I joined a gym to get fitter. I was sick of not being able to do the things I wanted to do. I'm a keen photographer, and while taking a landscape series in 2010 I was so out of breath and ****ed up I...

Glad of this thread. I started squatting last week and I hurt my neck bones too. Guess I'm holding the bar too high - I'll try rolling it down a little.

Good excuse for a massage from the other...

I quite like an apple with some peanut butter after a resistance workout. The peanut butter feels like such a treat.

After heavy cardio, I can't stomach eating for a little while. I just want to...

As someone new to this too, this is something that has seemed pretty complicated to me. The best I can figure it, if you're new to working out then you can burn fat and build muscle (or perhaps...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who catches herself holding her breath! I'm also asthmatic so it's a really odd thing to do.

Remember; it's not about becoming out of breath, it's how quickly you...

They're your tiger stripes.

Rawr!

Your body responds to stimuli from the environment and so your 'body clock' is actually pretty accurate.

That said, I guess the earlier you go, the longer your body gets to enjoy those mood...

It must be a nice thing to exercise together but I think if you approach this without delicacy then you could really damage his self esteem. Fat people know they are fat. It doesn't need pointing out...

First of all, I am an asthmatic woman of 28. I am desperate to be able to run.

I've been working on developing this ability through a sort of couch-to-5k program where I run at intervals with...
