Came across an article and it made me wonder how fat burners impact a body's utilization of burning fat for fuel/energy or fat burners' impact, if any, on white v. brown fats? I have no...
Hola chicas. Been feeling really *bleh* for a really long while now and thought I'd try asking y'all how you get over it: how do you regain motivation or zest for life?
Not to hijack the thread, but I did want to clarify that I chose to say I changed my lifestyle because I've eaten very low carb (mostly veggies and meat) for most of my entire life except for a...
When rinsing/washing with just water, don't forget to massage your scalp with your fingertips (pads not nails) to loosen oil, deposits and debris so they can be rinsed away with the water. It's also...
Just like @megdaig and @peachiz76, mine was triggered by running. During the injury, I managed it with an IT band strap which helped me to continue working out, switching to minimalist running shoes,...
Just my 2 cents because I recently discovered after experimenting with myself over the past 2.5 months that my body is better at not bloating now that I've changed my diet (i.e., what I eat daily as...
Years ago I came a cross an article that discussed the rate of muscle loss when taking time off due to injury. The article was geared towards runners but I thought it might be relevant. Found a...
^ This. You can just rinse hair with water and then apply conditioner if you'd like or not. When rinsing with water even during post-gym shower, just thoroughly massage your scalp with your...
hmm... guess I'm not being coherent enough... I feel like we're talking about the same thing but disagreeing on just the FR... don't want to hijack this thread and turn it into a debate on the merits...
@golddigger1: I read somewhere that you can see if you have a pelvic imbalance by laying down prone on a flat surface, having someone place their hands on your hip bones and rocking the pelvic bone...
If you go to a drugstore/pharmacy or sporting goods store, they should have one of those icing bags that come with a velcro sleeve/sac. You can keep the bag and/or the sleeve in the freezer; the...
I agree it sounds like you have a stress fracture. If you can't have a doctor see it, you can try to find a medical clinic in your area. They're usually much cheaper and may be able to give you...
Even if you aren't in any pain right now, I would go see a doctor before it gets worse. If you really do have ITBS, once triggered, the pain can sideline you for months. You might actually have...
If you have water blisters, use a sterilized needle to prick a small hole in the blister and drain it by press the water out with a tissue. Do not remove the skin! Apply neosporin (the one that...
Imho and experience, running is a great and fast way to lean out. If you want to prevent muscle loss, just make sure your diet is in check and that you're eating enough protein, but don't skimp out...
Tip 1 I like leg drains after a leg workout (usually long runs for me lately as opposed to weights). Lie on the floor with your butt close to the wall and your feet/legs (legs relatively straight)...
Nike Frees are great! I started with the 5.0 about 2-3 years ago, transitioned down to the 3.0 and now alternate that with the Saucony Kilkenney (has an even lower profile than the 3.0). I logged...
First place I'd check is your shoes: what kind of shoes are you running in and how long have you been running in them? If you've logged about 200-400 miles in them, it might be time to toss them. ...
Tempo run = steady 20 minute run at "threshold" ("T") pace
T-pace = 83-88% of VO2max or 88-92% of maximum heart-rate (i.e., "The pace is a little faster than a pace that you could run for two or...
