Cardio vs Resistance Training
What is the true difference between the two? I don't mean one is where you breath while walking/running/treadmill/elyptical/stairmaster/AMT/rowing/etc and the other is lifting weights with a band/machine/barbell/dumbbell/etc. I mean at what point does cardio turn into strength training? I've lifted heavy weights and have…

Men Clothing Brands
What do you all wear? I'm almost 30 and have been disconnected from the acceptable clothing styles. I always wore bigger clothes to hide it all but as I'm losing weight, I'm realizing I can fit some of the sizes I couldn't before. Currently XL on most styles but XXL on Aero. (grr) Women, chime in too. What do think is…

Theories of exercise
I've read that everyone should give their muscles a break for 48 hours after working out. It makes perfect sense, but what about those people who workout and have those physically demanding jobs as well? How does this relate to allow them to recover? So for example, say you have a construction worker who carries heavy…

Dips
Good ol' dips. I tried one last night. I couldn't do the free body weight, though I tried a few times. So I waited a bit, and moved over to the assist machine to try it. There was at least 1 min from the time I tried body weight to doing about 100 lbs on the dip assist machine. It was a fairly good workout and I could do 6…

Elbows and Dumbbells
I've been doing standing benchpress, lying down benchpress, standing bicep curl, and standing shoulder press with dumbbells. I'm not sure which one is the culprit but I have a slight bruise feeling in my elbows. Not sure if it's a joint pain or an undeveloped muscle. Wondering if anyone has had this issue and if one of…

Kids/Parents/School Bus Stops
So I am seeing a growing trend lately. When I was a kid, I was told to go stand at the bus stop in my hefty coat and extra clothing. I would time leaving my house just right so I wouldnt make the bus but sometimes I would miss the bus or they would be too late. Fine, whatever. I seen boys and girls tough out the cold. I've…

Quote about Bravery
Does anyone know the quote that says something a long the lines of: Bravery is a form of stupidity in which one defies their natural instincts to continue the act? It's something like that. Just wondering who said it. I saw the quote once but can not find it again.

I am going to meet a trainer on Saturday. I wanted to see if anyone out there had any tips or experiences with a trainer? Anyone have any thoughts on what makes a good trainer? Focus is on proper technique with free weights and of course continued weight loss.

Weight loss theory
Ive read should consume protein using .8 to 1 g per pound of weight. If you are extremely overweight, you should consume protein at your ideal weight not current. So, in theory, if someone consumed 1500 calories which is their ideal weight's requirement and stuck to it, then one would lose weight and continue that…

1200 cal diet
Myfitnesspal says I can eat a little over 2000 cal per day. I have submitted my requests early for my food logging and sometimes I get the message that I need at least 1200 cal a day. This was interesting to me. I read a thread from 2008 that mentions that you must eat 1200 cal a day otherwise your body goes into…
