This may come as a surprise, but just like you wouldn’t go for a jog in your favourite pair of jeans (you, wouldn’t, right?) the sunglasses you wear lounging poolside are not good for outdoor workouts.

There’s no denying that, after four years without an album or even a single of his own, Justin Bieber is finally gracing us with feel-good hits we just want to move to. “Intentions” is no exception, and the Fitness Marshall, as they’ve done for many popular songs, recently released a dance workout set to this

In 2018, I was the smallest I’d ever been. Then I got pregnant, and it all went off the rails. I developed a sweet tooth for the first time in my life and started crushing Zebra Cakes and chocolate croissants like they were the foundation of the food pyramid. I fell into the elastic embrace

If you would have told me five years ago I’d become an avid workout person, I would have laughed in your face.
