We all have interests outside tech—my main one is competitive running—and every now and then I find an excuse to check out some piece of tech gear while working on my fitness. My latest effort along these lines is the Stealth Core Trainer, which promises to give me a “lean, strong core” while playing games on my iPhone.

You might ask why, if I’m a runner, I’m worried about core work. We runners have long been told that a strong core is essential for avoiding injuries and running well. I don’t disagree with this, though a decently strong core did nothing to prevent my most recent 18-month bout of plantar heel pain. I also found myself nodding when I read “Local Man Starting to Think His Core Will Never Be Strong Enough for Runner’s World” on the satire site Dumb Runner (be sure to check out the motivational posters too).

“France will have a potential 200 millions doses, which means 100 million people” since each vaccine requires two doses, Castex said while outlining the government’s plans to immunize the country of 67 million people against the coronavirus.

The government has set aside 1.5 billion euros ($1.8 billion) for next year to make the vaccines available for free, he said. But Castex reaffirmed that vaccinations won’t be mandatory.

Each year, 45 million Americans try dieting and fail; Emily Hochman, CEO and Founder of Wellory, was one of them. She built Wellory out of personal need, having struggled with fad and yo-yo dieting which led to several potential chronic illnesses, and the threat of infertility. Hochman decided to take her health into her own hands by enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where, with a balanced nutritional plan and the right support system, she was able to rebuild her health. As a certified health coach, Hochman also managed the customer success team at tech startup WayUp, learning the value that the intersection of technology and human interaction can bring to the ever-evolving digital world.

“At Wellory, we’re on a mission to make personalized nutrition accessible for all. We believe that everyone deserves a long-term, healthy relationship with food.” Hochman says, “It’s important that we address nutrition education

Applicants will be required to wear masks and maintain distance from each other. They will be screened for fever and take exams separately if they have symptoms.

Park Yu-mi, an anti-virus official in Seoul, pleaded with people to cancel all gatherings of more than 10, and for companies to half at least one-third of their employees work from home to ensure a safe environment for Thursday’s examination.

We’ve all had those days when it was hard to trek up the stairs or even walk due to muscle soreness and tightness, and sometimes foam rolling and stretching just doesn’t cut it. If you need to up the ante on your recovery routine, The Theragun Elite ($399) will loosen your tightest knots. And in honor of Black Friday, you can score it for $100 off its usual price.

The tool acts as an in-home percussive therapy treatment, and has become a cult-fave among gym-goers for its ability to relieve tension. It uses targeted, rapid pulses, which helps to induce blood flow to your soft tissues. As a result, you get less muscle tightness and enhanced mobility. According to research, body percussion can lead to better physical and mental health, and one study found that it can decrease the levels of lactic acid in your muscles for up to

Consumers are buying home cinema equipment, exercise and DIY products to see them through a winter spent largely at home and indoors as covid restrictions continue.

The Star Tribune reports Wednesday that Minnesota Department of Health data shows 90% of the state’s nursing homes and 58% of assisted-living facilities have active outbreaks.

Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said Tuesday that 47 long-term care facilities are in “a crisis staffing situation” and are receiving active support from the state, including help from federal health nurses.

Gov. Tim Walz’s administration is also taking the unusual step of e-mailing all state employees and asking them to consider volunteering for two-week stints in long-term care facilities, particularly in greater Minnesota.
