If you’re looking to test your leg strength, lunges reign supreme. If you’re a fan of performing lunges in your workout routine, you know they can be quite challenging. This single-leg movement involves much coordination, balance, and strength as you use one leg to support all your body weight. In fact, some gym enthusiasts find lunges harder to do than squats because of the one-sided, small muscle demands that lunges require. Unlike squats, lunges are an isolated workout—one leg at a time. Well, we’re calling all lunge fans for a strength test. According to Joshua King, Personal Training Leader at…

Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe made the most of his London Marathon run at the weekend, becoming the first person ever to officially complete a 26.2-mile (42.195km) race in less than 2 hours. While fellow Kenyan, Eliud Kipchoge had earned a time of 1:59: 40 at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge in Vienna back in 2019, his lofty feat couldn’t be ratified as a world record because rules around pacing and fluids had not been followed. Kipchoge had received drinks from an unofficial source during his efforts, making him ineligible for the official bragging rights. As Sabastian Sawe raced the London Marathon,…

For a long time, I thought I was doing everything right in dating. After getting out of an eight-year relationship—and then a rebound that emotionally wrecked me in ways I didn’t fully process for at least a couple years—I spent the next few years in a strange in-between.In theory, I was putting myself out there: going on dates, meeting people, and staying open even when it felt exhausting. But in reality, it felt more like going through the motions, like I was playing a role I had gotten really good at. I had just enough distance to feel in control,…

Yoga isn’t enough for real balance after 55. These 5 daily moves are. Balance after 55 doesn’t fade randomly, it declines when the body stops practicing control under real-world conditions. Traditional yoga improves flexibility and awareness, but many people still struggle with stability during everyday movement. I’ve coached clients in this age group for years, and the fastest improvements in balance always come from simple, controlled exercises that force the body to stabilize while standing, shifting, and reacting. Balance isn’t just about standing still, it’s about controlling your body as it moves. That means your legs, core, and even your…
Some people build careers in one lane. Dr. Julie Chung has always moved between two and made them feel like the same conversation. As an ophthalmologist, her work is about precision and restoring sight. But what’s always stayed with her is what happens after. Once patients can see clearly, they look at themselves. Their hair, their skin, the small shifts over time. That moment, where physical wellbeing turns into how you feel in your own skin, is something she’s never separated. It’s the same thinking behind T3. What started as a personal frustration with tools that felt damaging and not…
Admit it at one time, you judged someone else’s squat depth. Are you on the “ass-to-grass, or it doesn’t count” side, or are you a “parallel is good” member? But somewhere in the middle are everyone else, wondering how low they need to squat to build muscle. Why does it matter? Because squat depth changes the game. Go shallower, and you can use more load. Go deeper and recruit more muscle, especially the glutes and adductors. But depth doesn’t mean a thing if you lose position, dump tension, or force your body into a range it can’t handle. Here, I’m…
