This isn’t your average morning workout. No 30minute runs here! This is a small 5-10 minute circuit-style bodyweight workout created specifically to wakn up your body! Due to its brevity yet intense flexibility demands, it helps to loosen the body and stimulate endorphin production.
In order to maximize benefits it is important to keep two things in mind:
- Don’t just perform any ‘ol routine — make sure they exercise elements are in line with your overall fitness goals.
- ASAP. Do it right away! First thingin the morning. This helps make it habitual, and leaves minimal room for excuses.
Now for the simple 3 part recipe:
No. 1 Explosivity
In order to get your blood pumping like crazy, boost muscle building, and elevate your metabolism for the day to come, you need to include at least one sort of explosive exercise in your routine. Obvious examples would be jump squats/lunges, however you could also try box jumps or tornado jumping jacks.
No. 2 Static Stretch Movement
What better way to get loose and limber than by stretching. This element to be your traditional stretch, but a stretch movement. Some popular, and easy to execute examples include Bulgarian split squats with bottom holds and lateral lunges with a hold at the bottom.
No. 3 K.I.S.S. (Keep it Short and Sweet)
The goal is to perform this workout daily. As a general rule, keep under 15minutes, and don’t inundate it with reps. Try to perform the whole circuit with little to no break between exercises. Perform it once on workout days, and twice on non-workout days. If done twice, rest 20-30 seconds between exercises.
Sample Morning Workout Routine – Target Area: Lower Body
Lower Body Exercise w/ Static Hold
- 8-15 reps
- Ex: Full squats with 3-second hold on the bottom
Upper Body Exercise
- 8-15 reps
- Ex: Push-up variations, bench dips
Lower Body Exercise
- 8-12 reps per leg
- Ex: Lunges, Bulgarian split squats, single-leg squats
- 15-30 sec hold
- Ex: Plank, stomach vacuums, V-sit, 6-inch ab raises
Explosive Lower Body Exercise
- 10-15 reps
- Ex: jump squats, jump lunges, tornado

Looking for the best kids ski helmet?
With so many to choose from, it’s more difficult than you may think!
That’s why I put together this list of the best ski helmet for kids! Let’s dig in!
Best Ski Helmet for Kids
1. Giro Crue Kids Ski Helmet
This Giro Crue ski helmet is an excellent choice for your kids’ safety and comfort on the slopes.
- Durable hard shell construction
- Self-adjusting Auto Loc 2 Fit System
- Effective ventilation with Stack Vent and Super Cool Vents
- Ear pads might not suit everyone
- Limited size options
- Slightly bulky compared to other models
This Giro Crue Kids Ski Helmet is designed for youth and provides both protection and comfort during your child’s skiing or snowboarding adventures. The hard shell construction ensures great value for a rugged helmet that can withstand impacts, while the Auto Loc 2 Fit System offers hassle-free fitting, ensuring the helmet remains snug and secure on your child’s head.
The helmet also features a Stack Vent on the front, which aligns with your child’s goggles, helping to keep them fog-free. The Super Cool Vents on top help hot air escape to maintain a comfortable temperature, making this helmet an excellent choice for long days on the slopes.
The Giro Crue works seamlessly with Giro Youth Goggles to create the perfect fit. While it’s a solid choice overall, be aware that the ear pads may not be universally comfortable, the size options could be limiting, and it could be a bit bulkier than other options. Nonetheless, the Giro Crue Kids Ski Helmet delivers on safety, comfort, and style for your budding ski or snowboarding enthusiast.
2. ParaWild Unicorn/Narwhal Helmet Accessory
Add a touch of magic to your helmet with this sparkly unicorn/narwhal horn accessory for kids and adults alike.
- Fits any helmet easily
- Unique design to stand out
- Easy to attach and remove
- Pricey for a decoration
- Possibly too attention-grabbing
- Does not include the actual helmet
ParaWild’s helmet accessory is a delightful addition to make your child’s ski helmet more enjoyable. The glittery horn is adjustable and fits a wide range of helmets, from ski to cycling. It catches attention on the slopes and helps you keep track of your little one while adding a touch of magic to their experience.
The industrial hook-and-loop fastener ensures the horn stays securely attached and is easily removable without damaging the helmet. Although it may be a bit pricey for a decorative item, it certainly adds an element of fun to the activity and encourages your child to embrace safety.
In conclusion, this unicorn/narwhal helmet accessory by ParaWild is a great option for children who are into magical creatures.

3. Wildhorn Spire Combo Pack Ski Helmet
A great combo pack for kids that provides both safety and comfort on the slopes.

The goggles are designed to provide excellent vision for your child in various weather conditions, while the semi-mirroring allows you to see your child’s eyes as they take on the slopes.
One potential issue is the limited sizing options. As the helmet is aimed at children between 3 and 8 years old, it might not fit some older or bigger kids. Additionally, the goggle fit could be an issue for some as it may not be tight enough for precision. Nonetheless, considering the overall protection and performance, the Wildhorn Spire Combo Pack Ski Helmet is an excellent choice for young skiers.

