Inside King Charles’s Hour-Long Reunion With Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Archie, and Lilibet

To get from Oakland to San Diego is a 7.5 hour drive, so it can make sense to fly. Yet when the team rolled up with Bebop in toe, Southwest told them they couldn’t check the robot as luggage due to weight restrictions. Failing that, they bought the bot its own seat on the plane, and that’s where the trouble began.

Most of you, anyway. This might seem like odd advice from a fitness writer, but bear with me – there’s method to the madness. “Trying to throw the kitchen sink at exercise often doesn’t work or create the best results,” top coach Paddy James recently told me. “To get results, whether it is building muscle, getting stronger or getting fitter, the most important thing is finding [an exercise plan] we can be consistent with.” Several weekly hour-long workouts might not fit this criteria.
