Frequently Asked Questions

I don't want to look like a bodybuilder. Should I still lift weights?

PSU Fitness: FAQs
YES! For most people, adding muscle is very difficult. Hard work, eating right, and having the right genetics are all needed to get the bodybuilder look. It also takes years, and most often a lot of steroids, to put on the kind of mass that you see in magazines. If you find yourself getting more muscle than you'd like, then you can stop training and they will shrink, due to lack of work.

Why Lift Weights?

Diet and Fitness FAQ's Page One
we age, our lean body mass shrinks and our metabolic rate - the rate at which we burn calories - slows. We can eat exactly what we did ten years ago and weight the same, but have a higher body-fat percentage. More fat carries risks including diabetes, arthritis, back pain, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It can even raise your risk for certain cancers. Strength training lowers body fat by building lean muscle mass; 20 minutes, two to three times a week, is all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exercise and Fitness
Check with your doctor. Lifting weights will not only help you lose weight, but maintain the loss. Here's why: When you lose weight, up to 25% of the loss may come from muscle, resulting in a slower metabolism. Weightlifting will help preserve or rebuild any muscle you lose by dieting. Muscle helps you with aerobic exercise. The stronger you are, the better you will be at any aerobic activity.

WHY DON'T YOU LIST THE WEIGHTS OF YOUR GARMENTS?

Frequently Asked Questions
We have found that when people have a comparative list (of weights), they frequently make the wrong selection...ie., this one must be the best, because it's the heaviest...or...this is the one I want because it's the lightest. The same applies to... this is the thickest...or this is the thinnest. The "mil. spec." on raingear for example...while it may indicate the overall thickness , it does not indicate it's construction nor how it achieved that thickness. It's not unlike..

If I lift weights, will I end up looking like Arnold or some WWF mutant?

FAQ PAGE For John Howard - Personal Fitness Trainer
Not unless you have EXTREMELY RARE genetics or use ANABOLIC STEROIDS. Unfortunately, many professional bodybuilders, wrestlers and other ridiculously muscle-bound types have used or do use anabolic steroids to achieve that look and it still takes 7 to 15 years to get that built. Anabolic steroids are harmful to the body and I have NEVER used them and NEVER will. I will also refuse to train anyone who I know is using anabolic steroids.

Frequently Asked Questions - Physique Transformation FAQ
For the average man or woman, two to three effective weight training sessions a week are plenty to produce significant results over the course of a few months. For most people however the issue isn't how OFTEN they train but how EFFECTIVELY they train. You can randomly 'work out' for two hours a day six days a week and get less out of it then someone who 'trains' intensely, with purpose and a definite game plan, for 45 minutes three times a week.

The NTP FAQ and HOWTO
You are lucky: Actually the source of the FAQ uses no formatting rules at all, even the DSSSL code relies on HTML classes and style sheets to do the rendering. All properties like borders, colours, and font attributes are taken from a cascading style sheet (CSS). In practice, this means you don't have to change the HTML source to change the appearance. Instead simply provide your favourite user style sheet to do the formatting. If you prefer no fancy attributes at all, just empty the docbook.
