“I don’t have time to exercise.”

Yes, you do.

No gym?
No equipment?
No excuses!

This 15-minute workout will hit your whole body, at home, with no equipment:

Exercise is a key component of a long, healthy life.

Key benefits:

- Build muscle
- Improve mood
- Manage weight
- Increase confidence
- Improve brain health
- Improve quality of life
- Reduce risk of disease
- Increase life expectancy
- Strengthen bones and muscles
Despite all of these benefits, people don’t do it.

Most common excuse?

“No time.”

People lead busy lives, but the idea that they can’t fit in exercise is simply not true.

15 minutes a day is all you need to prioritize your health with no equipment and without leaving home.
1. Body weight squat

These develop your:

- Glutes
- Quads
- Hamstrings
- Calves
- Core

Try to get your quads parallel to the ground each rep.

Progress: slow down your reps for added resistance.

The best part? These can be done literally anywhere.
2. Push-ups

This upper-body exercise has stuck around for a reason: it works.

Push-ups develop your:

- Chest
- Shoulders
- Triceps
- Core

If you can’t do full push-ups at first, start on your knees.

Progress: move your hands closer and further apart to work different areas.
3. Pull-ups

You can do these using a door frame or a bar outside.

These develop your:

- Back
- Traps
- Shoulders
- Biceps
- Core
- Forearms

Use a chair to assist yourself if they’re too difficult at first.

Progress: wear a heavy backpack for more resistance.
4. Single-leg deadlifts

These develop your:

- Posterior chain
- Hamstrings
- Calves
- Back
- Core

The key here is to have slow, controlled movements.

Move down slowly until you feel your hamstrings stretch.

Progress: use dumbbells for extra weight.

You can change up the workout and choose different movements, just make sure you’re hitting these categories.

Here’s a few more exercise options:

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party
Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
