A commonly held belief about food is that you need to eat frequent meals to keep your metabolism going and to keep burning calories. I'm not exactly sure where this idea came from but it makes absolutely no sense to me.

- How To Get A 6-Pack Without Doing Crunches
Crunches are probably the single most misunderstood and abused exercise in the entire fitness industry. Somewhere along the way, people realized that if they squeeze their midsection together they will end up 'feeling it' in their 'abs' and some how they equate this to having a flat stomach or mid section.

- Workout With a Purpose
Anything you do in your life that provides a sense of gratitude and is really worth something is usually done with a sense of purpose behind it. Things of little or no value have no purpose behind them and are literally wasted time you can never get back. For example sitting on couch watching an hour of rerun's you've seen before probably has little or no purpose and most likely doesn't give you any sense of gratitude afterwards.

- The 2 Golden Rules of Healthy Eating
I think it would be safe to assume that most people understand the importance of exercise and eating some sort of healthy diet to maintain their overall health. I highly doubt anyone would argue that eating fast food, junk food, and sitting on the couch is actually the best way to stay healthy.

- 5 Ab Exercises that are Better Than Crunches
Crunches are an overused and under productive exercise. They present a considerable risk to the health of your lower back and spine and only work a limited range of your core muscles. They never have and never will burn fat off of our 'stomach' or midsection and if you do enough of them will simply cause you to grow bigger and stronger abs muscles without working your lower back and oblique muscles.

The buzz about working "core" muscles seems like it will never go away. First of all, most people don't even know what the word "core" means. As a matter of fact neither do I! The word 'core' does not come from any scientific anatomy text I have ever read. As far as I can tell it is a term created by the fitness industry to promote all kinds of ab training products.

Typically the theory goes that if you do your cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach you will be burning more fat. The idea is that after a meal you will most likely be burning some of the sugars from that meal instead of stored fat. From a scientific stand point this doesn't make any sense. Let's review exactly how we store and lose fat.