The helmet keeps your child’s ears warm with plush earmuffs and the adjustable padded chinstrap ensures a perfect fit while avoiding chaffing.
On a recent ski trip, you would have noted the excellent ventilation provided by the 10 vents, ensuring optimal airflow during those speedy runs down the mountain. Additionally, the rear goggle clip is a great feature to keep goggles secure and in place.
However, you may notice some visible scratches on the helmet just after a short period of usage. Furthermore, this helmet might not suit all budgets and has a limited variety of colors to choose from. Overall, if you’re looking for a well-constructed, comfortable, and protective ski helmet for your child, the Retrospec Comstock helmet is worth considering.
What to Look for When Buying a Kid Ski Helmet
Safety should always be the top priority when shopping for a kid’s ski helmet.
Ensure the helmet meets or exceeds the recognized safety standards set by reputable organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or the European Conformity (CE). Helmets certified by these bodies have undergone rigorous testing for impact protection and penetration resistance, ensuring a high level of safety.
Additionally, it might be beneficial to look for helmets that have received endorsements or recommendations from reputable ski or snowboard institutions or professionals.
Fit and Adjustability
A well-fitting helmet is imperative for both safety and comfort. Before purchasing, measure your child’s head circumference at the widest part, usually just above the eyebrows and ears. Reference this measurement against the manufacturer’s sizing chart to select the appropriate size. Helmets with adjustable fitting systems such as dial fit or BOA offer a customized fit by allowing you to tighten or loosen the helmet to accommodate your child’s head shape. An adjustable helmet will not only provide a snug fit but also accommodate for growth, potentially extending the helmet’s usability over a few seasons.
Adequate ventilation is crucial to ensure your child remains comfortable and the helmet’s temperature is well-regulated, especially during active skiing.
Helmets with adjustable ventilation systems allow you to open or close vents depending on the weather conditions and personal preference. This feature can be particularly useful during varying weather conditions throughout the ski season. The ventilation system should work seamlessly, even with gloves on, to provide an effortless adjustment on the slopes.
Comfort and Padding
The interior padding of the helmet contributes significantly to the comfort level.
Look for helmets that have plush, breathable padding to provide a cozy and warm experience during long hours on the slopes.
Removable and washable padding is a great feature to look for, as it allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the helmet remains fresh and comfortable for your child. Some helmets also offer anti-microbial padding to keep the interior hygienic and odor-free.
For a hassle-free experience, it’s essential to choose a helmet that is compatible with ski goggles.
Helmets and goggles should work seamlessly together to provide clear vision and comfort. Some helmets come with integrated goggle straps or clips to securely hold the goggles in place, ensuring they don’t slide off during skiing. Others might have goggle retainers or even a seamless design that allows the goggles to fit snugly within a recess on the helmet, promoting a comfortable and secure fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the right size helmet for my child?
To find the correct size helmet for your child, measure the circumference of their head just above the eyebrows. Use a flexible tape measure or a string, and then compare it to the helmet size chart provided by the manufacturer. Remember, the helmet should fit snugly but not too tight, allowing for comfort and safety.
What are the key features to look for in a toddler ski helmet with goggles?
When choosing a ski helmet with goggles for your toddler, consider the following features:
- Ventilation: Look for helmets with adjustable vents to ensure proper air circulation and prevent fogging.
- Goggle compatibility: Choose a helmet designed to work with the goggles to avoid gaps or discomfort.
- Extra Padding: Helmets with additional padding offer more comfort and security.
- Adjustment system: Helmets with easy-to-use adjustments ensure secure fits, accommodating growth spurts.
Does adding MIPS to a ski helmet enhance protection for kids?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to reduce the rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. While it is not a guarantee against concussion, incorporating MIPS technology into ski helmets can provide an additional layer of protection for kids during falls and collisions. However, it’s crucial to prioritize proper fit and comfort alongside any safety feature for the most effective protection.

