Articles

I don't usually post articles, but I read a couple of good ones over the last few days and wanted to pass them along.

First up is from Dr. Lonnie Lowery at t-nation in response to those ridiculous corn syrup commercials. The article is here.

Now I don't know if this is cool or not, but it seems that at some point in the future (like 2012) our whole modern society could come crashing down as the sun hits the world with a big plasma burst. This would melt active transformers and leave the world without electricity for between four and ten years. NASA has a probe orbiting the sun that's supposed to warn us when there's solar activity that would be dangerous in this way, but evidently it's not going to last much longer, and last time it warned us about something there wasn't enough time to do anything about it. So... yeah, the article is interesting, it's here, hopefully it will continue to be, sometimes NewScientist will only give you a paragraph preview of an article if you're not a subscriber.

And finally, back to fitness, this is for you treadmill junkies and others who have to get your 'cardio' in. Go lift weights instead. Article here.
