The older we get, the less time we spend on the floor, therefore reducing our ability to handle our bodyweight and get back off the floor. If you haven’t had to push the full weight of your body in decades, it’s understandable that it would be a difficult task. Since pushups are the most cost-effective and easiest way to strengthen the chest, it’s inconvenient when the exercise is so hard to do. Here’s a smarter way to build up your chest strength safely—starting where you are and working your way up. 4 Chair Exercises That Strengthen Legs Faster Than Squats…
Whether you don’t live near a cycling studio or you want all the benefits of low-impact cardio right from your living room, indoor cycling is one of the most popular ways to work out at home — and for good reason.

If you’re in the market to buy an indoor cycling bike, you might be surprised at just how much variety there is to choose…
Growing up, Russell Brunson was, self-admittedly, not “into” books. “I remember going to bookstores with my mom and being like, ‘Why would somebody come here?’” he says, laughing. Those who meet Brunson today might find that hard to believe. As the multihyphenate founder of a robust roster of companies (most notably the sales software company ClickFunnels), he’s a New York Times bestselling author and bona fide bibliophile. In the past three years alone, he’s purchased more than 18,000 books. Today, these tomes are (literally and metaphorically) the story behind his success. It began in college, after he started his first…

Forget the idea that squats are the only path to strong legs, especially once you’re past 55. Squats get a lot of attention, but they also come with drawbacks, including knee discomfort, tight hips, or poor form that stacks pressure where your body doesn’t want it. The truth is, you don’t need to load up your joints with extra weight to build leg strength that matters. You just need smart movements and the right positioning, and that’s exactly what a basic chair brings to the table. With just a chair, you can challenge your quads, hamstrings, calves, and stabilizing muscles…
Call it a cautionary tale of modern dating: The “mama’s boy” is an archetype we are warned to avoid. But is that for good reason?Of course, being close to a parent isn’t inherently a problem, Rachel Sussman, LCSW, a New York City–based therapist and the author of The Breakup Bible: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Healing from a Breakup or Divorce, tells SELF. In fact, “a lot of guys text or talk to their parents every day. That alone isn’t a red flag.” The “mama’s boy,” culturally speaking, is distinct: not just a loving, doting son, but an emotionally stunted…
Astrology has long occupied a paradoxical place in modern culture-dismissed by some as pseudoscience, yet quietly used by many as a mirror for self-understanding. In recent years, it has evolved beyond newspaper horoscopes into a sophisticated language of personality, emotion, and timing. What makes astrology so enduring is not its predictive power, but its psychological resonance. It provides a framework for naming emotional experiences and exploring unconscious patterns with the same curiosity therapy invites. At its core, astrology does not claim to dictate behavior. Instead, it illuminates the emotional landscape we inhabit. When we learn to read that map, we…

When consistently training and lifting, the true enemy to our evolution is not a lack of knowledge, but rather, a lack of progress. In other words, we all at some point in our workout journey fall victim to the dreaded “plateau phase.” We’ve all been there. Lifting and working consistently, doing all of the right exercises in the same routine that we have always used, but suddenly, it no longer feels challenging, our muscles know exactly what to expect, and the PR sets become few and far between. Great news, though: Your knowledge and experience is still valid, and although…
