You Asked: Burning Lungs From Running in the Cold
Hi Fit,
I recently started running outdoors and am really enjoying it. It's started to cool off, and breathing in the cold air really burns my throat and lungs when I jog. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?
The Health Benefits of Pets in our Lives
Many of the benefits of pets — companionship, affection and so on — have been well known for centuries — even numerous ancient Egyptians cherished their companion animals. However, data gathered during only the last few years have shown just how significantly our health is improved if we share our lives with animals.
A study undertaken in 2002 by the Waltham Center for Pet Nutrition and United States Food and Drug Administration revealed that the heart rates and blood pressures of pet owners increased less when the individuals were presented with math problems to solve if their companion animals were present.
When Did You First Start Working Out?
A little workout nostalgia — I was just thinking back to when I first started exercising, thanks in large part to my dad. Outside of required gym class or a sports team, I was trying to remember when fitness became important to me, and landed right at about eighth grade.
Around the end of middle school, beginning of high school, I started to pay attention to other girls and the way my own body was shaping up.

NEW MOON RANT(spoilers included)
First of all, let me say that I am a huge fan of the Twilight saga and i had been counting the days to the release of New Moon since June. However(and i really hate to say this), I was really disappointed with the movie :( As some of you know, I adore Robert Pattinson so it actually kills me to say this but Edward was not even close in the movie to the drop-dead gorgeous guy in the released pictures. He had funny make-up and weird red lipstick on.Yoga Poses to Begin or End Your Day!

Do You Live in a Healthy or an Unhealthy State?
If you want to be healthy, live in Vermont—or at least act like you do. It is the healthiest state in the country, according to a new report from the nonprofit United Health Foundation.

Growing up is harder in your 20's
So lately, I've been faced with a number of issues that would only occur at this stage in life. I'm a quarter of century and my body is changing, my brain is changing and my general approach to life, health and fitness have changed. My parents have also decided after 34 years of marriage to take a break.
