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.

easy to put together, stable and blocks out unwanted eyes.
Size: 88''W-4 Panel, Color: Grey
If you live in a high rise building, or where there is lots of foot traffic and can see in your windows, this is a must have. It's portable, can fold down one or two walls and easy to move around. Put together once, and block out light and eyes while tall enough to see over. You can fold it up along the wall, and use it to block out the blinds or light when using a projector so that it's darker. You can use it to partician the room if you share one, and separate your pile of junk from your room so you don't look at it, can take quite a bit of towel weight and clothes and doesn't tip over. Sturdy bottom metal and easy to put together. I got the grey one, and glad I did. I use it everyday and is part of my room decor. I love it, and after using it for a few months it's quite durable. The quality is there for sure. A tad pricey, but worth it. Must have for a private person.

Well made dividers.
Size: 88''W-4 Panel, Color: Grey
Very durable and stable. Once positioned, they stay upright and firm and don't wobble around. Good materials on both the panels and the frame that supports it. Great for any partitioning needs and a fair price for the quality you receive. Highly recommended.

Great quality, very versatile
Size: 6 Panel-132‘’Wide, Color: Beige, Size: 6 Panel-132‘’Wide, Color: Beige
I'm very pleased with this item. It was not complicated to assemble but some items required dexterity and strength. The fabric panels are nice and tight and that's partly why it's a little hard to get that final screw in. I'm very pleased with the legs and the wheels. The metal components are nicely finished and feel substantial and endurable. I can easily fold this so many different ways… I can minimize the number of panels that are seen if desired and it can be straight or accordion. It's very stable which was hugely important to me because I'm fostering many many cats. It's not cheap looking and the light color fabric allows enough light to pass through that it doesn't darken the room substantially. I think the price was very reasonable
