There is never an absolute answer to everything, except of course that you have to do your squats.

Since the trainee is both inefficient and unadapted, only a few basic exercises should be used, and they should be repeated frequently to establish the basic motor pathways and basic strength.

There is no such thing as "firming and toning." There is only stronger and weaker.

There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy.

If a program of physical activity isn't designed to get you stronger or faster or better conditioned by producing a specific stress to which a specific desirable adaptation can occur, you don't get to call it training. It's just exercise.

The only legitimate use for a glove is to cover an injury... A desire to prevent callus formation (possibly so as to not snag one's pantyhose) does not constitute a legitimate use. And if you do insist on wearing gloves, make sure they match your purse.

I can teach idiots to squat in ten minutes.
