Make this highly-beneficial exercise a part of your daily fitness routine, ‘all you have to do is sit'

Squats work more than just your legs — they engage your core, hips, and glutes, and even improve posture and balance. When propped against a wall, they also help with mobility, joint health, and injury prevention as you age. Keeping all this in mind, it would be safe to say that squats hold the key to good health. But, according to Bhagyashree, this exercise may also help you live longer! 'All you have to do is sit! A great workout for your quads, core, and overall lower body strength… the wall sit. This is something everyone should try, age no bar, time and place no bar. Keep your back pressed firmly to the wall and legs at a 90° angle. Start with 30 secs and try for a 2-minute routine,' she had previously shared insights in the caption of her Instagram post. Chandrashekar Gajawelli, Fitness Expert, Cult had told that for aging people, maintaining muscle mass, joint health, and overall stability becomes crucial for longevity and quality of life. He cited a 2022 study that found regular squat training improves muscle mass, functional strength, and metabolic health in adults over 50. And in this endeavour, one of the simplest yet most effective exercises recommended is the wall sit or squat. A wall sit is when you place your back against the wall and take a sitting position — holding the pose for a while, while a wall squat is when you pulse up and down while holding the sitting position, he explained. 'Many experience a natural decline in muscle mass and bone density as they age. Regular strength training is key to counteracting this, and wall sits and squats offer a low-impact yet highly effective way to build lower body strength while protecting the joints,' he explained. 1. Leg strength without joint strain: Wall squats target the quads, hamstrings, and glutes, essential muscles for daily movements like walking, climbing stairs, and standing up from a chair. Unlike traditional squats, the wall provides support, reducing stress on the knees while still delivering strength-building benefits. 2. Improved knee stability and pain reduction: For individuals experiencing knee discomfort, wall squats strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee joint, enhancing stability and reducing pain. They serve as a great alternative for those who struggle with performing deep squats or lunges. 3. Core activation and posture support: Holding a squat position engages the core muscles, improving balance and posture. This is crucial for preventing falls, a common concern as we age. A strong core also helps alleviate lower back pain. 4. Bone health and osteoporosis prevention: Weight-bearing exercises stimulate bone density, helping to prevent osteoporosis. Wall squats provide the necessary resistance without excessive strain, making them perfect, especially for women focused on long-term bone health. 5. Endurance and stamina boost: Since wall squats are an isometric exercise, they improve muscular endurance. Holding the position for longer durations builds stamina, making everyday activities feel easier and less tiring.

You Can Now Have Pink Sandwiches at Cairo's Cult

In response to Addison Rae's summer drop and a series of planetary red flags that imply the world is ending, Cult decided it was time. Time to go pink. Jun 29, 2025 Cult Cairo has officially pinkified the tunacado. The sandwich that's been emotionally supporting girlies since their King's Road childhoods, when the only man they trusted was named Joe and wore an apron. For those raised on £14 smoothies and generational delusion, the original tunacado was a rare find in a city that prefers its greens in falafel form. It was soft. It was safe. It never judged your Zara order history. But now, in response to Addison Rae's summer drop and a series of planetary red flags, Cult decided it was time. Time to go pink. Enter: a cheerful tuna mix infused with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and beetroot. It's topped with avocado, house-made pesto, and wedged inside their cult-status bread like it just finished a Pilates class.

Glasto in style! The £28,999 tipi for glamorous festival goers with helicopters (to avoid the pesky traffic), cutting edge wellness space and IV infusions