Ive just recieved the actual item and kind of disappointed at the moment. I have not taken pictures but I can if any1 wants to see it but that ball came with a bump. Right after a inflated it Ive noticed that it has noticeable bump and the spot is a bit curved. Guys im trying to buy a ball, why is it that hard to have it perfectly round , I mean come on ...
The Telstar 18, the design for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, is as close to a perfect sphere as you can get. It has subtle pimples and six thermally bonded panels designed to avoid knuckling, which is the characteristic bobbing and weaving movement when a ball is kicked without spin. All 32 teams have been able to play with it since November in preparation for the tournament, which runs from June 14 to July 15. But despite its similarities to the old ball, players have grumbled about the Telstar 18. Compared to the last few World Cup balls, the Telstar 18 is very similar to the ball used for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. It won’t fly quite as far down the pitch, and will wobble in the air a little differently, but aerodynamic testing suggests it will be more stable in the air overall.
Today, soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. Championships and league cup events are some of the biggest social and athletic events of the year in many countries. This sport is also one of the most demanding athletically as it requires the use of almost every muscle in a player’s body at once. Playing soccer in a league or just for fun is a great way to receive a cardiovascular and aerobic workout. It can lower your body fat and increase flexibility and endurance. The health benefits of this sport are exponentially higher than some others due to the constant switching between walking, running, and sprinting which improves muscle tone and bolsters bone strength.
Please note, there are only 3 sizes available for this model; size 5, size 4, and size 3. So it is crucial that if you are looking for size 2 or size 1, then this is not an option for you. So, choose the right size before buying so that you don’t regret after receiving the purchase. If you are not sure which size means what then click here to read our guideline.
The downside? They’re expensive. Like, really expensive, depending on which one you get. Whether you really need one depends on your budget and how you’re going to be using your ball. For example, I use official match balls for practicing freekicks because they fly through the air really nicely. However, I don’t use them for training because if I lose my ball I’ll be set back $100-$300.
Having just the right soccer ball can make it easy to sharpen your skills each time you step on the soccer pitch. Official-sized Nike soccer balls provide a realistic feel and bounce as you move down the pitch, or choose colorful Brava soccer balls to show off support for your country's World Cup team. Pick up adidas soccer balls that highlight your love for your favorite football club, so that everyone will know if you support Man U or Chelsea.

Our soccer balls can be bought economically in sets of six or more, or singly. Shopping online at Epic Sports can save you up to 60 percent if not more off retail prices on your favorite brands.
Whether it was a size 3, 4, or 5, we found that the Adidas Starlancer performed as it should. This allows beginning players at any age to begin getting a feel for what it is like to have the ball at their feet.

2010 Jabulani Adidas This ball has 8 panels. A special variant was used for the final match, the gold Jo'bulani (picture on the left), which was named after "Jo'burg", a standard South African nickname for Johannesburg, site of the final game. The ball was notable for the controversy it attracted, with players and fans contending that its aerodynamics were unusually unpredictable.

With so many of them currently available in the market, it isn’t easy to find the best soccer ball without prior research. When soccer has evolved significantly in the past few decades, the soccer ball has changed with it.

Of everything that we have analyzed about these soccer balls, one of the biggest things that you can look at for is the external material of the ball. TPU seems like it is the standard in durability for soccer balls in this price range.

“Had I seen the drag curve for Jabulani prior to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa I would have been calling FIFA and Adidas saying please don’t use this ball,” Goff says. The fact that the Jabulani became unpredictable and beach-ball-like during these long passes really helped Spain win in 2010, Goff says. The Spanish team relied almost entirely on short precise passes, without long kicks that became unstable with the Jabulani ball. “That was the perfect example of a team that really fit the style of play for that ball,” Goff says.
My friend and I were kicking a soccer ball around the front yard. It was maybe 2007 and I was getting ready to leave for a couple weeks on a trial. Trying to be cute, I tried a handling skill where I flipped the ball up behind my back and then kick it with my heel so it comes back over my head again. So I kicked the ball too hard, it goes out into the street, and a truck promptly runs it over.
Trendy names, fancy designs, and higher prices don't necessarily mean some soccer balls are better than others. Don't fall for advertising hype. A moderately-priced soccer ball might perform and hold up just as well as the one that costs three times as much. With today's advanced technologies and materials replacing good old-fashioned leather, there are many soft and durable, lightweight synthetic soccer balls that may just as well suite you, in fact leather soccer balls are no long the norm since they tend to absorb moisture. There are also things you can do to extend the life of your new soccer ball, such as storing it correctly, cleaning it, and using it properly. But the mark of a truly sweet soccer ball comes down to feel and performance, which is highly individual.
Using a wind tunnel, Goff has researched the flight properties of the Telstar 18, drawing its drag curve to discover where the ball might dip and swerve in the air, similar to the knuckleball free kicks favored by Cristiano Ronaldo “Even if aerodynamically the Telstar 18 isn’t that different from the Brazuca, it’s still going to wobble a little bit differently because the panel shapes are different,” Goff says.
“I kind of feel sympathy for the players and especially the goalkeepers that have to get used to a new ball,” Goff says. So far the Telstar 18 has received criticism from a few goalkeepers that played with it starting in November, unhappy with how it moves in the air and the way the surface feels. Goalkeepers, unlike every other player on the pitch, have to predict where the ball will go in order to block it, while also not having the freedom to run around the field to adjust as the ball flies. That means goalies often have the most complaints about a new design. “Every time there’s a World Cup and a new ball the goalkeepers complain, because they’ve been given a new ball,” says Goff.
If you have a youth player for whom you are purchasing this soccer ball, then take note that the Size 3 ball in this series is closer to a Size 4 ball. The weight and feel is still accurate, so it is good for home practice and play. The sizing just might make it difficult to take this ball to practice for some players. It doesn’t come with a 32-panel design, but it does have the traditional hexagon panels over the entire cover of the ball. This allows players to work on some ball movement skills, as well as placement drills, with relative ease at home.
When a tournament is held (like the FIFA World Cup), the sponsor of the event will design a brand new ball. These are official match balls – they’re used by professionals during real matches. They are designed to the highest possible build quality, have textured surfaces to improve stability in flight, and feature thermally-bonded panels for durability.

