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
Why don’t insurance companies cover or help cover gym memberships?
I would really like to join the fitness center in my area, mainly because they have a pool & I used to swim competitvely, and I would also like to get back into shape. (I work out at home, but this place offers small classes for kickboxing etc, & I would like something new) Also, my daughter takes swim lessons there & we would get a discount on them. Anyway, membership for almost all of the fitness/wellness centers is pretty high. We are on a tight budget in my household too. It got me to thinking about how if insurance companies would help cover the cost of these places, maybe more people would join, and in turn stay healthier, which in turn would help keep insurance costs down. Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Or do you know of insurance companies that do this? I have BlueCross, which is pretty good, but I have never heard of insurance companies helping with this. What do you think?

some do, the offer a reimbursement… you just have to ask and the company will send you a form that you have to fill out. I know my insurance company gives $300 back which helps.

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.
Can I count sex as exercise on my fitness journal?
Holy crap 2-3 hours; you better count that as exercise!
Ok, so I’m staying at this hotel in San Francisco. (The link is above) There is a fitness center there. Are kids allowed? Are you charged to get in? If so, how much?
BTW you can just guess if you want.
Most hotels do not charge a fee for fitness center use. Kids must be supervised.
If in doubt call or email the hotel and ask.

What is the best way to start a career in personal training?
Should I start with Online study courses like ACT, or attend a School such as CNI, or start working for a health club (Bally’s, 24 Hr Fitness, etc…) and learn by programs offered by them? Which certifications are the best recognized in the industry? I’m a middle age man looking to make a career change from an office cubicle into a fitness career.
Thanks for your input!
ACSM or WITS certs.
Programs are typically offered at local colleges, just check with the advisers.
