Losing Weight through Exercise
There are a lot of fitness tips out there, but this week we found some really interesting articles about adapting to a healthy lifestyle both inside and outside of the gym. Whether you prefer to turn to yoga for weight loss, or running, or weight lifting, your DNA can influence how effective those are at helping you lose weight. So make sure you pay attention to your genetic profile when choosing which of these articles to use for your own weight loss journey!
