Finding time to exercise in your busy day is a win, no matter what. But choosing the right gear will take your workout to the next level.
Proper footwear ensures you’re making the most of your time in the gym, allows you to move around properly, and helps prevent injuries. After all, just like you wouldn’t wear flip-flops to a business meeting, you wouldn’t want to wear shoes that hold you back from giving it all in a workout. |

Twist your upper body to one side, then slam the weighted ball down to the ground. Pick it up and repeat on the other side. If you don't have a weighted ball at home, you could use a basketball. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Falling star:
- Start in a high plank position, with your hands flat on the floor. Lift your right arm straight into the air. As you shift your body to the side, stretch your left leg across the floor. Repeat on the other side. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Punch plank
- Start in an elbow plank position. Keeping your body in a parallel line with the floor, tighten your hands into fists. Keeping your lower body as still as possible, punch the air in front of your right arm, then left. Continue alternating for 10 reps.

Certainly we all take pleasure in external things, but a study by Canadian psychologists has found that much of our joy comes from simply being nice. And, it’s got nothing to do with good manners or bad karma.
Being kind to other people makes us happy, the study found, and gives us a sense of wellbeing. Kindness also improves the way we perceive one another — and our outlook on the world. Kind people, it should come as no surprise, see the world as a better place. The researchers believe that performing acts of kindness helps everyone live more satisfying, engaging lives. |
