When I wrote a list of 50 things you don't have time for after having a baby , one of the things that seemed to resonate most with people was number 16: exercise. It's one of life's sick jokes that new mums are generally in the worst shape of our lives, and the least able to do anything about it.
So Get the Gloss asked me to try out a few toning workouts that could be done at home, perhaps while the baby slept. I pointed out that I wasn't bloody Gwyneth Paltrow, and had better things to be doing than tone my triceps during a nap: like laundry, or working, or wiping down the highchair for the millionth time. But they argued that a) the endorphins might stop be being such a grumpy bitch, and b) they would pay me. Thus, here we are.
This isn't actually my first foray into exercising at home. I tried it once before, in the brief period after I'd given birth, but still looked as if I was pregnant (“I thought you’d had the baby,” said next door’s builder on Day Three – thanks for that). Each time the baby went down for a nap, I'd do a little circuit of sit-ups, tricep dips and so on. Trouble was, doing a plank on the landing just made me FEEL like a plank. There was none of the structure that made me push myself in exercise classes and I quickly gave up, accepting my saggy fate.
The only people I know who have tried and stuck with exercising in the house had either a bit of equipment like a treadmill or a PowerPlate in the garage, or an exercise DVD of some kind to help them. I don’t have the money or space for a treadmill, and somehow I can’t see myself setting aside an hour to do high-kicks in the living room with Natalie Cassidy.
So instead I went in search of a home workout system that would be quick, inexpensive, effective and require minimal setup. I was pretty chuffed to find three that would fit in a drawer, cost less than £15, and take less than 30 minutes.
The 10-minute home workout: The Bodyism Band
My immediate reaction when my Bodyism band was delivered was: “Twelve quid for a big rubber band?” But what you’re paying for are the clever exercises developed by James Duigan and his “clean and lean” team, which are explained with pictures and instructions on a leaflet that comes with the band.
I start with 'tube walking', a simple move where you put the band around your ankles and step 20 paces to the side. Troublingly, the leaflet doesn’t say which way to step, but I settle on doing ten either side. (If there is a room in my house where I could do 20 sideways steps, it’s pretty much a certainty that I’d have trodden on a Duplo brick by the time I got to the other side of it.) Although this looks easy, it’s surprisingly effective, pulling on the inner thighs and glutes.
Then there’s an exercise where you pull the band up above your knees, squat and turn one knee in towards the other 15 times, before repeating on the other side. The instructions fox me at first – “Switch on your hip and thigh muscles”? How does one do this? Is there a button that I’ve somehow missed? – but I have a go, clenching my tummy, bum and thighs and hoping that my hips get the message. Whether or not I’m doing it right, it’s quite painful (in a good way) as the lactic acid builds up, working the thighs and glutes.
Doing three sets of these exercises takes no more than ten minutes, and while it’s not a full body workout, it’s a great way to tone the bum and thighs. You don’t even need to change into sports kit to do it. I’m hooked.
The Bodyism Exercise Band , £11.95
The 20-minute home workout: Fitness-Mad Studio Pro Safety Resistance Trainer
My sister got me this as a birthday present but I left it in the box for ages because I thought it would be complicated to set up and use. Not so: a stretchy, covered latex band with a handle at either end, you secure it either by standing on it (for arm exercises) or shutting it into a door (for leg exercises, situps and so on). They recommend that you use a lockable door in case someone opens it while you're mid-exercise and causes you to fall, injuring and/or making a complete tit of yourself. But I question how much of a risk this is when the only other person in the house is an under-two.
Like the Bodyism band, the Fitness-Mad resistance trainer comes with a leaflet outlining some exercises you can do with it. I use the door attachment and run through some fairly standard moves such as crunches and bicep curls. The reverse curl, a tricep exercise where you pull the band down from elbow height down by your sides and back up again, is particularly satisfying – it’s much easier to get the right posture than it would be using dumbells. I also like the reverse leg extension, where you loop the band around one ankle and lift your leg behind you, working the bum and hamstrings.
Fitness-Mad aren’t pushing you with these exercises, recommending 3 sets of 8-12 for each, and once I get the hang of them I can complete the circuit in about 20 minutes. Not bad for a workout that covers arms, tummy, legs and bum.
Safety Resistance Trainer , £13.99
The 30-minute workout: Barrecore EXPRESS online
If you want to tone up, you can’t beat a barre workout. Using fairly small, isometric movements to target specific muscle groups, the studio classes typically use props such as a ballet barre, a resistance band and a medicine ball, but Barrecore have created several videos that you can follow at home without any special kit – having grippy barre socks and a mat is useful, but not essential.
Once you’ve signed in (you can use Google, Twitter or Facebook to make it quicker) and paid (by credit card or PayPal), the class pops up in Vimeo. At least, it does on a modern browser – I did have to switch before I could get it to work.
I selected the BarrecoreEXPRESS class, because that was all I had time for before the baby woke up, but I suppose I also hoped it might be slightly easier than the usual 60-minute class. Not so – instructor Megan has us doing high leg lifts within seconds, speed-talking us through a range of Barrecore moves that work our legs, seat and core especially.
The online classes are probably most useful if you’re used to going to the studio classes and know the exercises already. Not being terribly experienced or co-ordinated, I struggle slightly to keep up, moving my laptop from a table to the floor and back up again as Megan and her class switch rapidly between planks and ballet jumps. But at least she can’t see me cheating.
At the end of half an hour (it’s billed as 25 minutes, but with five minutes of core work at the end and a quick stretch, I make it 31.5), I feel pumped. I also need a shower, however, so do allow five minutes for that if you’re as sweaty and unfit as me. I'm still not convinced that I'll be able to make this a priority on a regular basis, but nevertheless, as I step into the water a word pops into my head that is not part of my usual vocabulary. It is: BOOM!

There's one prevailing piece of advice when it comes to managing air travel in 2022: “pack your patience.” But as flight cancellations and delays continue, there are also some steps you can take to make the process as smooth as possible, industry insiders say. From avoiding peak times to packing a luggage tracker, here are their tips.
Preparation starts at home
Before you head to the airport, make sure you have all your documentation in order, said Leila Lavaee, the founder of a Toronto-based travel agency.
Whether it's your passport, your boarding pass, your proof of vaccination or evidence of a negative COVID-19 test, figure out what you need to get on the plane and make sure it's easily accessible before you leave home.
It's also a good idea to download your airline's app, she said, along with Flighty, a third-party app for tracking flights. That way, you'll have up-to-the-minute information about your flight's status.
And finally, she suggested signing up for your airline's loyalty program to get a leg up.
“Airlines are now increasingly wanting to ensure their loyal customers have a better experience,” Lavaee said. “There are shorter lines and specific counters for you if you've got status with an airline.”
Avoid connecting flights
This is the best thing you can do to avoid headaches at the airport, said Martin Firestone, a travel insurance broker in Toronto.
Each layover is a chance for something to go wrong, be it a delayed flight that leads to a missed connection or a checked bag that gets lost.
“If you get backlogged, it's like a domino effect,” he said.
Consider the timing
Booking a flight during peak times is a recipe for disaster, said Richard Vanderlubbe, president of tripcentral.ca.
If you're flying out of Toronto Pearson Airport, for example, he said to avoid a morning departure. On your way back, avoid a late-afternoon/early evening ETA.
Checking your flight status online, in addition to relying on email alerts, is also a good idea, he said.
And last-minute bookings could cause problems, Vanderlubbe said.
“Don't cut things too close - avoid 'just in time' flights for important events (such as) weddings, funerals, business meetings,” he said. “Get in a day early if you can.”
Pack smart
Lost and delayed luggage has become a hallmark of the modern travel tale, so if you can get away with packing just a carry-on - without going over the recommended weight limit - that's your best bet, Vanderlubbe said. But he warned that an overstuffed carry-on could create an even greater headache.
For those who must check luggage, he encouraged people who are travelling with a companion to pack a couple of their items in the other person's suitcase, to mitigate the impact of a single lost bag.
Firestone, meanwhile, said some of his clients have had luck attaching a tracker like the Apple Air Tag to their luggage so that even if their airline loses their bag, they'll know where it is.
Plan your activities
It's helpful to think of “airport time” like you would “plane time,” said Lisa Gerlsbeck, a travel agent with PureMagic Vacations who works out of Kingston, Ont.
“You bring stuff on that plane to keep your kids busy and entertained for those two hours or whatever it might be. Treat the airport like that because it could be that long as well,” she said.
If you're travelling with children, prepare to let them have more screen time than usual, Gerlsbeck said. If you have old, outdated smartphones lying around the house, this is their time to shine: hand them to the kiddos and let them take pictures and video documenting the journey at the airport, or download a couple games they can play.
It's also worth downloading a few extra movies for kids and adults alike, she said.
For an analogue option, Gerlsbeck suggested sticking a pack of cards in your carry-on.
Landing is just the beginning
The deboarding process is not what it used to be, Gerlsbeck said. Typically, only those with connecting flights are let off the plane right away. Everyone else disembarks in zones - a lengthy process that could leave some unlucky folks sitting on the tarmac for hours.
For that reason, she suggested using the washroom before the descent begins and the seatbelt light turns on.
And don't treat landing like the end of the plane journey, she said.
“We all got very used to, as soon as you landed, you stood up, you started gathering your items. Don't do that,” she said. “Stay seated. I tell my clients, the kids won't even realize they're landed if Buzz Lightyear keeps playing.”

TORONTO - DesRosiers Automotive Consultants says Canadian auto sales were down 11.5 per cent in June compared with a year earlier as supply challenges persist.
The consultancy estimates 143,773 new light vehicles were sold in the month for the lowest June sales since the recession year of 2009.
The sales total is a notable drop from the 162,500 sold last year, while in 2018 there were more than 200,000 vehicles sold in the month.
Andrew King, managing partner of DesRosiers, says in the report that “vehicle shortages remain severe and dominate the market environment.”
Supply challenges, linked largely to semiconductor chip shortages created by the pandemic, continue to limit a rebound in sales.
DesRosiers says the seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales for June came in at 1.45 million units, up somewhat from the 1.36 million units in May.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 4, 2022.

Stressful life events can take their toll on our minds, our bodies and often, our relationships with food. Causing us to either under or over-eat, grief in particular can have a significant impact - a situation that Doctor Hazel Wallace, aka The Food Medic , knows only too well, having experienced it first-hand after losing her father when she was 15 years old. “I lost myself in sadness and grief, and turned into a very hopeless and underweight young girl,” she shares with us.
An extremely difficult time, her turning point came via her doctor. “When I was very underweight, my GP turned to me and explained that if I could not manage to put weight on, I would require hospitalisation and feeding via a drip. It was at that point that I realised just how bad things had gotten and I vowed to myself that I wouldn’t let that happen. I found a dietitian and asked her to help me get back to a healthy weight. We had weekly weigh-ins to keep me motivated to gain weight and after three months, I had gotten back to a healthy weight and was discharged from her care. I never looked back.”
Knowledge fuelled her and now as a qualified junior doctor, she wants to share it in order to help others strengthen body and mind through what they eat too. “That experience has given me a huge appreciation and understanding of how food has the potential to make us both physically and mentally strong,” she says. “My mission is to share that message and to encourage people to maximise their health through food.”
Her ethos is practical and pragmatic, with her new book bourne out of a desire to bridge the gap between mainstream medicine and nutrition. Broken into four key areas (the heart, the brain, the gut and skin), her aim is to provide clear and non-faddy advice on how to build a healthy diet using her own personal journey and her professional training in the medical sphere as key influences.
We caught up with Dr Wallace to talk all things wellness and nutrition, her personal relationship with food and the key pieces of advice she hopes to share in her new book.
GTG: What was the inspiration behind your book?
HW: This book is inspired by my own personal journey through sickness and health and my training as a doctor. I wrote it to educate others on how to maximise their health so that they can look and feel amazing. I want to debunk the myths that are out there surrounding dieting and instead offer solid, evidence-based advice.
GTG: What would you say differentiates it from others out there?
HW: I guess what makes it different is that it was written by me - a qualified doctor, a personal trainer, and a girl who has turned her life around, and her health, through nutrition. I'm not trying to sell you any quick fix or secret. They don't exist. My intention is to help you find a happy, healthy relationship with food. To learn that food has the potential to improve your health, both psychically and mentally. To show you that you don't need to do anything drastic, or cut things out, in order to have a 'healthy' lifestyle. Is sugar the enemy? Will fat make me fat? What are the best sources of protein for a vegetarian? What foods will improve my gut health? - it's questions like these that I answer, not to mention the 70 recipes and workout section that's in there too! I promise you that you will never buy another ‘diet’ book again.
GTG: Could you tell us about your background and training in nutrition?
HW: I’m not a nutritionist or a dietitian, but I am a doctor with a special interest in nutrition. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Medical Sciences, and as part of that, studied a module in nutrition, but I still wouldn’t call it a robust nutritional qualification. I have a degree in Medicine (MBBCH) which means I practice as a medical doctor. Finally I have a qualification as a personal trainer. So all of my qualifications cover nutrition to some extent, but the biggest advantage of having a scientific qualification is that I have the ability to read and analyse scientific papers and offer evidence-based advice on the current research.
GTG: How would you say that you bridge the gap between mainstream medicine and nutrition?
HW: There are nutritionists and dietitians, and there are doctors, but there is no in-between and I think that’s what is missing. I firmly believe that doctors should have more training at medical school in nutrition in order to offer patients even very basic nutritional advice. In this day and age we deal with a lot of ‘lifestyle’ diseases, so things like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Through dietary intervention we can help reduce, and even reverse, some of these diseases and that’s something which we can all do at home, starting with what we put on our plate.
And now for our quick-fire GTG quiz…
In three words, I’m….
Strong, hard-working, and honest.
My last health check was…
Probably my last smear test! I’m a doctor so I tend not to stress too much about my own health!
Healthy to me means…
Loving your body by giving it the food and movement that it needs in order to live your most fulfilling, happiest life.
The workout that works is…
The one that YOU enjoy! What works for me is lifting heavy weights and getting my heart rate up with HIIT training.
I sleep…
Starfished across the bed.
My secret to staying sane is…
The gym.
I got my big break by…
My article in The Times newspaper.
My best budget beauty buy is…
Rosehip oil.
My biggest health or beauty spend is…
My gym membership.
The toughest thing I’ve ever had to cope with is…
Losing my dad.
Complete this sentence, money is…
Not the answer to happiness.
If I gave myself a performance review…
I would be brutally honest and too harsh on myself!
What I do before breakfast…
I wake up at 5:00 and make a coffee. I grab my gym bag, my lunchbox and a protein shake and head to the gym for a 45 minute workout before work. After my session, I have a quick shower and gobble down my overnight oats from my tupperware box before dashing off to work for my ward round at 7:30am.
If you came by for lunch I’d make…
A goats cheese frittata.
I always say yes to…
Chocolate.
I always say no to…
Cigarettes.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) - A gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror, police said.
Authorities said a 22-year-old man named as a person of interest in the shooting was taken into police custody Monday evening after an hourslong manhunt.
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
“It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference.
“I'm furious because it does not have to be this way... while we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly - yes, weekly - American tradition.”
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers - some visibly bloodied - fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child's Chicago Cubs cap.
“There's no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III about five miles north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man's photo and an image of his silver Honda Fit, and warned the public that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Police declined to immediately identify Crimo as a suspect but said identifying him as a person of interest, sharing his name and other information publicly was a serious step.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. Police have not released details about the victims or wounded.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn't have information on the sixth victim who was taken to a hospital and died there. One of those killed was a Mexican national, Roberto Velasco, Mexico's director for North American affairs, said on Twitter Monday. He said two other Mexicans were wounded.
NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five patients were children.
Temple said 19 of them were treated and discharged. Others were transferred to other hospitals, while two patients, in stable condition, remained at the Highland Park hospital.
The shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m., when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O'Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
“Very random, very intentional and a very sad day,” Covelli said.
President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day.” He said he had “surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time.”
Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that showed at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists.
Police believe there was only one shooter but warned that he should still be considered armed and dangerous. Several nearby cities canceled events including parades and fireworks, some of them noting that the Highland Park shooter was still at large. Evanston, Deerfield, Skokie, Waukegan and Glencoe canceled events. The Chicago White Sox also announced on Twitter that a planned post-game fireworks show is canceled due to the shooting.
More than 100 law enforcement officers were called to the parade scene or dispatched to find the suspected shooter.
More than a dozen police officers on Monday evening surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. A large armored truck, marked “Police Rescue Vehicle,” occupied the middle of the road near the residence. Police blockaded roads leading to the home in a tree-lined neighborhood near a golf course, allowing only select law enforcement cars through a tight outer perimeter.
Highland Park is a close-knit community of about 30,000 people located on the shores of Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, with mansions and sprawling lakeside estates that have long drawn the rich and sometimes famous, including NBA legend Michael Jordan, who lived in the city for years when he played for the Chicago Bulls. John Hughes filmed parts of several movies in the city, including “Ferris Bueller's Day Off,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Weird Science.”
Pritzker, a Democrat, promised support for the community as well as to bring gunman to justice.
“There are no words for the kind of evil that shows up at a public celebration of freedom, hides on a roof and shoots innocent people with an assault rifle,” Pritzker said.
Ominous signs of a joyous event suddenly turned to horror filled both sides of Central Avenue where the shooting occurred. Dozens of baby strollers - some bearing American flags, abandoned children's bikes and a helmet bedecked with images of Cinderella were left behind. Blankets, lawn chairs, coffees and water bottles were knocked over as people fled.
Gina Troiani and her son were lined up with his daycare class ready to walk onto the parade route when she heard a loud sound that she believed was fireworks - until she heard people yell about a shooter. In a video that Troiani shot on her phone, some of the kids are visibly startled at the loud noise, and they scramble to the side of the road as a siren wails nearby.
“We just start running in the opposite direction,” she told The Associated Press.
Her 5-year-old son was riding his bike decorated with red and blue curled ribbons. He and other children in the group held small American flags. The city said on its website that the festivities were to include a children's bike and pet parade.
Troiani said she pushed her son's bike, running through the neighborhood to get back to their car.
“It was just sort of chaos,” she said. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.”
Debbie Glickman, a Highland Park resident, said she was on a parade float with coworkers and the group was preparing to turn onto the main route when she saw people running from the area.
“People started saying: `There's a shooter, there's a shooter, there's a shooter,”' Glickman told the AP. “So we just ran. We just ran. It's like mass chaos down there.”
She didn't hear any noises or see anyone who appeared to be injured.
“I'm so freaked out,” she said. “It's just so sad.”

SYDNEY (AP) - Hundreds of homes have been inundated in and around Australia's largest city in a flood emergency that was threatening 45,000 people, officials said on Tuesday.
Emergency response teams made 100 rescues overnight of people trapped in cars on flooded roads or in inundated homes in the Sydney area, State Emergency Service manager Ashley Sullivan said.
Days of torrential rain have caused dams to overflow and waterways to break their banks, bringing a fourth flood emergency since March last year to parts of the city of 5 million people.
The New South Wales state government declared a disaster zone across more 20 local government areas overnight, activating federal government financial assistance for flood victims.
Evacuation orders and warnings to prepare to abandon homes impacted 45,000 people as of Tuesday, up from 32,000 on Monday, Sullivan said.
“The weather is meant to stick around for at least today and tomorrow, and the threat will remain with those flood warnings for the rest of this week,” Sullivan told Nine Network television.
Parts of southern Sydney had been lashed by more than 20 centimeters (nearly 8 inches) of rain in 24 hours, more than 17% of the city's annual average, Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Jonathan How said.
Severe weather warnings of heavy rain remained in place across Sydney's eastern suburbs on Tuesday. The warnings also extended north of Sydney along the coast and into the Hunter Valley.
The worst flooding was along the Hawkesbury-Nepean rivers system along Sydney's northern and western fringes.
“The good news is that by tomorrow afternoon, it is looking to be mostly dry but, of course, we are reminding people that these floodwaters will remain very high well after the rain has stopped,” How said.
“There was plenty of rain fall overnight and that is actually seeing some rivers peak for a second time. So you've got to take many days, if not a week, to start to see these floodwaters start to recede,” How added.
The wild weather and mountainous seas along the New South Wales coast thwarted plans to tow a stricken cargo ship with 21 crew members aboard to the safety of open sea.
The ship lost power after leaving port in Wollongong, south of Sydney, on Monday morning and risked being grounded by 8-meter (26-foot) swells and winds blowing at 30 knots (34 mph) against cliffs.
An attempt to tow the ship with tugboats into open ocean ended when a towline snapped late Monday, Port Authority chief executive Philip Holliday said.
The ship was maintaining its position on Tuesday farther from the coast than it had been on Monday with two anchors and the help of two tugboats. The new plan was to tow the ship to Sydney when weather and sea conditions calmed as early as Wednesday, Holliday said. The original plan had been for the ship's crew to repair their engine at sea.
“We're in a better position than we were yesterday,” Holliday said. “We're in relative safety.”

Indonesia school helps students recite Koran in sign language
Concerned about how Indonesian students with hearing impairments often miss out on religious education, cleric Abdul Kahfi founded an Islamic boarding school to help them study and recite scripture from the Koran using sign language. Opened in 2019 in the city of Yogyakarta in central Java, the Darul A'shom school now has 12 staff and teaches 115 students aged between seven and 28 years from across the world's biggest Muslim-majority country.
Concerned about how Indonesian students with hearing impairments often miss out on religious education, cleric Abdul Kahfi founded an Islamic boarding school to help them study and recite scripture from the Koran using sign language.
Opened in 2019 in the city of Yogyakarta in central Java, the Darul A'shom school now has 12 staff and teaches 115 students aged between seven and 28 years from across the world's biggest Muslim-majority country. Abdul hopes the school will make it easier for future generations to learn about Islam.
"Nowadays hearing-impaired adults barely know religion in depth because from school age they have never learned about it," said the cleric, noting how interest in his school had spread quickly. In Indonesia, the curriculum in public schools provides limited religious teaching to children with special needs, starting at the age of eight or nine rather than at kindergarten as is the case for many other students.
Only three out of 10 children with disabilities in Indonesia are able to go to school, according to a survey by the United Nations children's agency (UNICEF). Hearing-impaired students typically take about five years to learn to recite and memorise the Koran at the school.
"Now I am able to read and memorise 30 juz (parts) of the Koran," said Muhammad Farhad, a 10-year-old student, who said he wanted to become a cleric one day so he can pass on his knowledge to others. Indonesia has tens of thousands of Islamic boarding schools and other religious schools that often provide the only way for children from poorer families to get an education.

I have always loved to move my body and rather than sweating it out every day on a treadmill, I gravitate towards outdoor sports as I love to be in nature. Being in a park or exploring a hiking trail adds another element of adventure to exercise. I believe variety is important - mixing it up - and I value quality over quantity. I feel my best when I am fit and exercising regularly, I am inclined to eat better and I sleep better.
My relationship with exercise has changed over the years. What worked for me in my twenties doesn’t necessarily work for me now. I used to think I had to reach a certain intensity at each workout, but I have come to realise the importance of listening to my body. When I wake up in the morning, I decide what body work I will do that day. My menu is long: Pilates, Bikram yoga, spin classes, Barry’s Bootcamp, boxing, swimming, walking, running, hiking, surfing, yoga, massage, acupuncture and reflexology (phew!). Choose any of the above!
I like to move my body every day for at least an hour. For me, exercise needs to be fun so I will be inspired to do it again. I love to paddle board, surf, swim or waterski. I did a hip-hop class the other day (I was so out of rhythm but I laughed a lot, it’s good for the soul). If I could choose one form of exercise it would be snow skiing; I love the speed, I love the mountains and it's like a meditation because I don't think of anything but skiing - and it’s something I do on holidays so there’s that fun association.
How I prep for a shoot or campaign
If I have a shoot, I’ll plan four weeks ahead. I make sure I am getting my seven hours of sleep, which is essential if you want to lose weight and detox. I switch my training focus to ab work and swimming because for me, it has the biggest impact to create a long lean body and you can do it every day without stressing the joints.
When I swim, it’s breaststroke laps (about 100 depending on the size of the pool) with my head out of water, plenty of sunscreen and a cowboy hat on my head! Funny sight! I’ll also do our four-week body plan where I swap breakfast for a protein smoothie, cut out sugar and no carbs after 5pm.
I try to be kind to myself
Wellness over extremes
I think we’re all obsessed with being too thin. But being thin isn’t necessarily healthy, it can add pressure to our adrenals, it results in lack of nourishment, it causes stress on your system. These days, I focus on how I feel. I’m not defined by a dress size or a number. Wellness is key to me.
Exercising away from home
I love to run, especially when I am in a new city, it helps me get my bearings. There’s something about being outside, seeing new things, discovering a hidden park or vibrant laneway that touches the soul. If I am short on time, or in space like in a hotel room I have a go-to 15-minute ab routine. I know mine by heart but there are so many great exercise apps out there. Choose a 15 to 20-minute ab workout, then do ten minutes of stretching and you will feel amazing. Checking out the hotel gym is a great way to meet other travellers. If I'm in a gym, I’ll do a combination of boxing, TRX, weights and mat work. For effectiveness, I prefer weight-bearing, core exercises, especially planking, pushups and sit ups.
Dealing with a motivation slump
There are definitely days when I feel unmotivated, days when I am busy and it’s hard to find the time. On those days, I try to be kind to myself, I think about what I feel like doing, what I might look forward to. I might go for a walk with a friend, or try something new - the power of discovery is not to be underestimated.

The importance of slow exercise
Yoga teaches me quality over quantity - going at my own pace and the importance of breath. These are the tools that help in all activities in my daily life. I fell more in love with yoga last year. I met yoga teacher Pip Roberts while I was on holiday in the Maldives and she introduced me to yoga in a new and exciting way. She teaches ‘Strala Yoga’ (founded by Tara Stiles yogasphere.eu ) and I am such a fan. It focuses on natural movement and the body being in the right place for you at that time. I believe the food we eat, the amount and quality of sleep we get and the way we move are all linked. If one is out of balance for me, the other three become unbalanced too.
What I teach my kids
It’s so important to teach our kids about regular exercise. A great way to get them involved is through team sports, it teaches life skills like communication, commitment, being accountable and it’s fun. Having teenage boys, I’ve found when they have a sport to do they manage their time better, do better at school, circulates plenty of oxygen to the brain, and they let off steam.
My post-workout refuel
I love our Super Elixir Chocolate Nourishing Protein shaken with almond milk as a quick snack on the go. If I am at home and want something a little more substantial, I will blitz it with frozen banana and almond milk. It’s a premium, organic, clean plant protein with all nine essential amino acids, including acid leucine, which is necessary for muscle repair. It contains digestive enzymes to support a healthy metabolism, maintain an alkaline body and keep weight hormones in check. There’s no nasty whey, which can be laden with non-organic lactose and hormones, plus it contains fibre to keep you feeling full longer. It’s perfect as a nutrient rich snack, especially to beat the 3pm slump or as a healthy meal replacement.

Suspect captured in shooting at July 4 parade in Chicago's Highland Park suburb
Police on Monday captured a person of interest associated with a shooting that killed six people and wounded more than 36 when a man with a high-powered rifle opened fire from a rooftop at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, according to a local NBC television station.
Police on Monday captured a person of interest associated with a shooting that killed six people and wounded more than 36 when a man with a high-powered rifle opened fire from a rooftop at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, according to a local NBC television station. Reuters could not independently verify the NBC report.
Police had previously identified a person of interest in the shooting, 22-year-old Robert E Crimo III, who was from the area. They said he was driving a silver 2010 Honda Fit automobile. "He is considered armed and dangerous," sheriff's department spokesperson Christopher Covelli told journalists, adding that people should not approach him if they see him.
Officials said a rifle was recovered from the scene. More than 36 people were injured, mostly with gunshot wounds, said Jim Anthony, a spokesman for the NorthShore University HealthSystem. The 26 victims taken to the Highland Park hospital ranged in age from 8 to 85, said Brigham Temple, an emergency room doctor.
At least one of those killed was a Mexican national, a senior Mexican Foreign Ministry official said on Twitter. The shooting comes with gun violence fresh on the minds of many Americans, after a massacre on May 24 killed 19 school children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which followed a May 14 attack that killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
Children waving American flags, riding tricycles or enjoying a ride in a wagon pulled by adults froze as people in the crowd screamed while gun shots rang out, video on social media showed. One cellphone video, seen but not verified by Reuters, recorded what sounded to be about 30 rapid shots, a pause, and then another roughly 30 shots. Between the two bursts, a woman can be heard saying from the side of the parade route: "My God, what happened?"
He said the shooting took place from the rooftop of a business that the gunman reached via an alley ladder attached to the building that was not secure. Police did not have a motive for the shooting.
President Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill were "shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day." Biden said he had "surged federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter."
In his statement, Biden referred to bipartisan gun-reform legislation he signed recently but said much more needed to be done and added: "I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence." 'REALLY TRAUMATIZING'
Amarani Garcia, who was at the parade with her young daughter, told the local ABC affiliate she heard gunfire, then a pause for what she suspected was reloading, and then more shots. There were "people screaming and running. It was just really traumatizing," Garcia said. "I was very terrified. I hid with my daughter actually in a little store. It just makes me feel like we're not safe anymore."
Social media video showed a marching band suddenly breaking formation and running away, and other images of people leaving their belongings behind as they sought safety. "Everyone was running, hiding and screaming," said CBS 2 Digital Producer Elyssa Kaufman, who was at the scene.
A 36-year-old native of Highland Park who wanted to be identified only as Sara, told Reuters she had attended the annual parade most years since her childhood. "Not even five minutes after, very shortly after, the police and firetrucks part of the parade had gone by I heard ‘pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,’" she said, adding that she first thought they were muskets some times used in parades.
"I looked and there were no muskets. The popping didn’t stop ... again it went ‘pop, pop, pop, pop, pop’ and I turned and I said ‘those are gun shots, run!’” Highland Park's population is 30,000 and nearly 90% white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About a third of the population is Jewish, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The shooting is likely to rekindle the American debate about gun control, and whether stricter measure can prevent mass shootings that happen so frequently in the United States. After the Uvalde and Buffalo shootings, Congress last month passed its first major federal gun reform in three decades, providing federal funding to states that administer "red flag" laws intended to remove guns from people deemed dangerous.
It does not ban sales of assault-style rifles or high-capacity magazines, but does take some steps on background checks by allowing access to information on significant crimes committed by juveniles.

