You curled, squatted, and burpee-d your way through a full-body workout. But after an hour of nonstop fitness your sweat levels are… low. What gives? Did you totally phone it in during your exercise sesh? Because it doesn’t count unless you really break a sweat, right? *Insert buzzer noise here* Wrong! But you’re not the only […] More
Running alone can be dangerous. Even a survey from the States quantified that fear: women are more than twice as likely to say they’re afraid to venture out at night on foot.
