SPA OF THE SEASON PALACE MERANO,
SOUTH TYROL, ITALY Palace Merano is deservedly revered for its ability to transform body and mind. Arguably the most direct and luxurious route to wellbeing is to stay in the castle rooftop in the hotel’s Castello Suites, with pink marble bathrooms and lifts that whizz robe-clad guests straight into the spa. Here, in the vast, glossy medical wing, bodies are brought back into balance with a careful combination of physical restoration and healing therapies.

BEAUTY MYTH YOUR SHAMPOO FAMILIARISES ITSELF TO YOUR HAIR AND NO LONGER PERFORMS
False: While it’s great to change up the hair products you use every once in a while, it’s not absolutely necessary. If your hair is feeling flat, dry or damaged after continued use of one specific shampoo, don’t blame the shampoo! Usually, the problem is due to product build up from hairsprays, serums, oils and everyday life.
HAVE YOU TRIED... LAUGHTER YOGA? A fast track way to boost your mood is laughter yoga. Evidence shows that whether or not your laughter is genuine, the benefits are the same: laughing releases ‘happy chemicals’ dopamine and serotonin, and in turn, lowers the stress hormone cortisol. No yoga kit is required-simply spend five minutes a day laughing. If there’s nothing funny to hand, fake it. You might sound - and feel - like a crazy person, but you’ll feel happier afterwards.
SHORT WORKOUT APPS
SEVEN APP BY PERIGEE An everyday fitness app that’s famous for its high-intensity,
no equipment based workouts where pretty much every minute counts. This app follows body weight only workouts.
YOGA WAKE UP The app offers a mix of both yoga and meditation. Basically, it wakes you up with an
alarm and then follows it with a quick yoga sequence or a meditation session for you to complete. It’s not too intense and allows you to ease into your morning feeling clear and refreshed.

WHAT IS IT?
THE CULT WORKOUT: THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE EXERCISE PLAN (5BX)
The Royal Canadian Air Force fitness plans were first published in the early 60s, devised to bring about maximum fitness in the minimum amount of time, and to be done indoors.
What is it? The 5BX (Five Basic Exercises) Plan is an 11-minute routine.
Step 1 Two minutes touching your toes, going back up to a back bend, touching your toes again. You should be able to do that 30 times. This maintains flexibility, which prevents injury, which keeps you exercising.
Step 2 Lying on your back, feet apart, then sitting up to a vertical position. Do that 22 more times, this should only last a minute.
Step 3 Also known as an aeroplane in yoga: lying on your stomach, then lifting your chest and legs, 33 times in a minute.
Step 4 A straight press-up, but done properly – no keeping your knees on the floor.
Step 5 Running on the spot for five minutes, doing 10 jumps every 75 steps. The jumps are there to keep you counting your steps, which distracts you from how hard and existentially pointless it is to run on the spot.