You would think that choosing the right set of mountain bike tires would be an easy choice but can be a surprisingly tough decision! There are so many factors to consider to ensure that you’re picking the right set of mountain bike tires for you. So, which factors are the most important for picking the right mountain bike tires? While there are many options, the most important ones to consider when selecting mountain bike tires are where you ride, how you ride, and your type of bike.
These answers will impact your decisions for a specific tire diameter, width, and tread pattern. The answers to these questions will help steer you in the right direction for selecting the correct set of mountain bike tires. Some of the most important tire features include tire diameter, width, tread, a tube versus tubeless setup, and many more.
In this review, I will share some steps in choosing the right tires for your mountain bike. Here are 7 easy steps to choose the right tires for a mountain bike.
1. KNOW (OR FIGURE OUT) YOUR DISCIPLINE OR RIDER PROFILE
Ken/Vittoria: It’s critical to start by asking what type of rider you are. Do you ride XC, where light weight and rolling speed are priority? Or are you more focused on downhill, where grip and strength are what you need most? Or are you somewhere in between? Think about where on the XC to DH spectrum you most comfortably fit. If you’re looking to buy multiple sets of tires, think about which types of rides you’re trying to excel at with your purchase.
2. MATCH UP A WIDTH AND KNOB DESIGN FOR THAT RIDER PROFILE
Bobby/Maxxis: Let’s say you’re into cross-country riding. You’ll need something like the IKON with short, fast knobs. Or, for all-mountain riding with more focus on shredding the downs, something like the Ardent or High Roller II, that deliver more beef and bite.