Glastonbury is not all cheap tents and knee high mud - luxury glampers can choose to attend the festival in style, staying in tipis that reportedly cost up to £28,999 to book. The famous event opens today, and so too does the Pop-Up Hotel - described as 'Glastonbury insiders' go-to luxury glamping retreat'. According to the luxe destination, it is designed to 'deliver the perfect balance of relaxing rejuvenation to all the festival excitement this summer'. To do so, it offers guests an array of 'luxurious upgrades and carefully curated wellness experiences', which it says are 'designed to pamper guests like never before'. According to the Pop-Up Hotel: 'Featuring suites with private bathrooms and all rooms with real beds and power outlets for charging phones, The Pop-Up Hotel makes 'roughing it' a thing of the past.' It continues: 'Easy arrival and check-in with free parking, personal concierge and customer service teams, luggage and buggy service and 24-hour private security to guarantee guest privacy. All located in a field just a short walk away from all the action; a 10-minute flat walk away from Gate D [...] Cult will be bringing its signature bold aesthetic to The Pop-Up Hotel with two exclusive VIP seating areas.' Before they even arrive at the festival, Pop-Up guests can avoid stress by using the Heli-Hop with Slick Travel service, where hotel guests can beat the worst of the traffic and 'fly into Glastonbury like rock royalty'. Moving between the luxury venue and the rest of the festival will be easy for guests, thanks to electric vehicle company Moke, which will be 'providing its new fully electric MOKEs to The Pop-Up Hotel, offering stylish and sustainable transport for hotel guests between the helipad, the hotel, and the festival grounds'. In order to look their best, guests can make an appointment at the Salon powered by Sephora, which will be 'providing festival-themed makeup services and hair treatments'. In addition, self-serve beauty stations will also be on site featuring brands and products found exclusively at Sephora for Hotel guests to discover. Those who need a boost can grab a cuppa from Lavazza, which will be brewing authentic Italian coffee and coffee-based cocktails as the Hotel's official coffee partner. Lavazza will be operating a bar, restaurant, courtyard Kitchen & The Deli, described as an 'A La Carte restaurant, a new alfresco kitchen dining experience and a spacious all day Deli plus a 24hr bar to bring together the best of festival dining and nightlife'. And those won't be the only tipples on offer. According to the Pop-Up: 'Australia's best-selling new gin, Papa Salt, is this year's official gin partner of The Pop-Up Hotel. 'Hotel guests can enjoy Papa Salt gin and the latest creation — the Fever-Tree x Papa Salt Blood Orange Gin Spritz — at The Pop-Up Hotel's bar as well as at the Papa Salt Pool Party scheduled for Festival Week.' And on arrival at the hotel, every guest will be offered a glass of chilled Champagne Piaff 'to get the party started in style'. In addition, NEFT Vodka will be available at The Pop-Up Hotel bar throughout Festival Week. And The Pop-Up Hotel's bar will be serving BrewDog Punk IPA and Lost Lager. Meanwhile the Journey Juice point at the Main Bar and the Deli will be serving Wonderland Cocktails made with BrewDog Distilling Company spirits. If that isn't enough choice, Casamigos Tequila will be serving a selection of cocktails at The Pop-Up Hotel's bar including Margaritas. And Ron Santiago de Cuba will be serving its Cuban rum mixed and neat at the hotel. Those who prefer a tee-total lifestyle have not been forgotten: Devonia Water will be on hand for hydration. And Vino Zero will be offering guests a range of alcohol-free cocktails. A major issue when attending festivals for many is hygiene - with long queues for temporary showers, feeling fresh can fall by the wayside. For glampers though, this should not be an issue: according to The Pop-Up Hotel, it will be providing a selection of sustainable 'in-room products and hand wash across all washrooms' from Wild. The brand will also help guests loosen out any muscles tired from all that dancing, hosting a Pop-Up Pilates session exclusively for hotel guests. And the self-care does not stop there: the salon pamper area offers 'complimentary tools and products, private cubicle hot showers 24 hours a day and proper flushing loos'. According to the destination: 'The Wellness Space [is] a cutting-edge spa experience with contrast therapies; saunas and ice baths paired with breathwork, yoga and wellness experiences curated by The Pop-Up Hotel's Heads of Wellbeing: Experts Richie Norton and Rob & Josie da Bank 'Body Brilliant bespoke treatments from vitamin booster drops shots to bespoke IV infusions and compression therapy to revitalise festival weary bodies.' Further relaxation will be provided in the form of massages: Homewood House Hotel Massage will be offering a 'range of facial and body treatments for Hotel guests combining advanced therapeutic techniques, nature's finest botanicals and science-led complexes along with signature touches, for truly magical experiences that relax the mind and reward the skin'. In addition, guests can ensure they avoid sunburn using products provided by Korean skincare brand Beauty of Joseon, which is the hotel's Official Suncare Partner. If guests do get too hot, they can cool off in the swimming pool. In addition to all the live acts on offer at the festival, the hotel will offer 'morning acoustic sessions to lively poolside parties and evening DJ sets [as well as] secret performances from guest musicians to keep guests buzzing'. And should guests want to up their looks, they can peruse the offerings from the hotel's Official Eyewear Partner Dood Eyewear. 'Guests can try on this season's styles at the Dood space, located in reception and enjoy exclusive early access to four new limited-edition frames being released exclusively during Festival Week,' says the hotel. In addition,it adds: 'Free People returns with their finely crafted style to The Pop-Up Hotel bringing a pop-up store full of festival favorites, as well as an exclusive event for hotel guests. Even the hotel team will be kitted out in luxury style, donning footwear from Australian footwear brand - specifically its new-look Gardener boots, which are festival-designed with a 'full storm welt, sturdy rubber sole and cushioned insoles'.
