7 d. 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...

8 d. ago The dos and don’ts of good petiquette: four cardinal rules for dog owners

Dog walks can be a fraught time for both humans and their unruly friends, but follow these well-learned good behaviours and you’ll be the envy of the parkAcross the hours of the day and the seasons of the year, Naseby Park is the place we return to, my dog and I. Surrounded by red sandstone tenements in Glasgow’s West End, and roughly the size of a football pitch, this is where we first walked our four-year-old labrador Brèagha (Scots Gaelic for beautiful and she is, uncommonly so, thanks for asking). All I know about the etiquette of dog walking has been gleaned from the humans and animals who have paced its perimeter with us, and these are cardinal rules I have learned Continue reading...

9 d. ago The moment I knew: standing on her shoulders, I was impressed she could bear my weight

After training together for years, acrobats Tristan St John and Asha Colless realised their ability to support one another was more than just physicalFind more stories from The moment I knew seriesIn 2021 I was at the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne. That’s where I first laid eyes on Asha. She was part of a group of new students joining my cohort. She instantly struck me as someone I wanted to be friends with. At ballet class that afternoon we shared a barre and became fast friends. Over the next couple of years things remained platonic and it wasn’t until our final year that chemistry began to build.Towards the end of that dark Melbourne winter, Asha asked if I’d work with her on some acrobatics. Every day after school we’d spend an hour or so training as a pair. There was lots of stretching and chatting, trying and failing various tricks and lots of laughs. It wasn’t long before I realised I was seriously enjoying these sessions, and not just in a professional or fr...

9 d. ago Emery engineering has Rashford and Aston Villa on the rise for FA Cup

Manager’s changeable lineups have pushed striker to usurp Ollie Watkins and likely lead the attack at WembleyUnai Emery keeps his Aston Villa players on their toes. Sometimes he tells his squad the lineup the day before a game, on other occasions half an hour before they depart the team hotel for the stadium on a match day. Training tends to offer some clues but of late there have been surprises. Emery, a hugely emotional character, has been known to make impulsive, snap calls. Morgan Rogers, a rare mainstay and one of Villa’s trio of undroppables, recently described how his manager’s decision‑making can feel like flip‑of-the-coin stuff.When the teamsheets are released an hour before kick-off at Wembley on Saturday, the eyeballs will jump towards the most intriguing selection dilemma: will Emery favour Marcus Rashford or Ollie Watkins?
