Be Health And Wellness

Formula E’s 2023 world champion Jake Dennis has been chasing a second title with Team Andretti, racing on tracks across the globe in locations such as Jeddah, Miami, and Monaco. Now readying for action in Jakarta, the 6’ 2” driver managed to stay still long enough in order to talk training with M&F, revealing some of the challenges that taller racers face. “Yeah, I’m probably a bit too tall to be honest,” jokes Dennis, the British driver who first began racing with karts aged 8 and never looked back. “It definitely has its limitations. Obviously, the biggest one is fitting in the car,” he explains. “Generally, for most of my career, it’s been quite tight. To be fair, Formula E have actually made quite a big car, so this one is a bit of a luxury for me right now, not having my knees sort of bent crazy amounts or my elbows.” Having competed in Formula 3, Jake Dennis has also served as a development driver, testing Formula 1 cars, so he has tested a wide variety of racing cars.

The wellness industry has spent decades selling intensity. Long workouts, rigid plans, loud environments. But for most people juggling careers, families, and fatigue, traditional fitness has become more of a barrier than a solution. That is where Iron BodyFit comes in. Co-founded by Hadri Jaffal , it is redefining what it means to take care of your body. The idea is simple. One 25 minute session, once or twice a week, in a private, supportive space. Not to become elite, but to feel better, stronger, and more in control on your own terms. A Fitness Experience That Meets You Where You Are It started with Hadri himself, a working parent who could not find a routine that fit. Like many, he felt left behind by a fitness culture that demanded more time, more energy, and more commitment than he could give. When he discovered Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS), a training method that activates the full body in just minutes, it changed everything. What began as a personal solution turned int...

When the summer heat rolls in, there’s one place every family gravitates to: the pool. But this isn’t just a spot for lazy floats and cannonballs. With a little creativity, your backyard pool can transform into a high-energy training ground for the entire family. Pool workouts deliver a full-body burn without the impact of land-based training. They’re joint-friendly, muscle-challenging , and way more fun than fighting for gym equipment. And when it comes to expert approval, it doesn’t get better than five-time Olympic gold medalist Ryan Murphy, who has partnered with Goldfish Swim School to help educate families on water safety. For the world-record-holding backstroke specialist, the water should be one of the best environments for family fitness. “Swimming builds strength, endurance, and water confidence, but most importantly, it creates a shared experience that brings families together,” says Murphy. “And when kids learn breath control early, it supports mental focus and long-ter...

What’s the difference between wellness and fitness? Is there a difference? Is one more important than the other? Can you focus on both at the same time? Let’s start with the first question—what’s the difference between the two? To paint a clearer comparison, let’s make the analogy to auto racing—NASCAR, Formula 1 , doesn’t matter, reader’s choice. Wellness and fitness are like the pit crew and the race car, respectively-both are essential, but play different roles. Fitness is the high-speed car soaring around the track, built for power, speed, and performance. It’s the “wow factor” that everyone sees — the visible strength, the endurance, the force. But wellness is the pit crew behind the scenes, making sure the engine is running smoothly, the tires are aligned, and the fuel is clean. Without wellness—proper sleep, recovery, nutrition, and mental clarity—even the fastest car will crash, burn out, or stall. By prioritizing BOTH fitness AND wellness, you will not only drive forward to...

Let’s face it, sometimes training feels like déjà vu. Bands, bodyweight circuits , and dumbbell presses day in and day out can start to feel a little stale. If you’re an avid gym-goer ready to shake things up, it’s time to change the stimulus and utilize some underrated but incredibly effective tools: kettlebells, landmine setups, and sleds. These pieces of equipment aren’t just fun; they’re functional. They challenge your coordination, conditioning, and strength in new ways while helping you bust through plateaus. Even better, they’re available in most well-equipped gyms and aren’t as intimidating as they might seem. Let’s break down why these tools are worth your attention and how to use them to build a complete full-body training session. Paul/Adobe Stock Kettlebells: Power, Precision & Flow Kettlebells are more than dumbbells with a handle. Their offset center of mass makes them ideal for ballistic and flow-based movements like swings, cleans, and Turkish get-ups. They a...

Blessing is returning to bodybuilding following an almost two-year absence, but he failed to qualify for the 2025 Olympia at the recent Legion Sports Fest Pro with a disappointing sixth place.In a frank discussion, the “Boogieman” joined the TMP gang to figure out what he needs to do next.
