I'm finally looking for a weight bar after a year of training using barbells only. Does anyone have any recommendations for favorites? I think a 5' bar is the right size (my workout space is a bit compact), although I've heard they make 4' bars too. It looks like the easiest and quickest for...

My husband and I have been doing your workouts since this spring. We just finished a 100-mile bike ride we do each year at this time. We've never felt so good finishing this ride. More amazing, we biked less training miles than we typically do before this year's ride. We finished together in...

Don't laugh. I've been busy doing my own thing for years and missed this whole clean eating approach. It doesn't mean washing your fruits and vegs when you get them home from the supermarket does it? Seriously, I understand generally that it means avoiding processed foods and if possible...
