Can muscle building reduce localized fat? Bellydancers
I recwntly took up bellydancing as a secondary cardio and am noticing all bellydancers have lean legs even if their upper bodies are fat (arms, face, neck, bellies). Is it possible all that shimmying prevented thigh fat from forming? Or is it just coincidence ?

I recently developed it. I've had to drop all of my weights way down, but it still gets irritated. Lat bar pulls irritate it (I can…

Color me red and call me a lobster!
Screenshot from Garmin Connect, from yesterday's open water swim. I sprained my hand pretty badly so I'm back floating and swimming snow angel style. My watch saw an average of 22k lux during the swim. You can see towards the end when a cloud blew over and told me it's time to move on with the day. I've had long swims when…

Does anyone have experience with under the desk treadmills?
Hello! I work 12-14 hour days at a desk job and I am basically glued to a phone and a computer. I can get up for about three minutes every hour to walk but that is just not enough steps.

I am beyond burnt out from weight lifting and most resistance training
I have experimented with many routines, and I often find the most success when I am in the gym less. But even now, where I just do a full body routine 3x a week, as soon as I pick up a weight... I just want to go home. Don't get me wrong, I still love doing my cardio and whatever, but resistance training now is just way…