Police on Monday announced they had captured a person of interest associated with a shooting that killed six people and wounded more than 36 when a man with a high-powered rifle opened fire from a rooftop at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. Police confirmed they captured 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III, who was from the area. They said he was driving a silver 2010 Honda Fit automobile.
The shooting caused toddlers to abandon tricycles and parents to run for safety with their children, turning a civic display of patriotism into a scene of panicked mayhem. "It sounded like fireworks going off," said retired doctor Richard Kaufman who was standing across the street from where the gunman opened fire, adding that he heard about 200 shots.
"It was pandemonium. A stampede. Babies were flying in the air. People were diving for cover," he said. "People were covered in blood tripping over each other.” Police did not have a motive for the shooting.
More than 36 people were hurt, mostly by gunshots, said Jim Anthony, a spokesman for the NorthShore University HealthSystem. The 26 victims taken to the Highland Park hospital ranged in age from 8 to 85, said Brigham Temple, an emergency room doctor. The New York Times named one of the dead as 76-year-old Nicolas Toledo, who was in a wheelchair and had not wanted to attend the parade, but his disabilities required that he be around someone full time and his family had not wanted to miss the event.
"We were all in shock,” his granddaughter Xochil Toledo said. "We thought it was part of the parade." At least one of those killed was a Mexican national, a senior Mexican Foreign Ministry official said on Twitter.
The shooting comes with gun violence fresh on the minds of many Americans, after a massacre on May 24 killed 19 school children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which followed a May 14 attack that killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.

One cellphone video, seen but not verified by Reuters, recorded what sounded to be about 30 rapid shots, a pause, and then another roughly 30 shots. Between the two bursts, a woman can be heard saying from the side of the parade route: "My God, what happened?" The Lake County Sheriff's Office posted an online wanted poster of Crimo, showing a thin-faced bearded man with facial and neck tattoos. It said he weighed 120 pounds (54 kg) and was 5 feet 11 inches (1 meter 80 cms) tall.
Crimo appears to have published several self-made rap songs using the artist stage name "Awake The Rapper." A videos by Awake The Rapper shows a drawing of a stick figure holding a rifle in front of a another figure spread on the ground.
YouTube recently terminated an associated user account, after police named Crimo. The rap videos show a man looking like Crimo. A YouTube spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Police said the shooting took place from the rooftop of a business that the gunman reached via an alley ladder attached to the building that was not secure.
President Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill were "shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day." Biden said he had "surged federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter."

Suspect captured in shooting at July 4 parade in Chicago's Highland Park suburb

Police announced they had captured a suspect in a shooting on Monday that killed six people and wounded more than 36 when a man with a high-powered rifle opened fire from a rooftop at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. Police confirmed they captured 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III, who was from the area.
Police can be seen surrounding a car and then Crimo exiting the vehicle with his hands raised, according to a video by the Chicago affiliate of ABC News. Crimo lies flat on the ground before police take him into custody. Charges will be filed, Highland Park Police said.
The shooting caused toddlers to abandon tricycles and parents to run for safety with their children, turning a civic display of patriotism into a scene of panicked mayhem. "It sounded like fireworks going off," said retired doctor Richard Kaufman who was standing across the street from where the gunman opened fire, adding that he heard about 200 shots.

More than 36 people were hurt, mostly by gunshots, said Jim Anthony, a spokesman for the NorthShore University HealthSystem. The 26 victims taken to the Highland Park hospital ranged in age from 8 to 85, said Brigham Temple, an emergency room doctor. The New York Times named one of the dead as 76-year-old Nicolas Toledo, who was in a wheelchair and had not wanted to attend the parade, but his disabilities required that he be around someone full time and his family had not wanted to miss the event.
"We were all in shock,” his granddaughter Xochil Toledo said. "We thought it was part of the parade." At least one of those killed was a Mexican national, a senior Mexican Foreign Ministry official said on Twitter.
The shooting comes with gun violence fresh on the minds of many Americans, after a massacre on May 24 killed 19 school children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which followed a May 14 attack that killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. Children waving American flags, riding tricycles or enjoying a ride in a wagon pulled by adults froze as people in the crowd screamed while gun shots rang out, video on social media showed.
One cellphone video, seen but not verified by Reuters, recorded what sounded to be about 30 rapid shots, a pause, and then another roughly 30 shots. Between the two bursts, a woman can be heard saying from the side of the parade route: "My God, what happened?" The Lake County Sheriff's Office posted an online wanted poster of Crimo, showing a thin-faced bearded man with facial and neck tattoos. It said he weighed 120 pounds (54 kg) and was 5 feet 11 inches (1 meter 80 cms) tall.
Crimo appears to have published several self-made rap songs using the artist stage name "Awake The Rapper." A videos by Awake The Rapper shows a drawing of a stick figure holding a rifle in front of a another figure spread on the ground.
YouTube recently terminated an associated user account, after police named Crimo. The rap videos show a man looking like Crimo. A YouTube spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Police said the shooting took place from the rooftop of a business that the gunman reached via an alley ladder attached to the building that was not secure.
President Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill were "shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day." Biden said he had "surged federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter."
In his statement, Biden referred to bipartisan gun-reform legislation he signed recently but said much more needed to be done and added: "I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence." 'REALLY TRAUMATIZING'
Amarani Garcia, who was at the parade with her young daughter, told the local ABC affiliate she heard gunfire, then a pause for what she suspected was reloading, and then more shots. There were "people screaming and running. It was just really traumatizing," Garcia said. "I was very terrified. I hid with my daughter actually in a little store. It just makes me feel like we're not safe anymore."
Social media video showed a marching band suddenly breaking formation and running away, and other images of people leaving their belongings behind as they sought safety. "Everyone was running, hiding and screaming," said CBS 2 Digital Producer Elyssa Kaufman, who was at the scene.
A 36-year-old native of Highland Park who wanted to be identified only as Sara, told Reuters she had attended the annual parade most years since her childhood. "Not even five minutes after, very shortly after, the police and firetrucks part of the parade had gone by I heard ‘pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,’" she said, adding that she first thought they were muskets some times used in parades.
"I looked and there were no muskets. The popping didn’t stop ... again it went ‘pop, pop, pop, pop, pop’ and I turned and I said ‘those are gun shots, run!’” Highland Park's population is 30,000 and nearly 90% white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About a third of the population is Jewish, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The shooting is likely to rekindle the American debate about gun control, and whether stricter measure can prevent mass shootings that happen so frequently in the United States. After the Uvalde and Buffalo shootings, Congress last month passed its first major federal gun reform in three decades, providing federal funding to states that administer "red flag" laws intended to remove guns from people deemed dangerous.
It does not ban sales of assault-style rifles or high-capacity magazines, but does take some steps on background checks by allowing access to information on significant crimes committed by juveniles.

U.S. drug distributors prevail in $2.5 bln West Virginia opioid case
U.S. District Judge David Faber rejected efforts by the city of Huntington and Cabell County to force the country's three largest pharmaceutical distributors to pay $2.5 billion to address a drug crisis amid a flood of addictive pills in their region. But following a months-long trial that ended last year, Faber said the companies did not cause any oversupply of opioids, saying doctors' "good faith" prescribing decisions drove the volume of painkillers they shipped to pharmacies.
Major U.S. drug distributors McKesson Corp, AmerisourceBergen Corp and Cardinal Health Inc are not responsible for fueling an opioid epidemic in a part of West Virginia, a federal judge ruled on Monday. U.S. District Judge David Faber rejected efforts by the city of Huntington and Cabell County to force the country's three largest pharmaceutical distributors to pay $2.5 billion to address a drug crisis amid a flood of addictive pills in their region.
But following a months-long trial that ended last year, Faber said the companies did not cause any oversupply of opioids, saying doctors' "good faith" prescribing decisions drove the volume of painkillers they shipped to pharmacies. While the companies from 2006 to 2014 shipped 51.3 million opioid pills to retail pharmacies in the communities, "there is nothing unreasonable about distributing controlled substances to fulfill legally written prescriptions," Faber wrote.
"The opioid crisis has taken a considerable toll on the citizens of Cabell County and the city of Huntington," he wrote. "And while there is a natural tendency to assign blame in such cases, they must be decided not based on sympathy, but on the facts and the law." Steve Williams, Huntington's mayor, in a statement called the decision "a blow to our city and community." The city had sought to force the companies to help fund opioid treatment programs.
Cardinal Health said Faber's ruling recognized it only provided a "secure channel to deliver medications of all kinds." McKesson said it maintains strong programs to prevent the diversion of opioids to illicit channels. More than 3,300 lawsuits have been filed, largely by state and local governments, seeking to hold those and other companies responsible for an opioid abuse epidemic linked to more than 500,000 overdose deaths over the last two decades.
The distributors, along with drugmaker Johnson & Johnson (J&J), last year agreed to pay up to $26 billion to resolve the thousands of lawsuits brought against them by state and local governments around the country. But communities in hard-hit West Virginia opted against joining a national opioid settlement in favor of seeking a bigger recovery. Another trial pitting the distributors against West Virginia communities begins Tuesday in state court.
Monday's ruling adds to the mixed record for opioid cases that have gone to trial nationally, with courts in Oklahoma and California last year rejecting similar claims against drugmakers like J&J. A federal jury in November found pharmacy chain operators CVS Health Corp, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc and Walmart Inc liable in a case filed by two Ohio counties. A New York jury found Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd liable in December in a case by the state and two counties.

I was feeling pretty smug about my sub one hour 10k time until I met Lorena Puica. Her roster of extreme challenges and expeditions is quite literally Guinness World Record worthy (she’s just waiting on confirmation for several ‘firsts’ as it happens), and her transition from the fast and fierce world of finance to the domain of DNA profiling and natural health makes her quite the career role model too. I spoke to Lorena about some of the toughest tests tests she’s faced, leaving a successful job city job to start her health company, iamYiam , from scratch and what on earth keeps her going during those long hours pounding pavements...
Get The Gloss: Where did you grow up and what were your aspirations as a young girl?
Lorena Puica: I grew up in Arad, Romania. I was always eager to try new things and throughout my teens I enjoyed learning ballet, gymnastics, aerobics, tennis, martial arts & painting. Nevertheless, my secondary & high school years were mostly dedicated to studying maths, physics, chemistry and psychology. I was always fascinated about finding out how our minds work and why things in our ecosystems work as they do; understanding the formulas that make our world go on and on. My biggest dream was to become a physicist just like my dad!
GTG: You describe your first passion as microfinance- how did you first discover you were talented in the field of finance and strategy?
LP: At 17 my father passed away and that sent my family into quite a bit of turmoil. Those challenging times made me focus on what I needed to do next. Challenges have a beautiful way of enhancing focus and expanding our self-imposed limitations - and I love making the perceived impossible - possible. So I left home with only 300 euros in my pocket, moved to Timisoara and started studying finance.
Soon afterwards I received various scholarships one of which was an Erasmus study exchange scholarship in Germany. Studying international management in Deggendorf and doing research work for the director of the program led me to Microfinance. That passion further expanded as I worked on a strategy project with Allianz SE in Munich.
Microfinance is for me a beautiful tool to empower even the most disempowered to take action to change their circumstances. Microfinance provides very small loans, (especially to groups of women due to their very high repayment rates), to enable them to start their mini-businesses – which can be buying a cow and selling the milk, or buying a mobile phone and renting it to the rest of the village for one-off calls. This is a beautiful example of how even the smallest of effort can lead to a significant positive change.
GTG: How did you make the swap from the corporate business world to natural health? What inspired you to found IamYiam?
LP: About seven years ago I started having serious health issues that came to a head two years ago. At that point doctors in Germany as well as here in the UK recommended a course of action that I disagreed with due to its severity of implications for my overall wellbeing. I believe that it is rarely a good thing to take out an organ from our bodies, unless there is a high degree of certainty of that being the only way forward. That is how my journey with natural health started. Once again I wanted to transform the perceived impossible into possible. I started researching what the most effective courses of action for my condition were, and after a year and a half of engaging with everything from yoga, meditation, acupuncture, massage, Ayurvedic treatments, retreats across India and Morocco and extreme adventures, I achieved a balanced state of health.
Along that two year journey I realised that there is so much value in natural health and that there must be an easier way to access it and benefit from it.
The key turning point, however, was the 777 Challenge I participated in this past February to raise money for an educational charity. Running seven certified marathons on seven continents in ten days gave me more than enough time to meditate and reflect on ways in which I can bridge the two worlds of modern science and natural health. That is how iamYiam was born. When I returned from the challenge I felt that my mind was purely focused on finding ways to bring that vision to life sooner rather than later, and so I decided to leave investment management in July and incorporated iamYiam!
GTG: How does IamYiam work?
LP: Simply put, we have been called the Airbnb of Natural Health Experiences, meaning that we bring together quality practitioners of natural health (e.g. meditation, yoga, acupuncture, massage, psychosomatic therapies, retreats & corporate packages) with consumers of natural health (like me) and make it easy to book the best experience tailored exactly to individual needs and goals.
I believe that experiencing natural health should be simpler, so we apply modern science to ancient wisdom to find what works for each of our health objectives. Our goal is to simplify the journey to select an experience and book a practitioner as per individual health aim, for instance sleeping better, reducing anxiety, lowering stress, recovering from injury or just enhancing overall wellbeing. We have built an algorithm based on over 110,000 academic research papers and genetic markers to achieve this.
Our mission is to help you book the best natural health experiences tailored precisely to who you are and the goals you want to achieve. We do this by providing personalised health recommendations supported by scientific research and analysis, to help you select what is best for you.
With iamYiam you can have one of three journeys:
1. Browse the site, find what’s right for you, book an experience
2. Sign in, set your goals, get a biometrically balanced™ plan, book your experiences
3. Sign in, order the DNA profiling package to fine-tune your biometrically balanced™ plan, book your experiences
GTG: You never shy away from extreme challenges…where does your drive and motivation come from?
LP: For me, challenges are an incredible growth and learning experience. With every one that I engaged with, I have understood both something more about myself, about others and about my ecosystem. I believe understanding is the key to more enjoyable life experiences. It is very powerful to find meaning and to have a better understanding of our own abilities by going beyond limiting beliefs such as ‘I can’t do that’, ‘nobody in my family has done that’ or ‘I have severe arrhythmia so I should not be running a marathon … let alone seven’, or ‘I had asthma so I could never climb a mountain, let alone the tallest one in Africa’. I could go on and on with a list of limiting beliefs that could have stopped me, but they didn’t!
GTG: What has been your hardest challenge so far?
LP: From a physical endurance perspective, it was the 777 Challenge of seven marathons on seven continents in ten days, finishing in Antarctica.
However, personally, the toughest one was my first ever extreme adventure of walking 861 km in 19 days (about 46km per day, without any rest days). The toughest thing with challenges is the psychological journey that took me from ‘this is absolute madness’ to ‘why am I doing this?’ to ‘I could be sitting on a comfy sofa and sipping some lovely rose tea while reading instead of walking in the middle of nowhere and getting lost more often than I care to remember’...
I could go on and on about the internal questioning of ‘do I have it in me to finish this?’ and ‘why am I doing this?!’. The answer to the first question has been in over 70% of cases a resounding yes (the 30% of ‘nos’ just provided extra motivation). The answer to the second is my lifelong mission of understanding how the world works, how I function as a human being and, based on my own learnings, what I can do to help others smooth out their own journey through life.
GTG: How do you balance running marathons with setting up a new business?
LP: I feel the marathon challenge and the business challenge are but two sides of the same coin. Both require a grounded and tenacious mind and a healthy body.
I also find that running helps me gain clarity. Very often I go for a jog or a walk with two or three different issues lingering in my mind without an answer. After a few minutes moving in fresh air, all sorts of ideas spring to mind that prove very effective and simple. Kind of like a mini eureka moment!
GTG: What would be your advice to others taking on an extreme or daunting challenge or change?
LP: The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, and I genuinely mean that. I found that taking one step at a time builds both stamina and also a momentum of motivation. Having a plan that slowly builds up to the effort required for the big challenge has great positive effects both on physical ability and internal motivation and drive. With every little step you achieve, you are more motivated to make it to the next milestone.
GTG: How do you like to relax? What do you do in your down time?
LP: I tend to find relaxation in moments throughout the day, doing one minute meditations while I walk, eat or gaze out of the window and breathe. My weekdays are quite unpredictable, iamYiam being still in its “baby” phase. Therefore Sundays tend to be my “me days”. I love to wake up in the morning and while having my matcha green tea imagine how would the world be and how I would feel if for example I achieved all I planned for that year, I helped one person that week and brought a smile to their face or I found a way to make it easy for likeminded people to connect and exchange thoughts.
I also love reading philosophy, both modern and ancient and enjoy private yoga sessions tailored to my health goals. Walking meditations along the sea front and inviting friends over to subject them to my mediocre cooking skills are high points too. Every Sunday tends to be different and I love it that way!
GTG: Could you let us in on the next challenge you’re planning?
LP: I am planning a Vipassana silent meditation; ten days of no mobiles, no communication, no speaking, just introspection & meditation. This is definitely the scariest one of all for me!

Mexican bishops to put photos of dead priests in churches
Mexicos Roman Catholic Council of Bishops called Monday on parishes throughout the country to put photos of dead nuns and priests in their churches this Sunday and to hold Masses for all those killed in gang-fuelled violence. The call for special celebrations throughout July came after two Jesuit priests and a tour guide were murdered June 20.
Mexico's Roman Catholic Council of Bishops called Monday on parishes throughout the country to put photos of dead nuns and priests in their churches this Sunday and to hold Masses for all those killed in gang-fuelled violence. The call for special celebrations throughout July came after two Jesuit priests and a tour guide were murdered June 20. Authorities have identified a local gang boss reportedly affiliated with the Sinaloa cartel as the suspect in the those killings. He remains at large.
The council also called on the faithful to pray on July 31 for the conversion or redemption of the killers.
Meanwhile, another priest said he was beaten over the weekend in the violence-plagued western state of Michoacan. Rev Mateo Calvillo wrote in an open letter that men travelling in another vehicle cut off his car, forcing him to stop, and that one of them came around to his window and beat him savagely. The priest said he knew of no motive for the June 29 attack in the town of Querendaro, saying the man appeared irrational. On June 24, the Council of Bishops issued an open letter telling the government that “it is time to revise the security policies that are failing.” The two murdered priests — Rev Javier Campos, 79, and Rev Joaquín Mora, 80 — had spent much of their lives serving Indigenous peoples of the Sierra Tarahumara mountains. The Jesuits were shot to death in the small church in the town of Cerocahui.
The church's Catholic Multimedia Center said seven priests have been murdered under the current administration, which took office in December 2018, and at least two dozen in the six years of the previous president.

Analysis-Russia hails capture of Luhansk region, but big Ukraine battles lie ahead
Though Russia can claim a prize with its capture of Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region, it is far from Moscow's ambitious early war aims and does not deal Kyiv a decisive military blow. The Russian assault will now switch its focus to the rest of the Donbas industrial heartland, but Kyiv will find it easier to defend fortified positions in Donetsk region and the battles that will shape the war's course still lie ahead, military analysts said.
Argentina's farm leaders worry about new economy chief

A gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror, police said. The suspect remained on the loose hours later as authorities scoured the area and police surrounded a home listed as his possible address.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen had said that police had identified 22-year-old Robert E Crimo III as a person of interest and cautioned he should be considered armed and dangerous. Police declined to answer questions about how they identified Crimo. Authorities had described his car as a silver Honda Fit with an Illinois license plate DM 80653. The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
''It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Governor J B Pritzker said at a news conference.
“I'm furious because it does not have to be this way... while we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly — yes, weekly — American tradition.'' The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child's Chicago Cubs cap.
“There's no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. Police have not released details about the victims or wounded. Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn't have information on the sixth victim who was taken to a hospital and died there. One of those killed was a Mexican national, Roberto Velasco, Mexico's director for North American affairs, said on Twitter Monday. He said two other Mexicans were wounded. NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five patients were children.
Temple said 19 of them were treated and discharged. Others were transferred to other hospitals, while two patients, in stable condition, remained at the Highland Park hospital.
The shooter opened fire around 10.15 am, when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O'Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
“Very random, very intentional and a very sad day,” Covelli said.
President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day.” He said he had “surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time.” Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that showed at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists.
Police believe there was only one shooter.
Several nearby cities cancelled events including parades and fireworks, some of them noting that the Highland Park shooter was still at large. Evanston, Deerfield, Skokie, Waukegan and Glencoe cancelled events. The Chicago White Sox also announced on Twitter that a planned post-game fireworks show is cancelled due to the shooting.
More than 100 law enforcement officers were called to the parade scene or dispatched to find the suspected shooter.
More than a dozen police officers on Monday evening surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. A large armoured truck, marked “Police Rescue Vehicle,” occupied the middle of the road near the residence. Police blockaded roads leading to the home in a tree-lined neighbourhood near a golf course, allowing only select law enforcement cars through a tight outer perimeter.

With obesity at an all-time high, these early years can often prove pivotal in getting your kids into good habits and shaping their view of fitness for life.
Anyone who has children who prefer watching CBeebies or flicking through an iPad to going outside will know activity is not always top of their agenda, so we asked some of the country’s top experts for their tips regarding exercise for children, raising healthy kids and how to get them hooked on fitness as early as possible.
2 to 5-year-olds
Children’s Fitness Specialist and Get The Gloss Expert Lucy Miller explains that at this age, the emphasis should be on fun but with some level of structure included too. She recommends at least 30 minutes of adult-led activity a day with at least 60 minutes unstructured activity such as free play.
Key skills to develop
Hand-to-eye co-ordination and motor skills
Pathways in the brain
Muscle strength
Social boundaries
Confidence and self-esteem
As a rough guide, Lucy suggests that by age two, toddlers should be able to walk and run well, kick a ball and jump. By three, they should be able to balance briefly on one foot, kick a ball, throw and catch a ball and ride a tricycle. Parents should keep these objectives in mind when playing with children and encourage them to engage in games and sports to develop these abilities.
To make it fun, Lucy recommends obstacle courses with cushions or playing outside with balls, varying the game each time to keep it interesting. A game of Simon Says develops communication and concentration skills, confidence and co-ordination as they listen and follow instructions.
If you’re looking for classes, Lucy recommends checking out www.fitkid.co.uk , which offers classes and events aimed at encouraging young children to get into exercise. Gymboree is also a highly effective and fun way to engage children as it combines music, movement and imagination in an active environment. Virgin Active and David Lloyd sports centres have crèches and children’s facilities too.
In London, Fitness and Nutrition Expert James Osborn recommends Playball in Wimbledon , which offers a variety of ball-focused activities for various age groups from 2-8 yrs old aimed at developing co-ordination and motor skills.

6 to 7-year-olds
Lucy recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise a day: brisk walking, running, cycling or swimming. This should be combined with gymnastics, swimming or running at least three days a week to build bone density.
Key skills to develop
Kicking, throwing, catching, jumping
Hand-eye co-ordination
Balance
Understanding and following rules
As they’re older and can concentrate for longer, parents can give them a little more responsibility and incorporate imaginative and creative approaches towards fitness. “I usually do some of the more regular stretches, tell them what they are called and what muscle they are stretching and then ask them to make up a new way of stretching that muscle in a safe way. They can be very creative! They also respond well to responsibility, so I will pick a game such as Follow The Leader and get them to take it in turns to be the leader – or the commander!” she says.
Encourage them to take part in relays and circuits. Again, nothing too regimented and there needs to be an element of fun. Steve Mellor , Head of Personal Training and Nutrition at Freedom2Train says: “Extra-curricular activities are key as they lay good foundations for future sporting ability, allowing children to mature and further social and physical development.” James Osborn points out: “At this age, children have a better understanding of their body and spatial awareness and can do more structured training, such as kicking a ball into a goal.” He adds: “The emphasis is more on how to kick a ball and developing ability. It’s best that they pick up these skills earlier rather than later, otherwise they’ll be playing catch-up.”
Lucy recommends football, mini-rugby or gymnastics. www.fitforsport.co.uk provides great information on after-school clubs and activities. Also check out www.nhs.uk/Change4Life for more fitness inspiration.
Steve also recommends Little Foxes Club . This sports coaching club in London provides classes for pre-toddlers and school-age children, tailored to particular age bands.

8 to 10-year-olds
It’s important to capitalise on the abilities they've developed so far.
Key skills to develop
Fundamental movements and overall motor skills such as co-ordination and speed
Learning skills. Children are very receptive at this age, they will pick up skills (called stem skills) that can be used into adulthood
Lucy recommends children aim to do at least 60 minutes of exercise involving high-intensity bursts of running and jumping. They respond well to organised play at this stage. However, it is still important to ensure activities are fun so that they remain engaged. It’s best to strike a balance between activities that are enjoyable but progressively difficult, such as clubs and the introduction of jumping over obstacles and reaction drills such as throwing and catching when moving. Lucy also recommends body-weight exercises such as press-ups at about age 10. Sounds tough, but the key is to make it as fun as possible. “I always do body-weight exercises, such as press-ups or sit-ups, but make these fun by doing as many reps as you can in 30 seconds or including them in fun circuit sessions.”
Steve Mellor also recommends trying summer camps and other forms of structured training so that your kids can identify sports they really enjoy. Consult your local council and your children’s school to see what’s going on in your area. Lucy also suggests parkrun – 5k fun runs that take place every Saturday in local parks all over the UK. Parents will be thrilled to hear that they can join in too(!) as can the family dog. And as an added bonus, cakes and drinks are provided at the end.

Ukraine and Russia: What you need to know right now
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his armed forces were undeterred in their efforts to "break" Moscow's will to pursue the nearly five-month war. * During a brief televised meeting with his defence minister, President Vladimir Putin congratulated Russian forces on their "victories in the Luhansk direction".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his armed forces were undeterred in their efforts to "break" Moscow's will to pursue the nearly five-month war. Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed his military's victory in the battle of Luhansk. FIGHTING
* Zelenskiy, in his nightly video message, said there had been no significant changes on the battlefield in the past 24 hours and that Ukrainian forces were repelling and destroying Russia's offensive capabilities on a daily basis. "We need to break them. It is a difficult task. It requires time and superhuman efforts. But we have no alternative". * During a brief televised meeting with his defence minister, President Vladimir Putin congratulated Russian forces on their "victories in the Luhansk direction". Those who participated in the combat should "absolutely rest and recover their military preparedness", while other units continue fighting in other areas, he said.
* Vadym Lyakh, the mayor of Sloviansk, said Russian forces were already shelling the eastern city with artillery. "It's now important to evacuate as many people as possible," he told Ukraine's Espreso TV. * Russia's Defence Ministry said it had carried out attacks on Ukrainian command posts and munitions depots in several locations in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.
* The Ukrainian flag has been delivered by helicopter to Snake Island in the Black Sea after Russian forces withdrew from the strategic outpost last week, and it will be raised as soon as Ukrainian troops arrive, Ukraine's military said. * Reuters could not independently verify the battlefield accounts.
DIPLOMACY AND ECONOMY * Russian gas producer Gazprom has proposed expanding its rouble-for-gas scheme for pipeline gas to include liquefied natural gas, the Interfax news agency quoted a senior manager as saying on Monday.
* Britain said it would on Tuesday introduce new economic, trade and transport sanctions on Belarus over its support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and also sanctioned six Russians it said were spreading disinformation. * Ukraine needs $750 billion for a recovery plan, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal told a Ukraine Recovery Conference hosted by Switzerland.
* Putin will not congratulate his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden on Monday's Independence Day because of Washington's "unfriendly" actions towards Moscow, the Kremlin said. * France's Schneider Electric SE has agreed to sell its Russian unit to the local leadership team, it said on Monday, joining a wave of companies divesting their Russian businesses.
QUOTES * We believe that the key source of recovery should be the confiscated assets of Russia and Russian oligarchs. The Russian authorities unleashed this bloody war. They caused this massive destruction and they should be held accountable for it," - Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal.

Australia floods worsen as thousands more Sydney residents evacuate
Torrential rains kept battering Australia's east coast on Tuesday, intensifying the floods crisis in Sydney as thousands more residents were ordered to leave their homes overnight after rivers swiftly rose past danger levels. About 50,000 residents in New South Wales, the bulk in Sydney's western suburbs, have been told to either evacuate or warned they might receive evacuation orders, up from Monday's 30,000, state Emergency Management Minister Steph Cooke said.
Torrential rains kept battering Australia's east coast on Tuesday, intensifying the floods crisis in Sydney as thousands more residents were ordered to leave their homes overnight after rivers swiftly rose past danger levels.
About 50,000 residents in New South Wales, the bulk in Sydney's western suburbs, have been told to either evacuate or warned they might receive evacuation orders, up from Monday's 30,000, state Emergency Management Minister Steph Cooke said. An intense low-pressure system off Australia's east coast brought heavy rains with several places receiving about a month's worth since Saturday.
The latest wild storm cell is likely to ease in Sydney on Tuesday, Cooke told local television, but the risk of flooding could remain through the week as most river catchments were already near full capacity even before the latest storm. "We're not out of the woods yet," Cooke said.
The federal government late on Monday declared the floods a natural disaster, helping flood-hit residents receive emergency funding support. Emergency crews will continue their rescue operation on Tuesday to tow a bulk carrier ship that lost power off the coast of Sydney after tow lines broke in severe weather, officials said.
Major flooding is occurring at Windsor in Sydney's west, which is going through its third flood this year, with current water levels higher than seen in the deluge early this year, the weather bureau said. Footage on social media showed submerged roads and bridges, while emergency crews rescued stranded people from partially-submerged vehicles that became stuck in rising waters.
Nigel Myron, a Windsor resident, said he has kept an inflatable boat ready if he had to evacuate though he is looking to move back to his place once waters recede. "At the end of the day, what can you do? It is what it is and we dust ourselves off from the ashes and rebuild after the floods have come and gone," Myron told ABC television.

