that makes sense. walk X distance you would burn X calories. And while walking faster might burn slightly more cals but you're done faster so it might not amount to much more.

this is always what I've heard although I'm not 100% sure of the physiological reasons. I had always heard it was because bones had not fully matured and were prone to damage. Not necessarily breaking bones but it would somehow be bad for them.

Of course I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but everything you mentioned is exercise even though it was in the form of play and enjoyable. I guess that's my point when I said as long as the child chooses to do it themselves, what's the problem?

its definitely not too young, especially if its something the child wants to do all of their own volition. Weight training under the ate of 13 isn't supposed to be good though. I got to think most if pro athletes and pretty much all Olympic athletes started training in their sport before they were 10. I used to be on an…

If your expecting supplements to do something for you that eating properly will not, then you will be disappointed. I think that statement is accurate every time, without getting into the discussion of do they, or do they not 'work'

quite frankly this sounds like your not using a squat rack (didn't read the entire thread). If your using a squat rack, the weight is already at shoulder level, or slightly below I guess. You just step under the bar, position yourself properly, and then use your legs to lift off the rack. Your hands basically keep the bar…

vibration plate?

although i do think that this is the general 'tone' of the thread, if you read more careful i think its basically pointed out that the real misnomer is when you apply the term to exercise itself. doing higher reps, lower weight to 'tone' muscle is a myth saying one wants to 'tone up' or look more tone is really more a…

i guess my point was, sticky it or don't sticky it, its not going to stop the endless SPAM. i guess maybe i should have said 'nice try'?

I guess its going to have to take someone more knowledgeable then I to truly give you a scientific explanation. This is pretty much the extent of my knowledge: as you train with a muscle, you establish a better neurological pathway. Your brain gets better at recruiting existing muscle fibers. more muscle fibers actively…

If you don't think nutrition has anything to do with gene expression, then you feel asleep in high school biology

although there are some instances where you can actually build mass while in a deficit, like if you are brand new to weight training... I think what's mostly going on is the fact that you can condition a muscle (more endurance and even strength) without actually adding muscle mass. you see that you are lifting more but…

if its really been 33 years then why not? (although some would say why bother)

a lot of people will just roll a towel over the bar a bunch of times as a pad, but I'm sure you could buy your own if you wanted. I've been to some really *kitten* gyms, and they always had a Velcro pad you could slip over the bar. Is it just uncomfortable? or you actually feel like your muscle strength is giving out. IMO,…

The first paragraph is actually why the word 'toning' doesn't make me cringe, especially if someone is describing the results that they want, because you basically know what they are describing. It is a myth or misnomer to describe a particular exercise as 'toning'... but if someone's talking about a look they want to…

I've never done 21 day fix, but I'm assuming the workouts in p90x are considerably more difficult. plus you will need a decent set of dumbbells or use the cords for p90x. If it was me, I'd take a month - 3 months doing basic lifting and a bit of cardio before jumping into p90x. its not a race, you'll get there. put the…

check out Rogue.com. you wont like the prices but you will never out grow the equipment

did not see it on ESPN but followed it on SNAP chat. was very surprised to see that there was a huge turn out. IDK if they even really sell tickets, but almost all of the lower sections were filled. thought that was cool.

^^ that's damn good, mine is 110 cals a scoop with 21g of protein. 30 bucks for 88 scoops 30/1848 = 0.016 so I'm paying like 1.6 cents per gram

There's a wide range in price out there. In terms of nutritional value, I don't think there is as wide a range. They vary a lot in taste however. personally, I think the 'best' protein is really the cheapest stuff you can stomach. her is your formula to determine what your actually paying for protein: (Cost of…

I think he proved my point

THANK YOU! coincidentally that's where it stops being attractive for me. so to tie it back to the thread, my response to said hater would be 'well, I'm not doing drugs... so...' I think the truth is that the publics mind is so screwed up they actually think that a body like that is not only possible without drugs, but that…

that's pretty much me exactly ... and the other post about thinking about it too much before hand is also spot on

good point about the OP's post suggesting body issues. maybe she's not really articulating her problem well. and totally agree that the problem is more complex the saying 'screw everyone'. but at the end of the day, if she's anything like me (and I am not to the extent that I experience shortness of breath) she routinely…

think some are confusing body image issues with social anxiety. I'm not so much sure it really maters to someone with social anxiety what the others in the environment are thinking. In other words, someone with social anxiety could be perfectly convinced that everyone in the room thought they were hot stuff, and they would…

right, exercising logic should cure the disorder, why don't you have a clinical psychology practice??

happen to get much better workouts at home myself

First off, that would be freakin awesome if Shawn T did a mass building dvd series. I see where you are going with that. and perhaps they are doing exactly what you are saying... but I think to those just starting out, or on the fitness fringe (which may not be the target audience of insanity or p90x but probably is for…

Lets just derail this thread.... any chic that's spending hours in the gym and eating right, she's probably going to get a body that's appealing to me. any chic that's spending hours in the gym and eating right, and taking whatever the latest mass building drugs are, then she's going to go to far and perhaps develop other…

Is there an angle in the right half of this pic?
