Welcome to my world! Like you I'm in my thirties (okay so it's more late thirties these days) and I have osteoarthritis in my neck (C1 -> C7), and I know all too well the headaches that come with it!
What has worked for me is Yoga - I do a "full" (1hr+) practice perhaps two-three times a week but do gentle neck rolls and side neck stretches at least daily - ...

Fat Loss starts in the kitchen, because fat loss is a result of caloric deficit: you need to burn more calories than you eat. Any physical exercise, running included, helps you increasing the amount of calories burnt, but also makes you hungrier.
To reliably lose fat, you need to a) track the calories that you consume via food and drink, b) track the ...

Do chin ups and pull ups on a bar with a larger than normal diameter. This will make it slightly difficult to grip the bar while you try to lift your body weight.

I've always found that my forearms/wrists/hands grow significantly when I'm deadlifting frequently. I've also found that my forearms/wrists/hands burn when I do straight-bar bicep curls.
Try incorporating more deadlifts and straight-bar bicep curls into your workouts. If you've never deadlifted, it would be worthwhile to have an experienced friend/trainer ...

The physiological process to gain weight and muscle weight is relatively simple
Rule 1 : Eat more than what you spend in terms of energy.
Rule 2 : To gain muscle weight, you need to break down muscles so that your body rebuild it with a safety factor i.e. it builds more than what you had before. To break down muscle, you must damage your muscle fibers by ...

If your goal is to improve your strength or lose weight, then do not fast anytime near your workout time (before or after) as this is the most important time for nutrients.
The saying, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day," is not just a saying - it's a fact. The reason you need to break your fast before your workout is manyfold.
First, your ...

What you are doing is actually Time Restricted Eatting. This is often confused with Intermittent fasting. The distinction is important.
I've been doing Time Restricted Eatting for a few months. I finish eating around 7 pm, and I work out at about 10 am, after coffee. I eat my first meal of the day at noon. So, I'm working out on an empty stomach. ...

One of the best I've seen though, and one of my favorites, are the grip strength trainers from "Captains of Crush".

According to this forum here, the general opinion seems to be that as long as my pre-workout is under 50 kcals then my insulin levels should NOT spike and there fore would not break my fast.
I would think that waiting until 2:00pm to eat will still have benefit since up until 2pm, my body will still be in a fasted state. Could anyone help me confirm this?...

Bottoms-up kettlebell. It will definitely increase grip strength.
For example, one exercise I do is that I start in a squat and swing the kettlebell from the floor to the bottoms-up position as I stand. I also do an exercise where I hold the kettlebell bottoms-up and step up and down onto a platform. A more standard type of exercise is just to carry the ...

Some of the companies address this issue directly, like Orgain (my favorite, all-around). They say these contaminants are in natural levels. I read the Consumer Reports article, and it did NOT say specifically if the contaminant levels are any more than the pre-processed ingredients themselves. And if so, then why? Does extracting protein somehow concentrate ...
