60 Must-Read Health, Fitness, and Happiness Blogs for 2014

60 Must-Read Health, Fitness, and Happiness Blogs for 2014
There's a dizzying number of blogs out there, all tempting us to procrastinate at work. But it's hard to know which sites are truly trustworthy, entertaining, informative, and Pinnable. So we went ahead and scoured the blogosphere to narrow it down to these standouts. They're keeping it real (no #fitspo here), using science to back up claims, always staying positive and inspiring, and delivering content we can't stop reading and sharing. We went after blogs that address interesting and timely issues and feature useful, upbeat (but never in an annoying way) posts that reflect Greatist's mission of making healthy living a little bit easier and a lot more fun. We then looked at a variety of factors, including frequency of posts, comments and engagement with readers, number of social media followers, and design quality to narrow down the list to these rock stars. Note: Blogs are arranged in no particular order.

Home » Why You Can’t Eat Healthier Post written by Leo Babauta. Most people have a hard time moving to a healthier diet, and they don’t understand what’s going on. I was one of those people: 70 lbs. heavier and addicted to junk food, I would often tell myself that I’m going to start a diet, and even buy a bunch of new food, only to find myself snacking on chips, grande lattes, cookies, French fries and more after a few days. Why? Food is a coping mechanism for most people, and to change our eating habits, we need new ways of coping. Some examples of how we use food to cope: We eat when we’re stressed. All of these (and more) are real needs. It has taken me years to figure this out and to slowly build new, healthier habits to deal with all of these needs. Some things that have worked for me (your mileage will vary): Exercise – a great way to deal with stress, boredom, anger. These are just a few ideas, and what works best for you will be highly personal.

We're here to help you achieve your goal of beginning to run your first 5K. Too many people have been turned off of running simply by trying to start off too fast. You should ease into your 5K training plan gradually. It's easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. Start Your 5K Training | A Few Minutes Each Week Each session should take about 20 or 30 minutes, three times a week.

Before setting out, make sure to precede each training session with a five-minute warmup walk or jog. 5K Training Schedule
