I've been doing this kind of exercise for a long time and didn't know it had a special name. Thanks for the good info.

Great article. Interesting that you talk about lactic acid building up in the muscles. My high school daughter was in advanced biology and she said "Do you know a "body" gets STIFF, because of the lactic acid that is in it at death?" She went on to talk about the Krebs Cycle and how her teacher told them about lactic acid. No wonder it makes us "sore" when we exercise.

Chef Meg's Zucchini Muffins

These muffins are very filling!

The whole wheat flour makes for a dense muffin, which I like. You only need to eat one! If you want a lighter muffin try using whole wheat pastry flour, which is more finely ground and available in the bulk bins at larger grocery stores.
