The 6 Best Home Rowing MachinesFor too long, the rowing machine has been the default loner in the corner of the gym. The neglect needs to end, because rowing machines are a marvel of full-body fitness. Engaging 86% of your muscles (nearly twice as many as running or cycling) including quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, shoulders, back, arms and core — rowing burns more calories than any other piece of equipment.

Grease, oil, grime, it's all caused by built-up sebum, aka the scientific term for your hair's natural secretion. On the opposite end, dryness causes flakes, too. And how do you stop that? Oil. I know. It's confusing. Oil causes flakes, but can also stop them. A few drops help tame frizzy hair, moisturize both the hair and scalp, and add sheen and texture. The additional weight can aid in styling, too. Ready to give one a try?

The Best Wireless Earbuds for Running & Working OutNot all headphones can take a beating. If you have a pair that isn’t sweatproof, there’s a good chance they’ll die on you if halfway through a run or workout. And if they don’t fit your ears, well, they’re probably not going to stay in, either. Sport headphones add a new dimension to your workout. They’re light, comfortable and designed to stay securely in your ears during high-intensity intervals. So if you often find yourself lifting weights, running on the roads or trails or doing a total body workout, it’s time to swap out your basic buds for a pair that goes the extra mile.
