sheesh, I banged that out too quick ... muscles REQUIRE enzymes to work; my point being that having more enzymes around will mean more energy. And you get that through exercise (I recommend lifting). ATP (the energy that muscles need) come from enzymes, which are living protiens that are...

Well the problem with lack of energy is that you AREN'T exercising. Your body is very adaptive and if it doesn't require energy, you aren't going to feel energized at all. Muscles are enzymes; living breathing cells full of life and requireing energy (calories) to maintain, while fat cells...

also, probably a good idea to do proper stretching. Its best to stretch when your muscles are warm, esp. after a workout.

A "burn" is simply your muscle engorged in blood. You can get a burn from lifting just about anything in repetition, even from 20 lb weights. But having a burn will not do anything for you strength wise or muscle development wise. But it does feel pretty good. Yeah, pushups and what you...

It's been mentioned many times, but it's the truth. Stretch to wring the lactic acid out like water from a towel. It's the lactic acid that gives you the pain.

Eat quality food. Even Bruce Lee would eat McDonald's from time to time, but in my opinion eating there 2-4 times per week is excessive. McDonald's food is produced as fast as possible, which isn't necessarily the best for you. Its full of Trans Fatty Acids, the excessive calories which...

While I don't think it's great to exercise before bed since it takes some time for the body to wind down, it's better than no exercise at all. If it's the only time you can fit into your schedule, then do it.

I agree with the above post. I haven't taken asprin since I was a kid and it was what my parents told me to do for a headache. All you are doing is masking the pain ... basically your body is telling you something is wrong and you are putting a gag order on it. For me it's usually not...

This is the ultimate truth.

It won't hurt to have some insurance. Also, it's recommended that you don't buy the "synthetic" vitamins like Centrum complete.

There are a number of books by John Little that followed Bruce's routines, diet, equipment, etc. In fact, for "Enter the Dragon" was when people noticed that Lee really exploded and was more ripped than ever. Lee got some equipment which was new at the time but was basically a cross-trainer...

good choice my man

It's better to cook eggs because the heat breaks down the long chains of protein and they refold into more complicated chains, which is what happens with curds (cottage cheese) and yogurt (although this is done with bacteria). More complicated chains means better protein.

I'm not vegetarian, vegan, veganese or whatever they like to call themselves, but I do know that supplements should not make up for a poor diet. If she wants to continue with her lifestyle choice, she needs to do some proper research and figure out which combination of foods will fill the...

You fooled me, then. :D Anyway, I agree with the posts here, taking a week off isn't going to turn you into the "sloth" victim from Se7en. In fact, you did a good thing.

I happened to catch "Hollywood Squares" on the Game Show Network, and Peter Marshall asked "Scientists say its the worse thing you can put in your diet", something along those lines. The answer was table sugar. Not that I get all my scientific research from game shows, but hell, they even...

The entire article is fairly informative, but this section might be useful. You should also incorporate vegetables into your diet. Why? There is a calcium sulfite contained in vegetables that make them crisp. The body, in order to absorb it, actually reduces some of your stomach acid. The...

I suggest getting loose green tea if possible, and not the sawdust they put in bags. It is more robust and therefore has more of green tea's benefits, and not too much extra trouble if you get a strainer. In general, anything that is available I have found to be good, usually at an oriental...

Until they pay me to star in a big budget action flick, I get whatever is on sale ... but if I have a choice for taste, I get Bumble Bee, Solid White Albacore. It has 15g of protein per 56g serving. It's never been a real concern because the body can only absorb about 40g of protein at one...

Most gyms nowadays will do this for you, for free.
