“Should I work out before or after a meal?”

A relative of mine just asked me that, and I decided to take a spin in the Google-Mobile to see what I could find. It seems that there is no hard and fast answer, so here’s my opinion:
DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!
If you have more than 20-30-50-1oo pounds to lose, don’t worry if you’ll burn [...]

Workout while sitting at your desk or couch

I found this series at CNN, and while they say it’s “exercise for couch potatoes“, I think they’re relevant to just about everyone and could even be an integral part of your exercise routine if you’re mobility challenged.

Memory Tricks for the Middle-Aged

“What is a good exercise for Autumn?”

Recently, I was asked that question and my answer is, “A good exercise is anything that provides you with a challenge, that you enjoy doing, and that you want to do again.” I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, don’t try to plan your exercise schedule based on someone else’s likes [...]
