6 h. ago Manchester City show hints of resurgence with Guardiola masterclass | Jacob Steinberg

Manager finds fresh motivation with young talent after guiding club to win over Forest in FA Cup semi-finalNews just in: Pep Guardiola still has a few tactical tricks up his sleeve. The scary thought for the rest of the Premier League must be that Guardiola, who looked and sounded like a man ready to pack it in and head for the golf course earlier this season, is finding fresh motivation in putting Manchester City back together. Enjoy it while it lasts, you can imagine him saying to his rivals, but just be aware that I have revenge planned for anyone who dared to wonder if I was finished when we were losing 4-0 at home against Tottenham.It is, of course, worth pointing out that it is too soon to assume that a new imperial era is taking shape. City are deservedly through to their third consecutive FA Cup final, a date with Crystal Palace secured thanks to a well-crafted 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest, but Guardiola still has damage to repair. Ever the perfectionist, he will look b...

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...
