When kids go to college, one of the first things they’re to expect to change in their life is their waistline, as most of them, as a rule, pack extra weight by the end of the first semester or year, nutritionists say.

The hottest thing in working out right now is something called interval training, fitness experts tell us. However, unlike in the case of diets, this is not a fad that promises miracles, delivers nothing in return, and then slowly slips off the map.

Drink water when you work out – this must be the one line that trainers say more times perhaps than any other. There is very sane reasoning behind it too, because we lose a lot of water and essential minerals by sweating, and we have to replace them somehow for the optimal performance.

If someone told us a few years ago that we could stay fit without as much as getting out of bed, we would have probably laughed at the assumption – or immediately thought of something inappropriate, or that would require the presence of another person.

We’re constantly told that, if we want to lose the extra pounds we’ve been complaining about since forever, we should get a gym subscription and start sweating all the fat off. We’re also told we’re to eat healthier but, whether we know it or not, the two don’t really seem to go hand in ... |

They don’t say boredom is the killer of a good workout for nothing.

As far as dieting goes, the French are probably one of the biggest lifestyle paradoxes around: they drink red wine regularly, have a high-fat diet and yet they have the lowest heart-attack rate in Europe and only 7% of the population is obese, compared to a staggering 23% in Britain, for example.
