I recently watched, in horror actually, as a “fitness trainer” had his female client perform what could only be called a circus act. She was standing atop a heavy metal stand (kind of like an open sided box, made of heavy metal) and laterally hopping to another such stand about 3 feet away. The “trainer” [...]
The problem many of us have in losing body fat is that we’re usually more efficient in wishing for a slimmer physique than actually attaining one.
Most of us actually try too hard, going to extremes that are either ineffective or detrimental to our progress. Here’s a piece of advice from one who has witnessed [...]
“Uncle Steve, I really want to drop about 15 pounds. What’s the best exercise in the world for doing this?”
