How many squats can you do in 60 seconds after 60? A coach breaks down what your score means. A 60-second squat test gives you a quick look at how well your lower body handles repeated effort. You lower, stand, breathe, and keep moving. The clock adds pressure fast, and your legs have to keep producing without losing control. After 60, this becomes a useful marker for conditioning, strength endurance, and how well your body moves under fatigue. Muscle endurance plays a big role in staying active as you age. Strength helps you stand, climb, lift, and move with confidence.…
There’s a reason most productivity books open with lists, workflows, and capture systems. Those things are tangible. They feel like progress. You can build one in an afternoon and immediately feel more organized. What they can’t do — and almost none of them attempt — is address what’s happening underneath the system. The question of who is operating it, and whether that person is starting from a stable foundation or running on empty and just managing the symptoms. That’s the tension at the center of Heather Jo Kennedy’s For Starters, and it’s the one I keep coming back to. The…
Fans of ‘90s television might remember actor David Charvet best for playing a rookie lifeguard named Matt Brody in Baywatch or a dreamy looking Craig Feld on Melrose Place. But his proudest role in life isn’t showing off his six-pack abs in his red swim trunks or showing off a charming smile as Sydney Andrews’ boyfriend. In fact, it’s far from that. As the father to son Shaya Charvet, 18, and daughter Raine Charvet, 24, David says that starring simply as dad is his favorite job he’s ever taken on. So when the opportunity arose to bring in his son…
Some produce items practically scream ‘healthy.’ Kale? Obviously. Blueberries? Sure. Peaches, though, might make you think twice. Given that they’re so juicy and candy-sweet, it’s easy to assume that they can’t possibly be that good for you… especially if you bite into them daily with reckless abandon every summer. That said, we had to ask dietitians if peaches are actually good for you. The good news: the answer is a resounding yes. “Peaches are a healthy fruit full of fiber, antioxidants, and some vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, potassium, and beta carotene,” says Jackie Bridson, MA, RDN, a dietitian…

Let’s be honest: dads are notoriously difficult to shop for. Ask what they want and you’ll usually get a shrug, a “nothing, really,” or a request for more socks. But we know better. Beneath that low maintenance exterior is a man who would absolutely appreciate a 950 degree pizza oven, a robe that feels like a five star spa, or a speaker that finally does his record collection justice. This year,…
While England soundly beat Croatia during their opening match in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Dallas on June 17, Harry Kane had even more reason to celebrate, since his two goals on the night meant that no other England player has ever scored more World Cup goals than him. London born Kane, 32, who plays for Bayern Munich, represented England with the first goal in their opening game, scoring a penalty after 12-minutes. And, while Croatia evened up in the 31st minute, Kane followed up with double at the 42-minute-mark, making a header than put the ball into the…
Four standing moves to address belly pooch and build lean muscle after 60. Belly pooch is the phrase people usually use for the softer area around the lower stomach. The real target is body composition, core support, and daily movement. After 60, that area can feel more noticeable when the muscle needs more attention, steps drop, and calories start creeping above what your body uses. The most effective plan gives your body more reasons to burn energy, build lean muscle, and move often. Gym classes can be motivating, but home-friendly standing exercises are easier to repeat and control. You can…
Welcome to Asking for a Friend, a weekly series dedicated to solving the messy, awkward, and confusing parts of modern friendship. Because truth is, our platonic relationships are often the most complicated. Send us your friendship dilemmas here, and we might feature one in a future column.Most friendships will never be truly 50/50, but at the very least they run on an unspoken agreement: both people show up, reach out, and add some fuel to the tank that keeps the engine going. If that balance consistently feels off—not just once or twice, but over the course of weeks or months—it’s…
Most people think they know how to hip-hinge until something goes wrong. Pulling a Sumo deadlift with a rounded back isn’t something I’d recommend, because I did it one too many times. There’s a big difference between bending and hinging. The hip hinge is the foundation for deadlift variations, kettlebell swings, cleans, and broad jumps. It’s also a movement you use when picking up groceries, unloading luggage, or picking up something off the floor. But the trouble starts when people don’t know the difference between hinging and bending. Instead of loading the hips and hamstrings, they bend their lower back…
Melt unwanted belly fat with these classic moves for your abs. As most people age, they love to see certain things grow. You know, like their retirement account, free time to spend with friends and loved ones, and their family. Unfortunately, your belly quite possibly thinks it’s on that list, too. Between hormonal changes, muscle loss, and potentially less physical activity, this area of the body tends to put on extra weight. We spoke with Karen Ann Canham, CEO and founder of Karen Ann Wellness, Board-Certified Wellness Coach, and Nervous System Specialist, who has almost two decades of experience in the wellness…
