  • #Quah question #3 - Can you increase strength but not muscle mass? Likewise, is it possible to gain muscle in one body part and lose muscle in others? A recent dexa showed I lost muscle in my trunk but gained elsewhere. Does not make sense to me. (1:08:07)

  • #Quah question #4 - Are you better off running a mile a day or 3-5 miles a couple times a week? (without having any race goals, only leisure) Which would be more beneficial for cardiovascular health and lower impact on joints? (1:11:01)
