The truth about protein bars: the ingredients that could upset your stomach
Protein bars promise a convenient post-workout protein hit, but are they as good for you as they claim? Registered nutritionist Rob Hobson reveals which ingredients can cause digestive problems, what to look for on the label and how to choose a bar that supports your fitness goals. The UK protein bar market has exploded from a niche sports supplement shelf into a multibillion-pound grab-and-go staple.
Resting heart rate: what’s normal – and when should you worry?
Money 1 hour ago Elon Musk gives worst financial advice ever, and the replies are hilarious Mashable - Stan Schroeder • 1h "You can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat." You know how security experts always tell you to be careful about posting your private (and especially private financial) data online? Yeah, what do they know. Elon Musk knows better.
Noah Ohlsen busts fitness myths about aging: “There is no threshold”
Even though Noah Ohlsen has been competing at the sharp end of functional fitness for well over a decade, 2026 marks a wholly new chapter for one of the sport’s most recognizable names. Following 10 consecutive appearances at the CrossFit Games between 2014 and 2023, as well as an impressive performance at the World Fitness Project, the 2026 season saw Ohlsen competing in the 35-39 Masters bracket at the CrossFit Games. It was here that a new chapter of his career was ushered in.
5 Surprising Things Your Dentist Has Never Told You
Your dentist checks for cavities, monitors your gum health and sends you off with a new toothbrush — or a new brushing plan — every few years. What they rarely mention is everything else going on in there. Your mouth is host to its own microbiome, a dense colony of bacteria that talks directly to your gut, your heart, and your immune system. Neglect it, however, and the effects show up far beyond your teeth, in inflammation markers, sleep quality, and even cardiovascular risk.
Could Low Stomach Acid Be Behind Your Bloat?
Open any mainstream health magazine and the gut health advice will, almost certainly, address the issue of excess stomach acid. Heartburn or acid reflux, for example, or indigestion; yet it’s hypochlorhydria, or low stomach acid, that could be the exact reason you’re feeling bloated, gassy or sluggish — perhaps all three — after eating a perfectly balanced meal.
The End of Optimisation
This piece originally appeared in The Source: The Anti-Optimisation Issue, Healf's print magazine. In April, I had my first nervous breakdown. I was in the midst of trying to navigate the purchase of my first home, while also dealing with a family member's terminal illness and worrying about future job prospects in a volatile market. My anxiety reached a type of fever pitch that I had never — in my 33 years — experienced before.
Noah Ohlsen on why ageing doesn’t mean losing fitness
儘管 Noah Ohlsen 已在功能性體適能最高層級征戰超過十年，2026 年仍為這位最具代表性的選手之一揭開了全新篇章。 在 2014 至 2023 年間連續 10 次登上 CrossFit Games 舞台，並在World Fitness Project繳出亮眼表現後，Ohlsen 於 2026 賽季轉戰 CrossFit Games 的 35–39 歲大師組，也由此開啟職業生涯的新篇章。 在加州聖荷西舉行的多日賽事結束後，36 歲的 Ohlsen 從激烈競爭中脫穎而出、成功奪冠，也用實際表現證明：即使進入 30 多歲，依然能持續訓練、提升體能，並突破自己的極限。 Red Bull 能量飲料 正如他在接受 Red Bull 獨家專訪時所說，這次勝利的關鍵，在於他至今仍能維持十年前那種標誌性的高強度訓練狀態。當時，Ohlsen 與功能性體適能 這項運動都還正處於逐步成長、找到自己節奏的階段。 那麼，十多年後，Ohlsen 維持頂尖體能的祕訣究竟是什麼？一般 30 多歲的人，又該如何運用同樣的方法，持續增強肌力並提升整體體能？ 剛在聖荷西奪冠的 Ohlsen 表示：「過去 15...

How to Naturally Boost Neuroplasticity
At HX26, Healf’s flagship immersive wellbeing and longevity event, one of the most popular talks was a keynote address given by neuroscientist and Stanford professor Andrew Huberman on the mainstage. With thousands attending the event in central London, the popular podcaster spent over an hour dissecting modern neuroscience, from peptides to psilocybin, SSRIs, and sleep — including a few simple steps we can take to get more of it.

Cold Plunge vs. Sauna: Which One Is Better?
It’s thought that the earliest form of the sauna dates back 10,000 years, found in ancient Islamic practices and Native American sweat lodges. One early version of the concept was the pit sauna: a hole dug into the ground, with a pile of stones heated by a campfire at the bottom. Once the pit was covered with thatch or peat, water was thrown over the hot stones to create steam.