Shrink Your Muffin Top! Fat-Blasting Workout
So Long Love Handles!
Fave jeans a little snug? When it comes to banishing waistband bulge, the best strategy is to use moves that engage multiple muscle groups at once. Miami-based fitness expert Jessica Smith, star of the
10 Pounds DOWN: Cardio Abs
DVD, designed this routine that combines calorie-torching cardio and super-effective core sculptors to help you melt that muffin top fast. Start today and in a few weeks, you'll be slipping into those skinnies with ease!
You'll need: A set of moderately heavy dumbbells (5-15 lbs, depending on your level)
How it works: Do 1 set of the recommended number of reps for each move back-to-back. Once you finish the last move, rest for 1-2 minutes and then repeat the full circuit 2 more times (3 circuits total). For best results, do this workout on four non-consecutive days per week (alternating with three days of your favorite cardio workout), in addition to a healthy diet.
Squats are a great exercise for sculpting your whole body, and the extra chop and swing motion in this move means your abs will be working overtime. Plus, the powerful pace puts your heart rate in the cardio zone (zapping fat faster)!
How to do it: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding the ends of one dumbbell. As you push your hips back and lower into a squat, bend your arms and "chop" the dumbbell across your body to the outside of your left hip. As you press back up to standing, extend your arms and swing the dumbbell over to the right side of your body, turning your torso to the right (the dumbbell should stay at chest level as you twist), pivoting your left heel off the floor, and rotating your left hip to power the swing. Quickly return to your squat and repeat the chop.
Form tip: Brace your abs in tight as you perform the swing. It should feel as though your abs are catching the dumbbell at the top of the movement.
60-second cardio burst: When you've finished 15 reps/side, do as many jumping jacks as you can in a row until 1 minute is up.
Core Control Rear Lunge
This amped-up lunge targets your arms, shoulders, legs, glutes, and core.
How to do it: Grab a dumbbell in your right hand and stand with your feet together. Extend your right arm overhead, palm facing forward, and your left arm straight out to the side at shoulder height. Step your left leg back into a low lunge, keeping your arm straight up and abs tight. Slowly rise up and lift your left knee in front of your body, bending your right elbow in until your knee and elbow are almost touching. Keep your balance and extend your left leg behind you (without touching the floor) as you press your right arm overhead. That's one rep. Do 15 reps on the first side, and then switch legs and repeat.
Form tip: As you bend your elbow to your knee, focus on exhaling and pulling your belly button in to deeply engage your abs and help you balance.
60-second cardio burst: Run in place, driving your knees as high as you can toward your chest and pumping your arms, as quickly as possible until 1 minute is up.
Belly-Blasting Biceps Curl
To blast belly fat, you need to develop more lean muscle all over your body, not just in your midsection. This move keeps your legs and abs working while sculpting stronger, slimmer arms.
How to do it: Grab a dumbbell in your right hand and shift your weight to your right leg. Extend your left leg out to the side, toe pointed. Curl the dumbbell up as you turn your torso to the left and lift your left knee across to your right arm. Slowly untwist and return your arm and leg to start.
Form tip: Exhale on the twist and curl movement, imagining you are squeezing the front of your rib cage together as you turn your body into your knee. As you untwist, keep your abs braced in tight as you inhale and lower your foot lightly to the floor.
60-second cardio burst: Jump rope (if you don't have a rope, just pretend!) for one minute.
Cardio Core Crawl
This fast-paced move pumps up your heart rate and strengthens your core at the same time.
Reps: 20, alternating sides each time
How to do it: Start on your hands and knees, with your abs braced in tight. Keeping your back naturally arched, lift your knees a few inches off the ground (without pushing your hips up in the air). Quickly step your right hand forward on the floor, slightly in front of your right shoulder, as you bend your left knee up towards your chest, lift your foot off the ground. Keep your abs tight and your hips below your shoulders the entire time. Step your foot back to the floor as you return your hand back to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. That's one rep. Continue alternating sides as quickly as you can for 20 reps total.
Form tip: If it's too challenging to do this move with your knees off the floor, try lightly resting them on the ground until you are able to do more.
60-second cardio burst: Do another set of jumping jacks (get creative with this set, you can make them scissor jacks, or travel your basic jack from side to side or forward and back) for 1 minute.
Turkish Plank Push
Sculpt your shoulders, arms, abs, and hips with this total-body plank variation.
How to do it: Grab a dumbbell in your right hand and sit on your left hip, left leg extended out straight under you, foot flexed. Bend your right knee and place your foot flat on the floor just behind your left leg. Place your left hand directly below your shoulder and in line with your left hip to support your body. Bend your right elbow so that it's lightly touching your left thigh, palm facing forward. Press the weight straight up, extending your arm to the ceiling as you lift your hips off the floor. Your left leg should stay straight with the edge of your foot on the ground the entire time. Push up with your right leg (knee stays bent, your right heel lifts slightly) for support. Slowly lower back down, bending your arm back to start, and lightly tap your left hip to the floor (don't rest on it at the bottom). Immediately repeat.
Form tip: Instead of using your supporting arm to lift, focus on lifting up with the bottom side of your torso to really engage your core muscles.
60-second cardio burst: Run in place again, but this time position your feet slightly wider than your hips (as if you were standing in two tires), and push side to side as you drive your knees up. Continue for 1 minute.
What happens when you combine a classic upper-body exercise with a super-effective lower-body toner? Major core activation! And you'll also work your back, legs, and glutes.
How to do it: Grab a dumbbell in your left hand and stand in a split stance with your left foot forward, right heel lifted off the floor. Reach both arms toward the floor as you hinge forward from your hips, keeping your back naturally arched, and lower into a lunge position. Shift your weight into your front leg and rise up out of your lunge, lifting your back leg off the floor to hip height as you row the dumbbell to the left side of your body. Slowly lower back down into your lunge position, returning to start, and repeat.
Form tip: If it's too challenging to lift your back leg up, start by keeping your toes lightly touching the ground as you perform the row.
This move targets your triceps and works the abdominal wall to give you both flat abs and toned arms.
How to do it: Grab a pair of dumbbells and lie faceup on the floor with your arms straight above you, palms facing in. Bend your hips and knees 90 degrees. Keep your elbows pointed forward and about shoulder-width apart as you lower the dumbbells just outside your ears. Brace your abs in tight and lower your legs slightly towards the floor (maintaining the 90-degree bend in your knees). Slowly extend your arms straight up over your shoulders, as you lift your head and shoulders off the floor and bring your knees in closer to your chest.
Form tip: Be sure to keep your lower back pressed into the floor as you lower your legs in preparation for the crunch. If it's too tough to crunch up during the extension, do the move with your head and shoulders resting on the ground.
60-second cardio burst: Repeat your favorite cardio burst (jacks, running, or jumping rope) for 1 minute before repeating the entire circuit again.

It Is Never Too Late to Start Martial Arts
June 14, 2023
Martial arts is often associated with young, agile individuals who start their training at an early age. However, the idea that martial arts is only for the young is a misconception. In reality, it is never too late to start martial arts, regardless of your age or fitness level.

In this article, we will explore why it is never too late to begin your martial arts journey.
First and foremost, martial arts is a highly adaptable discipline that can be tailored to suit individuals of all ages and abilities. Many martial arts schools and instructors understand the diverse needs of their students and offer programs specifically designed for beginners or older adults. These programs take into account factors such as flexibility, joint mobility, and physical limitations, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Starting martial arts later in life can bring about significant physical improvements. Regular training can enhance strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, all of which are essential components of physical fitness. As we age, maintaining and improving these attributes becomes increasingly important for overall health and well-being.

