But I’m still hearing rumors that it is bad for you (i.e weight gain, addiction, insomnia)
So which is it? Is it good or bad for your health? Does it cause weight gain/ make it harder to loose weight? I know all too well it’s addicting, but can it really be linked to insomnia with all the positive feedback from recent studies?
I know it’s all about moderation but how much is too much? How little does it take to have a positive effect towards your health?
Some links supporting your answers would be nice. Also, personal experiences are greatly appreciated.
Two types of diterpenes are present in coffee: kahweol and cafestol, both of which have been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. Metal filters, on the other hand, do not remove the oily components of coffee. On cancer development, coffee consumption has been shown to have minimal or no impact, positive or negative. Yes, it can also cause insomnia, many kids who drank it end up being late for school. I don’t know much about addiction. I think it also causes osteoporosis, but it’s a rare case, as you add milk, which strengthens bones, counteracting the bone corroding properties of coffee.

Can you test your fitness level by your heart rate?
Resting HR-72
HR after exercise-140
This sounds OK. What’s really important is your recovery rate. After 5 mins you should be half way back to normal, after 10 your breathing and pulse rates should be normal again. The faster you recover, the fitter you are

The best way to get a work visa in the US is in the information technology or health care fields. Basically, you need to be a doctor or a programmer.

I am looking for a martial arts school with the true martial values i.e., Wushidao/Bushido…?
I have recently left a martial arts school in the West Midlands. I am looking to join a school that upholds the true martial values, not a commercial organisation that markets fitness and self defence. Ideally a mixture of the physical and mental/philosophical. Are there any suggestions?
You sound like ripe pickings for a cult.The philosophical thing was never part of martial skills and practice .BUSHIDO was only codified in the early 1900’s and accepted as a “way”to promote the militarism of the JAPANESE war lords .
To know if you were being presented with a real philosophy and not just a hodge podge of collected and made up sayings by the unscrupulous you would have to spend years studying .
Doesn’t matter where or what you study philosophy will always be a personal thing your “way”.
Can I count sex as exercise on my fitness journal?
I have a fitness journal. I have to do some sort of exercise every afternoon after work. I either swim 5 km, ride my bike 40 kms on the bike lanes, jog 5km, walk 20 km. I have other kinds of exercises that are hard to measure how many calories I burn, but I still count them as exercise: like playing football with friends, rappelling, playing baseball, ice-skating, or rollerblading. I’ve never lifted weights, but I should try someday. Last week, I had sex 3 afternoons, and I didn’t do any exercise those days. The only thing that ever keeps me from doing exercise is when my boyfriend wants to have sex. It takes me from 2 to 3 hours, and I end up really tried, it leaves me wanting to go to sleep afterwards.

Holy crap 2-3 hours; you better count that as exercise!
I want to start mountain climbing and so I’m starting with the three peak challenge in the UK. What kind of exercises are the best to get in shape for mountain climbing? I know that climbing mountains will help me get in shape… but I have none close to me whatsoever. I’m assuming I’ll need some strong leg muscles?
Thank you so much! That is everything I need! I go to the gym 5 days a week anyway but only really do cardio and maybe about 20 minutes daily of weights on my legs - but didn’t really know what was best, so thank you very much - its been a great help!
I do mountaineering regularly, so I hit the gym 4 or 5 days a week and hike on the weekends.
You will need to do both strength training and cardio training.
I lift weights 4 days a week, alternating between upper and lower body. I do concentrate on my legs, back, and shoulders since these do the majority of the work when climbing.
I also do cardio 5 days a week - 30 to 60 minutes. I do a cycling class 3 days a week, hit the stair climber for 40 minutes one day, and do sprints on the treadmill for 30 minutes (2 minutes of sprinting, 3 of walking, alternating).
I usually do a high altitude hike on the weekends too, but you could probably just do a long, fast walk.
An EXCELLENT book on this subject is Training for Peak Performance by Clyde Soles (Mountaineer Books).
