Are you serious Bryan. lol. MSNBC, my God. You're talking about the news company that just had an article a couple months back about the serious, and potentionally fatal, diets containing too much protein. Bwahahaha.

Q: When I work out, I spend 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer and 15 minutes on the treadmill, and then lift on weight machines. But I cannot seem to reduce my stomach size. What should I be doing differently?

For starters, how about you don't freaking do cardio before weight lifting.

Q: I do two days of cardio (40 minutes on the elliptical trainer each time) with some weights, and two days of aerobic classes with a little weight training. But I'm not getting as toned as I'd like. Any ideas why?

Maybe it's because you have a box of snackwell cookies before bed.

Q: I walk two miles a day, five days a week, and strength-train about two to three times a week. Still, I cannot lose those extra pounds. Would taking a step class help me? I heard doing more cardio might help.

Cause we're all after the body that step aerobics produce.

Seriously Bryan. Look where all the media hype has gotten the general public in terms of health. Varying cardio is good, just to keep the body guessing a bit. I like switching between the eleptical and treadmill, but only cause I get bored. But the results come from the 65%-70% HR. Don't take the public too seriously. Just think about it. Ask Dr. Atkins or the subway guy.
