		<title>Personal Trainers Exposed &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Personal trainers pride themselves on being students of fitness, promising results using the latest and greatest secrets from nutrition and exercise science.  Most personal trainers, however, exhibit substandard knowledge of strength and conditioning training, prescribe ineffective or unsafe training protocols, and justify their methods with pseudoscience or &#8220;experience.&#8221;  As a trainer, I shudder at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Fat Loss Myth &#8211; Meal Frequency</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Eat 6 times a day to boost your metabolism.&#8221;
&#8220;Eat a big breakfast or you&#8217;ll get fat.&#8221;
&#8220;Only eat protein and carbs before and after working out.&#8221;
&#8220;Don&#8217;t eat a big meal late in the day.&#8221;
Everyone&#8217;s heard these platitudes but they&#8217;re part of a broader class of advice built around the idea that the timing (and composition) of [...]]]></description>

		<title>How a pen and paper could improve your fitness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ask almost anyone who works out regularly what they do in the gym and you&#8217;ll usually hear, &#8220;Well, I usually do some chest exercises, some arm exercises and then I go for a run. On other days I do leg presses and some ab work and I go for a swim.&#8221; Just a simple description [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nonsense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fitness industry is one of the most nonsense-filled marketplaces in the world. Most training &#8217;secrets&#8217; can be summed up in a few sentences: Be active several times a week, strength train by moving heavy weights around, don&#8217;t eat too much, eat whole foods, and get plenty of sleep. Unfortunately, that doesn&#8217;t make anyone much [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is Olympic Lifting?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every four years, the Olympics come on television and between the 100m and archery you come across something like this:
This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

		<title>The &#8220;Carbs are Bad&#8221; Myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend I attended a Crossfit Level 1 Certification. I had a great time and learned some new teaching techniques, but I was disappointed with the lecture on nutrition. Crossfit has long been associated with Barry Sears and the Zone diet, which preaches a balanced carbohydrate to protein intake. In practice this leads to a restrictive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strength Training or Cardio for Fat Loss?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alan Aragon has a ton of great resources on his website and he&#8217;s a fantastic writer on fitness, nutrition, and training. In an issue of his Research Review from 2008 he brought attention to a study done in 1999 comparing strength and endurance training for obese dieters. You can read the abstract here. If you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Personal Training Myths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Do High Reps to Tone Your Muscles 
Usually aimed at women that want to get tighter midsections and more toned arms, these workout programs usually prescribe lots of reps (hundreds of crunches) with very low weights (20+ dumbell curls with 5lbs). The fact is, a muscle&#8217;s appearance (on both men and women) is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Self Myofascial Release (SMR)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What if I told you there was a way to improve your flexibility, reduce injury risk, pain and inflammation in joints and muscles, and improve strength and performance &#8211; all in only about 10 minutes a day? Usually at this point I&#8217;d have a 1-800 number on screen next to &#8220;$19.95 + shipping and handling.&#8221; [...]]]></description>