EXCLUSIVE-Wuxi Biologics takes step to getting off U.S. 'unverified' trade list
Wuxi Biologics, a Chinese company that makes ingredients for AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, may be a step closer to being taken off a U.S. trade list that it landed on five months ago, wiping HK$77 billion($9.9 billion) off its market value. Chinese authorities allowed a U.S. export control officer to conduct inspections of at least one company in the city of Wuxi last week, a U.S. Commerce Department official said.
Wuxi Biologics, a Chinese company that makes ingredients for AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, may be a step closer to being taken off a U.S. trade list that it landed on five months ago, wiping HK$77 billion($9.9 billion) off its market value.
Chinese authorities allowed a U.S. export control officer to conduct inspections of at least one company in the city of Wuxi last week, a U.S. Commerce Department official said. The official declined to identify the company or companies involved, but a person familiar with the matter told Reuters a check was conducted last week at Wuxi Biologics.
If the U.S. deems the check favorable, it could be removed from the list. The company did not respond to requests for comment.
Wuxi Biologics units in Wuxi and Shanghai were among 33 entities added to the U.S. Commerce Department's "Unverified List" in February. The company was one of only two added to the list with addresses in Wuxi. The United States placed the entities on the list because it could not conduct on-site inspections to verify information related to them and U.S. items shipped to them.
The resumption of inspections is seen by the United States as a positive development amid increased tensions with China over a range of issues, including the U.S. blocking of imports linked to forced labor in China and the possible delisting of Chinese companies that don't meet audit requirements. Last week, there also were renewed threats to shut down SMIC, China's top chipmaker, if it is found to be supplying Russia in violation of U.S. export controls.
"I do have some good news," the Commerce Department official, who could not be identified publicly, told a conference on export controls in Washington on Thursday. "We were able to get some end-use check movement this week in Wuxi."
The official added that hopefully a U.S. export control officer would be able to go into another province, Anhui, in the coming weeks, though that could be delayed by fresh COVID-19 outbreaks. U.S. inspections of Chinese companies require approval and scheduling by China's commerce ministry, the U.S. official said.
China's zero tolerance COVID-19 protocols account for most of the delay over the last couple of years, though there were some opportunities to have conducted checks, the official said. "Covid aside, it's really dependent on them to agree to schedule the pending end-use checks that we have," the official said.
China's commerce ministry did not respond to a request for comment. In February, U.S. Assistant Commerce Secretary Matthew Axelod said the additions to the list "signal to the PRC government the importance of their cooperation in scheduling end-use checks."
But China's Ministry of Commerce slammed the development and said Washington should correct its "wrongdoings," return to the track of cooperation and contribute more to the global economic recovery. During an investor day on June 16, Wuxi Biologics said that it hoped to see the "unverified list" issue resolved for at least one of its units by September, and for the other by the end of the year.
The company said it had initially expected an inspection in April, which was disrupted by COVID-19. It said it had not seen a significant impact on actual operations from being added to the list. U.S. exporters can engage with parties on the unverified list, but are required to conduct additional due diligence before they can ship goods to them, and may need to apply for more licenses.

Getting out of your comfort zone is essential in order to get results from any given workout, but pushing the boundaries needn’t be punishing across the board. From booking into classes that give you a buzz to ensuring that you’re wearing the most flattering, functional and well fitting fitness wear possible, there’s a lot that you can do to lighten the load and actually actively enjoy training. Here are just a few ideas to make breaking a sweat practically breezy…
Just turn up
Laying down logistics is half of the battle when it comes to establishing yourself as a regular exerciser. Setting aside a dedicated workout window is key to making fitness come easy; if you pen in a non-negotiable timeframe in which to get active, you’ll relieve yourself not only of stressful day-by-day scheduling (and resultant guilt when fitness drills go down the drain), but also the headspace taken up by contemplating the challenge ahead. The more you do it, the less mentally and physically daunting your chosen class or circuit will become, and the quicker you’ll advance, both from a muscle tone and mindset point of view. Nike Master Trainer and global yoga ambassador Leah Kim assures us that this is the case:
“We are creatures of habit, so any way that you can support that natural human tendency, the easier it will be to stick with your workouts. It doesn’t have to be the same time and same place every time, but maybe you take your yoga classes at the same studio on certain days, find one spin teacher you love whose class you feel motivated to take, or make Saturday mornings about going for a run with a friend. If you do prefer the consistency of same time and same place, go for that! I think it’s helpful to have some kind of plan for the week, and do your best to stick to that plan (but also know that life happens and don’t worry if you end up having to miss or reschedule things here and there!).”
You’ll soon become a ‘regular’ at your chosen gym, studio or local park, and bunking off will feel a bit wrong. Plus, people will ask you where you’ve been, which could be awkward if the answer is ‘not prioritising my wellbeing’. Harsh but true. Strict cancellation policies help if you’re prone to shirking a workout at the last minute. If you can’t make a session every now and again that’s not a problem, but check your excuses first.
Remix your routine
Having said to schedule in habitual sweat sessions, what you do during said time slots needn’t be limited. Restrictive routines are likely to not only get boring, thus melting away your motivation, but repetitive activity could stall your physical progress and even lead to injury. If there’s an activity you adore by all means stick with it, but varying your approach will stimulate both your mind and body, accelerating your enthusiasm as well as your pace and proficiency. Whether it’s more yoga to stretch out your hamstrings, interval training at the gym because it’s raining or swinging a kettlebell just to see how it feels, putting yourself out there will increase your drive, self-esteem and strength. Feel the fear, do it anyway and feel free- just take it from Leah:
“I know that it can feel intimidating sometimes to go to the gym or to a class, and to feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. Step up to these kinds of moments, because they’re the ones that offer you the most opportunity for growth and learning. I just spent a week with some of the best trainers in the world, and there was not one single person who didn’t admit to struggling sometimes.”
“One of the things we did together was daily workouts (and none of it was yoga). I was constantly intimidated by how strong and fast and all around badass they all are. Being a yogi, I don’t have the kind of training background they do. Sure, I do non-yoga workouts regularly and love trying different things, but compared to these guys in the context of training, I am the turtle, or the runt of the litter!”
“Heading into all the workouts we had together, I could not have felt more out of place, but I showed up and did my best. I kept a positive, lighthearted attitude, and leaned into the discomfort and unfamiliarity.”
“I didn’t worry too much about being the last one to finish a drill or about looking like I didn’t know what I was doing, and the support I got from everyone else was amazing. Because I was out there earnestly doing my thing, they in turn rooted me on, which then gave me a bit more confidence and energy to keep going. Aa a result I felt pretty damn good and free after completing each workout! None of which I would have experienced had I not shown up. So make sure to step out of your comfort zone every now and again - it might be more freeing than you expect.”

Free yourself from comparisons
It’s said that ‘comparison is the thief of joy’, and while a little bit of healthy rivalry can be motivating, making yourself feel rubbish for the things you haven’t achieved, rather than celebrating the things that you have, is a sure fire way to making fitness grueling rather than liberating. If you’re not finding a workout to be a walk in the park, you won’t be the only one.
Even the pros struggle at times, but checking in with ourselves rather than where others are at is essential to making fitness positive and galvanizing, as Leah confirms:
“Sure, working out can LOOK easy. It’s not actually easy for any of us, at least not all the time. We all have our days of low energy, low mood, or low motivation. Sometimes we choose to take it easy on ourselves and take rest - it’s probably something our body is really craving and needs. Sometimes we choose to force ourselves to get up and go. We lean on each other for support, and we just keep trying to do our best and stay authentic to what’s true and right for us. I think it’s also important to remember that someone else’s journey is their own, not ours, so we shouldn’t compare ourselves to anyone else. It’s great to see others as inspirations, but it’s infinitely more important to stay connected to what’s true for ourselves.”
Loosen your limbs
If you feel tight, stiff and tired, getting going can be all the more tough. Having some invigorating moves up your sleeve to dissolve stress and strain and prepare you for what lies ahead will make you feel miles better and enthused to take on all manner of challenges. Follow Leah’s tips for getting loose:
“Think mobility. Mobilizing your entire body, building core temperature, loosening tension, and basically just getting things moving. Stretching or yoga is a great way to start a workout, or even just your day.”
“Any amount of time you can set aside for this will be beneficial, but it’s ideal if you can get in at least 20 minutes. Start with a couple minutes of deep breathing and setting your focus. Then do a few stretches on your back, sitting up, and then standing up. You can do any stretches that you already know and enjoy. Perhaps try Reclined Pigeon (sometimes called ‘4-sign stretch’) and Reclined Twist on your back, and then Butterfly Pose and Cat Cow, and finish off with Standing Forward Fold and Side Bends. Anything to get your blood and energy flowing.”
Revise your lifestyle
Results aren’t supposed to come easy, but if they’re not coming at all, frustration and reticence can set in. Instead of bailing, reconsider your concept of accomplishment. Rather than focussing on fitting into a particular dress for now, call to mind alternative positive changes that exercise has triggered, whether it’s improved sleep patterns, increased alertness at work, a greater feeling of relaxation at home or better health in general. Boosting even one element of your life for the better is an impressive indicator of how far you’ve come, and if you haven’t started working out yet, how far you could go. Start a diary of positive changes, note them as you go along and the exercise angst should become significantly lighter, even if the weights are getting heavier.
Shaping your day around your wellbeing is also important as far as making fitness feel natural goes. Firstly, if you really detest a particular activity, sport or class, don’t do it. Seek out alternatives that fire you up, and progress from there. Leah reveals that she didn’t follow the herd when devising her initial fitness strategy, and breaking away from situations that didn’t serve her has not only made her happier and more free to pursue her personal goals, but has also been of huge benefit to her career and health as a whole:
“When I first became really obsessed with yoga, I revolved my life around it. At the beginning of each week, I decided which classes I would be taking on each day, and planned the rest accordingly. I went to bed early if I was going to take an early class the next morning and I changed my eating habits so I would feel good in my body to practice. I even changed my social circles and stopped spending as much time with people who weren’t supportive of these new lifestyle choices.”
“Instead, it just made more sense to spend time with people who also wanted to take yoga classes and eat healthy foods. I realise all this is pretty extreme, and I certainly don’t think it’s necessary to approach a new routine with such intensity, but I do think that everything is connected, and the healthier your choices are outside of your workouts, the more feasible and enjoyable those workouts will be. Then they just become part of your way of life.”
Fashion a change
Another hook to incorporate fitness seamlessly into your lifestyle is to dress like you mean business. Getting into the right gear in the first place will make you well equipped for whatever trainer, app or gym floor throws at you, and make movement all the more intuitive. Don’t underestimate the power of a comfy, easygoing fitness wardrobe when it comes to reaching your potential. This is a lesson that Leah has learned the hard way:
“I definitely think that kit and clothing is an important part of it all. You have to feel good in what you’re wearing. You don’t want your clothes to be a source of distraction or discomfort.”
“I made a rookie error yesterday. I wore a new top to a hot yoga class. It was an extremely humid day in NYC, so the hot class was even hotter than normal. The top was too thick, too baggy, and too long. It looked super cute, but was functionally all wrong for what I was doing. I kept trying to tie it, tuck it in, and get it out of my face. Your clothing should support what you’re doing, not get in the way of it. So definitely take time to find clothes that you love wearing and that you don’t have to think about when you’re working out.”
“Gear and equipment depend on what workouts you’re doing. For me, an amazing yoga mat is absolutely essential. I love having my own mat, even if it means I have to lug it around the city. If it’s really not an option on a given day, I at least have a skidless mat towel with me. I feel better knowing I’m putting my face and body on something that is clean and just mine. It also makes me feel legit to have proper kit and equipment.”

Finding kit that’s both stylish and feels like a second-skin can make all the difference, but it’s often an elusive search. If you’re in need of fresh ideas in the fitness wear department, see our edit of the ultimate free-moving apparel below.
Nike Free Trainers , from £90
Classes, gym drills and lifting weights will feel all the more natural and fluid if you’re wearing the right shoes for the job. A purpose designed training shoe is essential for staying on your toes, and the Nike Free Transform Flyknit offers stability and support that’s as dynamic and adaptive as your own movement. Whether it’s quick side to side motion or lockdown as you do barbell reps, this flexible yet durable training shoe will not only see you through a diverse scope of activities, but the sock-like fit will mean that you barely notice it’s there. Your feet have quite literally never been so free.
If shaky ankles prevent you from getting to 100% during training sessions, opt for the equally liberating Nike Free TR6 Training Shoe . Moulded ankle foam will keep you steady, but the feel is still light as a feather.
Nike Mesh Tank Top , £25
Being naked is obviously as free and easy as it gets, but your local leisure centre staff are unlikely to approve. For unfettered movement and consistent ventilation, go for the next best thing and get yourself a mesh top. Big in the 80s, these airy fabrics keep you cool while keeping you covered, allowing you to flash a modish sports bra while still preserving your modesty. Nike’s racerback model slips on like a dream and will stay light and dry as you work up a sweat.
Nike Pro Hypercool Frequency Training Capris , £40
The clue’s in the name; these streamlined gym leggings will help you to keep your cool as you step up the intensity. Mesh panels, light fabric and a form fitting cut all contribute to their cooling capacities, while sweat-wicking dri-FIT technology helps sweat to evaporate from your skin in double quick time. The next best thing to air conditioning in our book, and a wise summer workout investment (slip them under other sportswear during the winter months).
Nike Pro Classic Padded Frequency Sports Bra , £33
The sister bra to the Frequency Capris, this sweat zapping supporter offers the most comfortable compression ‘staying power’ we’ve come across. Whether you’re jumping, squatting or skipping, you’re good. Flat seams prevent rubbing, and removable padding adds soft enhancement should you desire it.
Nike Pro Indy Sports Bra , £28
If you’re after light, unrestricted support for weightlifting, yoga and other low impact activities, the Indy’s here for you. Compression cups, dri-FIT fabric and sleek, adjustable straps work hard to support you as you workout, but we promise you’ll barely notice. You know that ‘ahhh’ feeling of taking your bra off at the end of the day? This snug, mesh backed bra is almost there.
Nike Elite No-Show Socks , £10
When it comes to fitness wear that make you feel free, it doesn’t get better than breathable, practically invisible kit. Step in the No-Show Sock; officially Nike’s lightest sock ever. Sweat wicking, blister resistant and with a flat toe to resist bagging and irritation, this high spec sock is the perfect partner for your Nike Free Trainers.
Nike Gym Vintage Full-Zip , £50
For post training chills, cover-ups don’t come comfier than this warm yet light zip-up. An adjustable hood and loose arms allow you to tailor the fit to your liking and move freely as you warm down.
The new Nike Free Transform Flyknit trainers are £125 and are available to buy online here and the new Nike Free TR 6 training shoes are £90 and are available to buy online here .

Singapore President Halimah Yacob, Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin, and Minister Edwin Tong have tested positive for COVID-19. Madam Halimah, 67, said in a Facebook post on Monday, “Just tested positive for Covid-19 with mild flu-like symptoms. Thankfully, I have been vaccinated and boosted. I hope to recover soon and am sorry to have to miss the events this week.” Tan, 53, also, in a post on Monday, said that he had tested positive for COVID-19, reported The Straits Times.
Tan took an antigen rapid test before Monday’s parliamentary sitting and it came back positive, which means he will miss both days of the current Parliament sitting.
Writing in his post, Speaker Tan said, “Hope the symptoms would be mild. Continue to remain vigilant. Vaccination helps so do get the boosters when it’s your turn to do so.” It was also revealed in Monday’s Parliament sitting that Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Tong, 52, too was down with COVID-19.
Over the last 28 days, Singapore has reported 140,965 COVID infections.
To date, 1,473,180 infections and 1,419 COVID-linked deaths have been reported in the country since the outbreak of the infectious disease in 2019.

There comes a moment in every girl’s life when she realises that being weak and feeble and not being able to open things, pick up things or carry things to the car is no longer sweet, or endearing, or feminine; in fact it is just not very cool.
Being puffed out on a walk? Not able to swim any distance? Saying “that’s better” every time you sit down? None of these things are terribly attractive.
In fact a while ago, I remember going to stay with a girlfriend of mine in New York (Candace Bushnell of Sex and the City fame since you ask; I know you didn’t, but I am throwing it in anyway, because it is relevant) who was super, super skinny and very, very glamorous. (You see, relevant!) Anyway, she was doing a reading at a Barnes and Noble bookstore when one of her many legions of fans asked her what shoes she was wearing. And so my friend tried to lift her leg off the ground to show the assembled throng. Only she barely manage to get her skinny little foot off the floor.
“Oh gawd, sorry,” she drawled at the time. “I am just not very strong. Manolos, did you see?” She managed to blurt out before her leg collapsed down to the ground. Afterwards, she confessed she had been a little shocked at how useless and withered she was. Fast-forward a few years, and now my friend has thighs of steel, a core of rock and buns you can crack walnuts with. She rides horses every day, has discovered Pilates, and has probably lengthened her life by another twenty years which is good news for all fans of her super sharp, extremely witty, finely honed prose!
So suddenly when I found myself unable to get off the sofa the other day without making a lot of noise, or preferring to take the lift rather than the stairs, or worst of all unable to execute the Beyoncé squat, sway signature move to “All the Single Ladies” at a recent Christmas party without the need of leverage from a nearby armchair, I had a thought: What would the Bushnell do? The Bushnell would sort it, because sorting is what the Bushnell does.
Enter: Joslyn Thompson Rule from One Personal Training who, even at 8 months pregnant, looks like she’s just had a spot of lunch. Now Joslyn has many strings to her bow, obviously, but one of which is she’s developed a strength programme using High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) . Strength and muscle mass are, apparently, the top two biomarkers of health and longevity and being a chain-smoking, vodka-swilling, squat-shy, jogging-shirker of the highest order, I obviously, clearly, have neither.
Weirdly, in the days of yore, when Christ was alive, mint Aero was the coolest sweet and people called each other ‘thee’ and ‘thou,’ I was super-sporty. I played in all the school teams; I was captain of gymnastics and could nail an arab-spring flick-flack without buggering up my root perm. Then I discovered the two things that napalm all female sporting talent – boys and booze – and I never so much as broke a sweat again.
MORE GLOSS: 9 HIIT workouts to get you fitter, faster
Except now I have to. As my bone density nose-dives to that of a matchstick – it is now or never. So whatever Joslyn asks of me, I am determined to execute with good grace.
And weirdly, she asks the oddest things. She starts with inchworms to warm up the body and mobilise the joints. They involve curling down and up the body and crawling along the floor in a slightly simian fashion. Next there were single squats, slowly followed by full squats, and a Plank Row, which stabilises the shoulders and the belly while working on the upper and lower back.
For someone so traumatised by the idea of the cross country run that I have been known to cry when faced with the mere concept of jogging, all Joslyn’s moves were manageable and not so repetitive that all you can hear as you fall asleep is someone barking up to ten in your left ear. We used the floor, a chair and the rug. So no need for any expensive retail. In fact, my first session was delightful and appeared to be easy.
And the high intensity bonus? When done correctly, using the proper muscles, it will carrying on working you out long after you’ve left the gym and are sitting in a café shovelling down a donut (joke! I don’t even know what those things look like!).
Did I say my first session was easy? What a mistake! Deceptively easy, stealth easy – because the very next day I couldn’t walk, laugh, eat my lunch, move, get in to the car, out of the car, open a bottle of wine. My goodness it was painful. But good pain. Productive pain. The pain of, fingers crossed, progress. And next week there’s more!

Er, Mummy?
I know you're an international supermodel, and Bugaboo probably paid you enough money for this job to keep me in Baby Dior until I leave nursery, but can we PLEASE go home now? You’re kind of embarrassing me. I mean, where did you even get that thing, was Borat having a clear-out?
I do feel for you having to leave the house semi-naked, because I find it really hard to get my clothes on by myself too, but people are starting to look at us funny. You do realise the only marathon the other mummies are preparing for is a box-set marathon, because they’ve run out of things to say to their partners that won’t start an argument, and they can’t actually go out of an evening for the next 16-18 years?
Why can’t you be more like the other kids' mums, the ones who actually look (and dress) like they grew child in their abdomen for nine months, had it cut out of them and then wandered around the house for at least a year on no sleep going WHERE IS THE SUGAR AND THE CAFFEINE, GIVE THEM TO ME NOW. I mean, I’d bet that bikini top you're wearing wouldn't cover even one quarter of one average post-breastfeeding boob. My friend Frankincense from nursery told me her mum's are so saggy that none of her old bras fit any more, I think she basically rolls them up around a pencil or something and gaffer tapes them into place.
MORE GLOSS: The 10 things they don't tell you about being pregnant
And those quotes you gave to the interviewer lady aren’t going to help. “I couldn’t wait to get back to my workouts after giving birth”? Are you serious? If we’re going to be normal, you need to be a bit more, like, “After giving birth I couldn’t wait to get back to 45% proof alcohol” or “After giving birth I couldn’t wait to sit down without wincing”.
Actually, I think I see Frankie's mum over there... yeah I know she smiled and waved like she supports your feminist right to wear whatever you want while you prance about with our new designer buggy, but trust me, she hates you. I mean, you're not even sweating. Frankie reckons her mum can only wear black leggings if she goes out running, in case she pees herself. Every time she comes back she’s all like, “Where was this in the baby manual?” and Frankie’s like, “Mum, just get some pull-ups, NBD”.
I know what you’re thinking, right, it’s weird they even let someone that normal into our New York celebrity designer nursery, but when Frankincense’s mum put her name down, she was still this big like record company executive or something. It wasn’t until she turned up with Frankie and 18 months of root regrowth that they realised she - WHOA, bit of warning on the speedbumps, maybe? I nearly lost my Tommee Tippee Active Cup.
I mean, it’s cool that you’re role modelling a healthy lifestyle to me right now, but I do not need the kind of s*** that Apple Paltrow Martin has grown up with, you know what I mean? Where the kids at school all know that you don’t get to watch TV because you have to get an ancient Greek lesson from your nanny, before the whole family gets together to like pick avocados and sing hymns or something.
MORE GLOSS: The 10 biggest lies mums tell ourselves
Mum. MUM. Are you even listening to me? This run was fun when we started, but now my beef Ella's Kitchen pouch is repeating on me from all the bouncing around. Also, I'm starting to get hat hair, which is kind of a bummer when a professional hairstylist totally went to town on my two-year-old barnet to get maximum cute factor out of this shoot.
Can’t we just turn back? I swear if you do, I’ll like, potty train myself or something. I’ll go a whole hour without whining, hitting you or shouting “no”. Cmon… I’ll let you brush my teeth… no, not the back ones, I’m not insane, I mean I’ll let you put a toothbrush in my mouth for more than a second without screaming, wriggling or kicking you.
Deal? Oh thank God. In The Night Garden is about to start on BBC World and Frankincense reckons that Iggle Piggle is about to find out that Makka Pakka and Upsy Daisy used to have a thing. I know, right? He’s not the only upsy one! Banter…

In a recent interview with Net-A-Porter’s digital magazine THE EDIT , actress, entrepreneur and all-round vision of wholesomeness (even if she's mocked for it) Gwyneth Paltrow spoke rather candidly on many topics, but be in no doubt that if you’ve giving her flak about Goop , she’s on to you:
“It’s got a few layers to it. People were fine with me as an actress, but with Goop it was like, ‘Stay in your lane.’ Women in general get a lot of pushback, especially if you’re successful and attractive... I’m not saying I’m attractive. I mean when you’re considered attractive.”
Now that that’s out of the way, the 44-year-old doesn’t have a lot of time for restrictive cleanses either, and if you’re imagining that she’s up at the crack of dawn to workout on her summer hols, the answer’s a big fat no:
“I can’t be on a cleanse all the time…I did one for seven weeks last year and it was awful. At home, I loosen the reins: a glass of wine, maybe a baguette dripping in cheese, some fries. […] On vacation, I eat what I want – and there’s no exercising, either.”
What we’re trying to say is that Gwyneth isn’t quite what you’d imagine considering the caricatured media portrayals of her as a vagina-steaming, brown rice guzzling soccer mom. Sure, Gwyneth’s wellness website Goop has put some wacky ideas out there, but she’s apparently not bothered by backlash, as she reveals on THAT topic of 'conscious uncoupling':
“People are coming around. I know it’s a dorky term, but it’s very worthwhile. I’m always the person who gets s*** at first, but then later people say, ‘Hey, maybe that’s a good idea.’ I don’t mind.”
As it happens, Paltrow seems adept at turning a bad situation into a learning experience rather than all out disaster, as her account of her divorce from Coldplay singer Chris Martin testifies:
“I wanted to turn my divorce into a positive. What if I didn’t blame the other person for anything, and held myself 100% accountable? What if I checked my own s*** at the door and put my children first? And reminded myself about the things about my ex-husband that I love, and fostered the friendship? What I put myself through to get there was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
Not that Gwyneth doesn’t count her blessings, but when life give her lemons, it’s fair to say that she does her best to make margaritas:
“I’ve had an extraordinary life, where things have happened in a huge way – huge success, huge joy, huge pain, huge loss. And the reason I feel happy today is because I’ve milked the f*** out of every opportunity. I haven’t made one mistake that I haven’t used as a stepping stone to get somewhere else. I’m ruthless when it comes to using the hard things.”
Silver linings and clouds come to mind, and she doesn’t let perceived downsides of fame either play on her mind or impact on her family life:
“They passed laws a couple of years ago about [paparazzi] not harassing children, so I take them everywhere with me like a shield – they’re good for something! […] My kids can handle [fame]. They know their lives are extraordinary. And girls today are allowed to be anything; they’re self-possessed, confident, they like themselves. In Apple’s peer group, I don’t see the insecurity I saw at that age.”
Insecurity is something that Paltrow is familiar with herself, and it particularly took hold when she found herself at a career crossroads:
“I was burned out! Doing back-to-back films in my twenties took it out of me [...]. Acting was my identity. Who am I, if I’m not that? There was a weird period when I wasn’t starring in films or running a successful business, so I was kind of nowhere. I thought, what if this just isn’t going to be successful?”
The demand for Goop was, however, undeniably strong, and while she’s recently taken a step back from the site she founded, she’s confident that it has legs:
“I made this tiny database so my friends would stop f****** calling me. […] For Goop to scale up, it needs to not be dependent on my name.”
Time-management on the whole has become more and more of a focus as Gwyneth has gotten older, and with that, her health and fitness regime has similarly evolved. Let’s just say that less is more…
“I used to exercise for two hours a day... an hour of cardio and an hour of weights. But there’s just no time anymore. I’m getting old, my back hurts! It’s depressing. Some days, the gym gives me this rush of energy and I feel amazing, but then my body’s like, ‘f*** you.”
Us too Gwyneth, us too. It has to be said there are still elements of planet Paltrow that we definitely don’t conform to (she doesn’t generally eat breakfast for one thing), but otherwise, her 'no-bull' attitude is something we want a piece of. We can’t all win an Oscar at 26, but we can push to achieve our ambitions and be successful on our own terms. Gwyneth didn’t ‘stay in her lane’ after all...

