Java Fit
STIMULANTS
Athletes can now find synergy in their morning cup of joe. Fort Lauderdale, Florida–based Javalution Coffee Company has blended an array of herbal supplements into its JavaFit beans. Additives range from green-tea extract to a jolt of extra caffeine. www.javalution.com

FREESTYLE SWIMMING
DON'T shorten the stroke by pulling your hands out of the water too early. You'll waste energy.

DO finish the stroke when your thumb passes alongside your thigh.

DON'T lift your entire face out of the water to breathe.

DO turn your head so that one eye is above the surface and one eye below. This will keep your body in a straight and more efficient line.
