Answer 1

i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Answer 2

If you're running a fitness website you should have at least some basic knowledge and qualifications yourself. From what I've read on here, there are very few people whose "expertise" ahem, you would want to pass on. Somebody will end up sueing you.

Try the websites for WHO, NASM, ACSM, YMCA fitness, NHS, gov.uk/health, PTonthenet, webMD and [e-mail] - for some basic starting points.

Be extremely careful whose advise you buy over nutrition and diet - properly qualified nutionalists have masters degrees in the subject - and there's a reason for that!!! I'm a qualified and experienced PT and I don't give nutrional advice for this reason (except for the very basics).

see the above comments re. orange juice and tennis, for example - I'm sure they mean well...

Good luck!

Answer 3

Maybe remind people to stretch AFTER they work out, so as to not damage or tear their muscles? This is a huge mistake so many people make and it's such valuable info.

Answer 4

Well I think you should add tennis in there. It is one of the only sports that works out ALL muscle groups in one session. Plus, it is so freakin' fun!

Answer 5

i'm working at a gym and this trainer tells me to eliminate all soda, juices and energy drinks becuase they are very high in sugar.
