Elliptical Brands
I've declared my old ProForm elliptical dead. I killed it, which is kind of a good thing. I used the carp out of it for the last nine months and it died. I had it for about ten years and used it the first two years almost daily, but not for longer workouts. So I'm looking into a new one. My wife gave me the green light and…

Will I ever make it to the end ....

"Smoke Breaks" Can Be Good For You
Now that I have your attention, yes "smoke breaks" can really be good for you. It's just a matter of what you use the break for. A lot of jobs I know allow two 15 min.

What is the best and most effective. I hear that if you do cardio you will drop weight faster, but strength training builds the muscle to help support the weight loss.
