Working out while traveling/overseas
Hey, everyone: I am going to Nigeria for six weeks for my job; I'll be in a rural village, not the capital or another urban area, so I won't have access to a gym.

Significant body fat change?
Hi, everyone: So my gym got a new body fat measurement machine -- I can't say I know exactly how it works, but basically they put a pad on your arm and it calculates from there.

Stitches and Nausea When Running -- Recent Development
Hi, everyone: I recently moved overseas from the US and have been having some running problems ever since. I've been running for general fitness and pleasure for about a year now, and while I've had the occasional stitch or cramp, it's mostly been glitch-free. But ever since the move, I've been having intense side stitches…
