Question by Hunnney: What is a good fitness dvd for loosing weight?
I want to loose about 20 pounds in 1 month. I am very lazy and I would like to get a fitness dvd that is helpful but you don’t have to work as hard. Unlike the Jillian Michael’s dvd. Thankyou very much.

Answer by ★ThInkS fOr HeRseLf★
Jilian Michael’s Cardio Kick Box (it’s on youtube). This dvd comes in a set and it is really good too. But pretty much anything with Jilian Michaels in it, will help you lose weight.\

EDIT: Here’s a link to a little bit of the dvd. I think all of them are on you tube………http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbVwQigMazo

Just wanting to feel young again and run around like I was 20 is motivation for me… also hypertension/diabetes etc… run in my family and it is a way to reduce the risk of both if I do what I need to do now.

Question by purplepolkadotpeaches: What is a good name for a blog about health, fitness and diet, specifically raw food?
Two options that are available are rawisyummy.com and rawandhappy.com.
There are many that I much prefer but they are already taken. If not one of these, can you suggest another? I am a 20-something female so it could take that into account. I also enjoy running and will probably include info about that.
Thanks!

Q&A: What fitness exercises are beneficial for playing Squash?

Question by : What fitness exercises are beneficial for playing Squash?
Currently I’m playing squash at a center that also has a fitness area. What fitness exercises are beneficial or could you recommend for playing Squash ? I’d be interested to know also what intensity or repetitions would be good.

In short, what muscles to train in what way ?
Note that I have been playing squash for over 10 years. I’m merely trying to work on specific physical elements of it and I’m wondering through what fitness exercises and methods would help me.

Answer by severus
Apparently, it requires strength, endurance, flexibility, hand:eye coordination, developed fast twitch muscularity, arm strength, shoulder strength, proper form to avoid injury. As it is so complicated, I have selected some references for you included below. I would recommend that when you play, you are completely warmed up, wear goggles or eye protectors, and drink water. You can do the regular running, playing other sports, upper body weight training, and practice in your sport on a regular basis.

What is the difference between a fitness and bike and a road bike?

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 21:54:37 +0000

Question by Aaminah: What is the difference between a fitness and bike and a road bike?
I am a regular mountain biker, but like to road-ride, too. However, my full-suspension is way too much drama for the pavement and even my hardtail is too heavy for efficient road travel. I want something lighter and better suited. The problem is, I am not super fond of the “feel” of road bikes. I saw that Trek (my fave) had “fitness” bikes and “urban” bikes and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages to choosing a fitness or urban bike over a road bike?

THANKS!
Just to add, a fitness bike is not a stationary bike. It is an actual style of bicycle like urban, road, mountain, triathalon, etc. I was just hoping that someone had some info on what might be better suited for me. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Answer by walyank
What I call a fitness bike is stationary. A piece of gym equipment. Whether or not there is something else I do not know.

Question by sugar sweet: Can you write off health/fitness club under “health care” on income taxes?
My husband and I just started working out at a local fitness club/gym. Can we deduct the money and monthly payments we spend there under the health care category or any other category on our income taxes? We are using to club to be in better health and prevent diseases usually associated with over-weight people after-all.

Best answer:

Answer by Steve D
Only if it is doctor-ordered. And then, only if the dues/fees plus other medical expense rise to the 7.5% level. You will need a medical note with a diagnosis (and unless you are morbidly obese or using the gym for physical therapy don’t count on it).
