I Don't Recommend This for Everyone...
Greetings all, I'm in the Northeast of the US and, right now, it's sub-freezing temperatures with some pretty biting windchill. Ever since I read that intelligent exposure to cold can actually increase calorie burning, I've been giving it a shot. When I go walking, usually 2-3 miles, I wear a simple shirt and hoodie, along…

*sigh* Thighs
So, I have a pear shaped body. Even when I was a skinny teenager my thighs touched at the tops. They've always been thick and muscular which I don't mind so much... I mean yeah, I'd rather have nice slender legs, but I never will, so what can you do? Thing is, I read an article (can't remember where) that fat on one's…

Walking
When I think about the exercises I enjoy most, I always come back to walking. It's natural, it gives me time to reflect on good things, not-so-good-things I want to change... all of that. So, why is it that I always feel the need to almost "kill" myself instead of remembering that the most important thing I can do [to lose…
