Sep 10	revised	Increased weight from lack of sleep? added 172 characters in body
Sep 10	comment	Increased weight from lack of sleep? @givanse - That would be the cortisol affect, which I addressed in my second paragraph. Although it does occur to me to add an edit, I had forgotten something.
Sep 10	comment	Looking for a thorough gymnastics book Dave's suggestion is good, although the book referenced is more of a bodybuilding for gymnasts approach. I don't know of any "teach yourself" type books, as gymnastics is dangerous enough that you need good instruction and a spotter to learn many of the techniques. It might help a bit if you outlined WHY you want to learn gymnastics. For example, if you wanted to do parkour, that's a different subset than learning straight out gymnastics, as would be learning various "tricks" in extreme martial arts.
Sep 10	comment	Do protein supplements have any side-effects? I would point out that the CR report is somewhat skewed, in that not all samples of the protein supplements tested produced anomalous results, and not all protein supplements were tested. It's somewhat alarmist, designed to get people to buy the magazine/article.

Sep 6	comment	Does daily crossfit excercise and a paleo diet reduce heart disease? agreed on both counts.
Sep 6	comment	Exercises for the bottom/seat/buttocks area What I mean, is that you should be working your whole body, not just focusing on the butt area. One, you can't "spot reduce", and two, if you focus on one area that will tend to get overdeveloped compared to the rest of the body. A routine that incorporates the entire body will ensure balanced development, and increased muscle mass will help increase your metabolic needs.
Sep 6	comment	Are there any side effect with SlenderTone system abs belt? Side effects can include skin irritation, bruising, burns and sleep disruption. Also do NOT use if pregnant. EMS units are good for rehab in surgeries such as tendon repairs where the muscle has to start being activated again, but in general you aren't going to get the benefit without the work. When it comes to fitness/exercise, there really aren't any short cuts.
Sep 6	comment	How is this quad exercise called? Because a bodyweight squat can be self limiting for range of motion, and the location of your center of gravity in relation to your knees/legs is different. In a squat, your body weight remains pretty much centered over your legs, in this kind of an exercise (sissy squat), your body weight is way behind your knees, which places a much different stress on them. And, if you lose your grip, then all your weight is going backwards.
