Program to gain both muscle and endurance BMI is not the best measurement to track your progress. To determine body composition, consider tracking your body fat percentage. |

Should I stretch before doing pullups? This video has some good ideas for dynamic warm ups. As @Dave says, static stretches are not recommended before working out. |

How can Kinesio tape provide support for tendonitis Good answer. One day maybe they can figure out how/why it works. In the meantime, I'm one of those who swear by it :) |

Stretches and muscle work for Supination or Underpronation You are welcome. The side leg lift exercise that you are doing with the tubing is one of the ones in the video. Sounds like you are on the right track. And good luck on getting the right shoes. Once I find a pair that works I buy a second pair online. |

Proper way to stretch the pectoral muscles @GetFitChimp gave you good pec stretches. To add to that, if your pecs are pulling to the point of rounding your shoulders, your upper back and shoulder blade muscles are pulled into a lengthened and weakened state. This q/a includes some exercises for strengthening the opposing muscles in the optimal position. See section: "Back, Upper Back and Scapular muscles". |

Apart from size, what properties make for a good exercise ball? In addition to getting the correct size, consider an anti burst or gradual deflation feature. I don't know about it's comfort but it is a safety feature and especially helpful if you have cats. |

What are the endocrinological benefits of holistic rest in bodybuilding? @Kate, This article may be helpful to someone answering the question. It describes the anabolic hormones and growth factors involved during the repair stage (pg. 58) and cites the source: William Llewellyn's Anabolics 9th Edition. It does not answer the question regarding holistic rest, but it is the best I could do. It does say that the complexity of interactions goes well beyond the scope of the book and in fact are not fully understood by science. |

Building strength with Spondylosis (L5-S1 degeneration) Have you checked back with your therapist for a recent assessment and an update of your exercises to address any changes in your condition? As far as what you can expect, it depends on the individual as you have already noted. |