Furthermore, martial arts offers a multitude of mental and emotional benefits, regardless of age. It promotes mental discipline, focus, and resilience, qualities that are valuable both on and off the training mat. Martial arts training can boost self-confidence and self-esteem as you overcome challenges and progress in your skills. It also provides an outlet for stress relief and emotional release, allowing you to channel your energy in a positive and productive manner.
One of the great aspects of martial arts is that it fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among practitioners. Regardless of age, you can find yourself surrounded by like-minded individuals who share a passion for martial arts. The supportive and encouraging environment can be incredibly motivating and inspiring, making the martial arts journey even more enjoyable and rewarding. Building connections with fellow practitioners can lead to lasting friendships and a sense of belonging.
Starting martial arts later in life can also serve as a personal growth opportunity. It challenges you to step out of your comfort zone, embrace new experiences, and continually learn and improve. Martial arts training encourages self-reflection, self-discipline, and perseverance, qualities that are valuable at any stage of life. It can instill a sense of purpose and direction, helping you develop a growth mindset and pursue new goals.
It is important to remember that everyone’s martial arts journey is unique. Progress may take longer compared to someone who started at a younger age, but the focus should be on personal growth and self-improvement rather than comparing oneself to others. With consistency, dedication, and proper guidance from experienced instructors, you can make significant strides in your martial arts training and achieve your goals, regardless of when you start.
In conclusion, it is never too late to start martial arts. Regardless of your age or fitness level, martial arts offers a wealth of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. It provides a platform for personal growth, improved physical fitness, and the development of valuable life skills.

Though not an official tournament sponsor (we don't blame 'em, that revenue hasn't ended up in the most trustworthy of hands), Nike has made a habit of being inescapable come World Cup time; they're the kit supplier for a stack of competing teams and they also get creative with their promo and sales work on the ground. In that vein, they've taken over Vancouver sneaker store Livestock for the duration of the comp, making it a destination for watching games and perusing Swooshed soccer product. In addition to clever decor details like a massive football chandelier and a turf display with framed national crests, a space next to Livestock has been converted into a faux laundromat and tailoring business, offering gloriously un-digital ordering of NIKEid goods. Flick through the pics above to get an idea for what we're ranting about, or better yet, head to the store and see it for reals – it's on East Pender Street.

It can be difficult to play golf especially for those who are new to the sport. But worry not we’ve got your back! We’ve put together a group of the best golf experts to offer you all the tips you need to enhance your game. Whether you’re struggling with your swing, your posture, or you’re just beginning, we’ve got the advice to help you out.
Get a hold of success
If your shots are slicing, it’s probably because the clubface isn’t closing enough to absorb the impact. For a fix attempt to separate your grips. Hold the club in its usual position using one hand, then slide the other one down until the point where the grip is positioned against the shaft. This will allow you to square the club’s face at impact and keep the handle pointed towards the belly button. Make sure you brush the grass vigorously while you work on this.
Stand tall and proud
Your posture is essential to your success on the golf course. Stand with a club pressed against your thighs. You can then lean forward from your hips while extensing your knees. Make sure your back is straight, so that your arms hang down naturally. Then, grip the club with your gloved hand , and make sure whether it’s at an angle of 45 degrees towards your forearm. Voila you’re in the perfect position!
A misaligned face on the clubface could result in shots going off course. To prevent this from happening, put an alignment stick just outside the golf ball, so that it creates a 90 degree angle to the target line. When you are ready your club, you should place the leading edge of the club using the stick, then return it to its original place. This is an easy method to ensure the clubface is straight each time.
Practice makes perfect
If you’re stuck inside and would like for improvement in your putter skills, get your putter in hand and make use of the baseboards to assess your path. Put your putter in a line within a baseboard, and then start your stroke. If you land on the board, something is wrong with your path. The aim is to avoid the board by using a straight or arcing stroke.
Widen your horizons
Speed begins at the start the swing. To boost the ball’s speed increase the width of your takeaway. Try to move the club back to the farthest distance you can while creating the maximum width. This will allow your body to naturally move along with you, and will create greater speed when you lower yourself at the bottom.
Make sure you drive with precision and distance
Distance is crucial however, accuracy is more crucial. To master both, you need to extend your arms fully through the force. You can tee up the ball, and put another tee about six inches from the first at a 45-degree angle. The aim is to strike the ball from the first tee before swinging the clubhead across the second. This will allow you increase power and speed in your swing.
Don’t forget to stretch
Golf is a physically demanding sport, so it’s essential to stretch prior to playing. Take a few minutes to warm your muscles before getting ready for the round. Try stretching your shoulders, back and legs as well as your arms to help improve mobility and flexibility. This will enable you to generate more power in your swing and lower the chance of injury.
Keep your head down
Keep your head low crucial to maintaining good form throughout your swing. When you’re taking your swing, focus on keeping your head low and your eyes focused on the ball. This will help you to keep your balance and control during your swing.
Keep your eyes on the finish
The final part to your shot is just as important as your beginning. When you are swinging through the ball, concentrate on finishing high and in balance. This will help you to generate more speed and power when you swing, and it will also help you avoid falling down or out of balance at the end of your swing.
Join clubs from different clubs
Golf clubs come in a variety of shapes and sizes and each has its own qualities and flaws. Experiment with different clubs to find the one that is most suitable for you. It’s essential to play with different types of clubs, including irons, woods wedges and putters to discover what you prefer best. Playing with different clubs will let you know what the advantages and disadvantages of every one and how they can be used to achieve various shots.
Keep your eyes on the target
Being able to clearly visualize your target in mind is essential while playing golf. Before every shot, take a moment to pinpoint your goal and visualize the shot you’d like create. This will allow you concentrate your mind and increase your chance that you hit your ball where you want it to go. Focus at the target throughout your entire swing , and try to strike the ball cleanly. Be aware that your goal does not always have been the hole, it can also be an area along the fairway or in a particular area or area of green.
Play with a pro or take a lesson
The experience of learning from a professional or taking a class is a great way to improve your game. A professional golfer or coach can give you personalised coaching and feedback to help determine areas of your game that require improvement. They can also provide instructions and tips that will aid you in improving specific aspects of your swing. Even players with experience can benefit from lessons, because they will help you fine-tune your gameand assist to keep the technique and strategy sharp.
Above all, remember to have fun! Golf can be a challenging and rewarding game, but it’s crucial to be enjoying yourself and not get focused on trying to perfect every shot. Be patient, concentrate on your technique, and enjoy the experience of playing on the course. With time and practice you’ll begin to see your skills increase, and you’ll be on the road to becoming a successful golfer!

