How many hours are in a day? 24 How many hours are i

Meditation comes in many forms. Some people can just sit in peace and quiet and meditate, but others find that place in the gym, running outside, or hiking in nature. Everyone has their "happy place", but true meditation can help with a lot of things. How does one meditate you might ask? It is quite simple.

What should you do? The answer? Whats best for you! In my opinion it really depends on how much time you have and if you are prone to injuries or not.

You may burn the same calories in running 20 minutes as you do walking in 50 minutes to an hour.

What are BCAAs? Branch Chain Amino Acids! The BCAAs are L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. Without an adequate supply of the BCAAs...your muscles can be depleted of them by the very exercises you perform to build them up -- thus the importance of supplemental BCAA intake.
