I've tried both the Omron and calipers, and I prefer the Omron. I measure myself first thing in the am, and get fairly consistent measurements. Moreover, they don't really differ from the...

People don't change unless they are highly motivated from within. You're not going to provide that motivation. Until she has it, I think you're wasting your time. But after all, it is your time to...

What you have sounds like an umbilical hernia. I'm no doctor, but I have one myself. I had a complete checkup a month ago, and my doc asked me if I was in any pain, or if it had gotten larger. No to...

Don't pay attention to articles that advocate that you always stay in your "training zone". This is pure BS.

Here's a good online calculater to figure out your max HR, as well as various "zones"...

Partially right. Yes, the body will repair the muscle after stress. In a deficit, unless you have very unusual genetics, it won't build new muscle mass. That's a totally different process, which...

The medical/insurance industry, in an effort to save money, has come up with an incredibly stupid way to "index" everyone, regardless of sex, body type, muscular structure, and fitness level. After...

When I started doing interval/HIIT sessions 5 months ago, I couldn't do more than 30 seconds at 90% of my max HR. But, as you keep at it, your fitness level gradually improves. Now I do sessions that...

The best form of cardio is variety. Steady state one day, intervals another, HIIT another.

Perhaps your metabolism works that way, but that's not how it works for most humans. Our bodies, when faced with a deficit, get the calories they need to function in genetically predetermined ways....

I would save your money and go with a Polar F6. You can get a basic Polar for half of an F6 (around $45), but it doesn't have a calorie counter, and it can't block out signals from other HR monitors...

It's not that you won't lose weight if you eat too few calories. The question is, where will the weight loss come from? Over the past few millions of years, our bodies have become genetically...

I burn around 1,000 calories an hour doing HIIT sessions, but I weigh 60 lbs. more than you. So I'd suspect your burn rate is around 850 calories an hour, assuming your average HR for your session is...

First, 2 weeks is nothing. My rule of thumb is that the ease with which you will lose weight is inversely proportional to the ease with which you put it on. In other words, if you got to 285 without...

My wife is 55, and has the beginnings of osteo-arthritis. She's starting a new weight training program, and I was hoping to have her do some squats. However, she can't even get to parallel before her...

In my new routine, I'm doing a superset of BB squats and DB Deads. I've had trouble finding a vid on DB Romanian squats -- did a search here and in google, but nothing.

If anyone knows where to...

On the functionality of deadlifts -- What kills you when you lift things outside of the gym is not their weight, but their awkwardness. If you put the weight of a big TV into a dumbbell, it probably...

Well, you're not that much older than I am, so I guess I can say something. :)

You've gained strength but not mass for a very simple reason -- almost all people do not gain mass and lose weight at...

Maybe you should ask her to write down everything she's eating and drinking for the next 5 days -- don't have her add up the calories; just have her note the approximate quantity. Then you can go...

Same thing happened to me, on my 5th rep of my first set. Usually, when I pause at the bottom, I mentally check my form. About 10 days ago, I let my mind wander, and started up with a rounded back. I...

I think I'm better off with the Polar F6 HR monitor ($89) and the PC version of FitDay ($20).
