Wear polypropene liners that will wick away moisture and then thick wool-blend socks to cushion your feet and regulate temperature. Both are available at outdoors good stores, like MEC and REI. Take care of your feet, folks, and buy the socks made for this exact purpose, as well as a good pair of boots that fit right.…

Really great timing for me with this article. Sadly I’m many years away from my university days, but I’ve just started getting into exercising at home after a very long hiatus and this is really useful.

My wife and I both work so we have a housekeeping service come twice a month to do some of the deep cleaning for us. My wife, of course, will clean before the housekeeping service comes.

What did you do to the moon! like 80% of it is gone! WHY CAN I SEE THE STARS THROUGH IT!

Judging from my sweat output and the relatively poor condition I’m currently in, no.

You are a goddamn genius.

As long as you are peeling only the outer layer of bark you shouldn’t have a problem. I think you are concerned with “girdling” the tree.
