Why Swimming is the Best Sport
Getting in is the hardest part, but when you start gliding through the water, it is a surreal experience. There's nothing to hear except the water sliding past your head, down to your neck, over your shoulders, down your waist, and over your legs. You are one with the water. Not breathing all the time is kind of a bummer, but it builds up your heart rate and keeps you active.

Around six years ago, I was coming up to a milestone birthday. I was at my heaviest, I weighed just over 13 stone, and I am only 5'4". In my head, I looked like a weeble!
Michelle RashbrookPublished 7 years ago in LongevityPerfect Sports' Diesel Whey Protein (Supplement Reviews)
Bad pun aside. Perfect Sports' Diesel Whey Protein is one of the hottest selling protein supplements on the market. Whenever I ask my gym friends what supplements they take, 90% of them mention Diesel. And I can see why. I've used it myself for a better part of a year, and it's probably my favourite brand of protein (and I've had certain kinds that were better, but I find Diesel is the most consistently good).
Train Your Mind to Love the Gym
Working out for me has always been a necessary evil. It takes a lot of effort for me to want to go. Don’t get me wrong, I love the feeling of being a strong female, and once I do get there and start working out the feeling of dislike disappears. I like gaining muscle, I like being lean, and for a long time (6 years) I was even training as a kickboxing fighter. Trust me, I love that stuff. But it’s just hard to keep me in the mindset that I have to be there. I need to take care of myself better so that I can be the badass that I’ve always been.
Kimberly LovePublished 7 years ago in LongevityWhat the Doctors Didn't Tell Me About Weight Loss Surgery
Making the decision to have weight loss surgery was not an easy one. It took years for me to make the final decision, and with it came a lot of research. Many people believe weight loss surgery to be “the easy way” and that couldn’t be farthest from the truth. It has been more work than any other diet plan I ever tried, however, it is the one with the best results. I will say, this isn’t the right choice for everyone, however, it was for me, and I will never regret it.
Vanessa Cherron RiserPublished 7 years ago in LongevityMy First Fitness Blog!
My new fitness journey began in May. Before that, I had not really paid much attention to my exercise and eating habits. Not only was I in school and working part time, but my energy levels left me feeling drained after doing the simplest tasks. I could barely get through my homework without crashing, let alone go for a long walk after being on campus all day. And when I worked, it was even worse. As for my eating habits, I mostly just wasn't counting my calories and I allowed myself too many unhealthy options through out the week rather than limiting it to one day a week.
Lizzie BeePublished 7 years ago in Longevity5 Women Weight Training Myths Debunked
It seems there is a never-ending supply of advice when it comes to working out and losing weight. I am no better myself; I am obsessed with learning everything I can in regards to exercise regimes, breakthrough supplements, and weight-loss suggestions. Like all advice, you are bound to come across an article or two spewing information that is totally false. While we are usually able to sort through the bologna, sometimes our BS detectors fail us, leaving us to believe something we shouldn’t. For example, “Don’t run, it’s bad for your knees,” “Only do cardio to lose weight,” and the famous, “Lifting weights will only bulk you up.” While I can’t debunk all the myths, here are five strength training rumors that we have all heard, may have believed, but are completely untrue.
Jus L'amorePublished 7 years ago in LongevityHow To Clean Your Makeup Brushes Correctly
Makeup brushes are, of course, a very vital part of your daily makeup routine but over time can become clogged with oils, dead skin cells and old makeup. This can lead to bacteria growing on your brush which, in turn, you'll put onto your face the next time you apply your makeup – this leads to unwanted spot breakouts!

If you have never heard of Melaleuca before, you are probably pretty skeptical right now about "just another one of these subscription scam websites." I personally have been looking for meal replacement type products (currently waiting on some Soylent to ship), and I am definitely going to be ordering some protein shakes, vitamins, sports drink mixes, and energy bars from this website.
Andrew BryantPublished 7 years ago in LongevityWorking Your Workout
We all know in today’s world, there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. Most people work long hours at jobs, then come home to families with active lives of their own. Parents struggle enough trying to get in family time with all of the extra-curricular activities their kids are involved in. With the ever-growing struggle to get through the day, when is there time or energy to workout?
