Best Fitness Apps for Home Workouts
Gyms are a wonderful idea, but the truth is that they aren't for everyone. Some people like taking hikes in exotic places. Others get their exercise through yoga classes. And, still more have to figure out a way to squeeze a workout in at home because they just don't have the time to go anywhere else.

Fitness Fashions That You Need to Try
If you work out most days of the week, what do you wear to the gym? Regular sweatpants and a T-shirt? Maybe even black yoga pants to go with your tight-fitting middle school T-shirt with the year you graduated printed on the back? These days, a lot of people are working out in the most stylish activewear — women and even men. Despite how sweaty and rough they'll be, not only are their choices in workout wear really fashion forward, but they're designed specifically to work out in. You don't have to be following all the fitness fashion trends to like any pair of the following activewear. The majority of these clothes can handle your quickest moves without tearing, since a lot of them are created with stretchy material.

Salvador LorenzPublished 7 years ago in LongevityBreathing During Exercise

I researched the difference between isolation and compound movements, weighed the benefits of strength and endurance training, and studied the strange chemistry of sports supplements. I also found many suggestions telling me how to breathe.
My HIT Weight Loss
This photo is of me in July before diagnosed, September a week after being diagnosed and March before my holiday! One of my symptoms of HIT was unexplained weight issues. I would always be a stone heavier than friends who were the same dress size and height. Doctors would also predict my weight to be a stone lighter than I was. I was picked on at school for being the bigger one out of my friends. Tried diet after diet as the comments really effected me. Through every diet nothing really changed. I have always been active as I studied musical theatre and went to various dance classes growing up, so it wasn't due to lack of exercise. I ate a balanced diet. Didn't over eat. HIT can cause a lot of water retention and problems loosing weight. After a month and a half of a histamine-free diet, I had lost nearly 2 stone.
