Not everyone has access to a gym. Not everyone wants to go to a gym. They are often overcrowded, loud and emanate an unseemly odor. Thankfully there are many other methods and places one can use to get fit and stay in shape.

Essential fats Omega 3 and Omega 6 play a key role in improving energy levels, stamina, performance, recovery, healing and fat loss. They are essential for everyone on the track and in the gym. Healthy fats are not only a health requirement for every man, but also for every woman and child, the young and elderly. Essential fats may improve brain function, skin condition, digestion, cardiovascular health, immune function, joint function and general health.
