It seems to me that you're really, really over-thinking this. Getting in shape is about prioritizing goals. Your first goal is to lose fat, so just do that. The equation is simple: expend (burn) more calories than you eat, on a daily basis. Forget interval training, forget anaerobic workouts, forget...

Have you considered that your daughter doesn't want to be a gymnast or a cheerleader? It may be a strange or difficult thing to hear, but it's something you should ask yourself before you keep pushing her. You said you and your wife and athletes and "don't condone quitting." Why not? You have to qui...

I've been rethinking bodyweight the past few days. I injured my knees so I haven't been running (would otherwise be 4 days/wk running) and have concentrated on bodyweight exercise. Ironman, who is one of the more outspoken on the subject, has a real point. It is not the path to getting big. But ther...

thanks stuward. I've done something similar to the Step Up but have always been concerned about sheering force on my knees. This looks a bit better than what i did. I suppose also there's a discipline issue with continuing to work with the problem instead of just ignoring it and doing pushups. Time ...

Basically the whole apparatus that keeps you walking in a correct, upright manner. The real trouble for me is that I have patellafemoral syndrome-- an imbalance ...

generally agree with all of what's said. I have found that I'm more fit than when I just in the gym (though, to be honest, I was doing a proper workout in the gym). I also find that I push myself much harder with just bodyweight. The problem is the plateau. As one of the response's mentioned (Ironma...

Hello all, I've been doing body weight training for a while now. I haven't stepped in a gym for a year and have seen myself get much stronger, though maybe not as perfectly formed as could be. I run, do pushups (with many variations), pull ups, dips, one-legged squats, sand-sprinting, decline situps...

Hey, sounds like you're doing everything right. There are a few things to keep in mind: 1. You're at the most difficult point of weight loss-- the last part. It's similar to improving an exam score: very easy to go from 70% to 90%, but going from 95% to 98% is much more difficult. The rub: be patien...
