This is the one stretch I recommend to all walkers who don’t have time for a full cool-down

Published by Jenni Sidey

I recommend walking to all my personal training clients as a low-impact way to improve their cardio fitness, but I know many of them skip stretching after their stroll. Doing that once or twice is fine, but regularly neglecting to stretch after movement can lead to stiff muscles. Most of my clients don’t have time to do a full-body routine after every walk, so instead I suggest they do one simple move: the bodyweight good morning. Latest Videos FromFit&Well It releases tension throughout your body’s posterior chain—the muscles running down the back of your body—including your glutes (buttocks), erector spinae (the muscles alongside your spine), hamstrings (on the back of your thighs) and calves. It also involves hinging forward from your hips, which helps with joint mobility. You may like Here’s how to do it.

If you want a budget pick that punches above its weight class, you’ll find it in these earbuds. { container.appendChild(contentItem); });”> The Air Pro 4 earbuds look like most other budget earbuds out there, but their appearance is where the similarities stop. After powering them on, we were immediately impressed by how well their active noise cancellation worked, and that feeling didn’t fade as we put them to the test against forces like people talking loudly around us. Once we connected these earbuds to their companion app, we were even more impressed by the five different levels of noise cancellation. As we mentioned in the intro of this guide, comfort is a key factor in choosing the best headphones for travel, and while these don’t reinvent the wheel, we found them to stay put much better than other earbuds (including the first-gen AirPods Pro). EarFun provides five different silicone ear …

How healthy are cucumbers? Why dietitians still recommend them

How healthy are cucumbers? Why dietitians still recommend them

Published by Sam Flores

When Kimberly Dong, an associate professor of nutrition and public health at the Tufts University School of Medicine, names fruits and vegetables that offer the most nutrition per bite, cucumbers aren’t at the top of her list. Still, she said, there are good reasons to eat them. Low in calories and full of water with some fiber, cucumbers are healthful, she said. And because they’re crunchy, with a mild, refreshing flavor, they pair well with many foods. Cucumbers come in many variations: standard, fat, thick-skinned garden cucumbers; longer, more slender English (or hothouse) cucumbers with thin skin and smaller seeds; bite-size and bumpy gherkins; crisp, compact Persian cucumbers. However you slice them (or don’t!), here’s why cucumbers are a satisfying hot weather staple. THEY’RE HYDRATING As temperatures rise, cucumbers – which are about 96 per cent water – are an excellent low-calorie source of hydration, Dong said. A 10.5-ounce (297g) unpeeled garden cucumber, for instance, contains just over 1 cup of water and 45 calories. Gina Jarman Hill, a professor of nutritional sciences at Texas Christian …

Still Need a Blu-Ray Player in 2026? Here’s the One I Heartily Recommend

Published by Miika Tikkanen

All Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray players are designed to be backward compatible with your existing DVDs. Most will also upscale DVD to 1080p (or 4K), which will mean a boost in image quality when played on a flatscreen TV.  If you have DVDs from other regions — e.g., you live in the UK and have Japanese DVDs — you will need to check with the manufacturer to make sure your player is compatible.

I Tried Mary Berry's Yorkshire Puddings Hack And I Can't Recommend It Enough

I Tried Mary Berry's Yorkshire Puddings Hack And I Can't Recommend It Enough

Published by Sam Flores

Eggs and flour on the left: Yorkshire puddings on the right On paper, Yorkshire puddings seem almost laughably easy; mix egg, flour, and milk together, pour it into sizzling oil, and wait. Tall, fluffy, oven-roof-hitting wonders should soon appear.  Except it doesn’t always work that way, does it? I’ve had many roast dinner disasters in the past; flat, anaemic pucks of carbs are too easy to make. In times like these, I turn to Mary Berry, whose scone tips, 15-minute lemon curd recipe, and spag bol secrets have never served me wrong.  I’ve written before about how the Cordon Bleu-trained chef says most of us are getting our batter ratios wrong, so I thought I’d try her version last week – people, I am sold.  It’s all about the eggs  “Mary likes to add more eggs and omit a little milk in her recipe as decades of experience have convinced her this gets the best results,” her BBC recipe reads.  She opts for 225ml of milk to three eggs in her 4.7-starred recipe, or 75ml of milk per …

Editor’s Note: ZDNET’s Deal of the Week is an editorially selected deal we feel is deserving of reader attention due to its high rating and value. SSD deals have been hard to find lately, thanks in part to ongoing economic pressures. That’s why this early Amazon Prime Day discount on Samsung’s 990 Pro SSD instantly caught my attention.   Also: I found 15 Amazon deals on editor-approved tech already live for Prime Day Several capacities are on sale, but the standout deal is the 2TB option, which has dropped from $640 to $390, a 39% discount. The 1TB model is also worth considering, falling from $320 to $250. Power users looking for the most storage can save 30% on the 4TB SSD. There’s also an alternative version of the 990 Pro that comes with a heatsink. 2TB SSD with said heatsink is available for $483, or 28% off. If your PC, laptop, or video game console is running low on space, I recommend taking advantage of this deal. The Samsung 990 Pro is one of the …

This is the only type of keyboard that I wouldn’t recommend to anyone

This is the only type of keyboard that I wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Published by Miika Tikkanen

There are tons of keyboards available in all different shapes and sizes to cater to whatever your typing needs might be. It doesn’t matter if you want to fly through documents at 150 words per minute or type on the go with a lightweight Bluetooth keyboard; chances are there’s something out there that’s meant for what you want. However, just because these keyboards exist, that doesn’t mean they’re any good. The basic premise of a keyboard is to type, and if it fails at that, the portability, battery life, looks, or compatibility won’t matter. Unfortunately, that’s how I learnt that folding keyboards aren’t my cup of tea, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone either.
