		<description><![CDATA[The New Year is coming on fast, and each year around this time we all become both introspective and forward-looking. We reflect on the year gone by, usually with emphasis on our failures, and we resolve to do better. And nowhere is this mental process more prevalent than in the realm of our physical fitness &#8211; especially our desire to weigh less. Even though I have made many (and I do mean &#8220;many&#8221;) New Year&#8217;s Resolutions that I failed to keep, I am still a big fan of the process of taking time to consider both my successes and my failures, and to resolve to improve. Hope springs eternal. To me, there is something therapeutic in this process. I read a comment recently that hit home with me. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t remember where and can&#8217;t give the author due credit. The comment was that rather than making new resolutions each year, we should just try to keep the ones we have already made. Ouch! But very true. Often, my New Year&#8217;s Resolutions are repeats of prior resolutions. I shall not, however, be deterred. Resolutions I shall make, and my quest for fitness and health shall continue, however imperfect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always thought so, and my belief was, at least, partially correct. However this study is one of those I didn&#8217;t enjoy reading because it indicates that one of my long-held beliefs about exercise may be wrong. To keep my ego in tact, I want to point out that many, if not most, fitness and health experts have suffered under the same mistaken belief. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talking about. We&#8217;ve all been told that one of the benefits of working out is that it raises your body&#8217;s metabolism and that you keep burning calories at an increased rate for up to 24 hours following a workout. Would that it were true! Unfortunately, at least one new study indicates that we are going to have to put that belief in the &#8220;myths about exercise&#8221; category. In a report, published in the Journal Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, Edward Melanson, an exercise physiologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver and some colleagues discuss research to date on the issue of burning fat during and after exercise. The authors conducted a study of 65 exercisers of various ages using different levels of exercise, and non-exercise. Sadly, the [...]]]></description>
