"title": "I Tried TikTok's Viral Fitness Trend for Days -- Here's the Biggest Change I Felt in My Body",
"body": "Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.\n\n\"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.\"\n\nFitness trends can range from the benign to the bizarre with a variety of purported benefits -- some more realistic than others. But not all \"trends\" are snake oil. In fact, some are rooted in longstanding science that's simply gotten a rebrand. One such \"trend\" you'll probably notice on #FitnessTok is the \"Morning Flow.\"\n\nDespite the name, the idea isn't necessarily centered around yoga practices -- though it certainly can be. The central theme is on mobility and fluidity to energize the body and prepare it for the demands of the day to come. No one Morning Flow routine looks the same, but they are often short and sweet (some take as little as five minutes) and incorporate stretching and low-impact, light exercises.\n\nAnd science has shown time and again that the effectiveness of your exercise isn't necessarily tied to the length -- you can still reap the benefits of movement in as little as a few minutes.\n\nExample? A 2025 meta-analysis found that aerobic exercise, which is often a part of Morning Flow-style routines, is a safe and effective way to reduce joint pain in folks with knee issues.\n\nAs someone who is already in the habit of mindfully stretching while still in bed each morning, I was totally bought into the concept. So, I set out to incorporate these intentional micro-routines into my a.m. and learn more about the potential benefits in the process.\n\nWhat happened when I tried it\n\nInstead of following one specific \"flow,\" I decided to incorporate beginner-friendly yoga poses that I commonly saw across morning-style routines.\n\nI went with: Child's Pose, Puppy Pose, Downward Dog, Cat-Cow, and Hand-to-Heart pose -- all of which I was already familiar with in my yoga practice.\n\nMy goal was to complete the flow every day for three consecutive mornings. Committing was as simple as the movements were. I timed each movement, holding each pose for 10 breaths before flowing onto the next in the sequence.\n\nI never felt rushed as the breathwork kept me grounded and present in the practice -- a noticeable difference from my typical mornings of jumping headfirst into my busy day or my usual 45-minute walking workout.\n\nAfter three days of my new schedule, I was hooked. I was somehow both energized and relaxed. I continued to enjoy a nice boost of energy as my morning went on, and looked forward to the next morning's routine.\n\nHow to do it\n\nAs long as you're getting enough quality sleep, you can do this as early (or late!) as works for your schedule, says Stefani Sassos, M.S., R.D.N., C.D.N., NASM-CPT, Good Housekeeping's nutrition and fitness director. \"It really comes down to how you feel,\" says Sassos. \"The key is waking up feeling rested, not depleted.\"\n\nThat said, be sure you're well hydrated before jumping into any Morning Flow, she adds. \"Your body wakes up slightly dehydrated, so drinking water right away makes a big difference,\" says Sassos. \"As for eating, it's very individual. Some people feel great with a small snack like a banana, while others -- especially if you have a sensitive stomach in the morning -- prefer to train fasted.\"\n\nOnce you're ready to get moving, you want to take things slow -- even with gentle, low-impact movement. Completing a handful of basic warm-up stretches before moving into Morning Flow is the right idea.\n\n\"Think of your body like the engine of a car -- it doesn't necessarily need an hour to idle after sleep, but it does need a proper transition,\" says Tyler McDonald, NASM-CPT, CNC, a certified personal trainer in Phoenix, Arizona, and senior brand marketing manager for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). \"Straight out of bed, your core body temperature is lower, and your joints are less lubricated, so jumping right into a session without a ramp-up can be a shock to the system. You risk injury.\"\n\nWho should avoid doing a Morning Flow?\n\nEven though these routines are low impact by design, they aren't always appropriate for everyone.\n\nFor flows that utilize yoga poses and sequences, you'll want to have a foundational understanding of yoga basics and a strong sense of balance. As such, anyone with knee, hip, or low-back problems, those with high blood pressure, or issues with balance or vision should consider skipping these routines, according to the National Institutes of Health.\n\nThose who are 65 or older, pregnant, or have preexisting medical conditions may want to exercise caution, as well.\n\nNo matter what methodology a Morning Flow utilizes, consider consulting your doctor for guidance before starting any new fitness routine.\n\nThe bottom line\n\nI intend to keep doing this Morning Flow routine and may also try some different exercises too. It's fantastic to find a stretching routine that you can tailor to your needs, and that sets you up for a great day, both physically and mentally.",

