(Note: It occurred to me recently that I should write up a weekly summary of the random array of topics I’ve blogged about over the past week(s), for benefit of first-time and new readers. So, here it is.)
What did we chat about this week?
Abdominal bracing: Tightening your abs during exercise is a good thing. It improves your posture and stability and makes the gym police happy.
Training vs. Working Out: Train (for something), don’t work out (randomly).
Muscle Health: Gina Kolata’s NY Times article discusses why it’s good to strength train, with some (unwarranted) concessions to the cardio crowd. It’s still worthwhile reading, regardless.
Reps: Why do 5 reps, or 15 reps? I discuss a different way of thinking about reps - as a representation of work and a subdivision of time.
Enjoy the weekend.
