Nearly everyone has heard of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most famous soccer players in the world. He holds the record for the most goals scored in the UEFA Champions League, making many people wonder what kind of habits and routines it takes to be the best. Successful athletes have to be dedicated and consistent with their exercise regimen, nutrition, rest, and stress management.

Ronaldo takes things a step further by using Bioniq’s personalized supplements. This London-based company has you take a quiz and submit blood test data to let you know what supplements you actually need to be taking. Many people don’t know exactly what their body needs an extra boost of, but this has been one of Ronaldo’s secrets for the past three years to achieve optimal health both externally and internally.

Boniq utilizes advanced AI analyses to generate pharmaceutical-grade formulas that feature up to 120 nutrients. Based on your specific needs (and Ronaldo’s!), they then create a prebiotic granule that is similar to chewed-up food, cueing your body to digest it and ensuring maximum nutrient absorption. This blend allows you to skip taking ten different capsules every morning and hoping that your body will actually break down the shells in a timely manner.

How big is Ronaldo’s commitment to Bioniq? In addition to being a member and his personal endorsement, he’s recently made a significant investment into the company, bringing its total valuation to $82 million.

“Backing Bioniq goes beyond just an investment opportunity for me—it’s about aligning with a shared vision for health, performance, and longevity,” said Ronaldo. “I have been using their products myself for almost three years. With their personalized health approach, I believe Bioniq has the potential to transform how we care for our bodies and help people reach and maintain their peak performance for longer.”

They say put your money where your mouth is and, well, Ronaldo did. If this upgraded supplementation process sounds intriguing to you, head over to Boniq’s website and take the quiz.

Here’s why elite runners are adding kettlebell exercises to their workout plans

Compared to standard weight training, research shows kettlebell exercises provide a significantly higher-intensity workout with faster, better results.

I like the humble kettlebell, not only because it looks like a teapot, and I’m British, so I love tea. It’s also because I enjoy fun moves like kettlebell swings for stretching and strengthening my back, shoulders, and more. For me, it feels easier and more secure to wrap my hand around and grip the kettlebell handle. You can choose from numerous kettlebell exercises targeting specific muscle groups, from the Goblet squat to the Turkish get-up. Many of these moves work most of the muscles in your body.

There’s a good reason why plenty of elite runners are adding kettlebell exercises to their workout plans. Let’s explore some of the best moves for runners and why.

Just like the fitness entry test for the FBI, police forces around the world have their own physical entry tests and requirements for new recruits. Recently, Garda, otherwise known as the Irish police force, made big changes to their physical entry assessment, including dropping the exercises and challenges many of us remember doing in school.
Ditching the sit-ups and push-ups

Garda chiefs stated that those wishing to join the force would no longer have to power through any sit-ups or push-ups to gain admission to the Garda College. The policy recently came into effect after growing concerns over the low number of people passing the initial fitness test and officials having difficulty bringing in new recruits.
