Beer is for babies, I drink milk.

Perhaps something about the myths of fat loss? 1) Spot reduction 2) Sweating equals fat loss I'm currently having a discussion with a guy on a boxing forum. He's a moderator over there and gives people advice. Bad advice that is. Someone asked about an exersize for the "lower abs", he tells...

Perhaps you should try a real boat or a real bike instead of those machines? :)

I sure hope you're kidding.

The best weight gaining method is food and workouts :) Sounds simple because it actually is simple. If you're not gaining, you're not eating enough.

Jumping rope is what gave me shin splints so I don't think that's the right exersize.

1) Are you overweight? For running it does not matter if the weight is fat or muscle. 2) Do you have the correct shoes? (Shox for instance, like synpax said) 3) How's your running technique? Most of the shock can be absorbed just by correct placement of the foot. And even then, the best...

A beginning runner still has to develop the muscle needed to run effeciently. When I just started I always had sore muscles after a run. So I guess it depends. If your legs are already up to the task there's little point in taking protein, complex carbs are more needed in that case.

I box at a gym like that too. My trainer is and old man who used to coach Dutch olympic boxers. The gym itself is an old rundown place in a 1930 neighbourhood, no fancy equipment just bags, a ring and weights downstairs. The pricing is also from last century, I pay 18 EURO per month, which...

@Distortion: I have really sweaty feet too while running. I recently bought a few pair of X-Socks (check here) and while they're a bit expensive (12 euro) I no longer have problems with sweat and / or blisters.

Uhh right, whatever. I even included a smiley. Perhaps you're a bit oversensitive.

If you start and end in the same place it has to be 50/50% :)

Migraine is the best one. Just squeeze your eyes untill they're nearly shut, look really difficult and pretend to avoid loud noises and bright light. When someone asks you what's wrong just act confused and tell them it's that damn migraine again. Get a coworker to drive you home and then ...

I'm no expert, but this is what I think: Don't cut on protein. If your body breaks down muscle (for which you used protein to build), it needs protein.

My name is Remco, I'm 29 years old. I weigh 165 lbs at 5'8". Bodyfat is around 12% at the moment. I've been physically active for little over a year and made some gains in strength and endurance. Besides lifting weights I box two or three times a week and run a few times a week, up to 10km...
