The Proof is in the Pudding.

The proof is in the pudding (around your waist.) On the left is author Rachel Cosgrove after training 13 hours/wk for an Ironman. On the right is the author after switching to less than 4 hours/wk of weight and interval training! Excessive steady-state "cardio" training makes you efficient at two things: 1. That activity. 2.

In a one … [Read more...] about The Proof is in the Pudding.
