Stay Put: Reviews of 5 Earphones Designed For Your Workout

Is an Exercise Class Only Part of Your Workout?

 

During my hour-long circuit-training class, we always spend a few minutes at the end for a cooldown stretch. It’s an important part of your workout, so our teacher never skips out on making us do it.

Mentally Preparing For a Workout

 

Yesterday, I was surprised by the sound of a calendar notification: “3 p.m., Crunch trainer.” As soon as I saw it, I cringed. Having made the appointment the week prior, it slipped my mind and I was nowhere near prepared. My gym bag was under my desk like usual, but I’m talking mental preparation. [...]