Why Your Hands Are Always Cold — And What It Says About Your Health
While 37°C has long been the go-to figure for "normal" human body temperature (we can thank German physician Carl Wunderlich for that, who measured armpit temperatures across 25,000 people in the mid-1800s and identified the average result) research is now showing that a normal baseline actually runs slightly lower than that. In reality, the ideal human body temperature isn’t a single fixed number, but a range that spans between 36.1°C and 37.2°C.
HYROX singlowo czy w parze? Co jest trudniejsze?
W tym roku ponad 50 procent osób startujących w zawodach HYROX na całym świecie zdecyduje się na start w drużynie w kategorii podwójnej. W globalnej społeczności HYROX wywołało to fundamentalne pytanie: czy trudniej jest ścigać się samemu, czy w parze? Na papierze porównanie wydaje się proste: wyścig HYROX w kategorii pojedynczej wymaga od zawodnika samodzielnego pokonania wszystkich stacji funkcjonalnych i przebiegnięcia 8 km w całkowitej samotności.

Ida 的 HYROX 未竟目標
丹麥運動員 Ida Mathilde Steensgaard 早已習慣身處不斷變化之中。十多年來，她一直是障礙賽（OCR）界的知名選手，在世界各地多次登上頒獎台，並累積了亮眼戰績，包括兩座 OCR 世界冠軍與三面歐洲錦標賽獎牌。 在障礙賽中，每場比賽的路線、距離與障礙都會改變，不同年份的賽事也從不完全相同。Steensgaard 必須全力拚搏，才能在這項運動中闖出名號。如今，她不僅因能熟練應對多元障礙賽道而備受肯定，出色的適應能力也同樣受到讚賞。最能展現這項特質的，莫過於「世界最艱難遊樂場」計畫——這是一項由 Steensgaard 親自設計、量身打造的極限障礙挑戰。 Ida Mathilde Steensgaard had to take stock after Helsinki 在參賽（OCR）巔峰後，Steensgaard 於 2022 年決定離開這個瞬息萬變的賽場，轉而投入節奏更快、強度更高的HYROX。在2026 年 HYROX 世界錦標賽開賽前幾天，她回顧自己離開 OCR...
"It mirrors real life better than most gym exercises" A celebrity PT recommends this simple move as the best strength exercise most over 50s aren't doing
Muscular woman performing step up with dumbbells in gym. There’s a reason why some of the most effective exercises tend to mirror movements in real life. It’s not because personal trainers and coaches lack imagination, but because the body doesn't care how creative your programming is — it cares whether you can climb a flight of stairs without grabbing the banister, for example, or if you can catch yourself from a stumble.

HYROX en simple ou en double : lequel est le plus difficile?
Cette année, plus de 50 % des participants aux courses HYROX à travers le monde choisiront d'y prendre part en équipe dans la catégorie en double. Au sein de la communauté HYROX mondiale, ça a soulevé une question fondamentale : est-ce plus difficile de concourir seul ou à deux? Sur papier, la comparaison semble simple : dans une course HYROX simple, l'athlète doit assumer seul la charge complète de chaque station fonctionnelle et parcourir les 8 km de course à pied en solo.
How to train grip strength for Red Bull Agri-Grit and beyond
Your grip strength reveals more about you than you might realise. If you train regularly, you know it's essential for exercises like pull-ups, farmers' carries, bent-over rows and, of course, the king of all compound moves: the deadlift. But, did you also know that both how long you can hold a grip and the force you can generate aren't just measures of strength? They're also key indicators of your overall health and longevity.

HYROX Singles vs HYROX Doubles
今年，全球參加 HYROX 賽事的選手中，超過一半將選擇以雙人組形式參賽。這也讓 HYROX 社群開始思考一個核心問題：單人參賽比較難，還是雙人搭檔更具挑戰？ 從表面上看，兩者的差異很明確：HYROX 單人賽要求選手獨自承擔每個功能性訓練站的全部負荷，並完成全程 8 公里跑步。雙人賽雖然每位選手同樣都要跑完 8 公里，但各訓練站的任務可由兩人分擔，因此每人在訓練站所承受的實際運動量，基本上減少了一半。 不過，同時參加過兩種賽制的頂尖選手會告訴你，實際情況遠比表面複雜。單人賽與雙人賽都必須完成相同的跑步距離：總計 8 公里，分成八段 1 公里跑步，並穿插八個功能性體能站。雙人賽並不是單人賽的捷徑，也不代表比較輕鬆；它考驗的是一套截然不同的生理負荷與戰術安排。 以下將完整解析 HYROX 單人賽與雙人賽的差異，並提供關鍵資訊，幫助你判斷哪種賽制更適合自己。千萬別低估其中的挑戰…… HYROX 雙人賽的基本架構與單人賽相同：共設有八個訓練站，每個站點之間穿插 1 公里跑步，總跑步距離為 8...
