On my last weight loss journey, I realized that the only one I want to compete against is myself. I also discovered that I prefer video courses to in-person instruction. MYX Fitness offers all of that and, as I found out during two weeks of MYX-fueled exercise, much more. First, the basics–Like the Peloton, The MYX is a commercial-grade Stationary Star Trac Bike. It has a 21.5" touch screen tablet that swivels 360 degrees above the handlebars....

“In tennis, I draw inspiration from Nadal. He has an unbelievable mentality and fighting prowess. If people could fight like him, they would go up the ranking. Nadal is very special player,” the Sweden number one said after defeating India’s wildcard Suran Prabodh in the USD 100,000 ATP Challenger Tour event. World No 147 Elias is seen as someone who could rekindle Swedish hopes in tennis with Stefan Edberg being the last Swede to win the Wimbledon in 1990....

Nine days out from the French Open beginning, Nadal delivered an ominous warning to his rivals at Roland Garros by winning 12 of the final 14 games against Verdasco in Rome. Verdasco had a break-point chance to move 3-0 up early on but Nadal soon found his rhythm and was ruthless in the second set, recording his third bagel of the week. Nadal will hope to reach his 11th final in the Italian capital and the eight-time champion now faces Tsitsipas, who beat the Spaniard in the semi-finals at the Madrid Open last week, after the Greek was handed a walkover following Roger Federer’s injury-enforced withdrawal....

Nadal, the defending champion, surpassed Roger Federer for most ATP Masters 1000 wins after brushing past Guido Pella in Montreal. Zverev, the winner in 2017, was pushed to a final-set tie-break before edging past Nikoloz Basilashvili. All eight quarter-finalists are seeds, who dominated to move into the last eight. NADAL SURPASSES FEDERER WITH PELLA POUNDING Top seed Nadal made it four wins from as many meetings with Pella thanks to a 6-3 6-4 victory....

The Spaniard, who had a stomach bug in the build-up to the match, wrapped up a 6-3 6-3 victory at the Madrid Open, where he is seeking a sixth title. But Nadal was impressed with 18-year-old Auger-Aliassime, whose aggressive approach underlined his confidence, even if the 30 unforced errors ultimately proved his undoing. “Felix is a great opponent, a great player and he’ll be a great champion,” said the 17-time grand slam champion....

Steelers running back Najee Harris had, by all accounts, a strong individual 2021 rookie campaign. He had 1,200 yards on 307 carries, seven rushing touchdowns, and 467 more receiving yards. Heading into 2022, however, Harris is looking to improve upon an already-impressive campaign. According to Mark Kaboly at The Athletic, Harris is reportedly entering training camp at 244 pounds, a pound more than Jerome Bettis weighed in his prime. Kaboly wisely added Harris is “all quads and hamstrings,” attempting to curb the inevitable concerns about weight....

One of the most surprising turn of events that’s happen throughout the games’ incredibly slow development was the revelation that Namco Bandai would be aiding Nintendo with the development of Smash; alongside franchise creator Masahiro Sakurai and his crew at Sora LTD. This new found partnership instantly spawned rumors that a Namco Bandai-owned character would be joining the imminent brawler, and lead to copious amounts of speculation. According to Sakurai, this is not the case, and Namco Bandai won’t be given any special consideration when it comes to including its characters in the forthcoming games....

When Tekken was released in 1994 it was notable for its use of 3D graphics, as the fighting game genre was largely populated by 2D games inspired by the mammoth success of Street Fighter II. However, the retrospective video released yesterday reimagines the series’ cast of characters as superdeformed 2D sprites. From the very beginning, Tekken has been about the conflict between various generations of the Mishima clan. The series’ big bad Heihachi has never really got on too well with any of the Mishimas that came before or after him, and those disputes have often led to violent battles over the family business, that frequently end with someone being thrown from a cliff or into a volcano....

This becomes an issue for many who depend on the lower cost of used titles - since players cannot start anew when they load up the game. While this may seem fine for anyone who buys the game new, if one were to buy the game used all content unlocked by the previous owner would still be there and cannot be deleted - including their high scores. As stated earlier, Capcom tried a similar tactic with the release of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D for the 3DS....

Party leader since 2003 and speaker from 2007 through 2011 and again since 2019, Pelosi has accrued a legacy that Democrats have good reason to regret. She largely managed to let down both the progressive and moderate wings of her party. Though she was never popular at the national level, her weak performance has been somewhat surprising given her successful first run as House speaker. Since Democrats recaptured the House in the 2018 election, Pelosi has continuously caved to the fringes of her party....

How else to explain beach reading? We don’t go on vacation the whole summer, but come June a lot of us do lighten the content of our reading lists for the next three or so months. (The phrase “beach reading” is, in fact, hideously misleading. Trust me, I lived at the beach for 12 years and have done the research: even under a beach umbrella, the glare makes it nearly impossible or, at the very least, painful....

Murray ascended the ATP rankings after a stunning end to 2016 culminated with a Tour Finals victory over Novak Djokovic in London, but he has struggled ever since. The Briton’s sole title of the year came in Dubai in March and he failed to reach the final in any of the year’s grand slams - his best run coming at the French Open where he lost to Stan Wawrinka in the semi-finals....

I watched this debate from Pakistan, leaving Lahore one day before the bombing. Pakistanis—somewhat dazed in the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination—are not quite sure how to take in all the attention. Most are intrigued by their newfound prominence, defensive about the gloomy picture painted of their country and hopeful that their problems will lead to international help. But all are genuinely worried. Things have rarely looked as bad....

However, when people actually attain that dream, some can decide stardom is not for them and leave music to embark on an entirely new career. Below, Newsweek rounds up the musicians who ended up stepping away from the spotlight to pursue a surprisingly new line of employment.

Mutant Football League is all about violent combat between teams of unique mutants, structured into a semblance of a football game.

The signal caller’s remarkable first season as the Kansas City Chiefs’ starter was recognised on Saturday when it was confirmed Mahomes had pipped Drew Brees to the MVP award. Few could argue that Mahomes deserved such an honour having thrown for over 5,000 yards and tossed 50 touchdowns for a 12-4 Chiefs team that lost the AFC Championship Game to the New England Patriots. Those numbers justified the Chiefs’ decision to trade their previous starting quarterback in the offseason, with Kansas City having determined that the electrifying Mahomes could take them further than the steady and reliable Alex Smith....
