If you want to lose weight, then you’ll need to create a caloric deficit. In other words, you have to burn more calories than you consume. The size of this deficit will determine how quickly you lost weight.

Our eight year old asked me a funny question the other day:
“How do you build muscles in your nipples? I wanna make my boobs dance.”
Apparently he saw someone on TV flexing their pecs and making them bounce, and he wants try it out himself. I told him to go do some pushups, and off he went.
P.S. Catchy title, huh?
I have a quick little fitness anecdote to share… Earlier today when I went upstairs to exercise, I discovered our eight and nine year old working out together. They were doing sit ups, pushups, etc. And best of all, they weren’t fighting.
I mentioned about a week ago that I had starting tracking my weight online with PhysicsDiet. At that time, however, I didn’t have enough data to post a meaningful chart. Now I do, so here it is…
I just ran across an interesting document from the US Department of Health & Human Services. In it, they discuss physical activity guidelines for Americans. Guess what? As a country we’re fat and lazy, and we don’t get enough exercise.
Earlier today, while rowing my way toward the end of an 8km workout, I was struck by how much I prefer workouts of a specified distance vs. those that go for a specified time. This got me to wondering how others feel…
A few weeks ago, I alluded to the fact that I’d soon be writing more about my health and fitness goals for 2010. Well, that time has come, and I’ve decided that I’m just going to focus one one goal for this year…
Have you ever rationalized eating a bunch of crappy food because you can simply work a bit harder at the gym to burn it off? If so, then perhaps you should read on. While it’s true that an increase in exercise can offset an increase in caloric intake, it’s not as easy as it sounds.
I have a secret to share with you: I snore. While I don’t sound like a lumberjack sawing logs, I’m definitely not a silent-sleeper. Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed some correlations between my daily routine and the extent of my snoring, so I thought I’d share what I’ve learned with you.
One of my favorite forms of exercise is rowing. Thus, I was thrilled when I saw that Concept2 is sponsoring a Holiday Rowing Challenge. In short, they’ll make a charitable donation of $0.02 per 1000m (1km) rowed for everyone that rows over 100km between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.
