The studies show many positive effects of physical exercise on inhibition/interference control, which, as important components of our day to day lives, means that you could have even more motivation to get to the gym.

We’ve also got interesting news on whether it’s okay to exercise before going to sleep and whether it’s bad for you to exercise in the rain, along with some cool nutrition app suggestions for National Nutrition month. On top of all that, we’ve got an article on 20 indoor workouts you should give a try during these winter-spring months when the weather might not cooperate with an outdoor routine.

Please Note: The articles and videos listed below are informative, popular, newsworthy, or a combination of all three. Just because we have included an article within FitLinks does not necessarily mean that BuiltLean supports, or agrees with its contents or views. If you have a question about our position on any article, please leave a comment and we will be happy to respond!
