| Running form matters. A lot of people run improperly, and they usually develop some kind of pain somewhere. You could also have a weak joint somewhere that compromised the integrity of the whole system. (Sometimes people have weak ankles, so their knee compensates and gets an overuse injury, and bef... |

| Proper form is necessary for effective training. It prevents injuries, allows you to utilize proper biomechanics and leverage in order to produce work, and allows you to train properly. I understand that it is quite difficult and frustrating to multi-task. An example would be learning the deadlift: ... |

| I would really like to see what kind of shape you're in to be able to bang out 140 push ups in a clip cuz I'm pretty tight and even I can't do that many! It's really more about technique and Glycolytic fitness rather than "tightness", and I have had over 20 years of practice. Of course body composi... |

| ^ Good shoes are also a big factor in running. I personally prefer the New Balance Minimus. It helps develop a proper forefoot strike that takes away a lot of the joint stress. Here's another story. I Lost Weight: Tim Bauer Cut Out Fast Food And Sugar And Lost 225 Pounds Paleo strikes again. |

| 1. Strength Training. Muscles use up a lot of calories. I've seen great results with "Starting Strength". 2. Clean up the diet. More protein and fat, and less of the sweet stuff. I recommend "Atkin's" or "Paleo". Don't worry too much about the calories, since a lot of people estimate them wrong in t... |

It's my 21st next month and rather than a huge party am thinking about asking my folks to pull a few strings and get me into boxing with some of the local greats. But even though I'm actually going through the proc... |

I also unofficially exercise by taking long walks in the park with my puppy. ^_^ Don't get me wrong, I like Yoga, but it's hardly a workout. Neither is walking your puppy, unless you're wearing a heart rate monitor and constantly... |

Maybe it's for a competition in a certain weight division, maybe a job depended on it, maybe it's for a bet and money was at stake... |
