Much like how the Hunger Games and Avengers movies have contributed to the current popularity of archery, interest in kettlebells grew when the movie 300 was released in 2006; interest has been renewed as people search out strength training methods that differ from the norm.

Hydration Belts
May 15th, 2012 by Louise | Eating & Exercise
There was a time when I didn't speak too highly of hydration belts. I didn't like the idea of carrying extra water; I imagined it would uncomfortably slosh around during my run. The first hydration belts probably did cause some discomfort during exercise. Of course, things have changed. As we can always expect to be the case nowadays, improvements in technology and design have led to a number of new hydration designs that are sleeker, lighter, and more comfortable than ever before.

Some days end up like today, I had every intention to go to the gym, but it just didn’t happen. My kid got sent home sick from school. I had a pile of work to fight through. There wasn’t a free hour in the day to get out of the house. But I didn’t want to feel guilty about missing my daily workout, especially with beach season right around the corner. And since I still haven’t decided between a treadmill or an elliptical trainer, I have nothing to work out on at home.
