Does losing weight help reduce back pain? In this article we’ll be exploring how these two seemingly unrelated factors come into play when looking at your overall health.

You definitely don't want anything, or anyone, weighing you down.

When running, it's important that you track your progress to see just how well you're doing. Done correctly, your progress can be a great motivator on those days when you're feeling down and unmotivated. That's why I always recommend using tech when running.
