Jillian Michaels, the hard-core personal trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser, spent her adolescence overweight and unhappy. Enrolling in a martial arts class helped her shed the pounds and inspired her to dedicate her life to helping others lose weight. In her new book, Master Your Metabolism, she writes that the key to weight loss is balancing your hormones. As season seven of the show comes to an end this week, Michaels talks to TIME about why she recently called The Biggest Loser contestants "half dead," how much exercise the average person really needs and what changes...
...much should people exercise when they only have less than 50 pounds to lose? The key is intensity. Incorporate weight training, but don't overdo it. Don't do more than eight hours a week. Definitely not more than ten hours a week...
Seems like a good way of losing weight - if you can do it. If you can do it. I think most people can't, and I can understand why.

Do a video in your living room for thirty minutes...
Central to this task is the question of how best to balance protection, mobility and survivability in one vehicle. Lighter weight combat vehicles are key to rapid deployment but vehicles built for heavy combat are more likely to survive explosive encounters. IED protection for prospective vehicles could be improved with V-shaped hulls that would better divert the force of the bombs. Additional armor could also be added to the existing designs of the 27-ton vehicles to better protect against RPGs and, just in case, enemy tank fire. The Army Research Lab could also receive more funding to speed...
However, a vehicle that is half the weight of an Abrams could more quickly be deployed to a combat area on board a C-17 aircraft. But lightening the tank would also put in jeopardy all the sensitive hi-technology that the Army wants in the vehicle as well: next-generation sensors, battle command equipment and active protection systems engineered to detect and destroy enemy fire before it hits. So any new vehicle has to be built tough enough to withstand roadside bombs and explosively formed penetrators, a senior Army official said. In addition, 70-ton vehicles simply will...
