(CTN News) – Cardiovascular training improves mobility, flexibility, endurance, and sleep quality as you age. You can even live longer with cardio! Despite the bad, there is always something good to be found. You can limit your progress with cardio, wear out your joints, and even feel worse with cardio over time. Here are the worst cardio habits that destroy your body after 50, and how to avoid them. Definitely not a good idea. Exercise “no matter what,” but always focus on long-term fitness. Take two steps forward by resting and rehabbing if you have pain or an injury. Pushing through problems, however, may make them worse and cause an even longer absence from training. Running, for example, can be hard on your joints and tendons if you only run on pavement-especially if you’re not trained. To improve your conditioning and give your muscles, joints, and overall progress a break occasionally, it’s far better to use a variety of training methods. You’ll feel the difference … [Read more...] about After 50, These 7 Cardio-Habits Are Destroying Your Body

MANILA, Philippines — Camarines Sur 2nd Dist. Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte Jr., a staunch ally of recently replaced Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, has been removed as deputy speaker of the House of Representatives. This comes as the shuffle in the lower legislative body commenced with the accession of Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco to the speakership. During the House session on Wednesday, lawmakers moved to re-elect as deputy speaker 1-PACMAN Party-list Rep. Mikee Romero to take the place of Villafuerte. Romero, a known Velasco ally, lost his post as deputy speaker last week in the heat of the speakership squabble that gripped the lower chamber for months. The House likewise elected a strong Velasco backer, Oriental Mindoro 1st Dis. Rep. Doy Leachon, as senior deputy speaker. Deputy speakers are the second-highest ranking officials in the House of Representatives. They are tasked to preside over the House in the absence of the Speaker.

Indonesia’s Central Bank Governor Perry Warjiyo speaks during a media briefing at Bank Indonesia headquarters in Jakarta, Indonesia, Jan 19, 2023. REUTERS/Ajeng Dinar Ulfiana/File photo JAKARTA – Indonesia’s central bank governor Perry Warjiyo secured on Monday approval from a key parliamentary body for his reappointment for a second term, after pledging to maintain a “pro-stability” monetary stance until 2024. Warjiyo’s five-year term as Bank Indonesia (BI) chief ends in May. Full parliamentary approval is still needed for his reappointment, though lawmakers typically follow the financial committee’s recommendation based on a so-called “fit-and-proper test”. Earlier on Monday, Warjiyo vowed to strengthen BI’s policy mix to achieve its price stability goal as well as supporting sustainable economic growth, giving a nod to a recently passed law that widened BI’s mandate to include propping up growth. “This year and next year, we will direct our monetary policy to guard … [Read more...] about Indonesia central bank governor gets approval for new term from parliament body

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The straps on my Oculus Quest virtual reality goggles have stretched out over time. So I find myself perpetually adjusting them on the fly, which can really take away from whatever immersive app I’m using. That’s especially inconvenient right now, as I’m trying out the FitXR VR fitness app that has quickly become a popular choice for people wanting to work out in a fun and engaging way. I do cardio exercise five or six times a week, so I think I’m in decent shape. But I rarely work out my upper body because, well, I’m lazy. What’s nice about FitXR is it offers a variety of workouts in five “studios” that include boxing, dance, sculpt, combat and HIIT (high intensity interval training). Each workout strives to be challenging, which is great. My first workout, a beginner-level HIIT, wiped me out in four minutes the first time. The second one I lasted the entire 12 minutes, although I didn’t score workout points very well. … [Read more...] about Getting In Physical Shape Via Virtual Reality

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Fighting rages north and south of Bakhmut as Russian regiments race against time, and their dwindling combat power , in a desperate effort to surround the ruined city and cut off its Ukrainian garrison. The Ukrainians meanwhile have dug in in the most defensible quarters of Bakhmut. With supplies of heavy artillery running low, they’re picking their targets carefully—aiming to kill as many Russians as possible with as few weapons as possible. Which side makes the most efficient use of precious military resources might ultimately prevail in Bakhmut, a city with a pre-war population of 70,000 that anchors the front line in Donetsk Oblast, in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline France’s controversial pension reform proposal will become law, raising the country’s retirement age by two years, after President Emmanuel Macron’s government narrowly survived a no-confidence vote Monday—the culmination of months of intense protests and strikes that have gripped the country. Key Facts Macron unveiled a plan in January to gradually raise France’s legal age of retirement from 62 to 64 by 2030 in an effort to cut pension costs, and require people to work for 43 years—up from 42 right now —to receive a full pension, which averages about 1,400 euros per month after taxes. As France’s population ages, Macron says the pension system will run a deficit in the coming years (the body that monitors France’s pension system has projected a deficit for the next decade, but denied the system faces an urgent threat of bankruptcy and admitted long-term deficits are difficult to predict). … [Read more...] about Here’s What To Know About France’s Controversial Pension Reforms As Macron Survives No-Confidence Vote

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Russia-Ukraine war has provided the Russian military with a chance to showcase its latest research and development efforts, which include cutting-edge drones, tanks, electronic warfare equipment and artillery systems. However, many of these technologies have not lived up to expectations on the battlefield. One highly publicized technology that has yet to make it onto the battlefield are Russian exoskeletons. For years, the Russian military has hyped their exoskeleton-based combat suits , which reportedly offer increased armor coverage, situational awareness and mobility. Though there is ample skepticism to the claims made about these suits, the war would be an opportunity to display these suits. To date these exoskeletons have not made an appearance on the battlefield. Nevertheless, as the war continues, the Russian military will likely involve exoskeleton technology in their military messaging campaign. … [Read more...] about The Hype And Reality Of Russian Exoskeleton Technology For The Russia-Ukraine War

In just a couple of years, the number of exoskeletons in auto plants has gone from a few dozen to somewhere close to a thousand, and this trend is showing no signs of slowing down. The exact number of active and evaluation wearable device installs is not trivial to calculate, but some values are known. At the Wearable Robotics Association Conference (WearRAcon19) held in March 2019, it was revealed that between BMW, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen there are 585 devices in use.
