Fitness Working out in the morning vs. the evening? Apr 15 2009

I have done both also. I find that if I worked out in the morning it would fit my schedule better, but then I would be STARVING all day and on some days would need a recovery nap.

I think that although working out in the evenings can be daunting- as its at the back of your mind all day long- the soon (but not to soon)-after sleep lets your body recover and be full of energy the next morning.

:) And running along the Thames in teh evening and seeing all the London lights is worth the effort.

Good luck!

Fitness Muscle weighs 5 times more than fat??! Apr 06 2009

Ok I also thought that number seemed like a gross exageration.

But just to get things REALLY straight: say, hypothetically, a body part keeps the same measurements, but becomes harder and more muscly. The muscle having the same volume as the fat it "replaced", and being denser, that body part will be heavier, no?

I should really write to Cosmo about their misleading article...