"title": "Shein executive chairman to step down as IPO nears completion: sources",
"body": "[LONDON/HONG KONG] Shein executive chairman Donald Tang will step down as his mission of taking the company public nears completion, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Monday (Jul 13), retreating to an advisory role after three years as the public face of the global fast-fashion retailer.\n\nA Chinese-American billionaire who began his career in banking, Tang has acted as the Western proxy of secretive Shein founder Sky Xu, liaising with politicians and regulators around the world while also representing the e-commerce group at conferences and other public events.\n\nHis planned departure raises the question of whether Xu will now step into the spotlight, assign one of his co-founders to that role or bring in another external leader.\n\nConnections in finance and politics\n\nTang, 63, will move to a role as senior adviser and continue to work closely with the management team for the foreseeable future, said a source with knowledge of the company's thinking, adding that there is no fixed timetable for the transition.\n\nShein declined to comment and did not respond to questions over who will assume Tang's duties. According to one of the sources, Xu rather than Tang will lead the investor roadshow ahead of the listing.\n\nTang, who is based in Los Angeles, was introduced to Xu by Neil Shen, founding and managing partner of HSG, formerly Sequoia Capital China, and chosen for the role because of his experience managing businesses between China and the United States as well as his connections in finance and politics, one of the sources said.\n\nShen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n\nRepeat IPO failures\n\nTang's initial mission was a New York IPO, with a move to Washington D.C. to lobby politicians there. As criticism of Shein's use of the \"de minimis\" customs duty waiver increased, he sought to get ahead of the issue in July 2023 by coming out in support of removing the waiver.\n\nHe also sought to defend Shein's reputation when lawmakers alleged its supply chain in China had links to forced labour, a highly contentious issue for Beijing, which denies any abuses.\n\nAfter the attempt at a New York listing failed and Shein pivoted to London, Tang became a frequent guest at five-star hotel The Peninsula next to Hyde Park, often bringing his dog, a teacup Australian Shepherd called Satchi.\n\nBut the London attempt also failed as the China Securities Regulatory Commission withheld its approval even after the IPO was given the green light by Britain's Financial Conduct Authority, forcing the company to shift to a Hong Kong listing.\n\nParis sex doll scandal\n\nTang hoped to leave a legacy of tighter internal checks to remove sellers of illegal products from the marketplace and better relationships with regulators, one of the sources said.\n\nLast year he spearheaded an internal push to improve regulatory compliance after Shein was hit with hefty fines from French and Italian regulators.\n\nBut in November, French regulators found sex dolls resembling children being sold on Shein's marketplace, triggering a national scandal and French government crackdown just as Shein launched its first permanent store in the BHV department store in Paris.\n\nTang featured along with Satchi on a giant poster unfurled on the BHV building ahead of the launch, but the poster was taken down soon after and Shein's French store experiment has since been abandoned.

He is allowed to do 10 minutes in one drill instead of 15.\" REUTERS",

"title": "Princess Margaret's Grandson Proposed With a Very Rare and Unique Engagement Ring That Has a Sweet Hidden Meaning",
"body": "Chatto and Ekserdijian have been romantically linked since 2021.\n\nAs Princess Margaret's grandson Samuel Chatto announced his engagement to girlfriend Eleanor Ekserdjian on July 13, he also shared a glimpse of the tradition-breaking handmade ring that he presented to pop the question.\n\nThe 29-year-old ceramic artist -- whose parents are Lady Sarah Chatto and actor Daniel Chatto -- unveiled the rare engagement ring in a black-and-white Instagram carousel. \"I'm really delighted to say that Ellie and I are engaged. And we couldn't be happier,\" Chatto captioned the photo dump, revealing that he proposed \"with a porcelain ring\" he made himself.\n\nIn a close-up image, photographed by Huseyin Ovayolu, Ekserdijan could be seen wearing a light-colored dress shirt as she displayed the ceramic jewel, which features a smooth band and a textured abstract design at the top with no diamonds or other gemstones.\n\nJeweler Jessica Flinn-Allen uncovered the special meaning behind the \"very rare\" design in an interview with Hello! Magazine, sharing, \"Sam's choice to make his fiancée's non-traditional engagement ring himself shows a level of commitment and creativity that is really special.\"\n\nShe also emphasized the unexpected choice to use porcelain, explaining, \"Not only is the material a rarity in jewelry, but the style and texture is incredibly unique and could hold special meaning to the newly-engaged couple, adding that extra special touch.\"\n\nFlinn-Allen also noted that the material itself could have a romantic hidden meaning. \"The use of porcelain here symbolizes resilience and long-lasting love, mimicking the properties of the material itself,\" she added.\n\nChatto's decision to forego a traditional diamond ring aligns with other immediate family members, as both his mom Sarah and his grandmother Margaret opted for colorful gemstones. Margaret wore a ruby ring clustered with diamonds in a floral design that looked like a rose (a nod to her middle name), while Sarah reportedly has an \"an early 19th-century diamond cluster, with table-cut stones, set in silver and surrounded by a red-gold shank chased with roses,\" per Express.\n\nChatto, who met Ekserdjian, a fellow artist, while studying at the University of Edinburgh, has been dating her since 2021. While the couple is notoriously private, Queen Elizabeth's grandnephew broke royal protocol when he invited his then-girlfriend to the royal family's Sandringham Christmas walk in 2024 -- a rule previously flouted by Prince Harry in 2017 when he brought Meghan Markle as his plus-one to the highly-photographed event.\n\nRead the original article on InStyle",

