If you run, lift weights, do crossfit, or take a spin class on a regular basis, or do any other sport or exercise that puts strain on your muscles, it’s important to follow up with a cool-down routine after your workout in order to prevent injuries.
When we exercise our muscles release lactic acid, which when left to pool and harden can cause muscle soreness and stiff joints. We also sweat, which leads to dehydration if you aren’t replenishing. A good cool-down routine can help you recover more quickly, without feeling your muscles and joints tighten and slow you down the next time you work out.
Following are some tips to keep in mind for your post workout routine:

JustFab, a clothing subscription service that has come under scrutiny in recent months for its questionable customer service tactics, has announced a corporate rebranding and continued growth in sales despite the criticism.
The rebranding efforts include a new company name, dubbed TechStyle Fashion Group, an effort to further expand its business opportunities and base of customers. The company claims the new name: “encapsulates the company’s origins rooted in technology while also signaling its evolution from a single e-commerce site to a global brand-building platform.” TechStyle Fashion Group currently has more than 4 million VIP members across all of its brands, including JustFab, Fabletics (an athletic clothing line co-founded by Kate Hudson in 2013), ShoeDazzle, and FabKids.

As an avid runner, I like to work out first thing in the morning before the sun gets too hot. Of course, that also means I have to wake up at a certain time so I can squeeze my workout in before heading to the office.
Too often, I’d find myself running behind, waking up late, or feeling too sluggish when starting my day.
There are two major challenges you encounter when you don’t prepare for your morning workout. Sometimes, you cut your warm-up routine short and don’t stretch your muscles enough before exerting them. They can tighten or cramp, which means possible problems during or after your run. It’s also easy to lose energy midway through your workout if you don’t take the time to prepare, which can delay you reaching your fitness goals.

When you want a good deal, chances are you look online for the best price. It’s a great way to compare items, read reviews, and make a good decision about what you want to purchase, rather than driving to several stores who may or may not have an item in stock. There’s no doubt about it: online shopping has made our lives much easier.
But when it comes to clothing and shoes, online shopping can get a little tricky. After all, we like to try things on and see how they fit, how they feel, and how we look in them. You can’t always get an accurate picture online.
On the other hand, if you hate shopping, you probably don’t want to spend hours at the mall trying to find the perfect pair of shoes or dress for that party. Online shopping can be a good way to cut down on the time you spend searching. That is, if you do it correctly.
Following are some tips for buying clothes and shoes online:

It’s summertime, and that means beach vacations, staying up late, and partying poolside with family and friends – which can also mean a lot of hamburgers, beer, and chips. (Who doesn’t like barbeque on a hot summer day?) These extra calories can make a difference, especially if you aren’t exercising regularly.
Diets and exercise routines can be hard to maintain when you are traveling because you’re not eating your regular home-cooked meals or going to your gym every day. And during the summer season, it’s hard to stick to your diet when you’re on vacation, or even when you’re home with all the festivities, late nights, and poolside barbeques.
This is why it’s a good idea this summer to take advantage of all the online help that’s out there, including using online fitness services and downloading some fitness apps to your phone. Most offer free basic services. The following are some reasons they will help:
