PERSONAL REVIEW OF THE FITBIT CHARGE2 WATCH
For the past year, one of my favorite sports accessories has been the Fitbit Charge2 watch. At least 9 hours of my day are on the move and before I took my watch I was addicted to the Shealth program on my phone.

I use it for a variety of statistics and features, both on the watch itself and on the phone app. Here I am sharing some of the key…

Depending on the intensity and nature of the exercises, I take either L-carnitine (for endurance when I have two workouts one after the other) or I prepare myself a protein mousse to boost my energy levels about 30-40 minutes prior exercising.

I leave the cremy substance for at least…

At least this is my experience through the years. I had tried a variety of diets, prepared by both nutritionists and fitness gurus. Finally, from all of them I combined the things which I like the most and which I consider most effective, I added the things from my personal experience that had proven to be working and so I set up my own regime that I follow unconditionally. I hold the view that a good diet is the one we follow with…