"title": "Thai bandmates recount chaos of deadly Bangkok bar fire, as death toll rises to at least 32",
"body": "Survivors expressed deep regret and shock, with ongoing concern for their band members and the severe impact on those involved.\n\nBANGKOK - First, the band saw smoke. Then the lights went out and an explosive fire ripped through the Bangkok bar and restaurant, spraying flames from the entrance into the street.\n\nThe inferno left at least 32 people dead, according to Thai news outlet Bangkok Post, including two members of the cover band on the July 12 bill.\n\nAt least two other bandmates were injured, among around 70 people who suffered from burns, smoke inhalation and other injuries, authorities said.\n\nTwo members of the group Tosakan recounted on July 13 the chaos of the blaze that raged through the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao bar and restaurant, claiming the lives of their keyboardist, Kwang, and a singer, Breeze.\n\n\"The sight of my girlfriend's body being carried out, the sight of my friend who was burned in the fire and everything that happened are still etched in my mind,\" said singer and band leader Athipat \"Ice\" Wijarn.\n\nSome members of his 11-person group, which plays Thai and international cover songs, were on stage when the fire broke out around 11pm on July 12, Athipat said in a talk show interview.\n\nHe sustained a head injury and his drummer was in critical condition.\n\n\"Our keyboard player spotted the smoke first and shouted at me to run,\" Athipat later recalled, speaking to reporters.\n\n\"When I realised there was a fire, I could smell smoke... I shouted for my girlfriend (Breeze), but then the power went out,\" he added.\n\nThe pitch-black venue was also clouded in thick smoke, and the singer could not find Breeze, despite shouting her name, he said.\n\n\"Just as I got outside, the explosion suddenly erupted,\" Athipat said, showing his injuries.\n\n'I just ran'\n\nHe tried to revive Breeze by giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when her body was brought outside, but it was too late.\n\n\"I felt terrible,\" he said, full of regret that he did not tell patrons to evacuate at the first sign of fire.\n\nThe venue had power outages before due to electrical problems, so he had assumed it was just another power glitch.\n\n\"I still feel I reacted too slowly. I should have shouted to warn everyone, but everything happened so fast and there was so much chaos that I didn't have time.\"\n\nBassist Anan \"Tor\" Prasert, 37, said he received minor burns but escaped the blaze relatively quickly - with his bass guitar still slung over his shoulder.\n\n\"At first I thought it was just the stage smoke, you know?\" Anan told reporters. \"Then smoke started coming out from the ceiling.\n\nHe told a guitarist next to him to run, Anan said.\n\n\"At that point, I wasn't thinking about anything else. I just ripped out my jack cable and ran.\"\n\nA burnt guitar and effects pedal board were lying on the pavement outside the bar on July 13, with flowers left on a partially melted electric keyboard.\n\nA fifth member of Tosakan, a singer called Din, was missing until the evening on July 13.\n\n\"Din has been found. Please wait for an update on his condition. Hoping for his safety,\" the band said in a social media post. AFP",

"body": "Wealthy buyers completed 353 luxury deals in H1, the most in four years.\n\nSingapore's luxury properties remain an attractive market for investors, as high-net-worth individuals continue to pursue capital preservation through prime real estate.\n\n\"Singapore remains a preferred investment destination among high-net-worth individuals, underpinned by its robust financial and regulatory framework, strong currency, political stability and track record of long-term capital appreciation,\" Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Research said in an analysis.\n\nCiting Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) data, Realion said that luxury home sales in the first half (H1) of 2026 reached their highest first-half volume in four years. This was thanks to wealthy investors seeking prime assets as safe havens amid global macroeconomic uncertainties.\n\nURA data showed that a total of 353 landed and non-landed homes in the Core Central Region (CCR) changed hands for at least $5m each in H1, excluding bulk transactions involving more than one unit. Luxury home transactions rose 24.7% from 283 transactions in H1 2025.\n\nWhen it comes to costs, URA's flash estimates showed that the non-landed private residential price index in the CCR increased 2.6% in H1 from the 3.8% growth in the corresponding period last year.\n\n\"Whilst price appreciation has eased, the continued increase underscores the resilience of Singapore's prime residential market amid a gradually expanding supply pipeline and evolving buyer preferences,\" said Mohan Sandrasegeran, head of research & data analytics at Singapore Realtors Inc. (SRI)\n\nSRI noted that the moderation in price growth comes as the market transitions to a healthier balance between supply and demand. He noted that newer residential properties have reached their launch phase following the push for Government Land Sales (GLS) supply over recent years.\n\nFor the coming months, Sandrasegeran expects demand to remain supported by \"resilient domestic buyers, particularly affluent owner occupiers and investors seeking long-term wealth preservation through prime residential assets.\"\n\nExperts also see Singapore's safe-haven appeal to continue attracting investors, specifically global capital and high-net-worth individuals.\n\n\"Singapore's continued reputation as a global financial centre and safe haven destination is likely to sustain interest from high-net-worth international buyers despite elevated Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates,\" Sandrasegeran said.\n\nRealion also said that the \"current euphoria over the growth prospects of artificial intelligence and expansion of semiconductor and chip manufacturing will boost hiring in certain industries.\"\n\n\"These sectors will bolster the economy and continue to prop up demand for housing, including luxury homes,\" it added.\n\nWhen it comes to location, Sandrasegeran said CCR will likely continue seeing a healthier flow of new supply as more GLS sites are expected to be launched over the coming quarters. One of the key developments expected to enter the market is the 380-unit Dunearn House, which attracted 5,900 visitors during its first preview weekend.",

