Boost the calorie burn of your walks by adding these three trainer-recommended arm exercises

Published by Jenni Sidey

One of the most effective and often overlooked strategies for weight loss is to simply walk more frequently, or farther. NASM-certified personal trainer Peter Conroy has another idea. The founder of The Difference App suggests adding a variety of arm exercises into your walks to make them more effective. “Adding additional exercises to your walks can add a new dimension that is both challenging and fun,” he explains. Latest Videos From You may like “These exercises can also help you reach weight goals more quickly, if you have them.” Adding dumbbells, wrist, or ankle weights is not necessary, but can make your walk—and these exercises—even more challenging, strengthen your muscles and further boost your calorie burn. Conroy recommends a basic rep count of 10. But as you become stronger, he suggests gradually increasing the number of reps in each set from 10 to 20, or even to 30. He suggests three sets during your walk but feel free to reduce or increase the number of sets, depending on the length of your walk. Start your …

Lindsey Vonn Walks Strong on the 2026 Met Gala Carpet, In Her First Major Public Appearance Post-Crash

Lindsey Vonn Walks Strong on the 2026 Met Gala Carpet, In Her First Major Public Appearance Post-Crash

Published by Sam Flores

Lindsey Vonn walked the cream carpet at the 2026 Met Gala. It’s a simple statement with a deeper meaning: in February, Vonn almost lost her leg in a severe downhill ski crash while competing in the Milano Cortina Olympics. Three months and multiple surgeries later, it feels like a minor miracle that she’s still standing. (Not an exaggeration—Vonn suffered from severe compartment syndrome, a dangerous condition where pressure mounts in the leg, restricting blood flow and causing widespread nerve damage. Her surgeon told Vanity Fair it came close to amputation.) For her public comeback she chose a tulle-skirted gown by Thom Browne. Inspired by the classical Grecian and Roman marble statues within the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it featured 50,000 glass beads in shades of white, gray, and silver. In a statement, the brand describes their design as a “trompe-l’œil,” as the pattern sinks into Vonn’s skin, making her look half statue herself. As for jewelry, she wore Sidney Garber. Although Vonn hasn’t ruled out a return to skiing (“I don’t like to close the …

Tiffany Jenkins Walks Straight Into Her Worst Fears

Published by Jenni Sidey

Anxiety Club is a documentary that pulls anxiety out of the shadows and into the open through humor, honesty, and personal narratives. Directed by Wendy Lobel, the film follows a group of brilliant, self-revealing comedians who use stand-up and storytelling to unpack their mental health struggles. The film’s mission is to reduce isolation, challenge stigma, and show that anxiety is extremely personal and yet widely shared. It creates an environment where vulnerability and humor coexist, offering audiences a sense of being understood. I had the pleasure of speaking with Tiffany Jenkins, whose openness anchors some of the documentary’s most powerful moments. Known for her raw, self-aware humor and massive online following, she has built a platform around radical honesty about mental health, addiction, and recovery. Her willingness to be “seen in the mess,” not just the resolution, is part of what makes her so impactful. As she shared, she has “always been open and honest about mental health,” and when approached about the film, her instinct was, “why the heck not, if it’s gonna help …

(L-R) Nancy Sinatra, Donald Trump and Frank Sinatra These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ singer Nancy Sinatra made it clear that Donald Trump was a heel, after the US president shared a video of her late father Frank Sinatra singing My Way. Without explanation, Trump posted the vintage clip of the Chairman of the Board crooning the classic tune of a man looking back on his life without compromise on Saturday. The posted prompted all kinds of speculation about the reasons behind it, but Nancy clearly wasn’t interested in the president’s motive. She lamented: “This is a sacrilege.” This is a sacrilege. https://t.co/cPWoXiu0V6 — Nancy Sinatra (@NancySinatra) April 19, 2026 One person asked if Nancy could do anything about it, to which she replied, “Unfortunately no. The only people who can do something are the publishers.” Even that route may not prove fruitful, according to Entertainment Weekly. “There’s a big difference between Trump using music at rallies or in ads, where a license is required, and merely sharing a video on social media,” the show business outlet wrote. …

Jane Fonda’s Dishy Memoir Proves She Walks the Walk

Jane Fonda’s Dishy Memoir Proves She Walks the Walk

Published by Sam Flores

The Lone Ranger Throughout her childhood, Jane Fonda had a mantra: “Make it better. I know I can make it better.” She was born Lady Jayne Seymour Fonda—yes, her first name is literally Lady—on December 21, 1937, in New York City. An original nepo baby, she was the daughter of wealthy socialite Frances Ford Seymour and movie star Henry Fonda, whose progressive views and sensitive, everyman roles in films like The Grapes of Wrath made him an offscreen hero. Growing up in Los Angeles, tomboy Jane—tough, tireless, infinitely curious—would do anything to gain her father’s approval. “He was happy with me when I was little,” she writes, “and deep down I knew his was the winning team, the one I’d do anything to join.” But as she got older, her father’s cold, distant personality and his “Protestant rages” made him impossible to reach. Fonda mimicked him, becoming insular, self-sufficient and obsessed with perfection. Once the family moved to Greenwich, Connecticut, when Fonda was ten, the tense family situation went from bad to worse. Her mother …
