 5 days a week can be a hassle. However,...

Because it's a milestone in fitness. I couldn't care less about my health and well-being (whatever that means), especially at my age. It's human nature to care more about our appearance than about...

The more muscle you currently have, the more difficult it is to keep your muscle or build more muscle while cutting. From your bodyspace, it appears you have quite a bit of experience with lifting,...

I've found it's kinda difficult to do a good ab strength workout. They tend to strain my body and give me a headache, and unweighted crunches or situps won't give you much (if any) strength gains...

They might not be especially useful terms for physiologists, but for us laymen they work pretty well. I mean, we all know dudes who simply don't gain no matter how hard they try, and we also know...

In our bellies we don't just store subcutaneous fat (the fat just below our skin), but we also store visceral fat, which is deeper. Everywhere else I believe we store fat only subcutaneously. This...
