Why every day?
Where does the belief come from (for those who have it) that you have to workout every day? Someone is always stressing out that they missed a workout or have to take a scheduled rest day! Why is this a crisis?

Since we're talking about REI dividends in another thread, I thought I start this one: When did you first join REI? 1986 Some of you weren't born then, but I'm sure there are others who can beat this.

Ordering eggs in a restaurant!
If you order eggs with a runny yolk (ss up, over easy, over medium, poached, etc), have you ever been served one with a broken yolk in a restaurant? The last 3 of 4 times in a local restaurant, I've been served a broken yolk! I've even gone to stating "not broken" with my order but does no good. Why would the kitchen let…

Thick & creamy protein shake brands?
Any suggestions for a protein shake powder that's thick & creamy like a real shake? I use Pure Protein. I like the taste of French Vanilla but it's kind of watery even with banana & ice. I've tried the much-maligned Shakeology and love how thick & creamy it is, but $oooooo expen$ive. Thanks. (No need to bash brands.)

DL vs squat weight

"Light" stretching
What on earth is "light" stretching or "mild" stretching as in the exercise database? Is there "moderate" and "heavy" stretching also? Shouldn't we be "thorough" or "complete" when stretching, rather than "light"? Does "mild" stretching mean go through the motions but don't really stretch? Pet peeve!
