It’s always nice to belong to something, and a relationship is one such partnership in which most people are happy to be a part. Ironically, unless you’re married or living together, spending time with that special someone can be difficult. This is because, as it is for other people in today’s society, work often takes precedence over everything else.
However, couples can carve out time by working out together (if distance allows it). This means spending quality time exercising instead of the usual dinner and movie date. Of course, nothing’s stopping you from going for dinner and a movie afterwards.

Exercising in the Cold
December 12th, 2011 by Angela Yorke | Exercises
Yes, it’s hard to head out when it’s still dark out, and there’s a cup of hot chocolate calling your name. Most of the time, the cold gets the best of your best intentions, but it’s still entirely possible to keep up an exercise routine and not have to regret the extra layer of insulation you packed on when the spring thaw finally comes around.
Keeping warm is important, of course, but exercising can lead to you feeling uncomfortably warm if you’re all bundled up when you go for a brisk walk. If you’ve planned to exercise vigorously and work

Keeping Active While Feeling Lazy
November 17th, 2011 by Angela Yorke | Exercises
There are some days when you just don’t feel like going for a run, to the gym, or to the pool for one reason or another. For me, it’d be a rare bout of rollover; where I hit the snooze button one too many times, so I can roll over and go back to sleep. We’ve all had those days. Sometimes taking really small steps can help you get back on the fitness track.
The obvious things to do would be to take the stairs, and not the elevator, or park further away from your destination. Otherwise, if you need

20 vs 50
November 14th, 2011 by Bea | Exercises
If you take a look at a lot of the 20 year-old people out there, you may not be so surprised by what I am about to tell you. When you think of a 20 year-old, you may assume that a 50 year-old would lose to that 20 year-old in a fitness test. Yet, a lot of times, if you compared a sedentary 20 year-old to a 50 year-old, the 50 year-old could out do their younger opponent.
Studies have shown that while age could result in making it more difficult to build strength, that does not mean that a 50

Jumping Jacks
October 18th, 2011 by Bea | Exercises
Remember when First Lady Michelle Obama was in the news because of her hula hooping campaign that was aimed at promoting children's health? Well, she took a different approach last Tuesday; this time it is jumping jacks.
Obama planned to break the Guinness World Record for having the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24 hour period. Seem odd to you? Well, it kind of is, but I think we all get her message; she wants people to be active, and this is a source of motivation for them. In order to surpass the current standard of 20,000, she
