5 h. ago We may be ‘the healthiest generation ever’, but as I work out I wonder ... would I be happier at the pub? | Isabel Brooks

Gen Z’s exercise habit may have physical benefits, but I wish we weren’t too busy and poor to catch up over a pintA couple of years ago, I became obsessed with changing my body. Inspired by “gymfluencers” and an Instagram feed filled with workouts and progress journeys, I dug into gym culture, often spending two hours weightlifting in one day, nauseous from chocolate-flavoured shakes and consuming more than 100g of protein daily to bulk my gluteal muscles and build a “revenge booty”.Statistics suggest I am not alone. A recent industry report shows that gym memberships for gen Zers have risen quickly over the past few years, almost doubling since 2020. Moreover, 30% of this generation are regularly working out in fitness facilities, compared with 15-25% of the total adult population.Isabel Brooks is a freelance writer Continue reading...

6 h. ago ‘I think I’m about to die, then I see a white flash and Henry is on the bear’s back’: the hero dogs who save lives

From stopping road accidents to performing a Heimlich manoeuvre, real-life Lassies have a long history of rescuing humans in distress. Their grateful owners tell allIn August 2014, conservation biologist Steve Krichbaum was searching for wood turtles on a small plateau in a West Virginia forest. His dog Henry was exploring below, near a stream, out of sight. Henry – a fluffy former stray so joyfully affectionate Krichbaum’s former partner nicknamed him the “Love Dragon” – accompanied him everywhere, hiking, swimming and camping together.“I hear these sticks snap,” Krichbaum says. “And there are these two bear cubs running up the slope.” Concerned Henry might chase them, he turned and started shouting for him, then, turning back around, saw an adult black bear running towards him. Krichbaum tried to appear “big and loud”, waving his arms and shouting, but the bear kept charging. He ran down the slope to try to escape, but “she ran down the bank and immediately grabbed my thigh in her...

7 h. ago ‘It makes me want to scream’: Nobel peace prize winner horrified by planned exits from landmine treaty

Plans by five Nato countries to pull out of life-saving agreement are ‘stupid’, says Nobel laureate Jody WilliamsWhen leaders from dozens of countries met in Mozambique a decade ago, their aim was to rid the world of one of its most treacherous weapons. Years after signing a landmark treaty banning the use, production and stockpiling of landmines, they seized on the gathering to set out an ambitious deadline for the completion of their efforts: 2025.Now 2025 is here, a very different precedent looms as five European countries have announced their intentions to be the first to withdraw from the treaty. All are Nato members that border Russia, and cite concerns about the growing threat posed by Vladimir Putin. Continue reading...

12 h. ago Boxing shines through unexpectedly once Eubank Jr and Benn step into ring | Alex Reid

If professional boxing is a test of will and skill, there was a so-so supply of the latter but a gigantic supply of the formerIn north London on Saturday night, people turned up for a soap opera and, of all things, a fight broke out. Chris Eubank Jr’s unanimous-decision victory over Conor Benn gradually developed into a contest so action-packed that it was tempting to completely overlook the tawdry buildup or the fact that it was only their famous surnames that had guaranteed both boxers career-high paydays.During a scrappy start, you could be forgiven for thinking the fight had perhaps peaked two hours and five minutes before the first bell. That was the moment when Chris Eubank Jr arrived at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a smirk and – perhaps more notably – his supposedly estranged father by his side in a suitably ostentatious sheepskin jacket, looking like a 1980s football commentator who had won the pools.

All three judges score fight 116-112 to Eubank JrBenn suffers first defeat after 12 gruelling roundsOn a night framed by manufactured rage and genuine vindication, Chris Eubank Jr outpointed Conor Benn in an initially close but ultimately clearcut victory. All three judges returned the same 116-112 scorecard in favour of the bigger, more poised and seasoned fighter who still had to weather some rocky moments when Benn hurt him.Eubank Jr was wobbled on numerous occasions but Benn, 28, was just too wild to administer conclusive punishment. In contrast, the 35-year-old landed the more effective blows, often in clubbing combinations, and Benn looked on the brink of being stopped in the last minute of the fight. Despite a cut eye and swollen face, Eubank Jr poured on the pressure as he went in search of the knockout. Continue reading...
