(I'm a college…

Feel like Quitting?
Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have a sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you want, but don't you quit. Life is queer with it's twists and turns, As…

WEIGHT LOSS VS FAT LOSS
Weight loss is obviously how many pounds of body weight we lose, and it is the only thing a scale can tell us. It includes weight lost from fat reduction, muscle atrophy, decreased water and nutrient retention, and decreased contents of the digestive tract. This is not really what most of us want to focus on. Instead, we…

TELL ME IT'S OK NOT TO EXERCISE
I usually workout 6 days a week, Sunday is my rest day. But I hurt my back doing a 90 minute kickboxing video. I have even had to take muscle relaxers.