Total body transformations take time if you want lasting results and you want to really re-set your habits for good – but not as long as you might think. When we ingrain all four pillars of my Louise Parker Method into our clients (think successfully; live well; eat beautifully; exercise intelligently), the method just really becomes part of how they live. The result sticks along with the habit.
Hoping to look and feel a little leaner in time for that holiday or event? Author and sustainable weight loss expert Louise Parker shares her 7-day plan
The trick is to focus on shifting lifestyle habits, and then the results really look after themselves. We want our clients to enjoy their bodies and to have a life too – not to be obsessing about what they eat or how they look. It’s about freedom from the obsession around dieting and body image.
Saying that, we all want to look and feel our absolute best – and there’s nothing wrong with that. So our job is to educate, sift fads from fiction, fit the method to suit them beautifully, re-wire habits and get our clients a cracking body; and then support and motivate them through the Balance and Lifestyle phase.
It’s normal to store a kilo or two of extra baggage in the winter - I wouldn't class that as ‘yo-yo’ing’
The "summer body" is an outdated concept; our goal is to get each and every client into a body that they are thrilled with, so that they’re ready for any event – our clients want to be really happy in their body all year round. It’s normal to store a kilo or two of extra baggage in the winter – and drop that as you ease into spring. I wouldn't class that as ‘yo-yo’ing’ – just our bodies’ natural way of responding to the seasons, the foods that we eat and how much we move and socialise.
We’re really anti ‘extreme measures’ because we know that doesn't work, it’s depressing and pointless – and it's often a history of fad diets and failed attempts that has people knocking on our door in the first place – and actually the reason behind why I created the method more than 15 years ago. I was a serial dieter – hopping between dress sizes for more than a decade and so I know, like I know the sun will come out tomorrow, that restrictive measures only work against you.
However, I’m no purist and of course, there are tricks of the trade that you can do with just a week to go to a special event. I’m not talking about going on to some sort of ridiculous crash plan here – more sticking to the principles of our existing method to the best of your ability – and just tightening up on some other tips that we don’t expect our clients to follow 50 weeks a year.
MORE GLOSS: Why you're exercising and not losing weight
I personally try to stay at a more or less constant body fat level and size. Jeans are tight in January and September for obvious reasons, and I’m totally fine with that – I’ve enjoyed eating too much Toblerone at Christmas and loved a summer of relaxing into more celebration too.
So the good news is, if you have a week to go until you’ve got to bare your flesh, there is still time to make a difference. If you've got a high BMI, it may be that you drop towards a dress size, but if you’re already pretty lean, it’s just going to tighten everything up, put a spring in your step and lean you out as much as we can, without eating into precious muscle (which your body needs for structure and you need for a healthy metabolism) – so we don’t want to take any drastic steps that work against you by the time your tan has faded.
The 7-day plan
Here’s what I’ll personally do (if I need to) with a week to go before a holiday, or coach one of my clients to do, perhaps before a shoot or a press event, which can be really demanding.
1. Let’s start with the obvious and cut out all junk
All of it – not even a little Haribo. It’s actually easier to say a total no to sugars than dabble a bit here and there.
On a longer programme, we’d okay a slice of birthday cake, but if you’ve got a week – we haven’t got time for that.
Swerve around all alcohol, cakes, sugars and junk – we all know what these foods are.
2. Get savvy with where the hidden sugars are
This is where most people go wrong. There’s absolutely no point swerving the Haribo to eat paleo energy balls made of dates and honey. It may be natural, but it’s still a sugar and if your body doesn’t need it or can’t burn through it, it’s still going to end up on your bottom.
Flip the label and save yourself any misconceptions. It’s one thing knowing that you’re scoffing a Kit Kat but it’s soul-destroying to think you’re on a path to leaning out and actually putting in effort, whilst eating ‘gluten-free, natural, you get the idea’ balls that contain just as much sugar.
3. Drop the salt
You need salt in your diet, so don’t cut it out altogether – it can be dangerous – especially if you’re upping your fluids (which we will come on to next). Just keep an eye on it and perhaps use half than you normally would. Excess salt in your diet is going to force your body to store water – which whilst it isn’t fat, will make your limbs appear puffy and not what you want. Again, get savvy and check the label – watch out for soya sauce and miso and anything processed.
4. Make sure you’re staying really hydrated
If you’re training – which let’s assume you are – I’d aim for a minimum of 2-3 litres of water per day. Don’t go bonkers on it though – it can be dangerous to flood your body with water. Cut down to a couple of cups of tea a day or a good coffee you really enjoy and dose up on infused waters and herbal teas.
Drinking more fluid won’t actually burn body fat – but the fat burning process will slow down if you are dehydrated. And we so often confuse thirst for hunger. Your skin really needs good hydration too, especially if you’re flying long haul.
5. Focus on what you CAN add into your Food Plan (we never call it a diet)
If your mindset is on the good stuff, you’re less likely to focus on what you can’t have. Don’t eliminate whole food groups but the one group you can cut down on is refined carbohydrate. You need carbs though – just focus on heaps of vegetables in a rainbow of colours and at least a couple of portions of fruit a day.
Fruits contain fructose (and anything with an ‘ose’ on the end is a sugar) so try to stick to 2-3 portions per day. That way you’re not going without, but you’re not stacking away too much sugar that will slow down your fat loss.
6. Eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks - ensure every single one contains protein
It’s going to stabilise your blood sugar levels, hormones, appetite and get that fat burning tap dripping. There are hundreds of ideas in either of my Louise Parker Method books – or if you’re following a programme with one of my dieticians, this is personally adapted to get you the best results.
Really simply put, you’re aiming for each meal to have a good dose of lean protein, some fruits or lots of seasonal veggies, and then last but not least, a little bit of healthy fat.
You have to eat fat to optimise burning fat – but it’s just a little dose. You can’t eat endless avocados or pour olive oil like wine over your salads – just a tablespoon of fat at every sitting is perfect.
7. Work out every day that you possibly can
Squats with pulsing side kicks
Our mantra is ‘pay your daily rent’ – so even on the most challenging days, do a little something. With a week to go, you’ve got to put your full arse into it. A few stretches will not cut it. If you could do an hour, that would be amazing, alongside all the other tips.
What you do in that hour is equally important – use it intelligently and don’t zone out on the treadmill watching TV. Your focus should be on full body workouts and using all the large and small muscle groups in your body. Stick to what you know or get instruction – as you’ve no time to lose to injury or paying lip service.
We want to get that fat burning tap going, whilst really working to create extra muscle and give your figure that strong framework. Try to work to 8/10 intensity and keep it up for as long as you can – minimising rest times. I like to keep repetitions high too. We want to sculpt a delicate yet athletic body whilst creating what we call the ‘afterburn’. If you’re focusing on strength work in varied circuits with little rest time, you’re forcing your body to burn fat up to 48 hours after your workout.
MORE GLOSS: Why trampolining is the most effective at-home workout going
Don’t worry about bulking up – that takes months and eating copious chickens and scary-looking weights. But do add resistance – use your bodyweight, light weights or suspension training.
Most of all, stick to what you know – and it needn’t be complicated. You’d be amazed what a week's worth of squatting, lunging, planking and fine-tuning such as glute and deep core work will do if you are really consistent and living to the rest of the tips. Schedule in these workouts now, or they just won’t take priority and if you possibly can, walk up to an hour a day – it easily clocks up and will help keep that fat burning tap dripping, without burning into precious muscle mass when you're in a gentle calorific deficit.
The Perfect Plank
8. Get plenty of sleep
I’ll leave you with one that you’ll love. Sleep . It’s not hippy nonsense and has a huge impact on results. If you’re knackered, your hormones will be out of whack, your appetite raging and you’re likely to reach for a Pimms and not a plank come Wednesday.
We see that clients who sleep well – consistently 7-8 hours a night – will achieve the great results we expect if everything else is in place. Those who don’t could see a 30 per cent drop in results – so it’s not to be scoffed at. Try to embrace it and see it as a positive too. Cancel your nights out and actually schedule time to be a little nerdy – you’ll feel amazing as a result. Set a bedtime reminder on your phone at 9pm to remind you to turn off Netflix and go and run a bath. I pop some magnesium salts with some lavender, light a candle and really do my best to avoid any screens from 9pm.
MORE GLOSS: 7 food and drink hacks for a great night's sleep
It gives you time to exfoliate and dry skin brush (which is brilliant for increasing lymphatic drainage and getting rid of waterlogged tissues), whack on a face and hair mask and do your gradual glow, hop into bed and get cracking on a beach read that will take your mind off all the things that usually keep you awake at night.
You’ll have eaten beautifully, digestion will be great (whack in a probiotic if you’re not already on one to help with that), worked out until your limbs feel all wobbly and virtuous and you'll drift off into a deep, REM sleep.
Much of the groundwork we do during the day needs the night-time to really allow your best results to take hold.

You don’t need to always have a gym in order to work up a sweat. Incorporating a dose of HIRT (high intensity resistance training) into your exercise regime could help provide the perfect fitness fix for toning, burning calories and losing inches, all from the comfort of your own home.
We asked Get The Gloss Expert and personal trainer Stephen Price for his top tips for exercises you can do at home to improve stamina and strength in one fell swoop. Best for those who view themselves as being of a beginner to intermediate fitness level, it uses a mixture of weights and bodyweight, balance and core strength to provide a gym-free alternative for days when heading outdoors just isn’t an appealing option. All you need is a pair of dumbbells - "Pick a weight that you can achieve 10 reps for 4 rounds on - if it is easy, then up the weight and if you can’t achieve the 10 reps for 4 rounds then lower the weight," advises Stephen.
Workout: Dynamic flex and twist - Intermediate
“The Dynamic and Flex improves core stability, mobility and flexibility in a high-paced fashion which promotes fat burning,” says Stephen.
How it works
1. “Perform 10 reps (15s hold for planks) of each exercise and rest for 30 seconds between each.”
2. “Rest for 1-2 minutes at the completion of the last exercise before repeating the circuit.”
3. “Complete 4 rounds of the circuit.”
1. Leg swings
Movement Type
Total Body
Description
“Swing one leg forwards and backwards alternately, gradually increasing the height of the leg at the front and the back.”
2. Cheat push ups

“Adopt a supine position on the floor and, bending at the knees and hips, bring heels up to the backside. Push hips into the air so that only the shoulders and feet are in contact with the floor.”
4. Dumbbell row on bench
Movement type
Pull
Description
“Place one shin and one hand onto a bench while holding a dumbbell in the other hand. The torso should be kept level while the other hand rows the dumbbell into the ribcage. Lower the weight until the arm is straight.”

If the thought of heading out to the gym is the last thing you’d want to do at the end of a long day, not to fret as you can still get your fitness fix from the comfort of your own home.
With HIRT (high intensity resistance training) providing the perfect hit (or rather HIIT – sorry) of cardio and strength training to target abs, blitz calories, lose weight and tone with or without a membership, it’s the ideal gym-free substitute for those looking for noticeable results but are short on time. We asked Get The Gloss and fitness and nutrition expert Steve Mellor for his recommendations for exercises you can do at home for a workout that provides a comprehensive top to toe alternative on days when a drive to the gym is just a trip too far...
The warm up
Skipping or running on the spot for 5 minutes. Followed by:
1. Inchworms: “Press up position (on your hands and feet), walk (inch by inch) your feet in towards your hands, keeping the hands on the floor and legs completely straight. This warms up the backs of the legs. Complete 5 reps, 2 times.
2. Lunging lizard: “Press up position, bring your right foot up so it is to the right of your right hand. Keep your left foot where it is and keep the leg straight, try to lower your chest towards the floor and hold for 60 seconds. Repeat on both legs twice.”
The workout
1. Blitzer
Duration: “EMOM – every minute on the minute for 10 minutes, you must complete the following. If you complete it within the minute, you rest until the end of the minute before starting again,” says Steve.
- 5 burpees: “Start by lying flat on the ground, push the body off the ground using your arms then jump the feet up towards your hands and jump up until the hips are fully open and hands go above the head. Drop to the ground and repeat.”
- 6 jumping lunges: “Big stride forwards, lower the back knee down towards the ground, touch the ground then drive back up jump and change legs. Keep the feet hip width apart at all times and look forwards. Alternate legs.”
- 7 sumo squats: “With feet wider than normal squat stance, reach hips back and knees out wide as you sit down into a chair behind you. Touch the chair with your bum and stand up.”
2. Core abuse
Duration: “Repeat 2-4 times depending on fitness level,” says Steve.
- 60 second plank
- 5 press ups
- 40 second plank
- 5 press ups
- 20 second plank
- 5 press ups

Whether you’ve just stepped foot in the gym, are training for a particular challenge or simply want to inject your workout routine with a big hit of expertise, hiring a personal trainer can change your life. 99% of the time said change is for the better, although rogue traders that don’t necessarily have your interests at heart, or simply the qualifications to back up their service, have been known to cause upset, or worse, injury. How do you ensure that you’re getting a high-quality service, not to mention results? Over to straight talking strength and conditioning coach and fitness industry legend Dan Roberts ...
What are the benefits of a personal trainer over classes or working out alone?
A personal trainer will look at your body, personality and your goals and then create an evidence-informed exercise programme that is 100% bespoke to you. There is no better way of optimising results than having a dedicated professional coaching you.
I'm just starting out - how do finding a personal trainer?
It depends on what type of trainer you are looking for, I would do plenty of research. Any gym will have trainers and there are tens of thousands of freelance trainers around the UK. I would expect those trainers that are serious about their career to work at a good gym or have a website, so Google is always a handy resource.
Asking friends who they recommend is always a good place to start, and if you wanted a more high profile trainer then magazines or the GTG directory is a good source.
What qualifications should I look for?
All trainers in the UK have to be "Level 3' qualified and have a valid first aid certificate to be insured, so always check that they are insured! This is the absolute minimum.
After Level 3, there are many qualifications trainers can do, such as yoga, pilates, pre/post-natal or strength training. The list is endless! I would look for these specialist qualifications. For example, my background for many years was in the physical preparation of professional athletes. My Level 3 would simply not have been good enough, so I completed the USA’s most respected strength and conditioning qualification, known as the CSCS. If a trainer has that, it's a safe bet they have more technical knowledge.
It's tricky for consumers, as across the globe the industry isn't really that well regulated. Aside from qualifications, I would look at the body of work that the trainer has accumulated. Hours of training, evidence of results and enthusiasm for truly helping are things I look for when I hire personal trainers to work for my company.
What should happen during my first training session? What might set alarm bells ringing and what's a particularly good sign that they know their stuff?
The first session, assuming they have already completed an in-depth consultation, should be some sort of physical assessment. I would recommend you ask your trainer why you are doing certain things. Trainers love showing off their knowledge! A bad trainer will be defensive or not be able to fully communicate the reasons. Be wary of this.
How much cash will I need to part with?
The average price of personal training session is around £40 per hour, but £65 in London. The most talked about trainers are usually more than £150. Taking my company as an example, we have trainers in London and New York, whose rates range from £50 to £200+ an hour.
Having said this, the way in which I run my company is unique. I create a bespoke package for every new client, which may involve one session a week for £50, or alternatively consist of a more comprehensive and intensive daily exercise, nutrition and wellbeing programme. This would bring in a few of my team and incorporate such activities as pilates, massage, yoga, weight lifting, self-defence training and daily fresh food delivery. It’s almost like having your own fitness and wellbeing concierge service.
Most trainers in the industry see their clients two to three times a week, however, you can have one session a month and learn all about weight lifting or techniques in order to then train better on your own. I call these education sessions and it's something we do as a company regularly. Not everyone time has the budget for regular training, it doesn't haven't to be all or nothing.
Are PTs required to attend regular training themselves?
No, it's not a legal necessity. Good ones will continually educate themselves though. Most trainers in my experience are of the good variety!
Should my trainer be giving me dietary advice?
Not necessarily. If they are qualified in nutrition, then yes. I think it's best to take advice from specialists. A trainer will probably know about nutrition more than most and can give some great advice, but I would recommend hiring a certified nutritionist or dietician .
How can I get the most out of my training time?
This depends. You and your trainer have to be clear about how to measure your progress, be it in looks, performance or mindset. What do results mean to you?
Talk to your trainer, it should be very much a team effort. When you are both in agreement and have open communication, then you’ll be amazed at what can be achieved.
Should I be in pain after every training session?
When you do new exercises then you may get DOMs (delayed onset muscle soreness) . I find that it takes a couple of weeks to get used to the movements and shift in lifestyle. The more you train, the less this will happen as your body gets used to the shock of it all.
A bit of pain is fine; not being able to walk isn't. When we are with clients intensely, let's say to train an actor before a big movie role, he or she will be training for three hours a day with us, five days a week. That actor will experience a lot of soreness, and in that scenario when results are more important than fun, he or she will just have to toughen up!
Should my trainer be teaching me how to stretch and recover?
If that's part of your of your programme, then yes. It's not a given that you should be doing flexibility work, though. It depends on your body and your goals. If you have a client who is hypermobile and you do 90 minutes' kickboxing, then stretching after the workout wouldn’t be advisable. It would do far more harm than good.
That being said, recovery is essential to optimise results. This is what you do for the other 23 hours that you don't train! Good quality sleep is key, as is a varied, healthy, nutrient-dense and balanced diet.
Stress is a massive factor [in the results you experience] too. If you're stressed, out fat will cling on to your body and muscles. So if work is stressing you out, either consider applying for a new job, or change your thinking about it.This is also true of relationships or money worries. We have two choices; to actively change the stressor, or to change our response to it. Easier to say, harder to do, but still true!
I'm not getting the results I expected. Should I end it with my PT?
It’s hard to say. Were your expectations communicated to your PT? Either way, if you have doubts , it's nice to talk it out with the other party.
If after a conversation you still have a niggling feeling that he or she isn't the best fit for you, leave. There are lots of wonderful trainers out there.

Here at GTG given the fact that we’re crazy about all things health and fitness related we just can’t help but love to take a sneak peek into the health habits and exercise schedules of women across the country.
By taking a look into their nutritional tips, motivating mantras and personal fitness goals it helps deliver a dose of inspiration to give us the impetus get up and get going this 2015.
This week we sat down with e-commerce assistant for bespoke jewellery brand Alex Monroe , Amina Khan, to find out what fitness habits float her boat and what words of workout wisdom she had to share.
What’s your overall approach to health, fitness and nutrition?
When it comes to health and fitness, I take a ‘no boundaries’ attitude. I believe you ought to push yourself beyond your comfort zone every time you do something. When I was training for my first marathon, I got injured and turned to boxing to keep my cardio up. I happened to sign up for the mixed class and they had me sparring with men twice my size - but it didn’t put me off one bit. I always regret not giving it my all so I tell myself, just keep pushing or you’ll wish you’d done more!
Nutrition is also really important to me. I try and stick to all the typically good habits of eating greens, sweet potato, no meat, a bit of fish and nuts - but I also enjoy a cake or pastry. I don’t believe in denying yourself something indulgent. Usually once a day I’ll treat myself to a bar of sea salted dark chocolate or even a good old piece of carrot cake. Moderation is key to longevity and people who try to cut out everything too quickly often end up failing as it’s not in line with their usual eating habits and is such a shock to the system. I’ve found that the key is to slowly remove things from your diet until you no longer call it a diet and it just becomes your natural routine.
How much is fitness a priority in your life?
It’s definitely up there. Becoming fitter has allowed me to do so many amazing things that I would never would have been able to achieve had I not got into running. For example, I was invited by Nike to test trial a new trainer in Stockholm, I ran the Paris-Semi and I ran my first marathon in Palestine in 2014. All of these and more have occurred because I took the step forward to better myself. It’s funny because a lot of people see exercise as a chore but It’s the total opposite for me - I see it as more of a necessity. Then I find that being fit and motivated just trickles down and benefits many other aspects of my life.
How do you squeeze fitness in around your busy schedule?
I work as an e-commerce assistant for a jewellery label as well as working part time on my own jewellery, so it can be a bit of a tight squeeze - largely however, it depends on the season. I love the summer because the sun rises at around 6am and I can get up to do a long run before work, which really sets me up for the day. However, in the winter I limit my time running to two to three times a week.
Recently I decided to start running the 10k home after work on Fridays, so I know that I have a guaranteed session at the end of the week. I think there’s a common misconception that fitness has to be an epic one or two hour gym session - but it doesn’t, even if you get home after work and spend 15 minutes doing core work or upper body, that’s time you’re investing in your body and it does add up. I’m a bit of a cheat too as I have a spin bike at home and a mini gym with kettlebells etc, so even if I have a day when I’ve not run or been boxing, I can grab a quick 20 minutes on the spin bike and a further 15 minutes doing core or upper body work. There is always time, you just have to find it!
In a typical week what is your workout schedule and why?
Again it depends on the season but I’ll talk about summer as that’s my busiest time. On a Monday morning I’ll do a two a three mile run to warm up and some track sprints of 400m and 100m. On Tuesday I start with another morning run of 20 minutes at a quick pace followed by an hours boxing session in the evening. On Wednesday I do yoga after work for an 1hr 30 mins. Thursday is usually a hilly run before work or a five mile run after work. Friday is my rest day. On Saturday I try to do a long run of at least 7 miles and finally on Sunday I’ll do a morning gym session, followed by two hours of football training.
Every activity I partake in I love - I always say if it doesn’t bring you happiness, don’t do it and find something you love to help motivate you to turn up. Typically I despise gyms but I’ve found a small one that is rarely busy and I get to use their weight machines - there is always compromise when it comes to fitness, you just have to find it.
What’s your personal motivational mantra?
When I really don’t feel like doing something I try to remember the feeling of not doing it and it’s a lot worse - you only regret the workouts you don’t do…
What tips would you give anyone look to train for a 10K or half marathon?
Well definitely don’t do what I did and give yourself a month to train for your first 10k or just four weeks to train for your first half marathon. Firstly, you just need to get out there and put one foot in front of another. Set yourself small targets of running for 15 minutes non-stop, or maybe decide you will loop the park three times, walk for five minutes and do it again. Find a routine you are comfortable with and then set yourself a schedule - you can even start making a note of your time to help track your progress. Once you start seeing improvements in your running you’ll want to take it further and will start looking into your nutrition and if you’re wearing the right shoes etc. For your first anything however, don’t worry about pace. Just concentrate on finishing and enjoying it. The atmosphere of any race is so electrifying - if it’s not the crowd behind you, it’s your fellow runners. That’s why running is so special to me, it’s like a big club that anyone can join.

Augmented analytics solution finds patterns in data with ease and speed, this is a significant help when it comes to e-commerce personalization. Customers' data is collected in large amounts by e-commerce and internet advertising companies.
Increased personalization and product recommendations, according to e-commerce firm Barilliance, boost a buyer's average number of cart items. Retailers may use augmented analytics to follow online behavior across many platforms, including web browsers, mobile devices, and apps, and then integrate, analyze, and act on that data to better serve customers and enhance conversion rates. Thus, advanced personalization in retail/e-commerce is helping the augmented analytics market to grow in upcoming years.
While there are software tools available to help organizations visualize and communicate the analysis completed by data scientists to decision-makers in the organization, the majority of these tools do not analyze the data. Augmented analytics can do it all for any size of organization. As a result, this will spur the adoption of augmented analytics solution over the forecast period.
"Growing need for accelerating data gathering and preparation in large enterprises and advancements in natural language processing are likely to bolster the demand for augmented analytics solution and services" says an FMI analyst.

Leading a busy uptown, up-tempo life with a full-on job and busy social commitments, Account Manager at Fuel PR, Severina Grozeva, understands better than anyone the difficulties of juggling a healthy, well-balanced schedule. However, after years of practice and an inherent love of outdoor activities, we think she might have just about cracked it.
This week we sat down with Severina, who let us in on her top nutrition and fitness secrets that allow her to keep brilliantly burning the candle at both ends - we’re taking notes...
What’s your overall approach to health, fitness and nutrition?
Quite simple really – I believe in the old proverb ‘mens sana in corpore sano,’ which means a healthy mind in a healthy body. To me, this sums it up. I’ve also learned from my parents, both of whom played tennis a lot - my mother still runs almost every day and looks amazingly elegant. If you have this kind of mentality, then you pass it on to the next generations.
How much is fitness a priority in your life?
It’s very important - to me being fit is about the mind as well as the body, it’s not just a vanity thing. I think it’s like learning new languages. If you start young, it’s much easier and it becomes a part of you. I’ve been playing tennis since I was five or six years old and I am still very enthusiastic about it. I try to play two to three times a week when the weather allows (indoor/covered tennis courts are hard to find in London, so the winter season is usually out...).
I’ve also snowboarded since I was about twelve years old - it’s one of my favourite outdoor activities. Living in the UK, I don’t get to go out to the mountains as often as when I was growing up, but when you are up there, being fit really matters. Snowboarding teaches you to make decisions quickly and that taking risks sometimes get rewarded, but also sometimes hurts. It also gives you legs of steel!
How do you squeeze fitness in around your busy schedule?
I just get up and do it. Don’t hesitate or over-think it. If you know you will be working late or have plans for the evening, get up early and exercise first thing. Sleeping leaves no memories behind, says an old Bulgarian saying – just make sure you go to bed early! I also like to think of it as time to myself - I think everyone needs that.
In a typical week what is your workout schedule and why?
I’ve gone through periods where I’ve genuinely overdone it – running every single day for years or doing five hard core spinning sessions a week. I came to realise that over exercising didn’t produce any great results, mostly exhaustion and some minor injuries. I’ve learnt my lesson and now favour moderation and variety.
Besides tennis, I love anything that involves technique and engages the mind and body – which is why boxing has become my second favourite workout. In a usual week, I’ll do two or three boxing sessions, either as part of a Fitboxing / Fight Club class or a personal training session in a proper boxing gym like the Fitzroy Lodge .
I also try to do at least one or two circuit and weights based-classes a week, to add variety and build strength, which I used to lack. I work out with one of the best personal trainers in town – Tyrone Brennand, founder of Be The Fittest . He creates personalised workouts that are tailored to my needs and goals, which means I see results really quickly.
In the summer, I always play tennis on the weekend and will swap a morning training session at the gym for a game in Regents Park– it’s the best possible start to the day. When I was young and went on holiday with my parents, we’d wake up early and play a game of tennis before breakfast – I loved that! I’ve kept this tradition and still try to squeeze a few games when I am on holiday – I love playing on the clay courts in my native Sofia as well as at the tennis club of San Remo in Italy. If I can find half an hour in the evening, I’d do a yoga session at home or would go to a Pilates class. It’s a great way to stretch your tired muscles, learn some key breathing techniques, relax and find your Zen. All tennis players do yoga, so if it’s good enough for them...
What tips would you give anyone looking to get fitter/start exercising regularly?
Just do it. Don’t over-think it. Find something about it that excites you – it might be improving your performance, seeing your body change, releasing the tension after a tough day at work, or wearing some super comfortable clothes for once – whatever it is, make it work for you, not the other way around!

The growing usage of mobile devices and mobile applications has made it extremely convenient for individuals to book tickets as these apps also provide easy payment options and enable customers to select suitable seats.
Live Music Market: Privacy and Security Concerns over Online Ticket Booking Platforms to Challenge the Market Growth
With the growth in online platforms and applications, the threat of phishing has increased. To target the right audience with customized offerings, service providers track cookies to collect data related to customers' preferences. They use this data to reach out and interact with their customers. They access information on customer profiling, customer behavior, and data mining. The indiscriminate use of this data can infringe on customer privacy. Location-based services also come under the purview of privacy concerns because offering such services to customers requires geo-based information.

View Our Report Sample for highlights on the regional growth opportunities, market size, and other important factors.
Vendor landscape
The global online travel booking platform market is fragmented, and the degree of fragmentation will accelerate during the forecast period. The market is characterized by the presence of a significant number of large to small-scale vendors. The established vendors have strong financial capabilities and expertise to offer high-quality services. Small-scale vendors compete with established vendors by using low-pricing strategies and strengthening the local customer base.
Increasing internet and smartphone penetration due to technological advances has been instrumental in driving the growth of the market. However, disruptions in travel demand due to various issues such as airline pricing, hotel pricing, and natural calamities might hamper the market growth. Competitors have to focus on differentiating their product offerings with unique value propositions to strengthen their foothold in the market. Market vendors also have to leverage the existing growth prospects in the fast-growing segments, while maintaining their positions in the slow-growing segments. Airbnb Inc., Booking Holdings Inc., eDreams ODIGEO, Expedia Group Inc., Hostelworld.com Ltd., MakeMyTrip Ltd., Thomas Cook (India) Ltd., Trip.com Group Ltd., TripAdvisor LLC, and TUI AG are among some of the major market participants.

NEW YORK, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The outbreak of COVID-19 has made a huge impact on global industrial supply chains. Certainly, COVID-19 has posed severe challenges to the pulp and paper industry including Paper Notebooks Market. For example, paper notebooks and printing papers have seen a notable decrease in demand due to the shutdown of colleges and universities. However, the reopening of schools and universities in countries such as China is expected to drive the demand for paper notebooks in the region. For example, in April 2020, Shanghai welcomed students in their final years of middle and high school, while Beijing allowed students preparing for China's university entrance exam in July 2020 to return to campuses. The Paper Notebooks Market Share is expected to increase by USD 16.55 billion from 2020 to 2025 with an accelerated CAGR of 7%, according to the recent market study by Technavio.

Learn More about Key Driver & Challenge of the Market-
- Paper Notebooks Market Driver:
- Emergence of various types of paper:
The different types of papers available in the market, which are being used for manufacturing paper notebooks, are anticipated to increase the adoption of consumers and drive the market during the forecast period. The various types of papers used for making notebooks are includes, Bond Paper, Endpapers, Parchment Paper, Recycled Paper, Munken, And Wove. Bond paper is a high-quality, tough paper that is made from cotton. It is mostly used in banks and government organizations for documentation purposes. Endpapers are the first and last cover pages of a notebook, which are used to cover the papers inside the book. They are mostly plain white or any other color of choice and mostly represent the brand logo design of the notebook company. Wove paper is a plain paper mostly found in books where printing is required. Owing to the emergence of various types of paper used for manufacturing paper notebooks, the use of paper notebooks among customers is expected to increase.
- Paper Notebooks Market Challenge:
- Stringent regulations on paper manufacturing:
The paper manufacturing process usually emits harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and methane, which cause pollution and negatively impact the environment. Toxic emissions are one of the major challenges expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. Stringent regulations on the manufacturing of paper notebooks for environmental safety significantly influence the existing practices and future opportunities in the notebook industry. The regulations are the preventive measures, which must be complied with by vendors to reduce the negative environmental impacts of manufacturing paper notebooks. For instance, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implemented the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act of 2010. This act regulates the emissions of formaldehyde from composite wood products during the manufacture of paper and paper notebooks. Owing to these regulations, vendors operating in the market incur high production costs and compliance costs associated with the production of paper products such as paper notebooks. This may lead to a decline in the production of paper notebooks and hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.

