Hello everyone.  Today’s guest post comes from Jade Evans who is a freelance writer with uShip. ----- It may not seem like it for those who have not exercised in a long time, but cycling is one of the easier ways to exercise .

Future Changes To Free Fitness Tips

A happy women with her arms raised behind a selection of healthy foods.

Over the last few months I have been heavily focussing on the phytonutrients. In fact since March of this year I have written very little else.

I’ve received an Arte Y Pico Award

The first of these two bloggers is Angie from Vibrant Healthy U, an excellent health and fitness blog with some great post including this unique offering; The Eyes Have It. The second award came from Asithi of Small Steps to Health, another great health blog which I enjoy reading even though I don't always share the same opinions as Asithi on certain topics - for example milk. Anyway, thankyou both for the award. One of the most rewarding things about running this blog is … [Read more...]
