Weight loss exercises at home in 1 week

DANI Dyer showed off her one-stone weight loss today just five weeks after welcoming baby son Santiago. The Love Island star took to her Instagram Stories and highlighted her figure in a chic light grey-coloured loungwear set from CTW Boutique. Sitting on her carpet cross-legged, the new mum looked glowing in the selfie as she worked her hair into a sleek top knot and sported a pair of black-frame glasses. Earlier this week, the 24-year-old revealed she had lost a stone since giving birth to her first child - but insisted she's "still got a long way to go". The reality TV star welcomed her first child on January 23. When quizzed by a fan about losing her pregnancy weight, Dani said she's already knocked off 14lbs. However, Dani insisted she is in no rush to lose weight and is instead focusing on her newborn. "I've lost a stone!" Dani wrote on her Instagram Story. "But I've got a long way to go. It's horrible when none of your clothes fit. She continued: … [Read more...] about Dani Dyer proudly reveals her one-stone weight loss after giving birth to baby Santiago five weeks ago

SINGAPORE: At his heaviest, Vasoo Kesevan weighed 212 kilogrammes. Even before he reached that point, he was hurting. Whenever he took his children to the playground, he could see some of the parents looking at him, “as if they’d never seen a big-sized guy in their lives before”. It was the kind of look he got wherever he went. Sometimes there was more, for example once when he was waiting for a taxi with his two children. “A small boy — I think he must’ve been (in) Kindergarten Two or Primary One, somewhere around there — looked at me. He started to tell his mother, ‘Look at this fat man,’” recalled the 47-year-old. “The mother didn’t say anything.” These are stories that one doctor has heard many times before. Tan Chun Hai, a consultant in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital’s (KTPH’s) department of general surgery, has seen many patients like Vasoo. “They have difficulty fitting into the society. They take up more than one MRT seat (and) have difficulty getting on the bus,” he … [Read more...] about He couldn’t lose weight on his own. Then he opted for surgery that’s gaining ground

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has enforced the strictest curbs on movement of people for at least three weeks to try and control the spread of COVID-19 in the country, where the death toll has reached 335.

Photograph: Carl Recine/Reuters In a televised address to the nation on Monday evening, he said while no prime minister wants to make such demands on the population, the situation was such that he was forced to clamp down on people's movement and crackdown on any gatherings of more than two people. With his central message calling on people to restrict their movements outside their homes only for the very basic essentials, Johnson said, "From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction "you must stay at home". People will only be allowed to leave their home to … [Read more...] about UK goes into 3-week lockdown to tackle COVID spread

For the vast majority of patients with debilitating knee pain, joint replacement surgery is considered an “elective” procedure. While it’s true that one’s life doesn’t depend on it, what about quality of life? Many people hobbling about on painful knees would hardly regard the surgery as optional. Consider, for example, two people I know: A 56-year-old man passionate about tennis, who can no longer run for a bus, let alone on the court; and a 67-year-old otherwise healthy woman with bone-on-bone arthritis, who can’t walk without a cane or stand for more than a few minutes. They have reason to think it may be time to replace their worn-out knees with artificial ones, an operation that is now among the most frequently performed costly medical procedures in the United States. But some leading medical economists are asking whether this surgery is being done too often or too soon on patients who have not adequately explored less invasive approaches to relieve their pain and improve … [Read more...] about Is it time to rethink the need for invasive knee replacement surgery?

KATIE Price is set to make the emotional decision of who will care for her disabled son Harvey after she dies in her new BBC documentary. The former glamour model, 42, has told producers she wants to discuss contingency plans for her eldest child’s care on camera for the follow up to Harvey and Me , which aired in January, in a bid to raise awareness of the issue. Katie’s choice of who will look after Harvey , who has severe autism, a rare complex genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome and is partially blind, is complicated by the fact she has only been dating car dealer boyfriend Carl Woods, 32, for nine months.

To help you get out of your workout rut, CNA Lifestyle spoke to various trainers to highlight the specific exercises that will let you break out of your fitness funk. This week, we focus on the quadriceps or thighs. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR QUADRICEPS ARE WEAK There’s good reason your thigh muscles are called quadriceps or quads for short. There are four (four in Latin is “quattuor”) large muscles on the front of your thigh: The rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis. WATCH: Next-Level Workout: How to bolster your upper back against neck and shoulder aches These powerful muscles are what enable you to extend your knee, flex the hip, adduct the thigh, stabilise the kneecap, and let you rotate your leg at the hip. In short, your quads are the work horses that let you get up from a chair, walk, climb stairs and squat. So, what happens when you have weak quads? Thunder thighs and other unflattering names aside, weak quads may affect … [Read more...] about Next-Level Workout: How to strengthen your quadriceps

SINGAPORE: As I took off my gas mask, I could feel the tear gas stinging my face, slowly seeping into my eyes and throat. In 15 seconds, the burning in my eyes started to intensify and eventually, I could barely breathe. I hurriedly swung open the heavy doors of the room and gulped in the fresh air as I stumbled out. This is the kind of intense training that members of the Police Tactical Unit (PTU) go through. The unit is part of the Singapore Police Force‘s Special Operations Command (SOC). It is responsible for a broad range of public order tasks, from dealing with civil disturbances to quelling violent riots. Recently, journalists were invited to experience first-hand what it was like to be part of the PTU, including drills as well as being exposed to CS gas, commonly known as tear gas. The first order of the day was to put on the Public Order Protective Gear, which would protect officers dealing with dangerous public order situations such as riots. We were tasked … [Read more...] about The riot squad: How the Police Tactical Unit keeps the peace

To help you get out of your workout rut, CNA Lifestyle spoke to various trainers to highlight the specific exercises that will let you break out of your fitness funk. This week, which marks the final instalment of the Next-Level Workout series, we focus on the triceps. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR TRICEPS ARE WEAK When compared to the biceps, the triceps brachii (or triceps for short) are often overlooked. They are less likely to be worked than the biceps, perhaps only as an afterthought – or when you still have enough juice to crank out more reps. But like the opposing muscles in the other parts of your body – the quadriceps and hamstrings, for instance – strong triceps are the supporting cast to your leading act the biceps. They’re what make your upper arms wobble unflatteringly when neglected, so they are essential if you want to build some serious guns.

Sarah Ferguson's former royal dresser battered sleeping Tom Cressman with a cricket bat before stabbing him in the chest with a kitchen knife. After the horrific attack, Andrews vanished for four days before eventually being found in a "distressed" state in her car. While Andrews was on the run, Fergie left two voicemail messages pleading with her former dresser to hand herself into the authorities.