每週 3 天訓練備戰 HYROX
在工作、家庭與其他生活責任之間安排 HYROX 訓練，確實容易讓人感到壓力。如果每週只能抽出兩、三天訓練，你可能會懷疑：這樣真的足以為比賽做好準備嗎？ 好消息是，每週只要安排三次結構完整的訓練，就足以逐步建立完成 HYROX 賽事所需的力量、耐力與專項體能。為了了解該如何做到，我們訪問了 HYROX Elite 15 選手伊達・瑪蒂爾德・斯滕斯高（Ida Mathilde Steensgaard ）與教練蒂亞戈・洛薩（Tiago Lousa），請他們分享如何讓每一次訓練都發揮最大效益。 Three days a week will get you across the finish line 以標準 HYROX 單人賽為例，每位選手都必須完成以下項目：1,000 公尺滑雪機、50 公尺雪橇推行、50 公尺雪橇拖拉、80 公尺波比跳遠、1,000 公尺划船機、200 公尺農夫走路、100 公尺沙袋弓箭步，以及 100 次藥球；各項目之間還穿插共八段、每段 1 公里的跑步。無論你是第一次接觸...
Laura Horváth 挑戰 HYROX 世界賽
在斯德哥爾摩草莓體育館的聚光燈下，6,000名全球頂尖混合體能與功能性體能選手，將登上這項運動的最高舞台—— 2026 HYROX世界錦標賽。 在眾多頂尖參賽者之中，除了現任HYROX 世界紀錄保持者Alexander Rončević 與 Joanna Wietrzyk，還有一位並非出身 HYROX、而是來自高強度功能性體能領域的知名選手——匈牙利名將 Laura Horváth。 Red Bull 能量飲料 在斯德哥爾摩， Laura Horváth 將暫別競技功能性體能賽場，與她的哥哥、教練兼事業夥伴 Kristóf 一同參加 Pro Doubles 組別。兩人將踏入全新的競技領域，迎戰全球頂尖的分齡組選手，並力拚突破他們在 HYROX 科隆站創下的 58分24秒紀錄。比賽將於6月21日星期日登場。對這對來自布達佩斯的搭檔而言，他們沒有什麼可失去，卻有無限可能可以爭取。 Laura and Kristóf Horváth are siblings and HYROX Doubles partners 出身頂尖功能性體能競技領域，並曾奪得 2025年世界體能計畫冠軍的...
Jak trenować do HYROX-a, poświęcając na to zaledwie 3 dni w tygodniu
Trening do HYROX może wydawać się przytłaczający, gdy musisz godzić pracę, rodzinę i inne obowiązki. Jeśli masz tylko kilka dni w tygodniu na trening, możesz się zastanawiać, czy to wystarczy, by przygotować się do dnia zawodów. Dobra wiadomość jest taka, że trzy dobrze zaplanowane sesje mogą wystarczyć, by zbudować siłę, wytrzymałość i kondycję niezbędne do ukończenia zawodów HYROX.
How Laura Horváth is using fitness, family and fortitude at HYROX Worlds

Warum Ida Mathilde Steensgaard mit HYROX noch eine Rechnung offen hat
Die dänische Athletin Ida Mathilde Steensgaard ist es gewohnt, sich ständig im Wandel zu befinden. Seit über einem Jahrzehnt ist sie eine feste Größe in der Obstacle-Course-Racing-Szene (OCR), hat weltweit Podiumsplätze erobert und dabei jede Menge Trophäen gesammelt – darunter zwei OCR-Weltmeistertitel und drei Europameisterschaftsmedaillen.
HYROX individual vs HYROX dobles: ¿Cuál es más difícil?
Los competidores de élite que han participado en ambos formatos te dirán que la realidad puede ser mucho más matizada. Ambos cubren la misma distancia de carrera: 8 km divididos en intervalos de 1 km junto con ocho estaciones de fitness funcional. En este caso, el doble no es un atajo ni una alternativa «más fácil» al individual; más bien, plantea un escenario fisiológico y táctico completamente diferente.
HYROX Singles vs HYROX Doubles: which is harder?
However, elite competitors who have tackled both formats will tell you that the reality can be far more nuanced. Both formats cover the same running distance: 8km broken into 1km intervals alongside eight functional fitness stations. Here, doubles isn't a shortcut or an ‘easier’ alternative to singles; rather, it introduces a completely different physiological and tactical scenario.
