Spot reduction is possible!
A wise man once said that fat is burned from the body in the same manner that water is drained from a pool. It might look like more water has been drained in the shallow end but really it's all being lost evenly. With that being said, I've noticed that a lot of people don't bother doing ab exercises since spot reduction is…

What do you have for breakfast?

Blackberry Fitness
Does anyone here own a Blackberry? I wish I knew some healthy and motivated people on BBM. It could help keep everyone in track while they're on the go too! My contacts are full of my lazy friends lol.

Is junk food better than no food?
I have found myself in this situation many times. Maybe it's my lack of preparation and organisation, but sometimes I may be out and about with no access to any sort of healthy meals (don't ask lol). Should I avoid indulging in junk or just wait it out until I have a chance to get home? Which one of these would cause more…

Not working out
I don't understand. I was never necessarily a fat lazy careless guy, but why does my body portray that image? I was in ALL the sports teams at my school, ALL. I would always play sports after school. I liked to keep active all the time. Gym was fun, running was fun, chores were fun, any sort of physical activity was fun. I…

I am thinking of following a Circuit Training Program for a while to see how it goes. I want to lose some fat and also strengthen my muscles, the fat being top priority at the…

If my muscles stop aching, does that mean I'm not building m
I tend to do at least 5+ exercises for each body part that I work. I've recently noticed that my recovery rate has increased, but for some workouts, such as my bicep workout, I barely feel any pain the next day. I'd suspect that my body may have adapted to a consistent workout routine but I mix it up as much as I can! I…

3500 Calories = 1lb of fat? Really?
Surely a bit of mathematics could lead you to the conclusion that in order to burn 1lb of fat it would require 3500 calories, but I don't understand how mankind has taken a big leap in logic to assume that all calories burnt while exercising are ALL fat? Correct me if I'm wrong, I just see people going out of there way…

How much glycogen can the liver store?
I've been researching this for the last few days and seem to be a little lost. Some say your liver can hold a maximum of 800 calories at one time, some say 250, some say 500. Does anyone have any info on this? And also, does the body use glycogen from the liver first or from the muscles first? Or simultaneously? If so,…
