Sleep is very significant in many aspects. It is definitely important for fitness training. When one is sleeping, most of the growth hormone is produced which include the benefit of stronger biceps, increased calcium retention and fat loss. In other words, not getting enough sleep can actually make you fat. As Hannah…

Comments: Giulia: I like how you talked about the body and gave examples of dehydrating substances. One thing I would doubt is that you said the body is 7% water, but isn't it way more? Taylor: I like how you provided lists, therefore it's organized and easy to understand. Great information!

Sorry, forgot my sources: https://authoritynutrition.com/how-much-water-should-you-drink-per-day/ http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/healthy-drinks/top-30-hydrating-foods http://www.noblebeverages.com/drinking-water-the-facts/benefits-of-hydration/ http://www.webmd.boots.com/diet/ss/slideshow-7-wonders-of-water

We have probably all been told that drinking enough water is essential for one's health. However, many people actually don't appreciate the importance of water. Water has many benefits. Of course, water helps you lose weight. But that's not all. Water boosts your energy, it lowers stress, nourishes the skin, prevents dry…

@17hbaghdadi : I liked how you had exact evidence of where you got the information from and liked how you wrote that it is better to exercise and eat balanced foods!

@18nrahmat : It was interesting to read about your parents and the fact that you expressed your perspective (that you recommend supplements to people who want to see improvement).

First of all, to understand supplements, one must know what they are. They are meant to improve your diet by providing vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, enzymes and other beneficial substances. They come in different forms (such as gels, tablets, capsules, ...). There are some advantages of supplements such as:…

I chose The Tapeworm Diet and The Amputation Diet. The Tapeworm Diet What is it? - the way that tapeworms aid in weight loss has been around for almost a century - the idea is that the food you eat is split between your own body and that of the tapeworm -> you are a host and the tapeworms use you by attaching suckers to…

A target heart rate is a range of heart rate that one reaches during an exercise which enables the heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. This range varies based on age; but also other factors play a role. Usually, your target heart rate is when your exercise heart rate is 60 to 80 percent of your…

Comments: Jillian- I really enjoyed reading about the fact that you will use fitness testing as a source of progress and development. I agree with you that it will be hard at first to get used to working out after a long time, but stay motivated! ThomasB- It was nice to read about the steps you will take to achieve your…

Comments: Hannah = I really enjoyed reading your post and it is fun to know that you find it interesting. To me, it can be quite boring, it depends on the person I guess. I would use interval training to measure progress and development - the more reps/sets I do, the better. Just by knowing that I can keep going for a long…

Interval training is when you alter periods of high intensity activity/exercise with rest periods (reps and sets). During the rest period your body stops moving or works at a very low intensity. In my opinion interval training is very valuable. Its advantages include: easy to measure progress and improvement, easy to see…

1) I'd like to do it for the long run and make it a part of my life. I want to live a long and healthy life. I want to stay active and not just sit on a couch and watch TV the entire day. I want to get out of my comfort zone and prove to myself that I can do this, that I can stay fit. I look at it this way: the more time I…
