workout clothes

The Food and Drug Administration said recent research raises "valid concerns" about the possible health effects of triclosan, an antibacterial chemical found in a growing number of liquid soaps, hand sanitizers, dishwashing liquids, shaving gels and even socks, workout clothes and toys.

It seems like everybody wants to get fit, yet far too many people go about it the wrong way. They join a high class gym, buy the cool workout clothes, and then spend more time socializing than exercising.

And, when they do finally get down to actually pushing some weight, they stop too early before the real burn begins.

So, if you fit either of these two categories, check out the advice below to better your workouts.

Unfortunately, this may also mean you'll be greeting the New Year with a few extra pounds under your belt ... which is why you should pencil an anti-workout into your weekly schedule.