It's about managing uncertainty, trust, and major life decisions,\" McKinsey said.\n\nIn an earlier interview with Asian Banking & Finance, MDRT CEO Stephen P. Stahr said that wealth advisory clients are prioritizing retirement security.\n\n\"People are living longer, which means they need assets that can sustain their expected lifestyle during their retirement years,\" Stahr said in an emailed reply to questions.\n\nHSBC has partnered with Mastercard to pilot AI agents for automated e-commerce payments.",

"body": "US President Donald Trump has also warned that the US would take out Pickaxe Mountain, a heavily fortified site located near Iran's heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility.\n\nTrump vows to hit Iran 'hard', impose Hormuz transit fees\n\nUS President Donald Trump on July 13 said the United States would again strike Iran \"hard,\" as the military launched a fresh salvo of attacks for the third night in a row and reimposed a blockade on Iranian ports.\n\n\"We're going to hit them very hard tonight, and we're going to hit them hard tomorrow,\" Trump said at the White House on July 13.\n\nShortly after, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said strikes had begun at 8.45pm GMT, adding that they would \"continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz\".\n\nTrump also threatened to destroy Pickaxe Mountain, a deeply buried nuclear site near Natanz where Western intelligence suspects Iran is building an undeclared enrichment facility.\n\nREAD MORE HERE\n\nUkraine to produce French missiles, orders war planes\n\nPresident Emmanuel Macron said on July 13 that France would allow Ukraine to produce French-made cruise missiles, precision guided bombs and air defence interceptor missiles after Kyiv ordered next generation Franco-Italian air defence systems and Rafale fighter jets.\n\n\"Earlier this afternoon President (Volodymyr) Zelensky and I agreed on a roadmap between our two countries, implementing what had been agreed in principle last November regarding our bilateral defence cooperation,\" Macron said at a news conference following a meeting of some 25 leaders in Paris.\n\nMacron's announcement marked the first time France has agreed to licence production to Ukraine, a move that would enable it to ramp up stocks at a time when Russia is intensifying strikes on the country.\n\nREAD MORE HERE\n\nEU says donors offering $1.3b to help Gaza 'early recovery'\n\nThe EU said on July 13 that European donors had put some US$1 billion (S$1.3 billion) on the table to help initial recovery efforts in war-torn Gaza.\n\nEU commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica announced the headline figure of \"almost 900 million euros or one billion dollars\" at the start of a donor meeting in Brussels.\n\n\"We now need the conditions on the ground that will allow the support to reach the people in Gaza,\" Suica said.\n\nREAD MORE HERE\n\nChina detains US seismologist who has studied North Korean nuclear tests\n\nA Chinese-born American seismologist who has published US-funded work on detecting North Korean nuclear tests has been detained in China for nearly two years and faces trial on spying charges, according to his wife, US lawmakers and two hostage advocacy groups.\n\nThe case of Youlin Chen, reported here for the first time, adds an irritant to the tense relationship between the nuclear-armed rivals and comes as President Donald Trump seeks to keep the relationship steady following the trade war in 2025.\n\nSecretary of State Marco Rubio on March 19 designated Chen, 54, as \"wrongfully detained,\" making his release a top US priority.\n\nREAD MORE HERE\n\nNorway receive heroes' welcome in Oslo after World Cup exit\n\nAround 90,000 people welcomed back Norway's players to Oslo on July 13 after they returned home from making a historic run to the World Cup quarter-finals.\n\nErling Haaland's side were knocked out of the tournament on July 11 after losing 2-1 to England in extra-time in the last eight in Miami, their best result in the competition.\n\nThe crowd packed the square in front of the royal palace in Norway's capital city as the squad arrived around, and performed the now famous \"Viking Row\".",

So proud of you uncle. Stay healthy.\"",