HYROX-Training: So trainierst du in nur 3 Tagen pro Woche
Das Training für HYROX kann sich entmutigend anfühlen, wenn du Arbeit, Familie und andere Verpflichtungen unter einen Hut bringen musst. Wenn du nur ein paar Tage pro Woche trainieren kannst, fragst du dich vielleicht, ob das ausreicht, um dich auf den Wettkampftag vorzubereiten. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass drei gut strukturierte Trainingseinheiten tatsächlich genug sein können, um die Kraft, Ausdauer und rennspezifische Fitness aufzubauen, die du für ein HYROX-Event brauchst.
Cómo entrenar para HYROX sólo 3 días a la semana
Entrenar para HYROX puede parecer desalentador cuando estás haciendo malabarismos con el trabajo, la familia y otros compromisos. Si sólo tienes un par de días a la semana para entrenar, puede que te preguntes si eso es suficiente para prepararte para el día de la carrera. La buena noticia es que tres sesiones bien estructuradas pueden bastar para desarrollar la fuerza, la resistencia y la forma física específica de la carrera necesarias para completar una prueba HYROX.
How to train for HYROX in just 3 days per week
Training for HYROX can feel daunting when you're juggling work, family and other commitments. If you only have just a couple days a week to train, you might wonder whether that's enough to prepare for race day. The good news is that three well-structured sessions can be enough to build the strength, endurance and race-specific fitness needed to complete a HYROX event.
Why the World Fitness Project is changing functional fitness
在很長一段時間裡，菁英功能性健身的歷史更像是圍繞著一個個瞬間，而不是完整賽季。運動員全年訓練，只為在某個週末達到巔峰、爭奪頒獎台，然後又回到自己的健身房，重新開始下一輪循環。這些表現令人印象深刻，但整體架構卻稍縱即逝。它缺乏延續性，保障有限，也幾乎沒有一條能讓粉絲在賽場之外持續追隨的宏大敘事。 The World Fitness Project (WFP)正在改變這一切。透過打造一個貫穿整個賽季的職業聯盟，WFP 正在讓功能性健身更像一項成熟運動，而不是一系列彼此獨立的賽事。大幅提高獎金總額的消息，更進一步強化了這個訊息，象徵這項運動正逐漸擺脫「菁英健身只是昂貴興趣」的長期觀念，轉向更接近職業生涯的發展模式。 2025 賽季成為這個理念的初步考驗，哥本哈根總決賽同時展現了精彩場面與實質內容，其中 Laura Horváth 在壓力下展現出的強勢表現尤其令人矚目。更重要的是，它讓人看見，當成績能夠累積、故事線逐漸發展，粉絲也有理由從賽季開始一路投入到最後時，這項運動可以呈現出什麼樣的樣貌。 隨著巡迴賽準備重返丹麥，迎來 2026...
2026 World Fitness Project 觀賽指南
今年是 World Fitness Project（WFP）的第二年，這是一個全新的多賽事聯盟，為競技健身帶來耳目一新的視角。在 2025 年首個賽季大獲成功後，WFP 將世界各地的職業選手與日常運動愛好者聚集在一起；而 2026 年對這個新聯盟來說，將是關鍵的一年——其中充滿全新挑戰、令人興奮的新訓練項目，以及包括Laura Horváth 與 James Sprague 在內的世界級運動員，他們都希望在這個快速成長的聯盟中打響自己的名號。 在三個巡迴分站——英國倫敦、美國印第安納州與丹麥哥本哈根——男子組與女子組各 20 名運動員將在一系列功能性健身項目中激烈對決，從高強度衝刺訓練、功能性測試，到重量級槓鈴訓練，以及介於其中的各種挑戰。以下是你在 WFP 充滿能量的第二個賽季前可以期待的內容、值得嘗試的訓練項目，以及如何親自跟上賽事動態。 Defending champion Laura Horváth is certainly one to watch World Fitness Project 由前 CrossFit Games 運動員 Will...
