There are lots of supplements in stores that will add to our health. It has been proven though that many of these supplements don't add much. Ive been trying to read as much research as possible to get a better understanding what supplement will have real positive effects on our bodies.
In the coming weeks I will write some posts on what Have discovered. One of the supplements that have come up on my radar is Omega 3.

The Assault Air Bike is a great ‘default to’ exercise. If running or rowing is currently something you are unable to do due to injury, the Assault Air Bike is a great way to modify that movement in your workout. If you have a rolled ankle or a quad or hip flexor strain, the Assault Air Bike provides a good option for exercising safely. It could potentially be a great tool for rehabilitation as it provides safe movement with no impact. It also allows the area of the injury to move and provide blood flow to the area to aid in recovery.
