My home page is aol.com and always read the news and interesting storys they have featured for the day. Today I came across a story about a woman who was inspired by Oprah to lose 160lbs. I clicked on the story and it took me to a really cool website, the story was a typical Oprah story - I wasn't too interested in it - it just made me wonder why Oprah isn't inspiring herself to lose a couple of lbs - anyway the site is http://www.thatsfit.com/.
The website contains dieting tips and dieting reviews. It also has a list of workout from a-z with detailed instuctions and expected results. The exercises from the website that I would be most likely to try would be the 15 minute workouts because they would be the easiest to work into my busy schedule.
The part I found the most interesting in the website was the Finess Myths Demystified. The fact that I found most interesting was that current research shows that stretching before exercise actually increases your chance of getting injured and may decrease your workout performance. This I found strange because Tony Horton preaches in the p90x videos about stretching. This is another fact I found every interesting There's no such thing as spot reducing -- that is, you can't magically zap the fat from an area by exercising it. Wyche says that you could do 5,000 crunches a day and still not see any improvements until you burn the layer of fat over your ab muscles, which is done by trimming your diet and burning more calories.
This really is an extremely interesing website that if you have the time is worth exploring - I think if your into fitness you will really enjoy the website - it is a website you could spend hours on just reading and learning new things about fitness as well as learning new exercises and diets.
I won't spoil anymore details about the site - but if you travel I would recommend checking out their piece on travel fitness. Another one you have to read is Stop Doing These Exercises - Extremely beneficial!