I was never much of a yoga fan - classes always seemed so competitive, I didn’t have the right leggings and couldn’t fake the virtuous glow (and excess of enthusiasm) that my yoga mates all seemed to possess. So other than a few random attempts and fairly irregular attendance on several beginners’ courses (no wonder I didn’t have the glow!), I thought that yoga and I would remain passing acquaintances. Until, during the depths of last winter, I committed to a week-long spring yoga break at a new retreat in Ibiza called Yoga Rosa . I figured I’d have several months to work on my asanas, find the right leggings and basically, not be a downward dog duffer.
Having panic-practised in the few weeks leading up to my stay (not very yogic, I know), I arrived at the retreat located in the quiet, (i.e. away from the clubs) south-eastern part of the island near Santa Eularia des Riu, despondent and worried that I wouldn’t get the most from my week away.
But the minute I walked through the gate and was greeted by Hugo (more about him later) I changed my mind. The Rosa behind the yoga is Rosa Klein , a strikingly good-looking Austrian - a tall, strong, ex-fashion and interiors magazine and advertising producer with great style and taste. After a serious car accident (brain damage, broken ribs and one leg left shorter than the other) and the prospect of a life lived in pain, Rosa found yoga and the physical strength and ease it brings. She went on to train in kriya yoga, a meditative form based on therapeutic, holistic Ayurvedic principles.
Rosa's retreat, on a large estate, is more like a rambling garden, set on a pine-clad escarpment, overlooking distant rural views of the northern part of the island. Two swimming pools - one salt, one freshwater - hammocks under the trees, shady areas to relax and lovely pathways through the pine trees, interspersed with sculptures, all make for a sense of space and feeling of quietude.
A cluster of elegantly renovated fincas are furnished with a clever combination of upcycled driftwood furniture (by Roger Salvesberg of Ibiza Grey , a local eco artisan) and mid-century classics. A sitting room and kitchen replenished daily with reverse osmosis filtered rainwater, teas, fresh fruit, seeds, nuts and dried fruit for snacking, make each house feel like home. The bedding - handmade locally from soft, washed linen - deserves special mention, sourced from local interior design store Tanis who also made the soft furnishings for the fincas and pool loungers.
There’s room for up to nine guests which makes for a friendly and supportive group. And if you commit to the holistic colon cleanse to flush the system, which involves a morning practising specific digestion-stimulating yoga poses and drinking two-and-a-half litres of salt water (cue profuse vomiting and diarrhoea), it helps to have sympathetic fellow guests. Knowing that others are gagging on salt water in between dashing to the loo and feeling pretty ropey, is incredibly bonding. And afterwards, when everyone looks so much more energised and glowing, it’s nice to have the mirror of other peoples’ opinions.
The real focus of the retreat is the outdoor whitewashed wooden yoga platform, where the scent of the pine trees mingles with incense during a 90-minute early morning class led by Rosa. The yoga itself is a combination of flow, pranayama (breath control) meditation and quiet reflection (kriya yoga), learned by Rosa from the Indian master Mahedra Pardeshi at the Gayatri Dham ashram in Rishikesh, near the foothills of the Himalayas. It’s a holistic practice, based on the classical Indian tradition which combines wonderfully with pranayama breathing meditation.
Our group was of mixed experience – from me at six months (ish) to 20 years and everything in between with one person a teacher of yoga.
I found it challenging and struggled with many of the asanas, but each day brought improvement in flexibility and by the end of the week I could reach, straighten and hold further, better and longer than I’d have thought possible. What really resonated with me (and any work or life-stressed attendee) was the meditative aspect of Rosa’s particular form of kriya yoga. We began the daily 90-minute practice with a short seated meditation, practising pranayama breathing (in through the nose for four seconds, hold for four seconds, out through the nose for eight) to the calming sound of a singing bowl played by Rosa. Then we were gently verbally guided through a warm-up of seated poses followed by a surya namaskar (sun salutation) sequence, before starting on our standing, lying down and inverted postures. We each worked to our own capabilities, with Rosa providing individual guidance where needed. I was way behind on many of the poses that required greater flexibility (I still can’t get my foot above my knee for the tree pose), but turns out I’m pretty good at a head stand.
Each class made for a very centering experience. My head was clearer, focus sharper and energy revived.
One of the many highlights of the day is the post-yoga brunch – a total feast, laid out on the communal table overlooking the pool and kitchen garden. With award-winning Austrian chef Philipp Gandler in charge of the kitchen, the vegetarian/vegan spread was truly exceptional; porridge with chopped dates and goji berries, an unbelievably delicious seed bread, home-made fruit preserves, eggs any style, organic cheeses, sheep’s yogurt, fruit, smoothies and tisanes are all either grown within view in the garden or sourced locally from organic farms.
Afternoons are for relaxing by the pools, heading to the beach for a walk with Rosa’s five friendly dogs (Hugo, a tan hunting cross-breed, the leader of the pack greeted us on our first day and has a passion for chasing pine cones) or booking a treatment with a choice of local practitioners offering Thai massage, deep tissue (amazing for stiff shoulders and backs), reiki and bio-resonance, (a painless form of electronic feedback analysis that registers the body’s energy levels using electrodes to asses and rebalance weaknesses). Or you could zip up your metabolism and join personal trainer Alexandra Pudlik’s Body Balance classes, an upbeat yet challenging hour working with wobble boards and sand-filled balls in an acrobatic, rhythmic way.
As the sun goes down, the mats come out again for the evening meditation, an hour of pranayama breathing followed by savasana (lying down relaxation) listening to Rosa’s mesmeric voice talk you through the meditation. I nearly fell asleep several times but thoughts of the three-course dinner to come kept me awake.
And what dinners: gourmet standard food, eaten on a rustic communal table with unbelievably delicious concoctions such as fragrant pea and mint soup followed by courgette flower tempura, and Crema Catalana (the Spanish version of creme brulee) or beetroot carpaccio, grilled calamari and steamed spinach followed by sheep’s yogurt cream with sweet strawberries from the garden. We all left armed with recipes to try at home as well as a darling little jar of homemade apricot preserve tied with a lavender sprig from the garden.
For the perfect balance of hard work and reward, Rosa’s approach is perfectly tuned. This meditative place is far from the craziness for which Ibiza is known. Even Rosa’s choice of a beach location for our last night’s meditation was perfect: on the rocks, overlooking the water, warmed by the setting sun. The last time I went to Ibiza was in the 1980s at the explosion of the club scene and I have never really wanted to go back. But I do now. Not only that, I have carried on my practice at home, even moving the furniture to create a yoga space. I have also joined a local class to keep up with my new-found enthusiasm.
One of the things that I learned at Yogarosa - and that I now use every day to induce calm and clarity - is a short breathing practice and meditation.
Seated breath meditation for calm and clarity
This alternate nostril breathing involves closing the right nostril with the right thumb, breathing in and then switching so you block the left nostril and breathe out through the right. Here’s how to do it.
- Sitting cross legged or in lotus, with eyes closed, close the right nostril with your right thumb and breathe in through the left nostril for four seconds.
- Hold the breath for four seconds
- Close the left nostril with your right middle finger and breathe out through the right nostril.
- Then breathe in through the right nostril, hold for four, close it, and breathe out through the left.
- Repeat the cycle breathing in through the left nostril inhaling, holding and exhaling for four counts each.
- Do this for one minute.
PRICES: All inclusive, from £200 per person room, per night, deluxe brunch, fruit plates, smoothies, snacks, teas and three-course dinner, yoga therapy, pranayama meditation and optional colon cleanse.
Body Balance classes and massages are extra, around 80 Euros for one hour.
Retreats are for one week, although day-and-half day retreats are available on request.
Airport transfers 40 Euros each way.

For additional insights into the contribution of all the segments - Grab a sample now!
Tiny Homes Market: Key Market Dynamics
- Market Driver - The key factor driving growth in the tiny homes market is its affordability by the mass section of the population. Tiny homes are recognized as the most affordable housing system, preferred especially by millennials. Tiny homes are just a fraction of the price of traditional homes and can be designed based on customers' requirements. These homes can be purchased at a comparatively lower price than conventional site-built homes. The average price of a tiny home ranges from $10,000 to $30,000. Any price variation can be attributed to factors such as design and structure. The high cost of constructing a conventional home exerts financial strains on the buyer.
- Market Challenges - The limited demand from developing economies will be a major challenge for the tiny homes market during the forecast period. Tiny homes have a high demand in developed economies such as the US, while the adoption and purchase of such homes are limited in developing economies. People in developing countries have limited knowledge and awareness about the availability of such homes and prefer to buy conventional homes. The lack of presence of major vendors, coupled with the low preference of consumers to purchase such homes, acts as a major challenge for the market. Vendors find it difficult to penetrate the developing markets of APAC and Eastern Europe due to their limited knowledge about product offerings and technologies.

Now with the successful initiation of cGMP manufacturing at the MFG14 facility in Hangzhou, our end-to-end microbial services will enable our partners to accelerate the development and manufacturing of these innovative products for the benefit of patients worldwide."

On the cusp of opening her twelfth studio in the UK, it’s fair to say that Barrecore’s Niki Rein is a little busy. Having launched her first barre workout studio in London in 2009, both her business and her clientele have gone from strength to strength, with barrecore aficionados including Jourdan Dunn , Poppy Delevingne and Darcey Bussell , to name just a few regular barre-goers who’ve seen speedy results through the intense yet low impact isometric movement that barrecore is famed for. Keeping an award-winning business flourishing does, however, make for a hectic day job, so how does Niki fit in her own training and keep her health in check amongst the board meetings, business admin and teaching sessions? She shared her weekly fitness diary, along with her health must-haves.
My overall approach to health and fitness
“Everything I do is focused on hormone balancing . I make sure that I get enough good quality sleep, meditate, eat a hormone-balancing diet, take the supplements I need and workout for my body type and current level of stress.
Quality (not quantity) of sleep is the biggest hitter for keeping hormones, moods and energy levels in a happy place for me. Too many nights of poor sleep wreaks havoc on my nutrition choices, energy output (especially while training) and my (mostly) positive outlook. I also meditate every single morning without fail. Getting in 45 minutes before starting anything else in my day sets my focus, makes me a faster and clearer decision maker and a more compassionate communicator.”
My diet
“I eat a mostly ketogenic diet consisting of 70-80% fat, a tonne of vegetables and adequate protein. Adding what I like to call the 'sexy foods', such as grass fed butter, coconut oil , olive oil, avocados, marbled meats (grass fed of course) and extra dark chocolate has been a complete game changer for me and my battle against PCOS. Ketosis has regulated my menstrual cycle, calmed inflammation, cleared my skin, whittled my waist, boosted energy stores and completely curbed all cravings for unhealthy foods. I actually feel like I am ageing backwards! Daily supplements such as probiotics , a high antioxidant multivitamin, fish oil, magnesium and vitamin D are also imperative to staying healthy for me.”
My fitness priorities
“As founder of Barrecore, fitness is my life. I am lucky to have the opportunity to train on a daily basis and am surrounded by all the positive people within the business and industry all the time, which makes it an easy priority. I prefer to train five times a week on average, but if I am stressed out and have too much going on I will back down to three days per week and some might just be restorative classes. On the flipside, if I am energised, I will add in a run or yoga class on top. I think it can be too easy to fall into the "should's" of weekly routines, day in and day out, throughout the year. I have learned that it's important for me to take check of my current lifestyle and stress load and adjust my workouts to compliment and bring balance, not add more stress.”
Fitting fitness into my day
“Again, I am blessed to have access to Barrecore's strong and varied classes daily. There really is no excuse for me not to get a workout in. That said, I am busy, so it's easy to skip a workout and tackle my inbox instead. When my to-do list starts to outweigh my workout routine I just give myself the gentle reminder that I am ALWAYS more productive and efficient with my time when I exercise regularly.
The key is to make your workouts a non-negotiable appointment in your schedule. I know, if something is not in my diary, I won't do it. Even having amazing results-focused classes at my fingertips, I have to schedule class into my day or I just let other things slip in instead.”

Many shocking details connected to the Udaipur killing have come to the fore. The two accused arrested by the police in this case are said to be connected with the Islamic organization Dawat-e-Islami.
This is the same organization which was founded in Pakistan’s Karachi and was subject of serious allegations for forced conversion in India. Now, new information that has come out about this organization is shocking.
About 325 km from Delhi in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, hundreds of donation boxes have been found with the help of which this organization has received donations worth lakhs of rupees.
There are about 250 such shops in Pilibhat where these boxes have been kept by this organization to collect donations. The surprising thing is that even these shopkeepers do not know much about these piglets. City’s Maulana Zaratab Khan has alleged that the money deposited in these boxes directly goes to this organization and then this money is misused.
There are many madrassas and schools in Pilibhat which are being run by Dawat-e-Islami and if the money collected in these boxes is spent on promoting Islamic fundamentalism, then it is very serious.
More details about the Amravati killing
First Kanhaiya Lal was beheaded and murdered in Udaipur. Then later it was revealed that on June 21, Umesh Kolhe was also killed in Maharashtra’s Amravati because he had put a WhatsApp status in support of Nupur Sharma.
But now it is being told that Umesh Kolhe was not the only one who received death threats for supporting Nupur Sharma. Rather, other people of the city were also intimidated in similar cases.
Among them is the name of one Dr Gopal Rathi, who put a status on WhatsApp in support of Nupur Sharma. After this, he was threatened with death on his mobile phone. The person making the threat had given his name as Razik Mirza and also claimed that he was associated with Rehbar Sanstha. This is the same organization, whose founder Irfan Sheikh is accused of killing Umesh Kolhe.
Dr Gopal Rathi is not the only one in Amravati whom Islamic fundamentalists tried to intimidate. Apart from him, another person from the city was threatened by saying that if he supported Nupur Sharma then its consequences would be very bad.

If fitness motivation levels are starting to flag and the good intentions you made at the beginning of the year are reaching breaking point, don’t give up - help is at hand.
We’ve all been there, so to help you stay on the right track, we’ve teamed up with Nike to help inspire women - sporty and non-sporty alike - to get out there and feel Better For It as part of their new campaign. Whether you’re a fitness phobic, a fitness fanatic or somewhere in-between, we could all do with a dose of much-needed fitness motivation to pick ourselves out of a rut or just find the simple solution to getting started to make last month’s resolutions turn into long-term reality.
“I’m a huge fan of starting clean slates and new beginnings and with the start of a New Year, it’s the perfect opportunity and incentive to start over,” says Jessica Skye, Nike Training Club (NTC) Elevated Trainer. “We all do it and the real struggle is keeping it going and not slipping back into old patterns by March. Since we are creatures of habit it’s important that we set goals in a way we’ll want to carry them on.”
The secret lies in seeing fitness as a necessity, not as a side-note - a mindset that is extremely hard to change. So how exactly do we go about doing that? We asked the pros to weigh in to provide the ultimate guide for learning to love exercise and changing the way you see fitness for good - your set of must-read mantras so to speak, to motivate, encourage and inspire you no matter your fitness goal. Not only that, but Nike has also created a new original show series to help people on their fitness journeys - Margot vs Lily. Starring two sisters (exercise-allergic Margot and YouTube fitness celebrity, Lily), their sibling rivalry gets out of hand when they challenge each other to get way outside of their fitness comfort zones. Watch the first episode here .
With these two new additions in your workout artilleries, getting fit just became easier, more fun and more enjoyable than ever.
1. Set realistic goals and reassess them regularly
For many, festive overload and Christmas excess leads us to make a whole host of overly-ambitious New Year’s resolutions come January. While it’s always great to have something to aim for, there’s a fine line between inspiring fitness goals and setting yourself up for failure. A hard balance to find, it seems the answer lies in keeping your hopes realistic. “When speaking to runners and my personal clients, I always advise to make their goals realistic in the first place,” says Nike+ Run Club (NRC) and NTC Trainer Rebecca Gentry. “You’re never going to go from say, never running before to running a marathon by February for example.”
Rather than berate yourself for having not quite stuck to your original resolutions, take it as the perfect opportunity to re-evalute your aims. “It’s a good time to reassess your goals and see if your resolutions were in fact made on a New Year high, thinking that you’d get healthy unrealistically quickly,” says Rebecca. “In order to stick to it, it has to be gradual; and to enjoy it, it has to be realistic. Fitness should fit around your lifestyle and not be about dedicating your whole life to it.”
2. Buddy up
There’s some serious truth to the phrase, “Strength in numbers,” and no situation is that better demonstrated than when it comes to keeping your fitness goals on track. “If you’re new to fitness in particular, exercising with friends is a huge tip of mine as it stops you from feeling isolated or insecure as you’re doing it together,” says Nike Master Trainer, Faisal Abdalla. “It adds an element of fun to it - the more the merrier I say.
“All of our NTC sessions and NRC sessions are designed to be like a community for fitness and health,” says Rebecca Gentry. “Get involved with a friend - the likelihood is you won’t want to let them down when your motivation levels start to flag.”

3. Make sports social
The battle to balance work, life, family and friends is real. We know it well. So combine them and make sport social by making a morning, afternoon or evening out of it. “Get friends involved on your fitness/wellness mission so it’s social and more fun,” recommends Jessica. “You can make a thing of it - meet for a juice, hit a yoga class, then a healthy brunch after. You will also help to keep each other motivated.” Should you be looking for some additional fitness friends with the same objectives in mind, check out the free Nike Run Club classes that take place every week from their London Nike stores. Find further details about the activity timetable here .
4. Let your friends play PT
Get by with a little (further) help from your friends and create a rota which allows each of you to take on the role of personal trainer every time you meet up. “What’s really good when you’re training with a partner or group of ladies, is where one of you chooses one form of training each time you meet, e.g. spinning, a bootcamp session, track running...I guarantee that each time, one person in the group will hate it, but because it’s been chosen by your friend, there’s more of a feeling that you have to do it,” recommends Faisal. “It’s a great way to push yourself out of your comfort zone in a way that is outside of your control as someone else has made the choice for you.”

5. HIIT it up
Think you don’t have time for exercise? Think again. High Intensity Interval Training (or HIIT), could be the perfect way to fit fitness into your lifestyle. With the emphasis based squarely on quality over quantity, it involves short, sharp bursts of exercise done at maximum speed, with short rest periods in-between. “The go-to Mecca for a good HIIT workout is the Nike+ Training Club App which has multiple choices in terms of training time (you can choose from 5 minute, 15 minute and 30 minute workouts),” says Faisal. “It makes it so there is no excuse not to get in a session plus, it suits all levels of fitness from beginner to intermediate to advanced.”
The perfect way to get it in quick the morning after a long night out or at the end of a long day, try also adding a circuit into it using the NTC Circuit Breaker workout in the NTC App to keep things interesting. The trick to getting the most out of it? Keep an eye on your watch. “Timing is most important for me on a practical level with HIIT,” says Rebecca. “It’s really easy when you’re on your own to get side-tracked or distracted. A 30 second rest can last 5 minutes if you start chatting, so download a stopwatch or timer that bleats at you to make sure your rest periods are carried out properly. This is why the Nike+ Training Club App workouts are particularly good because they include countdowns, recovery times and bleats too!”

6. Employ some friendly competition
When it comes to reaching your fitness goals, there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. Whether that’s spurring one another on in your workouts or maybe even making a friendly bet, it could provide an extra dimension to your workout regime and take your fitness to the next level. “Working out with a friend could give you a competitive edge,” says Rebecca. “Circuit training is hard enough but with a friend, I’ve found you push yourself that much further as you don’t want to be the one who stops first!” Find more ideas for getting your friends inspired here .
7. Mix it up
There’s a reason why variety is the spice of life - it stops routine from becoming bland and adds a dose of added flavour when your fitness regime is starting to fall flat. Mixing it up is one of the best ways to keep mind and body engaged and focused. “We are creatures of habit and sometimes are more attracted to our comfort zones,” says Jessica. “Push boundaries and get recommendations for cool fun fitness hotspots. Try new things, shake up your habits, keep it fresh and mix it up. Even if you only want to do yoga – try different studios, teachers and styles. If you only want to run – try run clubs, do different routes, make sure you’ve got music you like (a big thing for me).”
“If you’re stuck in a rut and exercising in the same place and doing the same workout, I would advise changing your surroundings and the way you train,” says Faisal. “For example, if you do bodyweight movements normally, try weight training; if you usually run, try a spinning class. Your body won’t change if you’re doing the same training day in and day out and these 2 simple factors are certain to change the way you look and feel.” For more inspiration, head on over to www.nike.com/betterforit .
8. Create an exercise program that fits your life
Much like a pair of leggings or a new sports bra, fitness shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. If the idea of finding a workout plan that suits your particular needs understandably overwhelms you, worry not, as your perfect match could be just a download away. “The Nike+ Training Club App has a Creative Program section offering get leaned, get focused and get toned 4 week programs with reminders every day that pop up on your phone,” says Rebecca. “It also allows you to be part of a social community online so your friends can see your progress and if you did (of didn’t) complete a workout for an extra incentive.”
9. Try something new
“Big cities in London pretty much offer a new class every week, so grab a friend and try something brand new,” recommends Rebecca. “Whether it’s boxing at KOBOX, classes at Core Collective, spinning at Psycle or circuit training at Barry’s Bootcamp (all of which have Nike Trainers working at them), it’s all about going hard and having a good time. Trying something new also offers a great opportunity to break bad habits and learn something new to take back to your personal sessions.” Find out what’s on in your city here .
10. Sign up for a challenge
Whatever your fitness level, there’s a variety of fun, exciting and motivating challenges to sign up for during the year to keep the sparks of New Year motivation fired up. “In terms of smaller running ones, there’s the Hackney Half on the 8th of May. Not only is it fun to run and set in a cool place, but it’s also a reasonable and achievable goal to set for yourself,” says Rebecca. “It consists of a 14 week training period which we’ll be doing as part of the Nike Run Club, so even someone who hasn’t run before can do it too. It also offers those who can’t get to the training sessions the chance to download the program too so that they can do it wherever they like.
“We also have other great women’s events happening later on in the year, so keep checking Nike Women online and Facebook where you’ll be able to sign up for them.
“Furthermore, there are also regular 5K park runs that are held every month in most major parks around the country. They’re a great starting point and a great way to work on your 5K PB say if you’re hoping to run a marathon, as the best way to get quicker is to practice over shorter distances.”
For exclusive race courses and training experiences, also check out the NikeWomen Victory Tour and inspire your inner athlete at the largest event series for women.
11. Treat your workout wardrobe like you would your work wardrobe
You know how a new pair of heels has the magical ability to boost your confidence? Well, the same applies to your fitness gear. Even if that baggy old T-shirt and pair of 10-year-old joggers are the most comfortable things on earth, they wouldn’t give you a confidence boost in the boardroom and they certainly wouldn’t do so in the gym either. “There’s nothing wrong with having ‘all the gear and no idea,’” says Jessica Skye. “Get some good-looking kit that you feel great in and is appropriate for your workout – the right type of shoe, supportive bra and things you’ll feel proud to be seen in.”
With a wider choice of sportswear available to suit a whole roster of bodies and budgets than ever before, there’s no better time to give your workout wardrobe a subtle but noticeable update than now - start by investing in a handful of key staples, such as a great pair trainers, some statement leggings or the right sports bra.

Shraddha Arya is one of the most well-known actresses in the television business. She not only entertains her viewers and followers on television, but she also maintains their interest on social media by regularly letting them inside both her personal and professional lives. Speaking of which, Shraddha and her husband Rahul Nagal recently shared a goofy yet lovely throwback video.
Rahul and she can be seen seated next to each other on a couch in their home in the video that Shraddha released. On her home karaoke system, the actress can be seen belting out Ali Sethi's well-known song Pasoori as Rahul rested with his palm resting on his forehead. Shraddha was clearly enjoying herself annoying him in the video.
Sharing the post, she captioned it, “I Miss Annoying Him.. Especially, When I Haven’t Seen Him In Days. P.S - I think He Regretted getting me a Home Karaoke. Lol.”
Recently, the actress posted a hilarious video outlining Mumbaikars' present situation. Mumbai's residents are reaping the benefits of the rain and the pleasant weather as the city enters the much-anticipated monsoon season. In a humorous video, Shraddha can be seen hopping over little potholes and heading for her vanity van.
She is renowned for her standout appearances in programmes as Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki, Tumhari Paakhi, Dream Girl, Kumkum Bhagya, and Kundali Bhagya. For her role as Preeta in Kundali Bhagya, which she has played for a while now, Shraddha receives a lot of appreciation from the audience.
For those who are unaware, Shraddha wed Rahul Nagal, a navy officer, on November 16 in Delhi. The pair recently celebrated seven wonderful months of marriage.

The social media banter between Michael Vaughan and Wasim Jaffer is one of the most entertaining things for cricket fans, however, as India and England face off in the 5th Test at Edgbaston, the duo have further upped the ante.
Recently, Jaffer hit back at Vaughan after the latter had put out a tweet comparing Rishabh Pant to Jonny Bairstow as the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman scored a century.
On Day 3, Bairstow also scored a century and after that Jaffer took a sly dig at his buddy Vaughan by tweeting that Bairstow had done a 'Rishabh Pant' rather than the other way around.

Ahead of the fifth and final day of the Edgbaston Test, with England on top, Vaughan sensed the opportunity to poke fun at Jaffer.
This is great viewing .. @RishabhPant17 doing a Jonny B … #ENGvIND — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) July 1, 2022
While the Three Lions had gotten off to a spectacular start in their chase courtesy of Zack Crawley and Alex Lees' 107-run stand for the first wicket, England then suffered a collapse of sorts as they lost three wickets in quick intervals which put them under pressure.
One Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow were in the middle they played counterattacking knocks to take the wind out of India's sails. The pair of them put together a 150-run stand on Day 4, with England needing just 119 runs in a record chase.

India on the other hand need seven wickets on the final day to win the Test and record their first-ever Test series win on English soil since 2007.
Thus, Vaughan tagged Jaffer on Twitter and asked him if he was nervous after the Root and Bairstow show, but the former Indian opener came up with a hilarious 'Jethalal' inspired reply.
Check out their banter below:
#ENGvIND https://t.co/b3nsXQE7Vi pic.twitter.com/G0GMTKK9lm — Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) July 4, 2022
England's highest successful run chase came in 2019 when they reached a 359-run target in an Ashes test against Australia on the back of Stokes's brilliant unbeaten century.

The first poster and the first look of Megastar Chiranjeevi's next film GodFather were revealed on Monday, July 4. The political thriller, also featuring Salman Khan in a pivotal cameo, is scheduled to release in cinemas on Dussehra 2022. Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan, who has gained nationwide fame after starring in SS Rajamouli's blockbuster RRR, also reacted to his father's first look from the film.
Sharing the poster and the YouTube link on his Twitter handle, Charan wrote, "THE #GodFather has arrived !!". His post instantly went viral on the micro-blogging platform.
THE #GodFather has arrived !! #GodFatherFirstLook : https://t.co/PYxtK9MCE5@KChiruTweets @BeingSalmanKhan @jayam_mohanraja #Nayanthara @MusicThaman @AlwaysRamCharan @ProducerNVP @SuperGoodFilms_ @KonidelaPro @saregamasouth pic.twitter.com/DQulIAsMWX — Ram Charan (@AlwaysRamCharan) July 4, 2022
Well, apart from his father Chiranjeevi leading the film, Ram Charan also has another major connection with the film as he has produced the Mohan Raja directorial under his banner Konidela Production Company. R. B. Choudhary has also co-produced the film under his company Super Good Films.
READ | GodFather: Chiranjeevi's first look from Telugu remake of Mohanlal's Lucifer breaks the internet
For the unversed, GodFather is the official Telugu remake of Mohanlal's superhit 2019 Malayalam film Lucifer which also starred Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, and Indrajith Sukumaran in prominent roles with the Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi playing the main antagonist in his Mollywood debut.
The original film was helmed by the superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran in his directorial debut, who also starred in the film in a crucial cameo and it is said that Salman Khan will reprise the Jana Gana Mana actor's role in the remake. While Manju Warrier was the leading lady in Lucifer, Nayanthara is the leading lady in its Telugu remake.
Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan shared screen space in the action-drama Acharya recently. The Kortala Siva directorial was released in cinemas on April 29 and turned out to be a box office failure. And thus, there is tremendous buzz regarding the legendary superstar's upcoming film.

Newly appointed Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde delivered his first speech in the state Assembly on Monday, and it was nothing short of emotional. During his speech, Shinde choked up while describing the hardships faced by him and his family.
During his speech, Eknath Shinde revealed that he almost became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra when Shiv Sena had entered into an alliance with Congress and NCP but declined the post after objections were raised within the party.
Further, he alleged that threats and warnings were issued to his family when he decided to rebel against former Maharashtra CM and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. Shinde talked about how his children and his mother had died years ago and broke down during his speech.
The Maharashtra CM said in the Assembly, “They attacked my family...My father is alive, my mother died. I could not give much time to my parents. They would be asleep when I came and would go to work when I slept.”
Eknath Shinde further said, “I could not give much time to my son Shrikant. My two children died - at the time, Anand Dighe consoled me. I used to think, what is there to live for? I will stay with my family.”
Shinde revealed that Anand Dighe told him to wipe his tears away, and also those of others. Crediting Dighe for his win in the recent rebellion, the Maharashtra CM said, “He helped me recover and made me the leader of the Shiv Sena in the Assembly.”
While Shinde’s oldest son is an MP in the Shiv Sena, his two younger children – an 11-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter – died in a boating accident while visiting their native village in 2000.
While speaking about the rebellion he staged with the majority of Shiv Sena MLAs, Eknath Shinde said that the fallout was necessary as he felt humiliated and insulted over an election result, and had to act.
Shinde, during his speech, said, “I started getting calls and people started joining me. Uddhav Thackeray phoned me and asked me where I am going, I said I don't know. He asked me when I would return, I said I don't know...I decided that I was willing to sacrifice myself but I would act.”

Eager to learn how to meditate but don’t know where to start? As a new study reveals that anyone can benefit from mindfulness and meditation (with a little practice) in order to cope better with emotional situations, we asked a pro about her top meditation techniques for staying mindful and present when life gets particularly stressful.
Psychologist, Buddhist and Get The Gloss Expert Elaine Slater has been a long-term advocate of the benefits of meditation for nearly twenty years. So in order to see how we could incorporate it into our lives too, we asked Elaine for her guide to meditation to help us take the first steps in developing our own practices. From what it is to the correct breathing techniques to how it can better equip us to deal with stress and anxiety, this is one daily ritual we’ll be glad to add to our to-do lists.
What is meditation?
Meditation is a systematic technique to draw the attention powerfully within to experience a settled state of human awareness and a fundamental unity at the basis of mind and matter.
When you practice a focussed set of techniques, that which remains when everything else has disappeared is meditation. When your perception of the body, thoughts, emotions and breath has faded and only consciousness remains without an object, that state is called meditation.
What are the benefits of meditation?
Meditation techniques offer an approach that can be practised by people from all walks of life to help them cope with health problems, anxiety, emotional issues and the stresses associated with living fast-paced and pressurised lives. The techniques are designed to promote relaxation, build internal energy and develop patience, forgiveness, generosity, compassion, love and unfold the full potential of life.
The fundamental meditation principles of quiet thought, contemplation and reflection offer an antidote to hectic 21st century living through the expansion of an indestructible sense of wellbeing whilst engaging in any life activity.

