‘I Went on the Whole30 Diet and This Is What Happened’

  ‘I Went on the Whole30 Diet and This Is What Happened’ I t’s that time of year again, when all of your friends and family members are making resolutions to be healthier in 2020. Expect to see lots of the following on Instagram in the next month: #NewYearsResolution, #NewYearNewYou, #Whole30. And for anyone looking to try the latter, I applaud you — and I encourage you to do it. I decided to give the much-buzzed-about Whole30 diet a try last November. The Whole30: The 30-Day Guide to Total Health and Food Freedom$14.99 I was in a bit of a life funk, in between jobs, living in Philadelphia yet trying to move to New York City. I had a lot of free time, yet somehow I felt bloated, low-energy, and had issues sleeping. Basically, I was in need of a physical and mental reset. (Does this resonate with anyone?)

  APL’s New TechLoom Tracer Sneakers Are Worth the Hype WE PUT THIS SLEEK LOW-CUT STYLE TO THE TEST. Don’t be that guy who doesn’t wear the right shoes for his workout.

That’s most likely because guys didn’t care to flex the proper kicks when no one was there to see them. But here’s the thing: If you’re like me, you realized the one-two punch of worn-out workout shoes and barefoot WFHing was a knock-out success for messing up your feet.

He devised a  workout  that can be completed in 20 minutes or less, consisting of moves that combine bodyweight and dumbbell  exercises . The routine is designed to be suitable for any fitness level; for beginners, Cavaliere recommends using a pair of 10-pound dumbbells, 30 pounds for intermediate level, and 50 pounds for people who are more advanced. Each round starts with a variation of the  dumbbell  pushup crawl: the dumbbell death march. Beginning in a pushup position with a dumbbell in each hand, you then “walk” by rowing each dumbbell to travel forward.
