By Mike Roussell Phd(c) This past weekend I got to catch up with a friend (Jack) whom I hadn’t seen in several months. Like most people Jack hadn’t really changed in appearance since the last time we saw each other (around the 1st of the year). Jack and I talked for a while about stuff [...]
It is no secret that the majority of people look to exercise to burn fat (and it is an excellence choice when combined with sensible eating habits). And ultimately, most people want to find the best fat loss workout. And undoubtedly, this leads to the debate about which is better… aerobic versus anaerobic exercise for [...]