What are the different types of meditation?
There are some basic, fundamental differences among the kinds of meditation practices and these differences ought to be carefully considered while you’re deciding what is right for you. In order to be successful, meditation needs to be simple, comfortable, and offer results and benefits that make you want to keep practicing every day.
Some of the most common meditation techniques are:
- Mindfulness
- Transcendental meditation
- Qi Gong
- Buddhist meditation
- Guided visualisation
- Kundalini yoga
- Breath meditation
What are the different types of breathing?
There are three types of breathing:
- Clavicular breathing: a breath that comes from high up in the shoulders and collarbones – it is associated with anxiety and stress.
- Chest breathing: a breath located in the centre of the chest.
- Abdominal breathing:a breath that comes from the belly known as diaphragmatic breathing – associated with relaxation and calm.
MORE GLOSS: 5 ways to master mindfulness (even when you don’t have time)
Conscious diaphragmatic breathing
Conscious diaphragmatic breathing is extremely relaxing and a way of maximising the amount of oxygen that goes into the bloodstream. It activates the vagus nerve that comes from the brain and controls the part of the autonomic nervous system known as the parasympathetic nervous system; responsible for healing, repair and renewal of the body. It is a proven way of interrupting the “fight or flight” stress response triggered by the sympathetic nervous system and rebalancing the autonomic nervous system.
When you take a deep breath, relax and expand your diaphragm, your vagus nerve is stimulated, instantly turning on the parasympathetic nervous system; reducing levels of cortisol and other stress hormones. In addition, activating the vagus nerve can stimulate stem cells to produce new cells to repair and rebuild your internal organs and heal your brain.
How to master diaphragmatic breathing
- This deep breathing is marked by an expansion of the abdomen rather than the chest when breathing.
- Deep breathing or belly breathing is achieved by contracting the diaphragm, a muscle located between the chest and stomach.
- Allow the breath to flow continuously, with no pause allowed between breaths.
1. Sit comfortably in an upright position.
2. Breathe in through the nose for the count of four. Breathe with the diaphragm, allowing the ribs to slightly flare out to the sides, while the shoulders, upper chest and abdomen remain motionless.
3. The breath must remain consistent and smooth, allowing no jerkiness or irregularities to disturb the steady flow.
4. Breathe at a comfortable depth; deeply not shallow, but also not exaggerating the depth.
5. Feel the breath expand in the belly – like a Buddha belly.
6. Slowly release the breath and exhale through the mouth for the count of six as if you were blowing out a candle.
7. Repeat this process for five minutes morning and evening.

The Rajasthan police cracked down on the people sharing the gruesome video and visuals of the murder of Kanhaiya Lal Sahu, a tailor who was murdered in Udaipur by two Muslim men. Five people were arrested in separate cases in Rajasthan's Hanumangarh district on Monday, as per the cops.
The people were arrested for allegedly circulating the video of the Udaipur tailor murder, and posting photos and videos with arms on social media, as per PTI reports. The Rajasthan Police had asked people not to share the video of the June 28 killing.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Ajay Singh said that Sirajuddin Hussain (36) was arrested in Hanumangarh town for circulating the video of the Udaipur murder.
The SP further said Tarsem Puri was arrested by Sangaria police station personnel, Rajkumar Jat and Mohammad Shakur by Sadar police station personnel, and Pavan Kumar by Nohar police station personnel for uploading photos and videos on social media with arms with an intention to create terror among people.
Kanhaiya Lal Sahu, a tailor with a shop in Udaipur, was brutally murdered in broad daylight inside his own shop by two Muslim men. The two assailants had also filmed the gruesome act and posted the video of the murder on social media.
The Udaipur tailor was hacked to death in the video, and the two assailants were also seen showing their blood-stained weapons in the short clip. The two attackers, Riaz Akhtari and Gos Mohammad had killed Sahu to avenge an “insults to Islam”.
Four people, including Akhtari and Mohammad, have been arrested in connection with Kanhaiya Lal's murder. They are in the custody of the National Investigation Agency.
According to preliminary investigations, it was being said that the two Muslim attackers were angered over a social media post that Kanhaiya Lal had shared, supporting former BJP leader Nupur Sharma, who was embroiled in controversy after she made remarks against Prophet Muhammad.

Bakraid is one of the most auspicious festivals for Muslims across the globe. The festival is celebrated about two months after Eid-ul-Fitr, which comes at the end of the month of Ramzan.
Muslims celebrate Bakrid by making a sacrifice of cattle. It can be a goat, a sheep, camel or buffalo, depending on what a person can afford.
The festival of Bakrid is also called as Bakri Eid, Eid Qurban, Eid al-Adha or Qurban Bayarami.
Date of Bakrid 2022
This year, the festival of Bakrid will be celebrated on July 10 by Muslims in India.
History of Bakrid 2022
The festival of Bakrid or Eid al-Adha is celebrated for three days all over the world. The auspicious day honours the willingness of Prophet Abraham who, when asked by God to sacrifice a thing dearest to him, willingly sacrificed his son Ismail.
According to religious texts, God was then pleased with the readiness of Abraham and the courage and faith of Ismail. He replaced the boy with a ram which was later sacrificed by a blindfolded Prophet Abraham.
God gave Abraham a male goat to sacrifice as a substitute of his son. He ordered the male goat to be divided into three parts, which were distributed among the poor, friends and families and the last part was kept by Abraham’s family.
Significance of Bakrid 2022
Eid-ul-Adha is known to mark the end of Hajj, which is the popular pilgrimage that Muslims take to the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The Hajj pilgrimage is performed as per the instructions laid down by Prophet Muhammad. The instructions are the re-enactments of the sacrifices and obedience of Prophet Abraham to God.
Muslims observe the pilgrimage to seek spiritual blessings and get rid of all previous sins.
Towards the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, Muslims gather at Mount Arafat to offer day-long prayers from Quran. The Mount Arafat holds great significance in Islam as it is believed to be the place where Prophet Mohammed gave his last sermon.

Popular television celebrity Nia Sharma often makes headlines for various things. Be it her personal life or professional life, she never fails to grab attention. Her rumoured relationship with Rrahul Sudhir is one such hot topic that is always under the scanner.
Nia Sharma finally reacted to her dating rumours with Rrahul Sudhir while speaking to Siddharth Kannan. She got emotional while talking about her early days in Mumbai. She shared her ‘shittiest’ experience of staying in PGs. The actress also revealed that she doesn’t believe in showing off on social media, her brother advised her to be her own.
On being asked about Rrahul, the actress said that she will not pretend that she doesn’t know him as she liked him and he was like her buddy. They are very good friends, but she is unsure about what people want to hear about them as there is no love angle and no wedding is happening. She also asked the host to ask same question to Rrahul Sudhir.
Fans reacted to the interview, one of them wrote, “This is such an interesting conversation.

Elle on overall health
ST: What is your view on healthy living?
EM: I’ve been interested in wellness for such a long time and my experiences have meant I have experimented with a lot of things and got advice from different doctors from all round the world. One top thing I have learnt is that we focus way too much on calories and fat proportions, and the weight on the scales, and in my opinion we need to know how the cells are functioning rather than how many calories you consume - that’s an empty indication of how well you are.
I have realised that being nourished from a cellular level changes everything - my body functions at its optimum level when I really concentrate on that.
ST: You are famous for your body – how do you maintain it on a daily basis?
EM: I block out 50 mins a day to do something for my body – it could be a wrap, going to the gym or a swim. One day I might meditate, another I might write, or I might have a wax. I try to make at least four of them in a week.
Elle on Exercise
ST: Do you have an exercise regime as such?
EM: I don’t train really - I do sport. I really believe that when you combine the fun with the physical benefits it doubles the impact – I waterski, ski, windsurf, paddleboard, swim laps round the reservoir or I go for a run. If I’m in London I go to The Grace in Belgravia as I can combine beauty and fitness there.
When I pick my exercise I choose a sport I love or choose something I want to master – yoga was something I wanted to get better at recently. I also love swimming – when I can, I swim for 50 mins… a combination of breaststroke, sidestroke on the left, sidestroke on the right, then with the kick board, and then breaststroke.
A Day in a Life of Elle
ST: What is a typical day like for you?
EM: I wake up and I lie in bed for about 10 minutes, breathe and set my intention for the day. I don’t read emails or hit the snooze button. I put my hands on my chest and feel my breathing and think about what I want to achieve. Sometimes that might be a tangible thing like running through my to-do list or it might be noting to myself that I must remember to listen more and talk less, or that I must remember to do meditation that day.
I then drink half a litre of water and moisturise my face.
For breakfast I make myself a compote of stewed apples, flax seeds, chia seeds and almonds and I eat it warm. Then I make my kids breakfast and drive them to school, drink my super greens and then I might work out.
I’ll be at my desk at about 10.30 where I make lists and tick them off. I also schedule in the next week so I know what I’m doing this week and next week.
At 1pm I have lunch. I have one veggie meal a day and I love pulses and foods such as quinoa, lentils, beetroots, avocado and sprouts.
Then I go pick up my kids and help them with whatever they need such as taking them to sporting events or helping with their homework.
Eat dinner at 7pm with the kids and I go to bed early (I get up around 5am)
Elle on her Super Supplement
ST: You have created a Super Greens Powder – The Super Elixir – what inspired you to create it?
EM: I went to see Dr. Simone a few years ago and whilst my diet was good, my lifestyle was acidic. I wasn’t drinking enough water, was having way too much coffee, and felt stressed. I was sometimes only getting 3-4 hours sleep a night and not eating 3 meals a day. I was running on empty and doing it anyway. I thought to myself ‘If only I could create one product that could help.’
People talk about calories and nutrition, but I believe that the biggest cause of ageing and sickness today is a highly acidic body. When people have cancer, doctors tell them to eat in an alkaline way as research shows that cancer doesn’t feed on acidity – so we know it’s something that works.
I started to explore this idea with Doctor Simone who believes that this is the optimum state for the body to function at its best, and so I asked her to formulate the ultimate supergreens formula.
ST: Can you describe to me what this supplement does?
EM: The Super Elixir helps with digestion, skin and reducing acidity levels and helps with the 11 systems of the body. I have two teaspoons in coconut water daily (do not take it close to drinking caffeine as this reduces the effect). Containing a lot of super greens, it balances the acidity in the skin and the blood, making the skin hold more moisture and giving a radiant glow. Containing horsetail and dandelion it reduces toxins in the body and helps your digestion function optimally, as it does the kidneys which therefore reduces dark circles so you look less tired. Another benefit is that it contains kelp and seaweed which are very nutrient rich, and a big source of iodine - this helps with the thyroid operation and helps our metabolism.
The ingredients come from whole foods so your body recognises them so digests and absorbs them easily.
ST: How do you feel when you take it personally?
EM: I think that when your body is supported your beauty shines through. When I take The Super Elixir I have brighter eyes, a flatter stomach, more vitality for exercise and I’m not lethargic. When the body isn’t detoxifying itself properly it can feel sort of squidgy, but when it is, the connective tissue between the body and the skin is smoother, firmer and my stomach is flatter. Plus I don’t crave sugar, I just feel more balanced. I don’t get into a spiral of eating bad things.
Elle on What Really Works
ST: Over your time as a model you must have seen every fitness and health fad going. What do you think is really effective in changing our bodies?
EM: If you want to change your body in one month my suggestion is to drink 3 litres of water a day. If you can, make six half litres and number them one to six. Take them throughout the day - for example number one goes beside bed, number two with breakfast, and so on. Also get 7 hours sleep a night and take my super greens in the morning. If you want to an even greater change then swim for 40 minutes a day.
ST: What is your mantra?
EM: I love the phrase ‘Leave people in a better state than when you found them’!
Susannah also spoke to Dr Simone, Elle’s nutritional doctor and creator of The Super Elixir...
“Elle was a patient of mine and when she came to me, she emptied a bag of supplements on the table and said that she was doing everything she thought she was meant to do and nothing was working. Although her diet was very clean, she is very veggie and she doesn’t eat much gluten, she still felt irritable and tired, her hormones were out of balance, her body was toxic and too acidic. She was very stressed, her wedding was coming up, she had her business to manage and her boys, and her cortisol levels were sky high.
She said to me: “If I do most things right and only have one coffee and a bit of dark chocolate a day and I feel this bad, then what must it be like for everyone else who doesn’t look after themselves?”
"So I got her digestive system functioning correctly and balanced out her protein intake. I put her on a super greens powder and digestive support, immune support and soon her whole body was in balance.
"Having been taking so many supplements Elle wondered why we couldn’t take all this and whack it all into one product that she could take every day. She really wanted to create something that properly worked – the Rolls Royce of supplements if you like.
"The Super Elixir supports all 11 systems of the body. The core goal of the product is to reduce illness, to help support the function of the body, especially for people running at a level of toxicity. The core base of our product is to alkalise the system, so that illness and disease can’t thrive in it.
"When you introduce alkalinity into the body it will increase oxygen to the system and supports natural equilibrium. When the body is too acidic, toxins build up and it will try to come out through the skin or it gets stored stored in fat. The more acidic your system is the less oxygen there is and your blood won’t be as nutritious."
Susannah is going to test The Super Elixir for 30 days. She will have her vitamin and mineral states, her glucose levels, liver markers and metabolism tested pre and post using it and will report back on the results. Watch this space….

Hitting the gym, but not seeing the results you’re aiming for? Your exercises of choice could be to blame.
Let’s be honest, actually getting to the gym can be hard enough but add the frustration of realising what you’re doing just isn’t working and it’s suddenly all the more demotivating. Therefore to ensure we get the most out of our exercise regimes, we asked personal trainer and Director of Communications at Bodyism Tegan Haining for both her words of warning and wisdom when it comes to working out well.
From the right exercises for tackling stress to the ones that tone and target fat loss correctly, never workout in vain again with these fitness tips to hand.
Lose the right kind of pounds
If you’re targeting fat loss but are seeing your readings unchanged, it could be because the exercises you’re doing are targeting the wrong kind of weight. “Doing the wrong kind of exercise can lead to a loss of muscle instead of fat. So while you might feel like you have lost a few kilos, your body fat percentage will remain the same, which can be very disheartening after all your hard work!” explains Tegan.
“This can happen when you only do cardio workouts - maybe running outside or using the machines in the gym. It is the easiest way to move your body and great that you are doing it! But if you want to burn body fat and tighten the tummy and bingo wings, you need to lift some weights 2-3 times per week,” she recommends.
Combat stress with the right exercises
Feeling stressed? Seek out exercises that don’t burden your body further. “When we train we are actually putting a great deal of stress on the body. Combine this with stress from work, relationships and food and we are really beginning to overload the system. The best kind of exercise if you are leading a highly stressed lifestyle might be a strong yoga session - less chanting, more challenging postures so you still feel like you worked out but you have also stretched your body, increased blood flow and reduced your cortisol levels at the same time,” Tegan suggests.
Lift weights
Think weights are just for the boys? Think again. They’re just as integral to us gals too. “Make sure you do at least two sessions a week of resistance training - Pilates, TRX, personal training, bodyweight exercises, whatever it is. This will increase your resting heart rate which is what you need for serious post-workout fat burning,” explains Tegan.
Stay mindful
Getting mentally ready for a gym session is half the battle. Become a master of your exercise gremlins though and you’ll reap the rewards from your workouts tenfold. “Make sure you are present in your training sessions. Leave the problems at home for an hour. Think about the muscles you are using and give 100%,” says Tegan.
One of the most difficult skills to perfect in our experience, we’ve found seeing our workouts as essential ‘me time’ definitely helps. Our top tip to make sure you never miss a session? Put them in your diary and treat them like meetings - to be moved only in the most pressing of situations.
Blitz the bulk
Afraid of looking too muscle-y? Technique and variety are key. “Isolating muscles or only doing one type of exercise or sport will usually lead to the ‘bulking up’ of those particular muscles that are focussed on. Take tennis players for example, they tend to have one arm slightly more defined than the other due to repetitive dominant use,” says Tegan.
“Getting lean requires functional movement. Choose exercises that challenge the whole body to develop lean muscles all over and become a more proficient fat-burning machine. Think a blend of yoga, Pilates, TRX, and interval training,” she adds. “At Bodyism I like to blend all of these influences into one session.”
Eat your way to a slimmer you
“To lose fat, diet is key,” explains Tegan.
“You need to be eating a diet rich in protein, healthy fats and nutrient dense carbohydrates. Carbs are super important for energy levels and for fighting sugar cravings. But portion control is key here. Try keeping your carb intake to two tablespoons a day. Try sweet potato, quinoa or brown rice added to salads, stir fries or an excellent side dish to some grilled fish with lemon. Stay off the sugar completely. It turns into fat that gets stored on your belly…hello the overhang on your jeans!!”

Treat fitness as a marathon, not a race
With New Year’s resolutions now in full swing, our good intentions could cause us to risk injury in the quest for a slimmer waistline. After all, exercise can be pretty addictive, we’ve all been there. However, keeping your focus on the long and not the short-term will ensure you act in the best interests of both your body and 2015 goals. “Start small. It’s great you have a new plan to be fitter than you ever dreamed in 2015 but you need to build a strong foundation in order to succeed,” cautions Tegan.
“Smashing yourself 5 times a week in January is great if you can keep it up. But most of the time by mid-Feb your body is exhausted, your knee or shoulder is playing up or you’re starting to balk at the money you are investing into your programme. Life’s a long game. I always tell my clients 2-3 times per week for the rest of your life is better than 7 days a week for 3 months.”
Now that’s one realistic fitness mantra we should all live by.

Mexico's Roman Catholic Council of Bishops is calling on parishes throughout the country to put photos of dead nuns and priests in their churches this Sunday and to hold Masses for all those killed in gang-fueled violence.
Monday's call for special celebrations throughout July came after two Jesuit priests and a tour guide were murdered June 20. Another priest says he was beaten over the weekend in the violence-plagued western state of Michoacan. On June 24, the Council of Bishops issued an open letter telling the government that "it is time to revise the security policies that are failing."
Rev. Mateo Calvillo wrote in an open letter that men traveling in another vehicle cut off his car, forcing him to stop and that one of them came around to his window and beat him savagely. The priest said he knew of no motive for the June 29 attack in the town of Querendaro, saying the man appeared irrational.
As the Associated Press reported, the two murdered priests — Rev. Javier Campos, 79, and Rev. Joaquín Mora, 80 — had spent much of their lives serving Indigenous peoples of the Sierra Tarahumara mountains. The Jesuits were shot to death in the small church in the town of Cerocahui.

Psychology research published this year from universities in Florida and Tennessee shows the LGBTQ+ student experience has evolved in the past decade. Not only have social attitudes toward the community shifted, but school policies are changing to foster a more inclusive environment. However, LGBTQ+ advocates say there's still work that needs to be done.
David Shill grew up going to school in Arizona and Utah.
"I wasn't out to myself," Shill said. "I was very much in the closet, like I hadn't really realized that I was queer."
He says he didn't discover his authentic self until two years ago because he says the schools that he went to didn't support the LGBTQ+ community.
"Some students wanted to get together some support for other queer students," Shill said. "And this is a super, super conservative high school. And I just thought it was the most insane thing."
He says it wasn't until he left home that he progressively became more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community and aware of his own gay identity.
"Opened a whole world," Shill said. "And it felt like I finally got to be human and finally got to be like a person to 100% of my ability."
Now he's on the front lines of trying to instill change so future students can feel comfortable being themselves as they journey through school.
"We're trying to make an LGBT People's Resource Center," Shill said.
LGBTQ+ activist and leadership expert Ash Beckham trains institutions on how to be more inclusive and says there's been a push in the past decade to make schools a place where LGBTQ+ students can thrive by offering resources to staff and administration in addition to students.
"It was maybe more individualized to give them resources that they needed to cope," Beckham said. "And I feel like the change now, at least in the systems and the school practices where it's been most effective, is really a broader understanding that it isn't about the individual LGBTQ student that's still obviously the center and the focus, but really, it's about allyship and building a community where that student can feel like they belong."
Moving forward, Beckham says schools need to include the LGBTQ+ experience in the curriculum.
"Can we highlight that there are people that are not straight white men that are scientists?" Beckham said. "That there are LGBTQ people, that there are people of color. It's that representation. And 'what can my life look like?'"
She says if staff and teachers disclose pronouns, it signals to LGBTQ+ students that they're in a safe space, that they have allies, and the school is willing to have conversations about inclusion.
"The fluidity of gender and sexuality now is certainly different than what I went through high school," Beckham said. "And so I think as staff and administrators, there's a willingness to kind of live in that ambiguity and gray which can be uncomfortable. But that's the best way because you're never going to get ahead of it. You have to be willing to kind of meet that change where it is and and and pivot enough to to be able to expand what you're inclusive inclusion initiatives look like."
Shill says there are many actions schools can do to be more welcoming. Like having private changing stalls and gender-neutral bathrooms in locker rooms.
"The locker room is typically the worst nightmare for gay people because they it's like when you have to be the most in the closet," Shill said.
He also says universities need to consider a more unique housing approach for people who feel uncomfortable living with the same sex.
Both Shill and Beckham understand it's a learning process, but the past 10 years are proof that change can happen.
"I am really hopeful that we'll figure it out," Shill said. "I think it'll go faster if we have good laws coming from the states and the federal government."

Has Joe Wicks given you a taste for high intensity exercise? His energy is enough to turn any couch potato into a fitness freak, but when time is short we know it's not always easy to fit fitness in. Work, life, family, finances – exercise can easily slip down the to-do list. However, as the latest research shows, when it comes to fitness quality over quantity always wins out thanks to the concept of HIIT (i.e. high intensity interval training ).
Sound intriguing? Here, Joe Wicks aka The Body Coach, explains the ins and outs of HIIT, to help you fit fitness into even the busiest of schedules.
What are the benefits of HIIT workouts?
“It’s over fast! You get up, do twenty minutes of HIIT and BOSH – you’re done for the day! Who has the time to spend hours in the gym? No one. Do a HIIT and get on with your day.”

How can it possibly be more beneficial than an hour’s run or workout?
“It’s simple: it’s over quickly and it makes you more lean! HIIT workouts burn calories for up to 18 hours after you’ve finished, but low intensity workouts just burn calories when you’re working out. This way, you get to exercise less, get more lean, and get on with doing other stuff in your day.”
How many times per week do you need to do it to feel benefits?
“Four to five times a week is what works best for me, but make sure you take your rest days seriously. Getting lean is a journey, it doesn’t just happen overnight, so make sure you challenge yourself by smashing out a mix of cardio and resistance over the week.”

How would you structure a session if doing it at home? Any good moves to try?
“The best thing about HIIT is that you can do it anywhere! At home, in a hotel room if you’re travelling – you can even try it in the office. You can choose from a huge range of moves at home, depending on how much space you have. You could smash out mountain climbers, high knees, squat taps and even the dreaded burpees (sorry!) for a great HIIT workout. Make sure you warm up first and have a 1:2 ratio for work:rest in your HIIT – then go and cool down, make yourself a build up bagel and you’re all set for the day.”
What's the best way to recover from the session?
“Make sure you carb up after doing a HIIT workout to refuel your body. You might feel a bit sore, but just think of it as the first step on your journey to getting lean!”

What keeps you motivated?
“I love helping people who hate exercise so I can help them and show them the benefits. I love working with people who have been struggling with diets as I can show them how to achieve their goals in a more realistic way and more achievable way. I am on a mission to get the world lean! I love reading the testimonials and seeing the transformations from people around the world who I have helped, it is an unbelievable feeling!
“When I started my social media accounts, I just loved it and I was having fun so I didn’t need any great motivation as it didn’t feel like work - I was just sharing content that I loved. Every time I made a meal it was a chance to share another recipe, I did not like missing any opportunity to post so I would literally record every meal I cooked.”

A federal judge has ruled in favor of three major U.S. drug distributors in a landmark lawsuit filed in West Virginia. Judge David Faber issued the ruling on Monday nearly a year after closing arguments were held in a bench trial in a lawsuit filed by Cabell County and the city of Huntington.
The suit accused AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson of causing a health crisis by distributing 81 million pills over eight years in a county ravaged by opioid addiction. Faber says that while the opioid crisis has taken a considerable toll, such cases should be decided on the facts and the law, not sympathy.
“The opioid crisis has taken a considerable toll on the citizens of Cabell County and the City of Huntington. And while there is a natural tendency to assign blame in such cases, they must be decided not based on sympathy, but on the facts and the law,” U.S. District Judge David Faber wrote in the 184-page ruling. “In view of the court’s findings and conclusions, the court finds that judgment should be entered in defendants’ favor.”

Back in May, when summer was approaching, I (like most people) rushed to the gym for a quick tone up. I hot-footed it to the KX gym in Draycott Avenue in Chelsea for one of one of Paola Di Lanzo's PBB Cardio Barre classes. It’s a fast-paced, high intensity routine which fuses HIIT with functional training and ballet-inspired movements. The Italian-Australian Barre specialist is a mother of three (unbelievable if you see her fantastically toned physique) which must have earned her the patience of a saint while teaching. She has gained quite a following with the ‘It Fit’ squad; Millie Macintosh dedicated pages to Paola in her book Made , model Amber Le Bon visits her classes on the regular at her beautiful Fulham studio, Paola’s Bodybarre . Her method is a mix of barre, kickboxing and pilates. I usually see results pretty quickly.
One day after class, Paola mentioned she was teaching on a retreat in Mykonos run by super yogini Danai Kougiouli, who completed the Jivamukti Yoga teacher training in New York. I have always wanted to go on a retreat and what better place than on the epically stunning island of Mykonos.
The next thing I knew I was booking an easyJet and packing my Lycra. It was the first trip I had made where I knew no one. On morning of the flight, I was having second thoughts. As much as I loved fitness, I wasn't sure I could take something as intense as this, especially when I didn’t know a soul.
These concerns were quickly erased when I arrived at a beautiful villa overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Aegean and was greeted by an uber-zen Danai, who was heavily pregnant (not surprisingly, she wasn’t teaching on this retreat). Danai founded the Light in Mykonos yoga retreats in 2012. As part of the Luminous Club (a group of like-minded yoga teachers), she runs retreats and classes around the world. Yoga is something that I am learning to enjoy - it doesn’t come that naturally to me. I take a class from time to time and use it more as a way to unwind mentally. I find it usually helps clear my head.
Danai’s aim is to ensure that guests have a meaningful and even life-changing yoga experience. Whether it’s a yoga and fitness retreat, or a retreat based around a specific style of yoga that she is hosting, she works with only the best instructors, who she is proud to endorse.
Being Greek herself and having spent time on the island growing up, Danai was eager for people to fall in love with Mykonos in the same way that she did. Six years ago began running retreats. The idea was to connect people with a deeply transformative yoga practice combined with fitness, but for it still to feel like a holiday. She told me that guests on the Light in Mykonos retreats always seemed to form new friendships, which extended beyond their time on the island. This was definitely true for me. I made so many wonderful new friends from all over the world (there were around 20 of us in total). Some of Paola's fans had flown over from Australia, America and London. We all ended up hanging out together going to the beach or Mykonos town for sunset cocktails and a delicious dinner.
I was only able to stay for four days of the seven-day retreat, but threw myself into the early morning starts with an 8.30am session with Paola outside in the shade on the terrace overlooking the stunning view of the sea and the Greek landscape. Each morning, the class was different and focused on all areas of the body.
Paola is the most inspiring teacher; she remembers everything about each student and modifies the exercises where needed. Her gentle yet encouraging style and infectious energy are inspiring. She always has a killer playlist too, which helps. Using two-pound weights, resistance bands, pilates balls and circles, she constantly mixes up the routine. Her signature move - the kickboxing ballerina - will set your abs on fire.
After an hour’s class, we would take a ten-minute water break and go straight into yoga with Natasha Kerry . At the group’s request we focused Yin yoga - also known as sleep yoga. Yin involves holding a series of poses for long periods in order to maximise their effect. We requested this after Natasha introduced it, as we all fell in love with the deep relaxation in brought on. We were all also exhausted from Paola’s class so Yin was the perfect follow-on.
Natasha is so passionate about yoga - you can’t not be infected by her enthusiasm. My practice definitely improved under her guidance. I was able to discover some great yoga stretches that loosened up my legs, removing any pain from Paola’s intense workout. I also learned a lot more about the importance of breath - during a slow practice such as Yin, it’s easier to concentrate on getting the breath right. Natasha’s focus is on doing the poses correctly rather than rushing through them. She also allows you a chance to dedicate your practice to something or someone, which I found a really beautiful way of thanking the world as well as connecting the mind and body. We have so much to be thankful and grateful for and we never stop to think about it - so this was a powerful chance for reflection.
Yin is a great way to stretch after an intense workout, not to mention unwind and relax - perfect for people who suffer with any anxiety or stress. On two of my days, Natasha took us for sunset yoga on the beach, which was truly magical. Yin is a new type of class for me and something I am incorporating into my wellbeing routine back home. It helped with my sleep and is good for people who suffer with any sleep issues.
Straight after yoga, we tucked into brunch - a delicious buffet of eggs, avocados, fruits and veggies. The afternoon was ours to do with as we wished, which mainly consisted of relaxing by one of the three pools or having quiet time in our rooms.
Come evening, it was down to us to make our own dinner plans. Many of us went into town where we drank and ate lots and enjoyed ourselves. If you want a retreat where each meal is measured out, this won’t work for you. I preferred this relaxed approach as it gave the feeling of a holiday as well as being a good opportunity to explore the island and all its fantastic restaurants. This is not a retreat where you are made to hike at 6am or are starved, but you do feel the burn and see it a difference just from the two or three classes a day. It was more like a holiday with fitness and had an element of going back to school (in the best possible way).
The accommodation is no-frills but very comfortable – your room is basic with air conditioning, it’s cleaned every day and supplied with fresh towels. You need to book your own flights, rent your own car to travel into town and the beach and organise your daytime and dinner. The vibe was positive and friendly and I have taken away many new friendships. Teachers such as Paola and Natasha are unique – and after all the hard work you know there's a cocktail waiting for you in town later. All in all, the perfect retreat for me.
Five things I took away from the retreat
1. I try to take a barre class with Paola once a week even if it’s just watching one of her videos at home on YouTube. You don’t need very much space or equipment to do them, so perfect for someone whose always traveling or has little space or equipment .
2. I learned to push myself. There were times when the heat and exhaustion almost got the better of me, but thanks to my teachers and classmates, I pushed on and saw the results.
3. I learned to breathe deeply. Yin yoga has helped me to control my breath during exercise or times of stress.
4. I rediscovered the fun of working out. Once you turn something that is a chore into something fun, it becomes much more pleasant. I’ve stopped watching the clock!
5. Gratitude. I feel truly grateful for the experience remind myself of that when I’m in my office knee deep in T-shirts and sorting boxes or stuck in a traffic jam.

