For decades, the fitness world often treated fat loss and muscle gain as separate goals. Traditional advice suggested that cardio was for losing fat while strength training was for building muscle.

When done correctly, hybrid training can help you burn body fat while building or preserving muscle mass. The key lies…

Tribal governments largely panned the Agriculture Department’s plan to relocate thousands of employees around the country and shutter some regional offices, saying during recent consultations the reforms would degrade long-established relationships and result in staffing shortages that negatively affect services. Native populations will suffer the consequences if USDA’s efforts to relocate staff out of Washington and into five new “hubs” around the country leads to a brain drain at the department, the tribal officials said.
