Have pretty much read the above book by Michael Yessis. It is useful to have everything in one place about movement during a selection of exercises, but I...

Pete, have you heard of Dr Nicholas Romanov? He's got a website (www.posetech.com) which purports to promulgate a method of running which is more effective and...
Hi John, I'll answer the easy bits first. I aim at keeping my weight training under the hour. There has been recent research that shows that exercising for 3...

I've just bought a wrist-worn heart rate monitor. Very nifty gadget; works as a watch/calendar, but has a function whereby you place a couple of fingers on the...

Um...let's not forget to troubleshoot here. Take your pulse on your neck, and see if it's even accurate.... If so tho, anything over 100bpm as a resting pulse...
I'm beginning to suspect the monitor is prone to bogus readings, Pete. After a reading of 135, I checked my pulse by conventional means at the side of my neck...
