SELFIES TOP THE POLL OF GYM PEEVES


Selfi e-snapping narcissists are the biggest pain in the gluteals for UK gym-goers, according to a national survey on annoying health club habits. Seventy-six per cent of gym users listed fellow


fi tness enthusiasts taking endless photos of themselves pre, post and even during workouts as their biggest pet peeve, while equipment hogging, excessive changing room nakedness and late arrivals at fi tness classes all made the top 10. The survey – which saw gym chain Velocity


Health & Fitness query 2,400 of its members – revealed that 70 per cent found men to be the most vain in the gym, whether fl exing muscles or fi xing their hair in the mirror.

Food and Brand Lab. “They can make you eat more, because you’re paying less attention to how much you’re putting in your mouth.” In the study, people ate snacks


while watching 20 minutes of different TV and fi lm genres. Those who watched an action movie consumed almost twice as many snacks – 98 per cent more – than those viewing a news talk show.

FIT FOR PURPOSE: MULTI-GYM OFFICE


Employees can work out at their office desk or improve their fitness while on a conference call thanks to a new Multi-Gym Fitness Office Chair. Those who don’t move regularly at work can
