Wait, don’t answer.
Actually it was really meant to be more of a rhetorical question. Plus it was rhetorically aimed at some news and research dorks. So don’t answer.
So why did I even ask the question? Well you see this past week a study came out the said exercise does not boost metabolism. Yes, they claimed exercise DOES NOT boost metabolism.
So that is why I posed the question: “Do I look stupid?” Because despite the above photographic evidence to the contrary, I am not. (So stop laughing.)
Smart trainers have long known that there are differences when you train men versus women. Most studies have used men and assumed the results would transfer over to women. Not necessarily the case.

While men and women are *mostly* the same physiologically (certain exceptions immediately come to mind) turns out there are some important differences below the surface. I just read an interesting article in MSNBC about the current research and findings regarding gender differences in training effects.
