Athletics and fitness are the essential ingredients for your body to live a long and healthy life.

The №1 Reason You Should Exercise
Why do you exercise? Not that “it’s healthy” explanation. It is true, but not motivating enough. “I don’t want to be fat” — that is a little better. But it is still not the real reason.

Should You Use Ice After an Injury?
Two things come to mind when I think of Shaquille O’Neal. First, he was one of the most dominant centers in NBA history. Second, IcyHot “saved” him from pain.

HOCKEY MOM FOREVER
Four a.m. wake-up calls? Endlessly schlepping duffel bags? Blankets as outerwear? If any of this rings a bell, you’re probably part of the esteemed — yet strangely under-appreciated — tribe of Canadian hockey moms. Go team!

I ‘Forrest Gumped’ and Ran 55.3 Miles in Under 11 Hours - Twice
Pride is a motivator: Why would anyone put themselves through this kind of torture voluntarily? Reasons differ for taking on these challenges, my reason was mainly pride, to show the friends that had said I couldn’t do it, that I could. I wanted to shut them up, in the nicest way, of course.

Dancing with Shadows: On Boxing
The long, late rounds of a boxing match draw fighters into deep water; there’s a reason that commentators use the phrase as a common adage. More often, a fighter wins not against his opponent; but against an aquatic-like hypoxia. The boxer lives like a scuttling crab; wading slow motion against all will.

Twoga
My mother and I came out with an online exercise platform called “Twoga”. What is Twoga you ask? It is a combination of Yoga and Twerking. It would cost $9.99 for unlimited classes or a day pass for just $2.99 if you were unable to commit to the monthly membership or if you just wanted to try it out. Twoga would offer Twerking only classes, yoga only classes and a combination of both Yoga and Twerking. My mother is certified to teach a variety of yoga classes such as Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and Yoga Nidra. We would offer classes from every skill level, including beginner classes. At least two times per week (if not more) we would stream live classes. My mother has a story of how she got into yoga and why it is her passion to teach it. Her name is Donna. She has a 500 RYT with Yoga Alliance. My name is Jennifer and I have my own story as how Twerking changed my life. We each have our own story to tell, and we would love to share our passion about our online idea.

Rebounding Is My Passion
This challenge was a fun one, however a little difficult one. The challenge was to write about what I am most passionate about. That right there was the hard part, as there are many things that I am passionate about. I could write a whole thesis on what I am passionate about and the reasons for each one of them. The topic that I chose that I am extremely passionate is jumping on a trampoline, also known as rebounding. That has been one of my passion’s majority of my life.

BIKING FOREVER
You’ve likely seen them on trails or bike paths: Equipped with wide tires, between 4” and 5”, fat bikes certainly make an impression. Most cyclists ride them in snowy conditions or sand; run at low tire pressure, they float on surfaces where normal mountain bike, ’cross, or road tires would sink. And if you live somewhere with snow on the ground, a fat bike can keep you in great riding shape all winter long.
