Article: When is HIIT the best exercise fit?
Determining whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an appropriate form of exercise for the average person has been hotly debated for years. But for one researcher, there’s not much to debate — interval exercise, when used appropriately, can fit into people’s menu of flexible exercise options. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/09/200921100345.htm

Blog: How well did you sleep last night?
Hello I hope you are all well and had a great weekend. I took a timeout for this weekend. I had no plans as I had kept 14 days clear just in case I had to quarantine on my return from Gibraltar (which I thankfully did not have to). Last week was difficult one, so…

Article: One way to calm an anxious mind: Notice when you’re doing OK
An interesting article from TED website. To keep our ancestors alive, our brains evolved an ongoing internal trickle of unease. It’s the little whisper of worry that keeps you scanning your inner and outer worlds for signs of trouble.