Easton’s flagship baseball bat line for 2018 is the Easton Ghost X. The Mako is no longer. We have watched players swing the new Ghost X at length. The USSSA drop 5 is highly recommendable. The drop 10 and BBCOR versions are solid. The USA version of the bat is, to put it mildly, difficult to recommend due to some strange vibration issues it creates in the hands. Easton never quite admitted as much, but when we and a number of others hit the bat it just didn’t feel right.
2018 Ghost X Video
2018 Ghost X Models
Our hitters generally liked the USSSA version of the bat. In fact, the drop 5 2 3/4 USSSA version is a monster and one of our favorite drop 5’s out there. The drop 10 is a solid bat recommendable for serious players who like a two piece composite but don’t want the CF Zen. The USA version of the bat has something wrong with it (as many of our hitters and others online have pointed out). It rings the hands in an unconventional way and doesn’t feel right off the bat for many hitters. There are some that have had positive experiences with the bat but we were not one of them.
The Ghost X recommendation for 2018 depends on what class of bat you are looking for. Generally, the BBCOR and USSSA versions of the bats are highly recommendable. The USA version in the drop 10 struggles to impress. But, the drop 8 and 5 USA Ghost X are decent bats.
Reviews By Model
In terms of a two piece composite bat with a light swing, robust model offering and prestigious pedigree, you’ll struggle to find a bat similar to the Ghost X. The arguable competitor is DeMarini’s CF Zen. Others may very well add in the 917 Prime from Louisville Slugger, but we think that a stretch.
In terms of a two piece composite bat with a light swing, the world is your oyster. Virtually every serious bat company makes a two piece composite bat, including Marucci (Hex Connect), Axe (Avenge), Rawlings (Quatro) and the likes.
In terms of overall set up, the 2018 Ghost X and 2017 Mako Beast are similar. That is, they are both two piece composite bats with a big barrel and a light swing.
However, there are considerable upgrades to the composite structure Easton uses in the Ghost, insomuch that calling it a Mako wasn’t fair. The new composite structure used to design the Ghost intends to extend the length of the sweet spot. Note, this isn’t a claim the barrel is larger. Instead, the claim is the new composite structure allows for a longer sweet spot on the same sized barrel.
For the record, the MAKO Beast had one of the largest barrels on the market in 2017. So, the 2018 Ghost X having a barrel just as big, if not ever so slightly bigger, means it is still huge.
As well, Easton claims to have updated the connective piece. It is no longer the CXN which has been on the MAKO since its inception. Instead, it is referred to as connection+. The idea is a more durable connective piece via some redesigned innards.
The Ghost X is a two piece composite bat built with a big barrel and a light swing. Depending on the drop, the barrel size tends to be larger than average. It comes in a number of sizes and drop options. It is, for all intents and purposes, Easton’s flagship bat for 2018.
It uses a connection piece called the CXN and delivers generally good feel on contact in the BBCOR and USSSA spaces.

