Top 20 Reasons to Exercise - Twenty reasons why your body is craving exercise and activity.
How to Dominate the Army's Physical Fitness Test - Whether you are a new recruit, or a veteran, passing the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) is arguably the most essential component to a stress-free and successful Army experience. Or maybe you are not even in the Army, and are just looking for a new way to push yourself by pitting your physical abilities against Army standards. In any case, here is what you need to know.
How to get the Best Bride Body - Rest assured that you are not alone in feeling that the “Wedding To-Do List” is overwhelming and a bit unnerving. Through it all, keep in mind that as the big day approaches, all of the carefully planned details quickly fade into the background. What you are left with is how you look and feel as you commit to the one you love.
Supercharge Your Metabolism - Would you like to wake up your inner fat furnace and rev up your body’s ability to burn more calories throughout the day? No matter what your age, there are certain lifestyle changes you can make to help improve your body composition (lose fat, gain lean muscle). |

Challenging Conventional Protocols - If consistency and working harder and longer were the answer, then why do we see the same people at the gym, on the same cardio machines, day after day, and month after month (yes, sometimes even year after year) – yet they still look the same? Obviously, more of the same must not be the answer.
Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness - Work Out Now, Pay Later? - Even though the benefits of regular exercise are well known, many of us don't do it. One reason may be that pain or discomfort sometimes goes along with fitness activities. But starting or continuing an exercise program may be easier if you understand what muscle soreness is and what to do about it.
The Step-up : A real squat alternative? - In the 1920s - particularly in the US - weight training began gaining favor with the public at large, and the Step-up began finding itself in various books and magazines. However, the back squat gradually started to dominate (largely due to the efforts of the German Henry 'Milo' Steinborn and Joseph Curtis Hise) and the Step-up was all but forgotten.
You don't know your own strength - People in life-threatening predicaments sometimes perform feats that seem impossible, exhibiting superhuman strength or surviving for days in the wilderness to save themselves or others. How do ordinary people perform such feats of strength and endurance? When and Whom to Stretch? - Gauging the Benefits and Drawbacks for Individual Patients - Since the early 1980s, stretching has been promoted as a method to prevent injury and improve athletic performance. Although research suggests that this may be true for regular stretching performed every day, an isolated act of stretching immediately before exercise likely has no effect on injury prevention and actually impairs performance in strength and power sports. This article highlights our current understanding of the effects of stretching both immediately before exercise and as a regular daily routine, and then illustrates how to apply these principles in a practice setting, using brief clinical vignettes. |