(WOWK) — As people head back to work after the July 4th holiday, storms also return to the forecast. With all of the heat and humidity in place, the storms could be strong to severe.
Models indicate a “northwest flow” scenario in which storms form in the Midwest, turn in to squall lines of storms and move to the southeast across our area with strong winds, heavy downpours and the chance for storm damage.
The severe weather risk outlook area for Tuesday is very broad as models are having a hard time pinning down the exact region where storms will form. That’s because a projected line of storms could form a secondary area of storms due to the cool outflow from the initial storms, adding lift of the warm, humid air in place. That can easily form storms that would not necessarily show up on a weather model so the area that needs to be watched closely Tuesday is very broad. The slight risk is the second out of 5 categories on the severe weather risk scale.
The tornado risk is not high but it is not zero either. Wind is the top risk for severe storms on Tuesday.
Wednesday features a few more chances for severe storms with models showing a few rounds of storms that would come by in rounds.
Wind once again is the top risk for severe storms on Wednesday.
We should remain very flexible on timing for these rounds of storms as Nature can speed up or slow down their arrival in this setup.
Download and use the StormTracker 13 weather app. Enable location services and all alert types in the Storm Alert section of the app so you know when storms are approaching. It’s free and you can grab it by clicking on the link directly below.

Three years ago I was Just. Plain. Knackered. I had a full-on job (at the time I was in the process of building what is now Get the Gloss), I commuted into London three days a week from Oxfordshire, and I had two kids under 5. Each day was a juggle of (in no particular order) school bags, copywriting, washing, deadlines, tantrum management, homework, editing, beauty shoots and sweaty, crammed train journeys. Every day I would wake up more tired than the night before, my head and body feeling as if they were filled with thick cement. I decided if I was going to juggle all this (and just for the record, I want to do it all - I love being a mum but I also love my job) I would need to do something drastic in order to cope.
Speaking to my most sporty friend Ruth over my third glass of wine one night was a revelation. She told me how horrendous she feels if she doesn’t exercise - she promised I’d have more energy and would be better able to cope with stress if I got fit - something I hadn’t really done since school (save a yearly failed gym membership and a few downward dogs while pregnant). It would be nice, also, to say hello to my stomach muscles again before I died.
With barely time to wash my hair every week let alone exercise, I decided the easiest thing for me to do was to run – no equipment, no car journey to get there, just me, my trainers and some running gear (more of that later). There’s a lane outside my house and I decided that I had no excuse not to go down it. My first outing (I call it an outing because it really wasn’t a run) was HIDEOUS. The lane is about half a mile long and I stopped, gasping for breath half way down it, my legs buckling, my heart pounding out of my chest, my throat in such pain I told my husband I thought I had tonsillitis. I couldn’t believe how unfit I was – how the hell did anyone run a mile, let alone a 26-mile marathon?
GTG’s editor was an exercise phobic, January-only-gym-joiner until about three years ago. This is the story of her tough, muddy, sometimes bloody journey to fitness
Then, a book landed on my desk at work – Run Fat Bitch Run by Ruth Field. The premise of the book is that running is really frigging hard, but the benefits totally outweigh the pain (weight loss, toning, feelgood factor, de-stressing, cellulite reduction etc.) so you just have to bloody well get on with it. Whatever the excuse - “I can’t run”, “I’m not a natural runner”, “I’m too big boned”, “I’m too weak/thin”, ”I don’t like running” “I have knocked knees”, “I don’t have the time”, “My boobs are too big” - you just have to grit your teeth and get out there and do it. So that’s what I did. On Field’s advice I started jogging at a slower, more manageable pace (vital for the seriously unfit unless you want to die), and within two weeks I was jogging down that lane and back again.

This all coincided with a chance meeting with Freedom2train , a personal training and nutrition company run by Steve Mellor, who moved into our office building at the time. Friendly and unintimidating, Steve trains all sorts from athletes to the seriously unfit, and rather than working in a dingy, harshly lit gym, he trains a lot outside in parks.
The first time Steve dragged me out was not a pretty sight – he had me running, sprinting, planking, running with a tortuous harness on and lunging with a strange contraption called a TRX from a goal post (sounds a bit 50 Shades but believe me it’s nowhere near as fun). I remember panicking that I might throw up all over Steve’s trainers. I seriously would have hailed a taxi back from the park to the office (a ten minute walk) if only I’d had some cash on me. What’s more, I felt horrendous afterwards. Where was the high? The next day, however, while I could barely walk for muscle pain, I felt clear-headed and more energised than I had for months (more blood round the body, more oxygen to the brain, Steve explained). This feeling alone was worth it.
And so, despite not really being able to afford it, and having previously thought personal trainers were just for the excessively rich, I signed up for some more Freedom2train sessions. Plus I started going running more – fitting it in in lunchbreaks, after work or weekends. That was three years ago. One mile slowly (and often agonisingly) became two, then three, then four. At the beginning I often felt I could barely put one foot in front of the other (still do sometimes), other days I felt like I was going backwards, but increasingly I was starting to get breakthrough moments of just being able to run, on really good days I even forgot I was exercising. There were even times I was so overcome with the idea that I was actually getting fit (running up to eight miles) that I would well up with tears of self-pride.
Then, two years ago I snapped a ligament in my right knee and it took me a year of intense rehab to really get over it, for my knee to start to feel fine again. During this time, however I was absolutely determined not to lose my fitness levels so I started learning new skills that didn't involve my legs so much. I learnt to swim properly and I also learnt to box. Boxing has since become one of my favourite ways to exercise, so much so that I have even learnt to box with a pro boxing coach who has a spit 'n' sawdust style gym in Oxfordshire near where I live. One of the key things that keeps me motivated, is mixing it up - last year I trained for and competed in two triathlons and I loved the training as it wasn't hours and hours of just pounding pavements. I have also taken up spinning because of my knee injury too – I’ve learnt to love hardcore exercise.
The best part? Apart from being more energised and less stressed about small things, I actually now have definition in my stomach, as well as never-been-seen-before tone in my arms and legs, (I’m not talking a Madonna here – Freedom2train are about creating long, lean bodies, not Jodie Marsh mega muscles). So now I exercise three to four days a week, two with Steve and once or twice exercising on my own.

As for fitting it in? Run Fat Bitch Run will tell you that getting out and exercising makes you more productive than if you’d sat on your backside for an hour. It’s true – for some reason, post run I can blitz my to-do list in half the time it would normally take.
If you think all this sounds easy, you’ll be disappointed. Getting fit is really really tough. Some days when I’m out, and I feel like I can’t run another step, or I’m pleading with Steve to stop, or my calves are burning, my legs are getting whipped by stinging nettles or my feet are soaked by puddles and wet grass, I could cry. But as Will Smith says in this clip , there are some very important life lessons in running and exercise. Not to mention countless other benefits I’ve noticed – glowing skin, nails growing so fast I can’t keep them short and the amazing “runner’s high”, a feeling of calmness and clarity post exercise that is truly addictive.
I’ve always been someone who believes in hard work, and when it comes to getting fit , you seriously get back what you put in. The harder you exercise, the bigger the high and the greater the result (plus the more carbs you can pack away). I have also learnt that you should never look at someone fit or exercising and dismiss them as 'smug' - as the Olympics showed this summer, that person would have worked seriously seriously hard to get there, so they have every right to feel pleased with themselves. From a non-exerciser, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
My exercise essentials
1. A Bobble , £9.99, (shown in the above image). Hydration is essential for exercise and this is a genius invention of a refillable water bottle with built in filter that lasts up to 300 refills.
2. Run Fat Bitch Run , £5.99. This got me off my backside and taught me that exercise isn’t meant to be easy.
3. Proper running shorts/leggings. I wore some non-sporty shorts on one long run, and suffered some serious chafing on my inner thighs so bad they bled. Remember - sports brands know how to make sportswear without protruding seams or scratchy bits.
4. Invest in a quality pair of trainers. Above anything, it’s not worth scrimping on trainers since they support your entire body. The wrong shoe can cause many problems from the feet right through the body. I was advised to go to runnersneed.com and have my running assessed. I bought Asics trainers which are very much a runner’s shoe and I love them.
5. A quality sports bra. Many friends have confided in me that they won’t exercise because of the bounce factor. In my experience, the best make for sizes A-D are Nike who have 3 different types of support – Light, Medium and High. They also come in racer backs and U (bra) backs. If you are an E or above, try Shock Absorber .
6. The right T-shirts and vests. Unless you are Gisele, I find the most important factor is to find T-shirts and vests that are long enough to cover your stomach when you stretch. Nike vest/T-shirts have this covered as do H&M's fabulous sports range.

FLOYD COUNTY, KY (WOWK) – The Floyd County community continues to grieve following Friday’s tragic shooting.
“I just it’s really heartbreaking,” said Prestonsburg native, Joyce Joseph.
Joseph says, in close-knit Floyd County, everyone is family.
“I can see people on the street now that I’ve known from when I was a little girl,” said Joseph. “From being raised here and they protect each other and that’s what families do. These are more than just officers, these are family and friends to us.”
Floyd County continues to honor and remember Deputy William Petry, Prestonsburg Police Captain Ralph Frasure, Prestonsburg Police Officer Jacob Chaffins and K-9 Drago. All were killed as a result of an ambush at a home in the community of Allen, a normally quiet and peaceful place.
“I just couldn’t fathom seeing what had happened and hearing about what had happened to people in this town,” said Prestonsburg native, Jane Moery. “The communities all love each other and take care of each other here.”
Residents say they are still in shock from the horrific shooting.
“I couldn’t believe that someone could be so cruel to take the lives of people that are trying to save your life,” said Joseph.
Memorials are now growing in Prestonsburg to honor each first responder.
“Never will they be forgotten,” said Joseph. “I mean they will always be in these people’s hearts more than their memory. They’ll be in their heart,” said Joseph.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – There’s one thing most people want to see on the Fourth of July… fireworks.
“You can’t think of the Fourth of July without thinking of fireworks,” said David “Pete” Ferrell, professional concert pyrotechnic.
While many are watching the Regatta firework show from afar, Ferrell, otherwise known as “Pyro Pete,” has other plans.
“Every 2.4 seconds is going to be a shell going off, and that’s fast so it’s just going to be boom, boom, boom, all the way through the show,” Ferrell said.
For 23 years, setting off fireworks has been his job, but he says it hasn’t always been easy.
“A lot of blood, sweat and tears, a lot of bad shows, problems and you learn from those things and pretty soon, you get to where you don’t have problems and mistakes, and everything is good,” Ferrell said.
While it’s not your typical day job, Ferrell has been into fireworks his whole life. Now, so is the whole family.
“The whole family is in it. My oldest son, my youngest son, my wife, everybody is involved in it from the whole family,” Ferrell said. “So, it truly is the Ferrell family fireworks.”
If you’re wondering how he coined the name “Pyro Pete,” he said, “As I got older, all the local fire captains and state fire marshals and everybody because my name was Pete and I was doing Pyro they kind of hung Pyro Pete on me and it stuck.”
With even more fireworks than any other Regatta night, Pyro Pete assures everybody it’s going to be a great show.
“I think everyone really liked the display Saturday night so they’re going to love this one,” Ferrell said.

Many of you will be relieved to hear that this summer is all about the one-piece swimming costume. According to retail analytics firm Edited, swimsuits are selling out three times faster than they did last year, there are 20% more one-piece styles online, whilst the itsy bitsy bikini is down in sales. I'll be honest with you (and I don't mean to offend anyone) but for many years I have seen a ‘one-piece’ as ‘mumsy’ . As a 41 year old mother of two I have refused to wear one until now for fear of feeling old or that my bikini wearing days are over. I have an aversion of ruched middle sections, low cut legs, thick straps and tummy support systems and will wear a bikini I think until I'm 70. However this season the swimsuit has really grown on me - having had a serious style makeover there are now hundreds of beautiful styles to choose from that are elegant, sophisticated and far from something my grandmother might wear.
But which ones can you actually swim in? There’s nothing worse than attempting front crawl (embarrassing enough) only to find everything has fallen out when you get to the other end or you are sporting a grand wedgie as you climb the steps out of the pool.
Out of the twenty or so that I tried, these are the best. Some might break the bank but I’ve also learnt that when it comes to swimming costumes, the price reflects the fabric and quality which can make a hugh difference to holding everything in and keeping it there. Unless you are 18 of course and then you can wear what the hell you like...
The Original Sexy Rashie by Une Piece £116
Best for UV protection, surfing and looking like you mean water business
Flatter ranking: 9/10
Style Stakes: 9/10
Performance Rating: 10/10
Created so you can surf, run around after your kids and swim hard without everything falling out, the sexy ‘Rashie’ as this style is known, is this summer’s ‘It’ swimsuit. I have one and I love it. I would alomost go as far as to say I feel slightly Bond-girl in it. I have very pale skin and over the last few years really got into swimming (I had lessons, that’s another story but now I can actually do front crawl without dying), so it’s perfect for covering me up without me having to slather myself in sticky suncream. I’m not the sort of person to get all ‘Baywatch’ on you, but if you are that way inclined you can lower the zip, however I love it because I feel fun and elegant at the same time. One word on the breast situation – I have to wear a bikini top under mine as there’s not enough support for my ‘girls’. If they could invent one with an inner support I would be most grateful.
The Absolue Swimmer by Reard , £350
Best for looking like a Baywatch babe, holding in your middle and front crawl
Flatter ranking: 8/10
Style Stakes: 8/10
Performance Rating: 8/10
Louis Reard actually invented the bikini back in 1946, naming it after the Bikini atoll in the South Pacific. The brand has recently undergone a makeover and they have some really beautiful designs in amazingly supportive fabrics. The one I tried here is the Absolue Swimmer which has removable soft cups and an elasticated underbust band for holding everything up. Ruched ties on the hips means you can pull the swimsuit higher or lower on the legs depending on your preference and it's made out of a strong fabric that smoothes and flattens the tummy. Perfect for both poolside posing and swimming lengths in, the only downside is the rather eye-watering price – it’s a lot of money to spend on something so small.
Loop Detail Print Swimsuit, £55 The White Company
Best for poolside elegance and a very flattering style
Flatter ranking: 10/10
Style Stakes: 9/10
Performance Rating: 7/10
The White company have always done really elegant, affordable looking swimsuits and this is no exception. It’s free from padded cups which I like because it has a more relaxed, natural style to it and the stitching under the bust holds everything in place no matter what size you are. The double strapped halterneck means everything is hoisted up nicely and when testing it in the pool, everything stayed firmly in place. Stylish, feminine and extremely comfortable this is a great affordable alternative to more expensive options.
The Nordic One-Piece, Perfect Moment , £180
Best for badass watersports, training, bust support and elegant lines
Flatter ranking: 10/10
Style Stakes: 10/10
Performance Rating:10/10
One of the best swimming costumes I’ve tried. Perfect Moment started out life as a high performance but super stylish skiwear brand which has since expanded into swim and surfwear. Using bold, striking designs and durable hi-tech fabrics, every piece is designed to be highly functional and are guaranteed to turn heads on the beach. The Nordic One-Piece is my favourite swimsuit I think of everything I tried. I love the high neck and thin straps and what you can’t see from this picture is that it has a big cut-out hole at the back making it sexy too. With hidden bust support and the perfect cut on the hips (not too 80’s hi-cut, not too frumpy low), it ticks every box. If you want a swimsuit that lasts, and flatters this is worth every penny.
The Glo Swimsuit by Sweaty Betty , £80
Best for swim training, bust support and
Flatter ranking: 7/10
Style Stakes:7/10
Performance Rating: 8/10
Sweaty Betty do a few racer back ‘serious swimmer’ one pieces, but I like this one because it looks elegant but does a functional job too. Simple navy blue with a jolt of neon orange on the halterneck, it’s a very flattering neckline and also includes inbuilt support for the breasts which are kept well in place come backstroke or butterfly which I can't do FYI). Whilst some swimsuits come up short in the body, this one comes up very long, so you might want to choose a size smaller than you think. Finally, one word of criticism – the ruching on the stomach isn’t for everyone, and I feel adds a dose of frump to a beautifully elegant swimsuit.
True North Marea One-Piece by Finisterre , £80
Best for sporty surfer style and physical
Flatter ranking: 8/10
Style Stakes:8/10
Performance Rating: 9/10
Finisterre is a brand I have come across recently that’s born and based in Cornwall and has a huge committment to finding the most sustainable way of making their products. Creating everything from waterproofs to surfwear, most of their swimwear is made using Econyl which is, amazingly, recycled yarn from sources including used fishing nets. The Marea swimming costume I tried is created also using responsibly sourced yarn and it is really very awesome indeed. With a racer back, it also has a big cut out at the back and a zip at the front that not only gives a cool surfer–chick vibe but ensures sure nothing jiggles or makes a break for freedom. Whether you swim lengths, surf the waves, paddle board, or just want to feel stylish but safe in a swimsuit then this is your new best friend.
Aqua/ Plum triangle one piece, Heidi Klein , £150
Best for incredible streamlining, serious style and durability
Flatter ranking: 10/10
Style Stakes:10/10
Performance Rating: 10/10
This swimsuit would win the award for being the most stunning swimsuit I’ve ever tried. Made from tough, durable, double lined fabric (it’s reversible!), you can just feel the quality of it. It manages to smooth and streamline any lumps and bumps and the cross-over back means it won’t budge come backstroke or back flip. A truly beautiful style that I can’t fault. Worth every penny.

Highland Park 4th of July shooting person of interest: Who is Robert Crimo?
CHICAGO - A gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror, police said.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III about five miles north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man's photo and an image of his silver Honda Fit, and warned the public that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Police declined to immediately identify Crimo as a suspect but said identifying him as a person of interest, sharing his name and other information publicly was a serious step.
FBI released photo of Robert E. Crimo, III and a photo of his car and license plate. (FBI)
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
"It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague," Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference.
"I’m furious because it does not have to be this way... while we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly — yes, weekly — American tradition."

Illinois parade shooting suspect: Everything we know
An FBI wanted poster describes Robert E. Crimo III as a thin White male with brown eyes and neck-length brown hair, weighing 120 pounds. The poster also describes his tattoos: "four tally marks with a line through them on his right cheek, red roses and green leaves on his neck, and cursive script above his left eyebrow."
The poster describes him as "armed and dangerous."
Crimo is also known as "Awake the Rapper."
According to his IMDB page, Crimo is a "six foot Hip hop phenom" born on Sept. 20, 2000. "He's the middle child of three and of Italian descent."
Crimo began uploading his music to the internet at age 11, but first gained traction with his 2016 track "By The Pond" featuring Atlas, according to IMDB. His estimated net worth is "$100 thousand."
Crimo is the son of Bob Crimo, president at Bob's Pantry & Deli in Highland Park. According to his Facebook account, the father ran for Highland Park mayor in 2020.
The rapper released a cryptic track called "Are You Awake" on Oct. 15, 2021. The track appears to suggest that Crimo was planning a life-defining act beyond his ability to stop. The video includes drawings of a man aiming a rifle at another person.
A brief timeline of the shooting
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap.
"There’s no safe place," said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III about five miles north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man's photo and an image of his silver Honda Fit, and warned the public that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference "several of the deceased victims" died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. Police have not released details about the victims or wounded.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth victim who was taken to a hospital and died there. One of those killed was a Mexican national, Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter Monday. He said two other Mexicans were wounded.
NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five patients were children.
Temple said 19 of them were treated and discharged. Others were transferred to other hospitals, while two patients, in stable condition, remained at the Highland Park hospital.
The shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m., when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a "high-powered rifle" to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was "very difficult to see." He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
"Very random, very intentional and a very sad day," Covelli said.
More than a dozen police officers on Monday evening surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. A large armored truck, marked "Police Rescue Vehicle," occupied the middle of the road near the residence. Police blockaded roads leading to the home in a tree-lined neighborhood near a golf course, allowing only select law enforcement cars through a tight outer perimeter.
Highland Park is a close-knit community of about 30,000 people located on the shores of Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, with mansions and sprawling lakeside estates that have long drawn the rich and sometimes famous, including NBA legend Michael Jordan, who lived in the city for years when he played for the Chicago Bulls. John Hughes filmed parts of several movies in the city, including "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off," "Sixteen Candles" and "Weird Science."

US reports sharp drop in boating fatalities
The U.S. Coast Guard says boating deaths in the U.S. are dropping despite an increase in the popularity of the recreational activity.
Data released by the agency shows that there were 658 boating fatalities nationwide in 2021, down from the 767 deaths in 2020.
A spokesperson attributed 75 percent of the deaths to boats where operators had not received boating safety instructions.
Despite the prevalence of hazardous boating conditions caused by the weather, the agency said that most incidents happen when waters are calm, and there is good visibility.
HOW TO WATCH FOX WEATHER ON TV
Alcohol is one of the leading contributing factors in deadly boating accidents and is blamed for dozens of fatalities each year.
The Coast Guard said the total number of accidents decreased 16 percent, and the number of injured victims decreased 17 percent from last year.
"We praise the work of our boating safety partners who have resolved to reduce casualties through educational outreach and enforcement," Capt. Troy Glendye, chief of the Coast Guard’s Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety, said in a statement.
WHY THE FLORIDA KEYS ARE THE PERFECT SPOT FOR FISHING
And with the busy summer season here, the Coast Guard is reminding all boaters to take a safety course before hitting the water.
Boating experts say Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, account for more than 30 percent of all boating related incidents and in many cases victims were not wearing a life jacket.
"A life jacket is one of the most important safety items on your boat," Glendye said. "It is critical to wear one when underway as it may be difficult to don in an emergency.
Florida is the boating capital of the world, with more than 1 million registered recreational vessels across the state.
It’s year-round boating weather provides plenty of opportunities to take advantage of more than 12,000 square miles of water.

Running is more important than you might think for your health. While all kinds of exercise are good for the constitution, in terms of overall fitness running is better than walking and shorter bursts are better than a long plod. Plenty of studies have suggested that runners live longer, but recently it was confirmed that even moderate amounts of the activity could add as much as three years to your life. It is also the ultimate fat burner and will leave you with buns of steel and legs as lithe as an A-lister’s. On your marks…
Indoors or out?
There are two types of runner - those who like treadmills and those who don’t. As someone who falls firmly into the second category, I could never bear the hamster-wheel confinement of a mechanical running belt. Outside, blissfully unaware of how quickly (or slowly) I am moving, I can keep going for an hour or more. There are benefits to braving the outdoors.
Several studies have shown that outdoor running burns about 5 per cent more calories, partly due to the lack of wind resistance indoors and partly to the fact that a motorised belt propels you along slightly. But it’s not all bad news if you prefer the treadmill. A study in the journal Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise showed that watching your reflection in a gym mirror as you run will help novice runners to co-ordinate their limbs and run more smoothly.
Treadmills are definitely in the ascendecy with New York’s first dedicated treadmill running studio, the Mile High Run Club, opening recently and classes such as V-Tread at Virgin Active in which you race against other treadmill runners, and Precision Running at Equinox London making it more attractive even to the previously anti- brigade like me.
What’s your style?
A common misconception is that there is a perfect running style, a ‘correct’ way to run. In fact, any running technique can be right or wrong. What matters is that your body adopts a way of moving that works for you and does not leave you prone to injury.
“The key to successful running comes down to a relaxed style, even if it is slightly ragged,” says Berkshire-based UK Athletics coach Paddy McGrath. “Try to keep your head still, your arms at around 90 degrees and your hips and shoulders square to the front, but don’t become too obsessed about it. Tension can make your technique worse.”
Researchers at the University of Exeter’s human performance group showed that we actually self-adjust, eventually settling into an efficient technique just by running more. They studied a group of women who had recently taken up running and gave each a pair of running shoes fitted with motion capture sensors, heart rate monitors and other measuring devices. They then filmed them running on a treadmill. By the end of the trial, their technique had improved. Compared with their first run, the subjects were bending their knees and flexing their ankles slightly more, meaning their legs became more flexed as they left the ground in the toe-off portion of each stride - all good news for injury avoidance.
Choosing shoes
Buying the right trainers is littered with confusion and contradiction, more so than ever in the last two years as the trend for ‘ barefoot running ’ has taken hold. What proponents of shoe-shedding claim is that bulky trainers with excessive cushioning force us to land in a way nature never intended when we run - on our heels, causing shock to reverberate through the body and increase the risk of injury.
Most experts agree there was a time when shoes were cushioned to a fault. But don’t ditch them, is the message. Leading running coach Martin Yelling of Yelling Performance thinks the benefits of barefoot running have been overplayed and that wearing shoes with zero cushioning is a recipe for disaster for many people. However, he says that some running shoe manufacturers are responding to the current trend by launching shoes that are mid-minimalist, a step up from the foot-glove variety and a step down from regular trainers when it comes to cushioning. “There’s definitely a place for lighter, less structured shoes than we’ve worn in the past but even these require some getting used to,” Yelling says. “The best approach is to vary your shoes as much as you can. Wear a shoe with good traction on trails, a more cushioned shoe for longer runs and a lighter trainer for short distances.” My shoes of the moment? The Saucony Triumph (£125.99) and Adidas Supernova Glide Boost (£130) both of which offer an incredibly comfy ride.

What else to wear
It may be the simplest form of exercise, but there has been an explosion in accessories, clothing and gizmos aimed at runners, many of which are bafflingly high-tech. There are heart rate monitors, sweat-wicking clothes, anti-vibrational running socks and compression vests designed to make you run faster by improving the way your muscles work. And that’s before you enter the minefield of shopping for new trainers. You can choose from features including extra cushioning or anti-pronation, ultra-lightweight and waterproof materials, or shoes that are suitable specifically for road, trail or treadmill.
Does it need to be this confusing and costly? Of course not, says Dr Ceri Diss, a senior lecturer in sports biomechanics at Roehampton University’s Sports Performance and Assessment Centre. “You need a good basic shoe and a good sports bra, but that’s about it,” she says. “You could spend a fortune on gadgets and fancy clothing, but they won’t make much difference to your performance or your enjoyment of the sport.”
Check your progress
Runners love recording their routes and plotting statistics and there are plenty of ways you can do this for free. Free apps like Map My Run incorporate GPS devices that track you as you run and even offer encouragement. If you want to make an investment, then running watches with in-built GPS systems are available from around £100. They allow you to download your achievements to your computer to see how you are progressing. Garmins are popular, but my personal favourite is the TomTom Runner (around £219) which has large numbers that are easily visible as you run.
Avoid injury
Stretching after a run is essential, says John Brewer, professor of Applied Sports Sciences at St Mary’s University, Twickenham. “It has been shown to be more effective in injury prevention than if you do it before you start,” he says. Active flexibility, such as skipping-type running drills, are great to do before you start if you are planning to run fast. But generally a slower pace at the start will prepare your body for running, Brewer says. He says that over-enthusiastic newcomers can risk damage by doing too much too soon, so take things steadily and make sure you schedule in rest days. “Tired, over-used muscles simply don’t repair themselves as quickly, especially as you get older,” Brewer says.
Join a club
This is by far the best advice I can give. Running is easier, not to mention more enjoyable, when you do it with others. And there are plenty of beginner groups where you can get expert (and often free) advice to help you plan for that next step in a runner’s life: the race. Visit runengland.org for a list of beginner groups backed by England Athletics that are free to join.

