cardio

World music can be a great resource when you're putting together an exercise playlist — changing up your music routine can make you pay more attention to how the songs affect your energy levels.

Wondering if you should stay in the fat-burning zone during cardio exercise? Ignore those charts and focus on training your hardest instead.

Last week the greatest jumpers — freestylers, double-dutchers, all-arounders and speedsters — gathered in Washington, D.C. for the World Jump Rope Championships. I watched the coverage while jumping in my living room. The gifts of coordination and timing are truly awesome to behold in a competition like this one. But it’s the smiles that stand out the most.

It's the little things that count. Lose five to ten pounds in six weeks!

Heading to the gym with friends is one of my favourite things. Whether it’s for a group class or just to brave the weight room together, it’s wonderful to have a wing-woman or two by your side.
