Dynamic Interval Training: Energize Fitness

Interval training involves alternating between intense bursts of activity and lighter intervals. Suitable for all fitness levels, it energizes your workout routine, preventing adaptation. It ignites calorie burn, enhances aerobic capacity, and wards off monotony.

September is Arthritis Month

Arthritis includes over 100 diseases that cause inflammation in joints or other areas of the body. These diseases are grouped into two different categories: osteoarthritis (most common, causes a breakdown in cartilage) and inflammatory arthritis (autoimmune disorder). Arthritis can involve almost any part of the body, though it most often affects hips, knees, the spine, and fingers. It’s a chronic condition, affecting people on a constant or recurring basis over months, years, or even a lifetime. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can lead to disability over time. Talk to your pharmacist about how they can help!
