SPA OF THE SEASON
EUPHORIA RETREAT, GREECE One of Europe’s best destination spas, sits on the Peloponnese town’s doorstep. The Spartan Spirit of Adventure programme here certainly ticks all the boxes for modern-day workout warriors. It places emphasis on exercising outdoors, proven to burn calories, boost mood and lower blood pressure more efficiently than a gym session, with plenty of HIIT for devouring visceral fat. But, best of all, it weaves in the region’s history, putting a 21st-century spin on the games played by those musclemen of old.

BEAUTY MYTH
WEARING SUNSCREEN DAILY LEADS TO VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
True but... Not applying sunscreen and getting a tan can trigger vitamin D deficiency. The truth is that everyone is at risk for vitamin D deficiency whether they have lighter skin tones or darker skin tones. Skipping sunscreen is a case where the risk significantly outweighs the reward, so it just doesn’t make any sense to do in hopes of increasing your vitamin D levels.
FORGET ME NOT... GET NEUROSHACKING Forget someone’s name 10 seconds after they’ve told it to you? Then try spaced repetition. Based on research around the average timing of human forgetting, it’s a type of memorisation method that uses flashcards but focuses on going over information just before you would typically forget it. There are lots of spaced repetition apps but AnkiApp is the most popular. Practice for 15 minutes a day and you’ll find you’re better at recalling information.

YOU MUST TRY... MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
It wears you out, it hurts your arms and it looks like the stupidest thing ever invented.
What is it? A mountain climber is basically a plank where you run on the spot.
How much does it cost? Nothing. You could drop to the floor right now and do some if you wanted.
What does it promise? A great explosive bodyweight exercise, mountain climbers help to strengthen your abs and lower body, while simultaneously giving you a decent cardio workout.
What’s it actually like? You get into the plank position and, without letting your foot touch the ground, draw your knee up to your chest. Return it and repeat with the other knee. Do this over and over again as fast as you can in bursts of about 30 seconds or more. Keep your hips low, like you do for a plank.
Why is it good for you? It wears you out, it hurts your arms and it looks like the stupidest thing ever invented. Just don’t get good at them, because next comes sliding mountain climbers. This is where you keep your feet on the ground at all times, sliding with your socks or on upturned carpet squares. Maybe this will be the next TikTok viral success or maybe not, but it will get you ripped for sure.
