"Cocaine" Pulled From Shelves
The energy drink called Cocaine was pulled from shelves because of nationwide concerns about its name.
The FDA issued a warning letter last month to the distributer, Redux Beverages LLC of Las Vegas, saying that they were illegally marketing the drink as a "legal alternative" to the street drug and as a dietary supplement." On the company's website, the drink is advertised as “Speed in a Can,” “Liquid Cocaine” and “Cocaine — Instant Rush.”
The company argued that their energy drink has NO cocaine in it and nobody thinks it does.

Suddenly sprinting now that it is Spring, may feel like a good idea, but your hamstrings may have a different idea. If you rush your training, something we have all done at least once in our lives, you're bound to strain something. Straining or pulling (the more intense of the two injuries) a muscle is a fairly common injury and both occur when a muscle is stretched too far.
What is the Deal with: Pull Buoy Swim Tool
At most lap pools you can find an assortment of swim gear: kick board, fins, and pull buoys. I was unsure of the pull buoy until I started using swimming as a workout and now everytime I swim I use one.
You just put it between your legs, up as high as possible and swim, or pull, with just your arms - hence the name.
