Every individual has his/her own way of working on fitness. Fitness is no longer a choice, but a requirement due to our changing lifestyles and work patterns. In pursuit of staying fit, many of us source information available freely eg. internet or tips from family / friends which can be a fact or pure hearsay. In My Fitness Notion, we will try to deliberate and discuss these notions about fitness; accept them if its a Fact and reject them if its a Myth. Read through the blog and feel free to add your comments and suggestions.
