Using them can also strengthen the body through a range of motions by working across a number of different planes and through different directions. You can bend, twist and lean with them far more effectively to target muscles specific to different sports.

They could offer an advantage over normal lenses for sport by reducing the glare of light and sun.

Although we breathe mainly through our nose when resting, during exercise when we begin breathing harder, the air coming in is predominately supplied via the mouth. It may improve airflow through the nose, but there is no evidence that it reaches the lungs and boosts performance.

Definitely not. Eating fruit in the morning, like Claudia Schiffer, is fine, but countless studies show if you eat nothing, you will make up for it by consuming more high-calorie foods later.

I concentrate on exercises from the waist down, since that is the laziest part of a woman's body.

I was a prisoner inside my own body. I felt desperate, angry, stupid, confused, ashamed, hopeless and absolutely alone... and that this was of my own making. I could speak at home, how come I couldn't outside it? I have never been able to find the right words to describe what it was like. Imagine that for one day you are unable to speak to anyone you meet outside your own family, particularly at school/college, or out shopping, etc., have no sign language, no gestures, no facial expression. Then imagine that for eight years, but no one really understands. It was like torture, and I was the only person that knew it was happening. My body and face were frozen most of the time. I became hyperconscious of myself when outside the home and it was a relief to get back as I was always exhausted. I attempted to hide it (an impossible task) because I felt so ashamed that I couldn't do what other people seemed to find so natural and easy - to speak. At times I felt suicidal.