How she's preparing for her WFP title defence
距離 Laura Horváth 首次在國際舞台嶄露頭角，正好已經過了 10 年；而她走過的距離，衡量的從來不只是時間。2015 年，還是青少年的 Horváth 站上 Athens Throwdown 的頒獎台，拿下個人首場比賽勝利。那是這項運動的另一個時代，對這位匈牙利選手來說，也在許多層面上是截然不同的人生。當時，她甚至沒有自己的銀行帳戶，最後是直接帶著 5,000 歐元獎金現金離開。 十年後的今天，這位功能性健身超級運動員早已不再是那個只想帶著一口袋獎金回家的黑馬。隨著她準備迎接即將到來的 2026 World Fitness Project（WFP），Horváth 的身份不只是有力競爭者，更是在2025 年哥本哈根寫下歷史性勝利後的衛冕冠軍。從希臘那場突破性的時刻，到如今成為這項運動中的主宰力量，Horváth 已準備好捍衛王座，並在這個過程中鞏固自己 10 年來的卓越傳奇——但在不斷演變的功能性健身世界裡，勝利從來沒有保證。 觀看 Horváth 的紀錄片《Together We...
World Fitness Project 2026 guide: athletes, workouts and how to watch
This year marks the second year of the World Fitness Project (WFP), a new, multi-event league that’s offering a refreshing perspective on competitive fitness.
World Fitness Project: Laura Horváths´ Weg zur Titelverteidigung
Es ist genau 10 Jahre her, dass Laura Horváth sich auf der internationalen Bühne einen Namen gemacht hat, und die zurückgelegte Strecke wird nicht nur in Zeit gemessen. Im Jahr 2015 stand Horváth als Teenager ganz oben auf dem Athener Throwdown-Podium und holte sich ihren ersten Wettkampfsieg. Es war eine andere Ära des Sports - und ein anderes Leben für die Ungarin in mehr als einer Hinsicht. Damals besaß sie noch nicht einmal ein Bankkonto und nahm die 5.000 Euro Preisgeld in bar mit nach Hause.
'No barbell, no special equipment and no gym membership required': the forward lunge is the best simple move you're not doing, and it's vital for over-50s
Older man at home lunging on a yoga mat. Ask any exercise scientist what they would prescribe to someone serious about staying strong into their 50s and beyond, and the answer is rarely what you'd hope for — and certainly not what the fitness industry is currently trying to sell you. It isn't long sessions on one of the best under-desk treadmills or a stationary bike like the Peloton, nor the kind of machine-based exercises that isolate muscles without ever teaching them to work together.
Win, lose, or draw, Laura Horváth’s title is hers to defend
It has been exactly 10 years since Laura Horváth first made her mark on the international stage and the distance travelled is measured in more than just time. In 2015, a teenage Horváth stood atop the Athens Throwdown podium and claimed her first-ever competition win. It was a different era of the sport - and a different life for the Hungarian in more ways than one. At the time, she didn’t even own a bank account and walked away with her €5,000 prize purse in cold, hard cash.
Für Laura Horváth ist jeder Sieg eine Familienangelegenheit
Funktionelle Fitness kann ein einsamer Sport sein. Wenn die Uhr läuft, schrumpft das Stadion, bis nur noch du, eine schwere Langhantel und der Geschmack von Metall in deiner Kehle übrig sind. Unter den Scheinwerfern, wenn sich der Schweiß auf dem Gummiboden sammelt und der Lärm der Menge zu einem entfernten Brummen schrumpft, kann es wie die ultimative Willensprüfung im Alleingang aussehen. Hier heben die Athlet:innen allein, leiden allein und - wenn sie Glück haben - gewinnen sie allein.
'This just knows so much more than a human ever could': Meet CoachCube, the intelligent AI personal trainer that lives inside a Tron-style box room
Man taking part in the CoachCube workout class. Fitness in 2026 feels like it's pulling in two very different directions at once. On one hand, artificial intelligence is continuing to colonise the gym floor — largely from AI-powered coaching apps, but also via new analysis of data points from wearables, gently nudging you off the sofa based on sleep and recovery data collected from the likes of the best smartwatches, best smart rings or your form factor of choice.

5 Reasons You’re Waking Up Tired — And How to Fix It
When was the last time you truly woke up feeling energised and well-rested? For many, getting consistent, restorative sleep becomes more difficult as life moves on. Whether that’s due to childcare responsibilities, changing routines or external stressors, many of us still wake up tired despite thinking we’ve spent an adequate amount of time beneath the sheets.
Not a squat, not a deadlift — the trap bar deadlift 'sits between' the two, builds muscle fast and is safe for the over-50 crowd
Man in vest in gym performing trap bar deadlift. Most gym exercises fall into one of two categories: those that look impressive and those that actually build real strength. Bicep curls and cable crunches have their place, sure — but they're not the foundation of real functional strength that carries over into many areas of life. This distinction matters at any age, of course, but it matters most once you're past 50 years old, when the goal in the weights room can shift from aesthetics to longevity.