With Wimbledon now in full flow, there’s sure to be plenty of aces (and double faults) flying around the court. And why wouldn’t there be? The best way to win points in a tennis match, without exerting too much energy running around, is with the serve.
But is yours up to scratch? To have an effective serve, you don’t just need to be accurate and ferocious. You need to have perfected the whole motion required to twist your shoulders, transfer power from your legs and arms, and throw your whole body behind your swing. This takes practice, and the right kinds of exercises in the gym to develop those key muscles to aid your ace-hitting abilities.
We recommend trying these to help you get started.
Single Leg Squats
Starting from the ground up, your legs provide the basis for your serve. They anchor you to court, and transfer power up into your arm. You’ll need strong leg muscles to provide you with that drive forward and the extra push of your toes as your jump to hit the serve down and across the net.
You’ll also need good balance and stability in your hips, which is where the single leg squat comes in. With a bench or chair behind you, bend your knees slightly, and raise one leg off the floor. Then sit down into the usual squat position, working that single leg on the floor as your bum moves back and your knees bends further.
Remember not to let your knee extend over your toe, as with a normal squat, and keep your chest up. Perform a set of between 8-12 squats on a single leg, and then repeat on the opposite one.
To perfect that powerful explosion as you move from a bent over position with the ball in your hand to a stretched out body ready to strike, you’ll need to grab a medicine ball and practice those overhead slams.
With the ball at waist height, bring it up right over your head, stretching up as tall as possible, pulling your stomach in. Then in one powerful move, push down with your hands and slam the ball as hard as you can in front of you – so hard that your feet may even leave the floor.
Crouch down and retrieve the ball in a fluid motion, returning to the overhead position. Repeat for 3 sets of 12 repetitions, and increase the medicine ball weight if you’d like to work your arms more.
To work on that twisting motion that gives a serve its superior edge, you’ll need to keep that medicine ball and practice a movement that involves rotating your body and throwing to the side. This will develop your flexibility and the power you’ll want out on the court.
Stand next to a wall (or a partner) with your hips side on (perpendicular), so you’re facing down the length of it. Hold a medicine ball down to your hips, with your arms extended, and rotate your torso away from the wall. Now swing your hips – and your arms – around in a powerful motion, hurling the ball into the side of the wall.
Be sure to keep your back flat, and your chest up. Catch the ball quickly with your hands, and rotate back away again, ready to repeat. Complete 8-12 reps on one side, before turning around and repeating on the opposite one.
Finally, a lot of the skill, pressure and stability in a tennis serve comes from your shoulders, so you’ll need to make sure that yours are up to the task. That means strengthening them at every opportunity, and a great way to do this is to think about the letters Y, T, W and L.
They can each be done standing, or lying over a physioball. A ‘Y’, as with the YMCA, involves you raising your arms over your head and gliding your shoulder blades down and out, opening up your chest. For the ’T’, you’ll need to do a similar movement, crunching you shoulder blades back and raising your arms up out to the side.
The ‘W’ requires you to bend your elbows to 90 degrees, and then glide your shoulder blades backward and downwards, before partially extending your arms to form a W shape. And finally, for the ‘L’ shape, you should point your elbows at 90 degrees up to the ceiling, shrugging your shoulders and then extending your arms out in front of you.
Hold each movement for 5 seconds, in a set of three. You can then increase the intensity and effort by holding for longer, adding more reps, or using light hand-held weights.

A professional cyclist may have the best cycling skills, but if he is riding at 30mph in the midst of a packed group of cyclists, then the slightest error often committed by someone else can lead to a severe injury. During cycling, the legs are constrained to the pedal, and the cyclist has to use the upper limb to cushion in case of a fall. Thus, it is the upper body which is usually involved in overuse or traumatic injuries. These injuries can be in the shoulder region, hands, wrist, elbows and sometimes even head which are extremely dangerous.
Types of injuries
The upper limbs; hand, wrist, and elbow need to have flexibility for maneuvering the bicycle. Hence, protective gear for them is not practical. However, the head or facial injuries can be avoided by using a proper helmet. Major fractures occur only during high-speed falls, and the most classic cases are fractures in the collarbone. This type of fracture happens when the cyclist tumbles over the handlebars, and as a result, the force on his shoulders and arms leads to a breakage in the collarbone.
There are certain chronic conditions which may develop due to prolonged uncomfortable position during cycling. They are-
- Gripping the handlebars and use of brake or gear pedals can aggravate tendinitis which typically involves the flexor tendons.
- Prolonged hyperextension posture of the wrist while cycling can lead to Carpal tunnel syndrome which is a compression neuropathy of the median nerve in the wrist. This condition requires check up from a surgeon or a neurologist.
- Another chronic condition is tennis elbow. This condition can be treated by experts painlessly.
- Another condition due to hand position can be Osteoarthritis. This typically happens at the base of the thumb.
With Tour de France coming up, here is some advice on preventing injuries while cycling.
- The first and foremost advice to the cyclist is that they should ensure that their bike is in a perfect condition. You may end up hurting your hamstring or muscle at the back of your thigh if your saddle is too low and this can have an adverse effect of tightening of your knees and back. Even an incorrect handlebar position can cause pain. So, it is better to take professional help for a professional event.
- It is always beneficial to maintain a good amount of flexibility. Stretching your lower legs, back, and, hamstrings are good ways to maintain flexibility. Typically cyclist ends up with tightness in hamstrings or a soft tissue pull. Therefore, it is better to warm up before you begin cycling and take enough rest post the ride.
- Maintaining good strength in your legs, upper body and back is also critical. Different types of strength building exercise particularly for these areas off the bike will help you in preventing injuries.
- Cycling involves repetition of the same action again and again for a long time. Hence, it is necessary that you do some cross training. This will help in releasing the tightness that might develop because of sustained and repetitive cycling action. Cross-training activities such as weights or running would help you in improving your performance.
- Last but not the least, get a good massage. This will rejuvenate you and help in reducing muscle soreness, tension and will help to prevent any cycling injuries.
A timely and precise treatment to any injury or condition can help the cyclist to return to the sport and dominate. To get help with your cycling and any injuries you might be carrying, call one of our practices now.
