Cyber Monday sales from retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom on brands like Lululemon, Adidas, and Mirror make it possible to outfit not only your home gym but your workout wardrobe — and all the other essentials needed to tackle your health and fitness goals. 

Some of the best Cyber Monday fitness deals we’ve spotted so far include $50 off Amazon’s best-selling treadmill, $45 off an adjustable dumbbell set, and $60 off a stationary bike. Of course, nothing will go better with a fresh home gym setup than a new pair of leggings

Collecting the new reusable face masks was a smooth process for many Singapore residents on the first day of distribution by Temasek Foundation yesterday.

Those whom The Straits Times spoke to said the vending machines were easy to use as they simply had to select their mask size and scan their identification card. Each person is entitled to one free mask kit, which contains a pair of reusable masks and three mask filters.

Nov. 30 (UPI) — Nearly half of adults in the United States report that concerns over unexpected medical bills keeps them from seeking care, according to a survey by the American Heart Association.

In addition, more than 40% of respondents indicated that if they received an unexpected medical bill for $1,000, they would not have the money to pay for it, the data showed.

Two-thirds of respondents with private health insurance also said they have received an unexpected medical bill, and of those, one in three was not able to pay it.

Perhaps as a result, more than 80% of survey respondents would like to see Congress pass legislation to end surprise medical billing, the American Heart Association said.

“Surprise medical bills are a major driver of financial anxiety and disruption for families nationwide that are already straining under the weight of an ongoing pandemic,” said Mitchell S. V. Elkind,

Immune system responds strongly in asymptomatic COVID-19

Asymptomatic people infected with COVID-19 are mounting robust immune responses that differ from responses in those who become ill, according to a study that appears to contradict previous thinking by health experts. Researchers studied immune system T cells in 76 symptomatic COVID-19 patients and 85 infected individuals without symptoms and reported their findings on Friday on bioRxiv ahead of peer review. Some of these cells – CD8+ T cells – can

Alongside her daughter Willow, 20, she posted the video while they both were wearing sheet masks and chilling on chairs in their living room.

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. , Nov. 24, 2020 — Soldiers assigned to the 221st and 3rd Military Police Detachments conducted an advanced law enforcement rapid response exercise at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Nov. 18, 2020.

The Soldiers sought to enhance their proficiency in taking down threats which may arise against the Fort Eustis community.

Participants in the training used non-lethal training ammunition which fired paintball-like projectiles. This provided a more realistic training experience for all players in the exercise.

“This exercise presents a call for assistance in a community with a possible active shooter or hostage situation,” said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Larry Eley, 221st MPD operations non-commissioned officer in charge. “There’s only so much you can get from blank firing or laser systems, so having a simulated round actually hit the individual provides instant response to perform the actions correctly.”

The exercise took place away from the base
