I love Strong if you want to do free weights.

You can import programs (or it has some prebuilt ones). Most importantly - it shows you how to do every exercise in the library via a GIF embedded.

It’s very convenient even for an experienced lifter who wants to make sure the form is exactly correct.

Would recommend a good trainer. By good I mean someone who has been to college for health and fitness and works with athletes/lives and breaths fitness and wellness.

This will cost more in the short run but you will learn how to lift and recover properly and after a few months you’ll be able to do your own thing.

Making the investment will also force you to really get into it.

Madeline Moves is the best! $20 a month for 5+ workouts a week. Highly recommend!

Just got promoted to audit senior, but can’t imagine doing another busy season. I have some forensics internship experience from college and always wanted to pivot to forensics.

If I transfer and have no choice but to work on insurance/claims, would it be better to stay in auditing? Is the insurance/claims work demanding/difficult intellectually wise?

Any suggestions on how people would respond?

*Sealed Classes in Java 17*

The sealed class allows one to describe which class or interface can extend or implement this class or interface. In short, we can put restrictions on who can use this class or interface. Suppose we have Student abstract class and if we make it a sealed class and permit only ScienceStudent and CommerceStudent to extend the class, then only those classes will be able to extend the Student and other classes will get an error if they try to extend it.

Any good detox diets that good to try out and not horrroble for your body? I want to curb some sugar cravings and bad eating habits over the past year. Has anyone done one they liked? I was thinking of starting a 3 day detox then go into 7days of a white meat/fruit cleanse for a week. Then just stop eating like a complete child on holiday after those are done 😅 any advice on what helped you get past the cravings and level set would be helpful! I heard good things about keto but like options.

Wondering if anyone struggles with a similar problem I do - I was a volleyball player/serious athlete from 10 until I finished playing my senior year of college. I then worked as a full time volleyball coach/assistant director of operations for a super competitive club in south Florida. I changed career paths for stability and money increase, but now I find when I’m super stressed at work I avoid the gym. I normally go 4-6 days per week and consider it an outlet, but now seems to add stress.
