How about hitting the local pool? You can cut laps, join a swimming squad or even jump in on an (air-conditioned) fitness class – which, let's be honest, sounds far more appealing than a sweaty jog in the stifling heat. more

Get rollin’ – here’s how to ditch your car (and the traffic) for pedal power this year

Driving to work isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sure, it's a nice luxury, but honestly who really enjoys sitting in traffic at snail's pace? All that stopping, starting and stopping again can be pretty damn draining and really kills the mood when you're trying your best to harmonise with Craig David. Instead of always arriving to work in a sweat over how many minutes late you are, why don't you try weaving in a few bike commutes here and there? It's way easier than you think, you don't need a bike (of your own) and you don't even have to wear lycra ... well, you can if you want. more
