I’ve used this simple mobility exercise with every client I’ve ever coached to ease stiffness, boost mobility and improve posture

The internet is awash with complex mobility drills, promising scroll-stopping flexibility and range of motion, yet they require gymnast-level mobility to perform in the first place. There is, however, one simple exercise that I believe rarely gets the attention it deserves: shoulder dislocations. Don’t let the name put you off. Article continues below You may like This standing, beginner-friendly exercise helps release tightness in the chest, which can build up over the day when hunched over a keyboard. It can help mobilize and wake up your upper-back muscles, especially around the shoulder blades, to address poor posture. And with every repetition, it can help gently groove the shoulder socket to unlock improved range of motion and strength overhead. I love its restorative effect so much that I’ve prescribed it to every client I’ve ever coached, and rarely a day passes when I don’t rattle through a few reps at home or before workouts. Start your week with achievable workout ideas, health tips and wellbeing advice in your inbox. Lately, I was also reminded of its …

When I train a new client I always use these two abs exercises to teach rock-solid core control

When I train a new client I always use these two abs exercises to teach rock-solid core control

There are two abdominal exercises I believe should always form the building blocks of any exercise plan—whether you’re new to strength training or you’ve been lifting all your life. It’s something I was recently reminded of when reflecting on how I used to train clients when I first started out. Without fail, I would begin on an exercise mat, testing if they could effectively engage the deep core muscles responsible for protecting and stabilizing the spine and pelvis. You may like The two moves in question were the bird dog and dead bug exercises. Here’s why I believe they are so effective, along with a few pointers on how to introduce them into your practice. Why I always teach bird dog and dead bug These two core exercises are commonly overlooked for seemingly more challenging alternatives, like planks and crunches. But while those moves might feel more demanding, they rarely recruit the deep-lying core muscles we rely on to support and protect the spine. Bird dog, which involves alternately lifting and extending your opposite arm …

I finally ditched Outlook for this Windows email client and I should have sooner

I finally ditched Outlook for this Windows email client and I should have sooner

Ever since Microsoft deprecated its Mail app, I have been trying different email clients to find a true replacement. I tested several popular email apps, including eM Client, Mailspring, Spark, and a few others, but the one that stood out the most was Thunderbird. It’s a free, open-source app from Mozilla that handles multiple accounts smoothly, stays fast, respects my privacy, and gives me control over how everything works. It almost feels like one of those apps that should ship with Windows. OS Android, Windows, Linux & Mac Price model Free (open-source) A unified inbox that makes everything easier to manage One inbox to rule them all Screenshot by Pankil Shah — No attribution required Opening an email client in my browser is easy enough, but one of the biggest reasons I like using Thunderbird is its unified inbox. You can enable it by selecting Folder modes > Unified Folders. It brings emails from all your accounts in an organized space, which means you don’t have to open multiple browser tabs and switch between them …

A moment that changed me: my client was accused of a crime he didn’t commit – and it led me to confront my past | Health & wellbeing

A moment that changed me: my client was accused of a crime he didn’t commit – and it led me to confront my past | Health & wellbeing

I spent nearly 20 years working as a criminal defence lawyer in the remote communities of the Canadian Arctic. Nunavut – roughly the size of western Europe – is home to fewer than 40,000 people, most of whom are Inuit. The brief summers boast endless days, while polar night descends over long winters where temperatures occasionally drop as low as -50C. Despite the lack of urban centres and a small, homogenous population, the territory records one of the highest violent-crime rates per capita in the world. There are no roads connecting Nunavut’s 26 communities. Aircraft is the only option, except for a brief ice-free window in late summer when supplies and fuel can be delivered by boat. Several times a year, the justice system arrives: a travelling circuit court sets up a temporary courtroom in local gymnasiums or community halls for three to four days. I handled many tragic and strange cases over the course of two decades, but one stands out. Early in my career, I represented a young Inuit man charged with firing …
