Fitness Reading/Listening For The Week : ‘Futureproof : Build Resilience, Feel Younger, Live Longer’ (by Davinia Taylor)
We’ve looked at the areas of aging, nutrition and resilience many, many times over the years.
Davinia Taylor’s ‘Futureproof : Build Resilience, Feel Younger, Live Longer‘ feels like a conversation on health & fitness with a good friend. A mix of interesting information and fascinating insights.
Wonderful.

Jabees PEACE (Under-Pillow Sleep Speaker)
If you’re in the habit of listening to soothing sounds/music/audiobooks (and I’m often in that group myself), the Jabees PEACE pillow speaker looks ideal. Bluetooth connectivity (so you can use your own audio, and change it whenever you like) and USB-C charging.
Perfect.

Train Glutes Like an Athlete Not an Influencer (Jason and Lauren – @jasonandlauren)
Interesting exercises – particularly the Landmine Curtsy Lunge. Unusual combination.
NB : you might also like to check out some of our favourites. Enjoy.
