The post-workout nap
Just curious to learn how many of you have a post-workout nap. When I was a dancer, I didnt need one, even after four hours of training. Since I started crossfit, I find myself needing the nap. Anyone else with some insight regarding this?

Dizziness when exercising in hot weather
So I cannot seem to figure this one out. I can exercise normally when it is not too hot and I'm totally fine. Since England was struck with this heatwave, my exercise has gone downhill. I keep on getting dizzy when only 10 minutes in my workout, so I make sure I drink plenty. However, there is not much point in a high…

Hi Guys & Girls, Just a quick question. How many steps per day is ideal for reasonable weight loss (2lbs per week). This in combination with a healthy diet of course. Since I have a desk job, I have no idea how many steps would be considered as active. Thanks in advance.

Finding time to exercise...
I know it sounds like an incredible cliche, but after work I'm usually so tired I either fall straight asleep or I have to do some washing and cleaning around the house. Seems like I'm always running out of time to exercise or just am too tired to do it. And I suffer from CFS so that doesn't help one bit. I get tired so…

Eating healthy costs
Although I can maintain my diet pretty well atm, I have been noticing that eating healthy comes with a very heavy price tag here in England. Prices of good food is nearly trough the roof whilst junk food is dirt cheap... And they wonder why the UK is having so many people who struggle with obesity!
