Weights, Improve Your Memory, Study Shows:
- Here's another
reason why it's a good idea to hit the gym: it can improve memory.
A new Georgia Institute of Technology study shows that an intense
workout of as little as 20 minutes can enhance episodic memory,
also known as long-term memory for previous events, by about 10
percent in healthy young adults.
- "Our study indicates that people
don't have to dedicate large amounts of time to give their brain a
boost," said Lisa Weinberg, the Georgia Tech graduate student who
led the project.
- "The findings are encouraging
because they are consistent with rodent literature that pinpoints
exactly the parts of the brain that play a role in stress-induced
memory benefits caused by exercise."

Regimen Helps Older Men Live Longer:
- Researchers and
experts have said that exercise and increased physical activity is
good for the body at any age, but new data suggests in particular
that regardless of a man's age, cardiovascular fitness can add more
years of life.
- ‘Higher in fitness
means lower in mortality rates'
- Researchers found that when compared
to the subjects with the least ability to exercise - those who
belonged to the low-fit group - the subjects in the next-highest
category of low-fit had an 18 percent lower risk of dying. Men who
were considered moderately fit had a 36 percent lower risk of
passing away; men in the high-fit category had a 48 percent lower
risk of death.
- In other words,
Reuters reported, for every 100 people placed in the very low-fit
category who would die, the high-fit group saw only 52 subjects
die.

- Planet
Fitness Kicks Pregnant Woman Out Of The Gym For Her 'Belly Hanging
Out”
- A young pregnant
woman was working out on a treadmill at a Planet Fitness gym in
Charlotte, N.C., when one of the staff approached her and explained
that she couldn't bare her bulging midriff. She had to change tops
or leave. So she was given a choice.
- Melissa was wearing
a string tank top, which Planet Fitness doesn't allow under their
dress codes. Melisa complained that that's what she had worn each
time she came to the gym, so that didn't make sense to her, a
reasonable complaint but not a major newsworthy issue.
- Here's Planet
Fitness' official entry into the much-ado-about-nothing incident
from PR Director McCall Gosselin: "This particular location also
had a stated policy that prohibited bare midriffs. In this
instance, a staff member approached the member to inform her of the
policy and offer her a free t-shirt to complete her workout. She
was not asked to leave the gym as a result of her
attire.

Stereotypes
- What do we see in
the gyms?
- Where do we think we
fall into?
- What do we hate the
most.
- Our thoughts on the
subject overall.

Question: What is the purpose of
crossfit? Is it the same as high intensity training or will it help
to actually build muscle and lose fat at the same time? After
looking at most of the regimens that they have in their crossfit
programs, it seems to lean more towards endurance training and fat
lose.

Question: What are your thoughts on
Arnold Schwarzenegger's blueprints? A lot of people has been
talking about how great the workout program is and are making gains
and results from it but will it apply for someone that's an
endomorph?
- From: Falconmage To:
All
If I were to incorporate a workout
program that involves RPM and weight training in one day, will I
actually lose muscle from all of this? There are plenty that says
cardio burns muscle and a trainer once advised that we shouldn't do
high intensity cardio right after lifting. If that is so, what
about cardio first and then weight lifting? Is there a
difference?

Question: How do you keep
track of your progress/workouts? Do you use a notepad and
paper or do you use an app on your phone or do you just keep
everything in your head?
- From: Tibor Tiger
To: All
Question: Have you ever used DMSO
(Dimethyl
sulfoxide) to
relieve muscle aches and pain? There's lots of info online
about it but no clear answer about how well it works.
