Located across the Asia Jaya LRT station in Petaling Jaya, you can actually see the gym and the people inside if you pass by through the Federal Highway.

Just a quick something I wanted to share as I believe that many people still struggle with weightloss even after adding in lotsa cardio to their exercise routine. Of course, any carefully planned out weightloss plan that involves cardio + calorie reduction will result in weightloss, but there are ways that we can actually enhance this process and burn more bodyfat instead.

Hey DM.. can you help me? I’ve been going for brisk walks for about 6 months now. 2 weeks ago, I tried running instead, and I didnt warm up, but just started running. Felt pain in my knee but I thought it would go away once I stopped.. the next morning I could hardly walk. After a few hours, I could then walk again. Resting my leg is difficult because my job involves me to walk alot, so I can only do that on my off days from work. Its been a week since I’ve stopped my evening walks and tried to get as much rest as possible. I’ve still got slight pain on the side of my knee.. and I feel like I have to protect it and it feels unstable, expecially if i am making a sharp turn. Its kinda hard to describe, and feels real ‘tight’. I’m wondering if there’s any special exercise or stretches you could point out?
Yours sincerely,
Kneed-to-walk

WASHINGTON - Over half of U.S. adults use multivitamins, mostly the pretty healthy people who also eat nutrient-fortified foods. Yet there’s little evidence that most of the pills do any good — and concern that some people may even get a risky vitamin overload, advisers to the government said Wednesday.
Worried about bottles that promise 53 times the recommended daily consumption of certain nutrients, specialists convened by the National Institutes of Health called Wednesday for strengthened federal oversight of the $23 billion dietary supplement industry — especially efforts to pin down side effects.
For the average healthy American, there’s simply not enough evidence to tell if taking vitamins is a good or bad idea, said Dr. J. Michael McGinnis of the Institute of Medicine, who led the NIH panel’s review.

Here’s what Jay, from EGOnutritions.com has to say:
From my point of view, that article seems to be a bit skewed (government panel and all that) and somewhat biased against the industry as a whole ($23 billion dietary supplement industry… a price tag on the health of your citizens?). [click to continue...]
