How Long Does It Take to Get Fit Again?



    When it comes to cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength, the adage is true: Use it or lose it. While regular exercise can improve heart health and increase strength and mobility, taking weeks or months off can reverse many of those benefits.

    That’s not to say that rest days are not important. In general, short breaks can help you physically and mentally recharge, but whenever possible, you should avoid extending your time off for too long so that hopping back on the wagon doesn’t feel too daunting or miserable.

    “Your body adapts to the stimulus you provide,” said Dr. Kevin Stone, an orthopedic surgeon and the author of the book “Play Forever: How to Recover From Injury and Thrive.” “Your muscles become used to the stress and the testosterone, the adrenaline and endorphins — all the wonderful things that circulate from exercise. When you take that away, the body initiates a muscle loss program.”

Q3802301 Inglês
        SpaceX has pulled off a successful test flight of its newest generation rocket Starship, reversing a trend of disappointing failures. The world's largest and most powerful rocket blasted off from Texas just after 18:30 local time, for a 60-minute flight. Parts of the engine appeared to explode at one stage, and flaps on the side of the rocket caught fire and swung from side to side. The US space agency Nasa plans to use Starship to send humans to the Moon for its Artemis programme in 2027.

       "Great work by the SpaceX team!!", posted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on X, who is spending billions on developing Starship, with each launch costing an estimated $100m. He will be welcoming the success after three Starship launches ended in failure this year, and one rocket exploded on its test stand in June. Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket built to date, made up of a booster called Super Heavy and the spacecraft Starship.

        The signs were positive from the start of Tuesday's test flight. All of the booster's 33 engines fired up, and after about seven minutes, the booster separated from the spacecraft and fell into the Gulf of Mexico. Starship continued to ascend, reaching a maximum height of almost 200 km above Earth before coasting around the planet. SpaceX said it intended to put the rocket under stress to test its limits, and parts of the rocket's flaps appeared to burn and swing wildly during the descent. The company has designed Starship to one day be a fully reusable transport system capable of carrying people to the Moon and Mars.

Best Part (feat. H.E.R.)
Daniel Caesar


You don't know, babe
When you hold me
And kiss me slowly
It's the sweetest thing
And it don't change
If I had it my way
You would know that you are


You're the coffee that I need in the morning
You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring
Won't you give yourself to me?
Give it all, oh
I just wanna see


I just wanna see how beautiful you are
You know that I see it
I know you're a star
Where you go, I'll follow
No matter how far
If life is a movie
Oh, you're the best part, oh
You're the best part, oh
Best part


It's this sunrise
And those brown eyes, yes
You're the one that I desire
When we wake up
And then we make love
It makes me feel so nice


You're my water when I'm stuck in the desert
You're the Tylenol I take when my head hurts
You're the sunshine on my life


I just wanna see how beautiful you are
You know that I see it
I know you're a star
Where you go, I'll follow
No matter how far
If life is a movie
Then you're the best part, oh
You're the best part, oh
Best part

MY FATHER, THE ASTRONAUT

If the moon was Europe, my father was an astronaut who died on his
     way to the moon.
My father, the failed moonwalker, blinded by space.
My father, the
     Black cosmonaut, frenzied
by thirst. My father who heard the voice of God, clear as the call to
    prayer, suspended in that dark desert.
My father who wore a spacesuit slashed by longing, spinning towards
     the vast desolate.
On a night when the angels have drawn back their wings, you may
      glimpse my father
hurtling through space, his body carried by gravity’s absence, blood
      collecting in his head,
his tears pink, gelatinous clots, unable to fall. (2022, Warsan Shire. From: Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head Publisher: Penguin Random house)
