If I wanted to improve core strength and only had five minutes and no equipment, I’d do this circuit

Published by Jenni Sidey

The most common question I get asked as a personal trainer is how to build core strength. It’s something many of my female clients want advice about, especially moms and those aged 40 and over, because both hormonal shifts during pregnancy and menopause can weaken the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Core exercises don’t have to be complicated and time-consuming to be effective.

Nevada urges Ninth Circuit to reject Kalshi stay, defending gambling authority

Nevada urges Ninth Circuit to reject Kalshi stay, defending gambling authority

Because of that, Nevada says it still has the authority to regulate the activity as gambling within its borders. Responding to Kalshi's argument that an injunction is necessary because a state enforcement proceeding would be "catastrophic," Nevada snarks that "Kalshi already is subject to enforcement in Massachusetts, and its business has not collapsed." pic.twitter.com/URVfMUKoLo — Andrew Kim (@akhoya87) December 30, 2025 Nevada also says Kalshi hasn’t shown it would suffer irreparable harm if the stay isn’t granted, which is a key requirement for getting one. “Submitting to a state enforcement proceeding ‘typically does not constitute irreparable harm,’” the State writes, because Kalshi “could raise any potential defense.” …
