For the most part, here at LIFT, I try and stay away from workout information ... I'm of the belief that my readers are already leading active lifestyles and instead want to know more about cool gear, great people and hot places!

But that said, I often find myself reading many sites filled with interesting fitness information ... so from the mainstream to the obscure, I'll let you know whose saying what and where you can find it.

• For those men and women (yes, you're out there) who must pass gas at the gym ... Jill, over at College Candy gives us Fart Etiquette. I suggest that you follow her advice.

• Men: Thought backing yourself into a corner wasn't very impressive. Check out these simple moves (from Straight to the bar) that you can do with a barbell and you might just change your mind.

• Over at FitSugar: It's crunch time.

• Men's Health gives us their "Hell, I can do that resolution" list for 2008.

• Step in any gym, in any state and Chris, over at That's Fit, tells us that you'll find these people.
