My workouts and nutrition for the month of February are being fuelled by the Exox Lean-Pro Protein and Protein Synergy Bars from Evox, a leading local and international supplements brand.

But for most of us, the chances of exercising self-control are on the same level of us winning the lottery. Slim. Zero. None! And so we need great tips on stay fit and eat healthy during the holidays and avoid winter weight gain in order to keep it together in the midst of the jolly good times.

Until recently, I did not ever think that I would ever classify myself as an emotional eater. But stressful situations in the recent past have had me questioning my eating habits and this caused me to reach out to a wellness expert and nutritionist and seek some answers about emotional eating.
There are days and times when workout motivation is solid and you kill it in the gym without even using the ultimate gym playlist. Then there are days when you feel like you need a pair of binoculars to find the motivation to workout. This is called life. It happens to most of us and on days when the workout motivation is hard to find, you have to have an insane playlist of the best workout songs.
I know you are well aware that the Color Run Superhero Tour has been doing rounds this year since it’s 2017 world debut, in Soweto, back in April. If you claim not to be aware, no worries, I will tell you all about it and the best part? I will even rub photos in your face of me participating in The Happiest 5K on The Planet.
