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.

Hotel Grand Set of 2 pillows
Size: King
Excellent quality and comfort. The pillows are soft but with the perfect support, ideal for any sleeping position. They feel fresh thanks to the cotton cover and keep their shape very well. Without a doubt, a great purchase for a hotel-like break at home.

Highly recommend
Size: King
These pillows are super comfortable and feel just like hotel quality. They’re soft but still give great support for my neck and head. I’ve been sleeping much better since I got them. They stay fluffy and don’t go flat, and the material feels nice and cool. Definitely a great purchase

Time will tell
Size: King
I won’t actually use these for a few days when my mattress arrives. Unboxed this morning and they are not as plump and full as I expected but they’re laying out to expand. Overall first impression is they felt comfortable and I could adjust them with my hands. They seem well made and durable. Cant say anything yet about firmness or shape retention since I’ve not used them. They feel like they will be soft. So time will tell but so far I’m loving what I see.

HOTEL pillows King Quality is Great
Size: King
Just got these pillows today. I have never spent dollars on pillows; but I wanted Hotel Grand like the ones that I sleep on in the Hotels and these fit the bill. Large King is what I got and so far so good. Firm and Squishy like I like. I was impressed with the quality -- now lets just give them a few days rest. I am sure they will be GRAND.
