“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.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):
https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
