Before, scrolling down to the list, ask yourself, ‘Why subscribe to a Fitness Magazine?’

Well, do you know, maximum gym subscriptions are done in month of January? Obviously, as they annoyingly manage to find a place in our list of resolutions, year after year. Do you know why? Because most gym subscriptions are cancelled in month of February every year and the list of resolutions is lost between other more important To Do’s of our life.
