Beat the Summer Blues with a Home Gym by Rep

Let’s Beat the Summer Blues with some cool looking home gym equipment from Rep. Summer blues is a universal disorder. Changes and transitions are difficult, and the end of summer can be incredibly challenging for plenty of reasons. But you can beat the summer blues with a home gym by Rep Fitness. Here’s some great looking gear, that will help you beat the end of summer blues: Beat the Summer Blues – Overview Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is described as any mood disorder that happens simultaneously every year. Feeling symptoms of SAD in the summertime (summer depression or reversed SAD) is a familiar feeling for most people. The increased levels of sunlight confuse our internal clocks.

Nike Metcon 7 Versus Nike Metcon 6

Let’s compare the Nike Metcon 7 to the Nike Metcon 6. Now that the Nike Metcon 7 Mat Fraser has dropped we finally have something to compare against the Nike Metcon 6. At long last we have the Nike Metcon 7. It looks good (just remember this is the Mat Fraser Personal Edition – so it always looks a bit “dramatic”). Has Nike revolutionized the CrossFit shoe that millions know and love? We’ll compare this shoe to its very popular predecessor. This is Nike Metcon 7 vs Nike Metcon 6. And here’s where you can get these shoes: Let’s get right into the comparison. Nike Metcon 7 – Overview Let’s start from the bottom up.
