We should arrive in this world with a note tacked on our cute little human hiney: Warning: Too much sitting may be hazardous to your health Except it’s more than ‘may be hazardous’.

Between you and me, not a week goes by that one of these questions about exercise, breakfast, ‘fat-burning’, ‘metabolism‘, and ‘burning muscle for fuel’ doesn’t come across my desk: Should you work out before breakfast to burn more fat? Should you eat something first to “boost” your metabolism? If you don’t eat anything before you …

It’s time to shatter another fitness myth. A few days ago, I signed up for a 10-day free “fitness and fat loss” ecourse. It musta been my evil twin. OK, I admit it, I so suspected that it would be a rehash of the same old fat-loss myths that have been perpetuated like a bad …

[fb-like] o you want the bad news or the good news first? The bad news is that we do have genetic tendencies for weight gain. Some women gain weight more easily than others. But I didn’t have to tell you that. It’s in your genes, right? You just got the dreaded fat gene, you gain …

Not to rain on anyone’s muscle parade, but this myth has been perpetuated one too many times. This is the problem with the proliferation of fitness information on the web.
