Award-winning journalist, physicist, and bestselling author of Endure Alex Hutchinson reveals the little-known and often surprising truths that science has uncovered about exercise, ranging from cardio and weights to competition to weight loss.

There's plenty of conventional wisdom on health and fitness--but how much of it is scientifically sound? The truth is: less than you'd think.

In Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?, physicist and award-winning journalist Alex Hutchinson tackles dozens of commonly held beliefs and looks at just what research science has--and has not--proven to be true:

  • Should I exercise when I'm sick?
  • Do I get the same workout from the elliptical machine that I get from running?
  • What role does my brain play in fatigue?
  • Will running ruin my knees?
  • To lose weight, is it better to eat less or exercise more?
  • How should I adapt my workout routine as I get older?
  • Does it matter what I'm thinking about when I train?
  • Will drinking coffee help or hinder my performance?
  • Should I have sex the night before a competition?

This myth-busting book covers the full spectrum of exercise science and offers the latest in research from around the globe, as well as helpful diagrams and plenty of practical tips on using proven science to improve fitness, reach weight loss goals, and achieve better competition results.

My Bulldog’s Very Favorite
These are the best toys! My bulldogs love all the different shapes and sizes and I buy multiple per year. I feel comfortable with the safety of this material, even though they start wearing it down very quickly.

Great Product!!
My Husky Grandpup loves these! It quiets her down. When you ask where her mew toy is she runs to get it and show you. She loves it!!! I had been getting her one every Christmas from a local store. It lasts her for months. She loves the chewability. Great value!

Lasted longer than most!
My dog is a pretty heavy chewer. This toy lasts him a long time. We have purchased several. He likes chew it until there is nothing left. I like it because it doesn't make any noise but entertains my dog like a squeaky stuffed toy.
