Everything you need to know before getting on the rowing machine in the gym

Of all the cardiovascular training machines available within a gymnasium, possibly the most complete is the rowing machine, since in addition to the cardiovascular work itself it will also allow us to perform strength work , both upper and lower train.

However, this machine has to its credit that it requires an adequate technique of use, since a bad position or poor execution of the movement could easily cause an injury with the passage of time.

Mark Text, a promising free, cross-platform, open source Markdown editor

Gone are the times when we just left Word, Writer or Pages at the time of writing. Since a few years ago, many text editors have emerged month after month and some are, truly, a genius . It is the case of Mark Text , the Markdown minimalist style editor that concerns us today.

We should start by making it clear that we are not facing a product as mature as Typora or iA Writer , nor as complete as QOwnNotes , but little has to envy of these.

Collagen supplements for the joints: why it is better that you spend your money on something else

The collagen supplements, alone or combined with other magnesium and vitamins, are a hit, especially in the sector of sports supplements. In theory they help maintain and recover tendons and muscles, especially in the joints.

That being the case, who would not want to take advantage of their properties? The problem is that, as often happens, it is not like that. It is not like that at all . Collagen supplements have not proven their supposed benefits and in fact their mechanism of action is scientifically incorrect. We explain why.

The debate about running that has been open for more than a century: is it beneficial or harmful to your health?

To this day we have (or should have) the need to exercise fully internalized as part of the care we give our body and our health . And it’s nothing new: since antiquity , moderate physical activity as one of the pillars to enjoy vitality and resistance to diseases.

But this relationship between health and sport, especially speaking of athletics and running, has lived its plus and minus throughout history.

Ubuntu 18.04, the most exciting version in many years

Ubuntu 18.04 is here, and although it sounds too optimistic, or maybe it is part of the good taste of Bionic Beaver when you use it, I would say that the future of Ubuntu looks brilliant . Or, at least it looks more interesting than what they had been presenting in recent years.

Already with Ubuntu 17.10 we had been able to take a look at the new direction of the distribution . This is an Ubuntu that has left behind Unity, a Canonical that has left behind its ideas of convergence and Ubuntu Touch. A company that will now concentrate on its main and profitable product: the desktop operating system.

This is all that happens in your body when you use steroids

Just as to lose weight there are slow but safe methods, such as a healthy and balanced diet, and shortcuts that can be unhealthy (in addition to ineffective in the medium term), such as undergoing very restrictive diets, also in the field of muscle building there are traps what one can do to get more results in less time.

One of those tricks is the use of anabolic steroids , substances and medications that help to gain muscle mass . But what are they and exactly how do they work? And what is equally important: what can be its side effects?