You grab a protein shake after a workout, have nut butter on your toast and are partial to a fish/ chicken/ tofu supper, but research now suggests that it’s not just the type and quality of protein you’re consuming that counts- when you eat it could make quite the difference to your health, fitness progress and weight too.
In a study carried out by researchers at Skidmore College , combining six high protein meals a day alongside a multi-mode fitness program consisting of resistance, interval sprint, stretching, and endurance exercise training (RISE) resulted in improved fitness performance, leaner muscle mass and greater weight loss, including in the abdominal area, among overweight middle-aged participants than a control group undertaking the RISE fitness programme without the additional ‘protein pacing’ element. Those in the protein pacing group sourced 30 per cent of their daily calorie intake from protein by way of five or six protein rich meals a day, working out at 0.4 g of protein per kg of body weight per meal. The control group, however totted up the same amount of calories, but without the structured protein element.
It would seem that regular protein interventions, by way of protein acquired from both food and whey protein supplements as in the Skidmore study, can boost everything from cardiovascular health to weight loss and strength, but how does protein pacing really work, and should we all be upping our protein intakes for the sake of our heart, stamina and waistline? We spoke to registered nutritional therapist Karen Newby for the scoop…
Why does protein pacing work?
“The concept behind protein pacing is to support lean muscle mass but it also gives the body a constant supply of slow release energy that not only supports training but also weight loss too. It helps to reduce cravings, particularly if sugar is your nemesis. “
“The Skidmore research, however, supplemented food based protein with whey protein, but as a nutritional therapist I choose to recommend plant based protein powder instead as I see so many patients in practice who experience adverse symptoms from whey, plus, it doesn’t include recovery nutrients such as vitamin C, which are important when it comes to easing muscle fatigue as well as keeping the immune system healthy.”
If you do want to opt for a plant-based protein supplement, try Alchemy Sports Elixir , £39.99 for 30 servings, but if whey goes down well, Neat Nutrition Whey Protein , £34 for 33 servings, packs in essential amino acids without the fillers and additives of some commercial whey protein products.
How much protein do I actually need?
The more active you are, the more protein you generally need. Karen crunches the numbers:
“If you’re sedentary, you’ll need 0.8g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day, upping that to 1.6-1.8 g per kilogram of bodyweight a day if you’re active. So if you’re an active woman who weighs 65 kg, you’ll require roughly 104-117 g of protein per day, while for a sedentary woman of the same weight, you’re looking at around 52 g of protein per day.”
The type of exercise you do could also have an impact on how much protein you need for optimum fitness “gain”, as Karen explains:
“Different kinds of training can require different amounts of protein. For instance for strength training you could need up to twice the recommended daily allowance, working out at 1.6 g to 1.7 g of protein per kg of bodyweight a day. For endurance training it’s slightly less, at around 1.5 times the RDA. That would work out at about 1.2 g to 1.6 g per kilogram of bodyweight per day.”
I’ve cut back on training- should I cut back on protein too?
If you’ve been going over the RDA during training, Karen confirms that you probably won’t be needing that mid-morning peanut butter protein shade…
“It’s true that you won’t need so much protein if you drop training. A good rule of thumb is 2:1 carbohydrates to protein, so keeping a quarter of your plate or snack as a high quality protein source is a good way to approach it. Tuck into oily fish, eggs , quinoa , nuts, seeds and tofu .”
Onto the pacing part- when should I be tucking into my protein?
Prior to training have a protein and carbohydrate rich snack, ideally an hour prior to exercise, to help provide a drip feed of energy, but bear in mind that carbohydrates are needed as the storage fuel for our muscles. If you are a runner or cyclist then you will be placing extra ‘mechanical’ pressure on the gut so it is essential to keep it nourished. If you don’t eat meat or dairy products, never fear, as vegan protein not only delivers amino acids (pea protein has 80 per cent amino acid content), but fibre too which helps to create the right environment in the gut for beneficial bacteria to grow.”
“Post training you need protein to support the development of lean muscle mass, however lots of recent research into the anabolic one hour window post-training shows that this timeframe for protein consumption can actually be extended, allowing you to fix a protein rich smoothie , snack or meal at home.”
“In short protein is beneficial both pre and post workout, but don’t forget that there are also other factors to consider in terms of reaping maximum benefit from a training regime. Ensuring that your macronutrient intake is balanced in general can help (it’s not all about the protein!), as will making sure that you’re well hydrated and getting the micronutrients you need, such as ample vitamins and minerals. If you’re short of any micronutrients for any reason, supplementation can improve general health and performance, and don’t underestimate the importance of rest, recovery and clocking enough hours of sleep.”
Should I be spreading my protein out equally during the day too?
“I always recommend consuming more protein at breakfast and lunchtime when our stomach acid is at it’s highest- this is working naturopathically with the body. Leaving all your protein to the end of the day will often mean that the digestive system has to work harder and can reduce hunger on waking, so you’re more likely to skip breakfast and end up low on energy later on.”
What are some high quality sources of protein to include?
“I work with protein from food rather than necessarily a protein powder as you’ll get more nutrients, for example, fish will not only provide good levels of amino acids, but omega 3 which is good for joints as well as B vitamins too which are great for the nervous system and keeping energy levels steady.”
“If you are going to have a protein powder I prefer those created from wholefoods. I created The Sports Elixir to not only give protein from hemp and pea, which is easy to digest, but also supply recovery nutrients which research has shown are needed to help to support muscles after intensive training. Very often people don’t look after their immune systems and then get injured or ill. I often say to patients that if your immune system is sluggish then your performance is likely to be too, so ensure you’re getting all the protein and nutrients you need, not just protein in isolation. Here are just a few examples of protein content in food:
Fish fillets: 3.5 oz, 22 g protein
Tuna: 6 oz can, 40 g protein
Chicken thigh: 10 g protein
Chicken breast: 3.5 oz, 3 g protein
Chicken drumstick: 11 g protein
A large egg: 7 g protein
Slice of chicken on wholemeal toast/rye – 1 slice delivers 4g protein
Vegan options:
Hummus on oatcakes, 3g protein
Almond butter on oatcakes, 4 g/tablespoon protein
Coconut yogurt: 1 pot/3g protein
Mixed seeds and nuts: 20g, 4g protein
4 falafel: 125g, 8g protein
Alchemy Sport Elixir: 4g protein per serving
Protein and weight loss- give us the skinny…
“More protein is often central to any weight loss programme- protein takes longer to digest and will give you a drip feed of energy, allowing you to stay one step ahead of cravings. As above I work to a 2:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio in general, so that you’ve also got complex carbs to help raise insulin levels enough to make sure that the protein gets to the muscles. That being said as a nutritional therapist I also assess a patient’s ability to digest this protein. We are after all what we digest, not always what we eat.”
How do I know if I’m not getting enough protein?
“Protein is the building block of the body so it's often hard to pin-point symptoms of low protein as they can be far reaching. One of the signs can be blood sugar imbalance. A low protein, high carb diet is more likely to be giving you peaks and troughs of energy (feeling shaky or faint before eating is a classic sign of this). Changes in skin, hair and nails can also indicate that you’re not getting enough protein in your diet, as protein is required for all of these structural elements. Protein deficiency can be as far reaching as a weak immune system, as amino acids are the building blocks of antibodies for example. If you suspect that you’re not meeting the RDA, add in some high quality protein sources from the list above, monitor how you feel and discuss any health issues with your GP.”
Is it possible to overdo it on protein?
“There isn’t any conclusive research on what is deemed too much protein, as there are many parameters that come into play such as amount of training you’re doing, what kind, how often, what weight are you etc.”
“I help a lot of patients who are often taking on an excess of animal based protein which the body finds harder to process. Remember that the kidneys have to deal with all the by-products of protein metabolism (such as uric acid) and our stomach acid has to work hard to break it all down. Animal products are also deemed more proinflammatory, containing omega 6 as opposed to the more anti-inflammatory omega 3, aside from oily fish. Inflammation is the scourge of athletes so this is why consuming more vegan based proteins and oily fish could benefit the immune system and recovery too.”
It’s worth noting that the World Health Organisation identifies teenage girls and the elderly as the only groups at risk of a protein deficit, while teenage boys and adult men in particular are advised to reduce overall protein intake and include more vegetables in their diet, as many are eating twice the amount of protein that their bodies require. As always, any dietary change should be approached on a case-by-case basis, taking into account your individual health needs and lifestyle. Maxing out on protein willy nilly is far from a magic bullet.

Aching after your workout session? Reaching for chocolate, carbs or coffee to maintain form during the daily grind? Protein is vital for everything from muscle repair to maintaining balanced blood sugar, and up to 20% of our daily calorie intake should be derived from this essential nutrient, so if you’re flagging or crashing, it could be that you’re not getting your fill. We all know that an organic, free range chicken breast or bowl of lentils will likely sort us out, but you’re not always in the mood for a roast after a run, and there’s occasionally not the time or opportunity to refuel at vital moments. Short of packing a steak in your sports bag, protein powders can provide a satiating, healing and energising boost, but would you, or do you, go there? Forget everything you think you know about protein shakes and get a know a few experts in the market. No gym bravado or thick necks here, we promise.
We’ll begin with chocolate (ALWAYS a good start), or more specifically, ‘raw Peruvian cacao’, which is the flavour of Welleco’s The Super Elixir™ Nourishing Protein , £48, created by nutrition and oxidative stress specialist Dr Simone Laubscher in partnership with Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson. First things first, Elle is about as far from The Hulk as you could get, so that in itself is reassuring to women who fear that including a protein powder in their diet could make them ‘bulk up’. Secondly, while especially appealing to women, it’s suitable for just about everybody, given that its plant based, wheat free, dairy free, egg free, nut free and soya free. There are also no hormones lurking here, as Dr Laubscher clarifies:
"When it comes to supplements, most whey protein powders are derived from non-organic cow's milk which contains oestrogen.”
Imbalanced hormones probably aren’t want you want from your daily smoothie, but apparently hormone shakes are particularly detrimental to men, as Dr Laubscher explains:
“Oestrogen is a female hormone, and too much of this in the male diet can have adverse effects such as reduced libido and increased abdominal body fat”.
So it could be of some benefit that your boyfriend takes after ‘The Body’ too. Moving on from what’s not in it, the genuinely very delicious powder harnesses its power from pea and brown rice protein, and includes all nine essential amino acids in its formula to keep your building blocks strong (the body can’t make these so you need to be getting them from food). Also included in the mix are concentration enhancing B vitamins, digestion supporting pro and prebiotics plus fibre, craving reducing chromium, vitamin D3 for bone health and magnesium for optimum muscle recovery, not to mention better sleep . I could go on (anti-ageing acai makes an appearance), but basically this protein powder sets itself apart from many on the market as it’s made for women, by women, doesn’t taste artificial, is tailored to our concerns and needs and looks VERY chic indeed on your countertop. Not that I’m shallow, but those huge vats of protein powder stacked in health food shops are unappealing in themselves, and that’s before you’ve read the label, or put in the hours with the kettlebells before your can carry them home.
Another range of protein powders formulated by a female expert in her field are Strong Nutrients (also beautifully packaged), created by trainer and nutritionist Zana Morris . I quizzed her on the topic of women and protein powders, who might need them, and whether she ever encounters protein powder resistance…
“Consuming protein powder is simply a way to help ensure adequate protein intake in your diet. Protein is essential for building the entire structure of your body, from skin, nails and hair, enzymes that break down food, as well as more obvious, it is essential for firm muscle tone and strong bones.”
“They may have been associated with bodybuilders and men trying to bulk up, but in reality they are simply food, and a way to ensure adequate nourishment to match your lifestyle.”
“I’ve never found them a hard sell. I work with clients looking for a particular outcome. We look at lifestyle, goals and current nutrition. A very active client will need more protein in their diet to maintain energy, firm shape and feel more balanced (a lack of protein can lead to serious cravings for sugar!). My goal is to simply ensure the client is taking enough, whether that is through fresh food, or with the aid of a casein shake .”
Zana emphasises that not all protein is made equal, and that it’s not a case of different protein powders for men and women, but the quality of the protein itself:
“All protein breaks down into amino acids, the building blocks of the entire body. Assuming the source is healthy (e.g. organic and not heavily processed), the only real question to ask, is what is the NPU of the protein (Net Protein Utilisation), i.e. how readily can your body make use of it. Protein in fish or meat for example has a very high NPU. It is more readily available to be utilised by your body than, for example, protein from hemp. Casein, which is a dairy protein, also has a very high NPU.” (so not all dairy is full of hormones, FYI)
Clearly, a scoop every few hours isn’t the protein path to tread. Take your physical activity levels and lunch habits into account to when deciding on appropriate amounts…
“Regular high intensity workouts will require good quality protein to help you recover. Not enough could lead to serious cravings, which is when most of us turn to sugar! One serving a of a protein powder a day, on top of small amounts of good quality protein at each meal, should be enough. That said, if you find you skip meals, or grab a sandwich for lunch, (which can then lead to craving something sweet at 4pm) then you may need more. A shake instead of a sandwich if need be, for example, can really make a difference to keeping your insulin stable; helping you avoid energy slumps as well as eliminating afternoon urges for sugar.”
“That said, if you eat good quality, highly absorbed forms of protein regularly throughout the day, and are only exercising moderately, you may not need any extra protein at all!”
Watch out for the perfect windows to whip out a protein powder too:
“You could make one as a light breakfast or lunch, especially if the alternative would have been cereal or bread based. Alternatively, have one around mid afternoon when there can be a tendency to reach for something sweet. It will keep hunger at bay and energy stable until you are ready for your evening meal.”
Activity is the most important factor to consider in how much and how often you consume a protein powder, but Zana reasons that age does come into play:
“From the age of 30 we lose 1/2 lb of firm tissue from our bodies, each year, every year. A combination of the right exercise and quality of protein play a vital role in recovering this. A 75 year old, doing high intensity training, will thrive on extra protein, as they will recover strength in their bones, muscle tissue and even organs.
”
Don’t go nuts thinking that powdered protein is the elixir of life, however. That moderation thing crops up everywhere:
“We don’t need excessive protein. Like all food sources, too much of it, especially if you’re not exercising, can mean that our body may have difficulty processing it and it can convert to fat. If you have a history of kidney issues too much could also cause a strain on your kidneys.”
If we’re being wary, it’s also important to check that your protein powder is what it says it is, i.e, good quality protein. Strong and Welleco are well respected in the market, having won health awards and undergone meticulous development by certified nutritional experts, and another to add to the high quality trolley are supplements made by Neat Nutrition , as founders and former professional sportsmen Leo Forster and Charlie Turner prioritise provenance, natural ingredients and a total lack of BS (we assume they’ve come across quite a bit in the past). Charlie suggests carrying out a little BS investigations of your own before ingesting a protein powder willy nilly:
“Check if the ingredient profile is clean and all-natural, or is it loaded with artificial sweeteners, fillers, colours, and other additives? The key ‘rogue’ ingredients to look out for artificial sweeteners such as; dextrose, fructose and sucrose."
“Check the yield of your protein.i.e. if you have a 30g scoop, how much is actually protein? For example, Neat’s Whey Protein , £34, has 24g of protein in a 30g scoop, giving an 80% yield. Generally anything above 70-75% is considered good. If you’re only getting a yield of 50%, ask the question ‘what is in the other 50% doing and why would I need it’?”
If you’re still on the fence regarding trying one, a final word from Charlie should establish why, at times, a protein powder can be a real pro:
“We would never advocate cutting out all traditional proteins (meat, fish etc.) with a shake, we love them too much to do that ourselves! The most critical factor that puts protein powder miles ahead of other of eating a high protein meal is the speed which you can digest it. Whey Protein, for example, digests very quickly comparative to other protein sources. In less than 30 minutes it can fast-track a good portion of amino acids to your muscles.”
For anyone who’s ever experienced DOMS , the muscle easing powers of a quick protein hit will be well known sweet relief. Give it a go, and let us know how you get on below…

If you’re a keen exercise fan you’ll be au fait with the post-workout euphoria after a successful session pounding the pavements or hitting the gym; and annoyingly, you’ll be equally familiar with the rain cloud of doom that creeps in when you’re in the midst of a bad run or a less than successful weights session or your yoga practice makes you wonder whether you've body-swapped with your granny. Your legs feel like lead and even the peppiest of playlists can get you motivated. On days like this, you often wish you’d never even set your alarm and laced up. Why do some workouts feel doomed from the get-go?
Don't worry, it's not necessarily you, unless of course, you're nursing a hangover. Our experts explain the hidden exercise saboteurs that reveal why your run or workout went badly and how to head them off at the pass.
1. You’re not fully recovered from illness
As we've seen with long-Covid, illness can alter your athletic performance for longer than you think. "If you are recovering from recent surgery or bacterial or viral illness then your athletic performance will most likely be reduced," says GP Dr Johanna Ward . "Even if you feel fine your body might still have some residual fatigue. We know that it takes about six weeks to make a full recovery from major surgery and the same often applies to major bacterial and viral infections such as flu, Covid and pneumonia. Sometimes we see even more prolonged recovery times after illness.
"There is something called post-viral fatigue that refers to a chronic sense of fatigue and energy depletion after a viral or bacterial infection," explains Dr Johanna. "It can take some people months or even years to recover their pre-illness energy levels. This is what we are seeing with long-Covid; prolonged recoveries with people complaining of fatigue and continued breathlessness long after their infection has resolved. This will most certainly affect exercise performance and lung function. I had Covid in early March 2020 and four months later my lung function and exercise performance were still nowhere near what they used to be.”
2. You’re running but not doing other exercise
If running is your passion you still need to make time for other types of exercise. You know that if you do an intense weight session that leaves your muscles aching the next day then your run won’t be as good as it could be, but missing out on weights workout could be equally detrimental and even make you more prone to injury. Running all the time and ignoring strength training or yoga (i.e. building muscle mass and lengthening it) could cause poor performance.
While running improves stamina and body composition it doesn’t improve muscular strength or mobility, explains coach Luke Worthington who trained model and actress Sabrina Elba ahead of her wedding to Idris Elba. “If the only exercise you do is run you’ll encounter problems brought on by a lack of muscular strength and this is when we get injured, because our bodies aren’t strong or resilient enough to deal with the repetitive impact running requires.”
Luke recommends combining two weights sessions a week with three runs. He also recommends not getting fixated on doing longer runs each time. “I suggest one distance focused run, one interval focused run and one slower-paced 'technique run'. Here, the effort level is low enough that you can focus on keeping neck, shoulders and fingers relaxed, core engaged and using the glutes as a driving force. When we are working hard our attention tends to be more on just the effort."
He also adds in yoga or Pilates for an active recovery session once a week.
The idea of a technique run is a new one for me; I can get grumpy if I think my run was a wasted session but reframing it as a chance to work on technique is better than sulking if I haven't got as far or as fast as I wanted. Which brings me to…
3. Your head isn't in the game
Some days when your alarm goes off you absolutely do not want to work out and that mindset stays with you as you embark on the exercise. I’ve lain in bed many times mulling over all the elements I don’t want to do – put on trainers, leave the house, tackle the incline – but life coach Dave Knight suggests that resetting your mindset is key. The wrong mindset is a major factor in a rubbish exercise session.
“You need to focus on your next step,” he says. “From the moment you think about working out, there are a series of steps before you actually get going, such as getting changed, finding your playlist, getting your trainers on and so on." He recommends thinking about one thing at a time to reduce your 'thinking ahead' – the part where you talk yourself out of the things you don't want to do. "You just need to know about the very next step you need to take. If you do this you can transform the session into something all the more pleasurable.”
4. You’re mouth-breathing
Just being able to breathe at all when you’re exercising can be hard enough. However, breathing right could make all the difference to your session. “Most people breathe in and out through their mouths when they exercise, which is not efficient,” says breathwork expert James Dowler . “This doesn’t improve oxygen uptake or increase oxygen delivery to the cells. It keeps the body in fight and flight response. Instead, you should breathe in and out through the nose.”
“When you breathe through your nose you carry air deeper into the lungs and over a period of time of nasal breathing when exercising you’ll improve performance, reduce breathlessness and improve recovery “
Warm up your breath before you exercise to make sure you're getting full use of your lungs to power your muscles with oxygen. Pre-workout, James recommends practising diaphragmatic breathing. “Breathe nice and low into the belly and out through your nose. This activates your diaphragm which is not just used for respiration, but for stabilisation of the spine and for posture which helps with functional movement.”
5. You're iron deficient
"If you are iron deficient like many women are in their reproductive years, then you are going to have to work much harder to get oxygen to your cells," says Dr Ward. "Exercise will feel much harder under these circumstances. Sometimes iron deficiency comes on slowly such that you hardly notice it but other times it can impact you much more suddenly. For women of reproductive age, I recommend a yearly iron check.
"Fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, headaches, pale skin and brittle nails are all associated with iron deficiency," she says. Remember that heavy and intense exercise in itself can cause iron loss so be mindful of changes in your energy levels and get checked by your doctor if you have any symptoms.
"Iron is easy to supplement (ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulphate, Spatone etc) but I would recommend seeing your doctor first before going it alone."
6. There’s too much pollen in the air
If the pollen levels are high, those with histamine intolerance (aka hay fever) might find their workout suffering, explains nutritionist Daniel O’Shaughnessy . “Fatigue is a symptom of histamine intolerance which can impact your run. Avoiding pollen can be difficult but limiting certain 'histamine foods' which raise your histamine levels, is an option.”
Foods to avoid include:
• fermented foods and dairy products, such as yoghurt and sauerkraut
• dried fruits
• avocados
• eggplant/aubergine
• spinach
• processed or smoked meats
• shellfish
• aged cheese
• alcohol and other fermented drinks

7. You’re eating the wrong pre-workout food
Some people prefer to run on empty, while others need to fuel up first. If you’re in the latter, your pre-workout snack needs to be energy-giving not depleting. “Before you exercise eat something easy to digest such as banana and nut butter, some cheese, smoothie or oats with berries,” says Daniel. “I would advise eating higher fibre foods only after your run as they may make you a bit gassy on the way."
Avoid eating refined carbs such as white bread and pastries, as the sugar spike they cause in your bloodstream is quickly followed by a crash. "It will make you feel tired and in need of more food to raise blood sugar levels and energy," warns nutritional therapist Marilia Chamon . A high protein breakfast just before exercise will also negatively impact your performance as protein is harder to break down and is not used as a source of energy, she says.
If you're having breakfast less than an hour before your run, Marilia recommends fruit, sourdough bread with avocado or nut/seed butter or a smoothie made with one portion of fruit (one portion = 80g = a small banana), half a scoop of protein powder and milk or dairy-free alternative. If you working out within two hours of eating she suggests oats with berries, nuts and seeds or egg and sourdough toast.
As well as breakfast, the dinner you ate the night before can be a deal-breaker, as Marilia explains. "Carbohydrates are the body’s primary source of energy, it is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen and turned into energy as needed. If you went to bed hungry or did not have enough complex carbohydrates (such as sweet potatoes, rolled oats, whole grains, beans, pulses) the day prior to a run, that will directly impact your performance"
"If you are under-eating and not having as many calories from all macronutrient groups as your body needs in order to perform well, exercise will always be negatively impacted. It takes about five hours for the food you eat to be stored as glycogen therefore having some complex carbohydrates hours before your run will give you that consistent energy supply."
8. It’s the wrong time in your menstrual cycle
We’ve all heard the advice that exercise can help period pain but hormone changes related to your monthly cycle can impact your workout. “In some cases, this is due to heavy bleeding, but more often it is related to fluid retention, which changes in the way muscle store fuel (as the starchy carbohydrate, glycogen), and physical symptoms such as headache or back pain, “explains Dr Sarah Brewer , medical director at Healthspan .
“The best time to exercise is when your oestrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest. This is between days five to 14 and days 17 to 20 when you can make the best of your glycogen stores in the body and use up stored carbohydrates,” says consultant gynaecologist Tania Adib . When your oestrogen levels are high they help break down fat rather than use up the stored levels of carbohydrates.
Adds Dr Ward: "Some women report low energy levels during their periods which is largely driven by shifts in oestrogen and progesterone. Some athletes take the combined pill without a break to avoid a period and to prevent blood loss for that cycle. This is entirely safe but is off-licence which means it's not the way the manufacturer has had the drug licensed. There are no known risks to doing this and it may afford you added convenience to skip the bleeding break.
"Hormones are chemical messengers in our body and they signal all kinds of things," Dr Wards says. "Women often feel tired, ‘headachey’ and bloated before their period so training can feel like a hardship at these times. My advice would be to rest if you don’t feel well and to reschedule training sessions if you have symptoms."
9. You've taken a sleeping tablet
We all know that sleep deprivation can cause poor cognitive performance so it's no surprise that physical exercise can feel like wading through treacle if you haven't slept enough. If you have been out for the count for eight hours, but with the aid of a sleeping pill, you still have some lingering effects, says Dr Ward. "Nytol and other sleeping aids can make you feel groggy in the morning a bit like a red wine hangover so don’t be tempted to take them in the middle of the night if you intend to train in the morning.
"They sometimes impair your ability to exercise at intense levels and can increase recovery time. The biggest impact sleep deprivation will have is on endurance sports like long-distance running. Partly this is related to mood and motivation and partly to do with simple biomechanics of the cell."
10. You're menopausal
"Many women describe a catastrophic decline in energy levels as they go through menopausal change which is linked to the steep decline in reproductive hormones," explains Dr Ward. Joint stiffness and aching is a common menopausal complaint so on days when your body aches maybe opt for some restorative exercise such as yoga or pilates rather than a strenuous run.
11. You're dehydrated
The parched post-exercise feeling is a common one but not drinking enough before your sweat session is a key reason you might not perform your best. "Water lubricates the joints and carries oxygen to the cells. The powerhouses inside our cells (called mitochondria) are not able to generate energy without oxygen," explains Marilia. Make sure you hydrate well before you exercise.
12. You’re taking new medication
If you’ve recently started taking new medication and noticed a decline in your performance it could well be down to the pills. “Fatigue is a common side effect of many pharmaceutical drugs including blood pressure tablets, statins, antihistamines, anti-anxiety and depression medication and even antacids can impair exercise tolerance,” says Johanna. Only take medicines if they are necessary and use the smallest therapeutic dose.”
13. You’ve just hit 40
"After the age of 40 our levels of CoEnzyme Q10 decline and our bodies make less of it, " explains Dr Ward. "Coenzyme Q10 is needed by the mitochondria of the cell to help generate energy. Without adequate CoQ10 your legs can feel like led weights on a jog. Q10 can be safely supplemented - you will see it listed as Ubiquinone or CoEnzyme Q10." Try Super Ubiquinol CoEnzyme Q10 , £50 for 30 gels.
"I tell all my patients over 40 to supplement CoQ10 if they are low because it has powerful antioxidant and longevity effects as well as helping to tap into good energy production. Interestingly Q10 is also thought to reduce inflammation and fatigue after intense exercise so it may help you recover better after your training. So many people focus only on the macronutrients in food like fat, carbs and protein but forget about the micronutrients. These are just as important when it comes to exercise."
If you or a relative are on statins, you may know all about this fatigued feeling, says Dr Ward. "Supplement CoQ10 at 100 to 200mg per day because statins interfere with your Q10 levels."
The main thing is not to get too down on yourself if your workout doesn't go as you'd hoped. "The more we exercise, the more we learn. We start to learn about what makes us tick psychologically, how much we can tolerate physically and what works and doesn't work based on how we feel it went," says Anthony Fletcher, founder of virtual running club Onetrack Club . "Recovery time between sessions is so important but also if you're training for something like a half marathon or full marathon there are going to be days when it's tough, and that's ok, as long as you bounce back from it."

Some people put it down to the success of the GB cyclists in the 2008 Olympics; others believe that it was Boris Johnson’s mad bike scheme that did the trick. Whatever way you look at it, one thing is true - cycling in the UK is on the rise. In fact, recent studies have shown that the mileage cycled in the UK is up 20% over the last 15 years from 4 billion kms in 1998 to 5.1 billion kms in 2013. Indeed nearly half (a whopping 43%) of the UK population now cycles.
If you’re part of the remaining 57% looking to join the bike brigade then you’ve come to the right place because this week we sat down with Managing Director and co-owner of BOOM Cycle , Robert Rowland, and asked him the five most important questions that will allow you to toss your training wheels to the side and hit the road hard.
1. What are the main health benefits of cycling?
“First of all cycling is a great low impact exercise,” says Robert, “which means that anyone can do it, even those who are starting from a very low base level of fitness.” Typically low-impact workouts are a lot easier on the body, especially on the joints, and can be a great way to get in a heart-pumping workout, while reducing the risk of injury (if hill sprints aren’t really your thing…).
“Once you’ve started cycling,” says Robert, “it’s the perfect format for every type of training - as you can head out for quick hard intervals or very long rides and just build on your base fitness.”
2. How important is it to find the right bike?
Choosing your first bike is a little like deciding on a drastic hair change - get it right and you’ve successfully overhauled an entire area of your life for the better. Get it wrong however, and you’re left dealing with the painful and unpleasant consequences for months to come.
“Not only is choosing the right back important for comfort but also for safety,” says Robert. “You need to feel relaxed as well as secure, but also manoeuvrable - especially when riding in traffic as you can cover long distances. If you don’t, you could end up having to deal with a number of joint pains and body issues.”
Finding the right model is also totally dependent on the person concerned. “It’s very much based on what you want to use the bike for,” says Robert. “But the one thing I would say is to not simply opt for the cheapest available as you’ll end up spending more money by having to constantly maintain and fix it. This way you may end up getting so fed up that you ditch the bike altogether! There are some great bike shops out there with really helpful professionals who can point you in the right direction - so definitely use them!”

3. Which are the best bike shops?
For trendy hotspots, head to shoreditch based Look Mum No Hands , or Cycle Lab & Juice Bar , where visitors can sup coffee, tea or even beer, while perusing bike artefacts and interesting gear with like minded folk.
For those seeking a more technical approach, head over to the holistic hospital for bikes, Cycle Surgery , where bike buffs will be on hand to provide detailed information as well as help see to any equipment problems or questions you may have.
However, for a truly bespoke bike experience, Comtat Cycles is the place to go - here visitors can drool over the most beautiful bikes in the business and also take part in a 3D fitting, for the ultimate tailored result.
4. How essential is it to wear a helmet?
When it comes to biking gear, cycling safety sits right at the top of the priorities list. “A helmet is the most essential piece,” says Robert. “A lot of people take the argument that a helmet won’t help them under a bus, but i’ve had more than one crash where there’s been no traffic around and have cracked my helmet (rather than my head)!” It may not protect you in every accident scenario - but given the choice of braving the busy, bustling roads with or without one - we know which option we’d choose...
Road Cycling UK recommends that when purchasing a helmet in the UK, they should meet the European Union standard, meaning more expensive versions are not necessarily more robust, but typically lighter and better ventilated. Aim to look for absorbent pads, a tactile adjustment dial at the rear or on top of the helmet to tighten or loosen the cradle that holds it to your head, and easily adjustable straps.
5. Is it safe for beginners to ride around a busy city?
“I would thoroughly recommend all beginners get some good practice in somewhere quiet first. The other thing I would do is to always plan your route carefully - if you are going to start commuting then take a look at the route first and avoid big roads and junctions - even if it takes a few extra minutes, it’ll be a more relaxing ride and also probably more scenic.”
Either way, if you’re feeling a little road rusty, Robert recommends Sky Ride as a great base for cycling tips and tricks, as well as a means of meeting up with cycling groups to help build up your experience and etiquette. “Sky Ride is a great place for beginners as it’s a really relaxed environment.”
