Why jogging is better than walking
Have you taken up brisk walking as part of your New Year fitness campaign? Did you think that walking would be less tiring than jogging?

The Animal in You: Evolutionary Exercise

The poor journalist was subjected to a very public evolutionary training session in a London park under the supervision of Colin Holding, which involved squatting like a primate to stretch the spine, running (or crawling) [...] -
Healthy Fast Food Options?
I recently spotted a cover line on the front page of a women’s magazine that declared “Revealed!

Just watching women walk in them looks tricky, let alone run a 263ft course in under 1 minute. But 100 Women (and [...] -
Getting buff in the buff: could the naked gym workout catch on?
Following news that a gym in the Basque region of Spain is offering its members the chance to work out naked, it got us thinking; could nude fitness actually (surely not!) take off in the UK? The people behind the Easy Gym in Arrigorriaga noticed a drop in member numbers, which they put down to the [...] -
The benefits of running for middle aged beginners
If you’ve never been a runner before, the prospect of taking up the sport for the first time can be quite daunting. Many people assume that we all just naturally slow right down as we hit middle age and so avoid taking up running at this time in their life, as they assume it to [...] -
