Too Much Information - How do you Choose?
As a person who is "middle aged" I am certainly having trouble figuring this whole body improvement thing out. As you all know there is a huge volumn of information out there to choose from. Used to be you read a book or magazine article or three - maybe went to the library if you were really serious about researching something and got down to business making it happen.
…………..now……….Ask Google or Jeeves or MaMa and POW you have a world of information at your feet! For me anyway, this is sometimes (hell- always) way to much information. To make matters worse, in a lot of subjects you will find severely conflicting views presented as fact.
So in matters of importance like diet and exercise, I have tried to make what I hope will be healthy choices for me. The hardest part of this is that it takes time to find out if the choices you have made are the RIGHT ONES. This is a heck of a thing, because like most folks I want to know NOW before I put my time and effort into what may possibly be a program that won’t work for me.
This brings me to one of the things I like best about sites like BB.com. Within this community that we belong to there is a wide cross section of knowledge. Ask a question and you will most assuredly get an answer, probably 2 or 7 even, in fact they might even all agree with each other!
True, no one will make your decisions or do your workout for you, but the fact that you are all there together, sharing in the sometimes frustrating, sometimes joyous, sometimes boring condition of being human and trying to improve - well - it helps me. So I just thought I would say Thanks.

Yeah, you’ve got the right attitude though. You’ve just got to find the right combination for you through trial and error. Sounds like you are doing that. For me, it took a long time, but finally decided on eating clean. I’ve done it and it has worked wonders for me. Good luck with finding your right combination.

The book "The Body You Want in the Time You Have" by Myatt Murphy is one of the best books I’ve found for putting together routines. You should be able to find it at Barnes and Noble or other book stores.
