Stretching is key to long term health.?

Edited to include my take on that 😉

I have a thyroid disorder.

Low thyroid is best treated with medication. There is no evidence that the special diet you can pay Josh Redd to put you

I don’t even know what a thyroid is tbh. I’m sure mine is fine.

Good one. Except with a big maybe if you train fasted but I think that needs to be studied further

my favorite myth. I don't want to lift "heavy" weights because I'll get bulky

Good one. Nobody ever accidentally woke up looking like a body builder

Distance running is good for you

monkeycowboy

2/14/20 9:26am

It is good for you. Just not the best way to spend your time if you want to get fit. For some people that is the only

So you are saying some 40 year old, 40 lb overweight dude is not going to

UNLVcougar

Yes because when he hurts himself by not building up into it he will quit working out. Far better forms of exercise out

Well sure..you can't decide next week you are going to go out and run a marathon

Also distance running physique is sort of disgusting. Why would i want to look emaciated?

monkeycowboy

I'm pretty sure they aren't doing it to care how you think they look.

Thomas DeLauer claims that the following two are myths:

I agree with these theories. I feel the best when I eat 2 meals a day
