This Dumbbell HIIT Workout Will Burn Out Your Arms and Abs
Biceps curls are a solid OG move on their own, and burpees are already tough AF, so why combine them for a dumbbell burpee and biceps curl?! Well, a. why not? But mostly b. because compound exercises like this give you the bigger bang for your buck. If you want the sciencey version: Compound exercises work multiple muscle groups and move multiple joint levers (think your knee and hip) so they help build overall strength quicker than isometric or single muscle-group exercises, and most importantly, get your heart rate up. Essentially, you're combining strength and conditioning not just in your one workout, but in one exercise.

Hannah Davis, C.S.C.S., and owner of Body By Hannah Studio in Cleveland, TN, created this insanely efficient dumbbell arms and abs workout by using four compound exercises that, when put together, will give you one complete, tough as nails, workout. By the end, your arms will be shaking and your core will be screaming, but victory is sweet (and so are those gains, girl)!
How it works: For each exercise, you'll work for 45 seconds, then rest for 30 before moving on to the next movement. Complete 3 rounds total.
What you'll need: A set of moderate-weight dumbbells

Sport24.co.za | Griquas thrash Sharks in Currie Cup opener
Cape Town – Griquas have outplayed the defending champions Sharks in their opening Currie Cup match at Kings Park in Durban on Friday evening.
As it happened: Sharks v Griquas
The Griquas won 37-13 after leading 10-6 at half-time.
The Griquas dotted down after just two minutes. Number eight Niel Jordaan intercepted and showed some good pace for a big man before being hauled down a couple of metres out. Scrum-half Zak Burger dummied before sniping over from close-range. George Whitehead added the extras.
The Griquas had a chance to extend their lead in the 13th minute but Whitehead dragged his penalty attempt after Jacques Vermeulen was penalised for not rolling away.
In the 24th minute, the visitors were penalised for not rolling away ten metres out before Sharks fly-half Curwin Bosch dinked the conversion over with ease.
Five minutes later, Bosch cut the deficit to just one after the Griquas went off their feet at ruck-time.
But Sharks fullback Aphelele Fassi gave away a penalty for holding on shortly before the interval before Whitehead did the rest to make it 10-6 as the sides went in to the break.
The away side scored their second try just a couple of minutes after the interval through Michal Haznar, with Whitehead adding the extras for a 17-6 lead.
Whitehead extended the lead in the 51st minute after the Sharks front-row collapsed to give away the penalty. Ten minutes later, the visitors’ fly-half added another three after number nine Burger was taken out at the ruck.
The hosts’ attack finally clicked in to gear in the 64th minute. Some deft touches by Rhyno Smith and Kobus van Wyk set JP Pietersen free who was tackled on the line before Cameron Wright picked the ball up from the ruck and dived over for the score. Bosch made no mistake with the conversion.
With ten minutes to go, the visitors launched a high bomb off the advantage before it was won back by Ederies Arendse in the home 22. They cross kicked again and it was carried back over by van Wyk, who was forced to kick clear.
From the resulting lineout, the Kimberley-based side set up the driving maul, with Wilmar Arnoldi dotting down at the back. Five minutes later, Arnoldi grabbed his brace in identical fashion, walking over at the back of another well-worked rolling maul for the bonus-point try as the Griquas capped off an impressive victory.

News24.com | Greenpeace wants more urgency from government to avoid ‘airpocalypse’
Global environmental activist group Greenpeace expressed its concern about a lack of urgency in Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe’s budget vote speech.
On Thursday, Mantashe and Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy delivered their budget votes speeches.
“Minister Mantashe’s budget vote speech indicated no real sense of urgency around the climate crisis, deadly air pollution and the thousands of people it kills prematurely.
“The growing climate crisis does not afford us the luxury of debate, and Minister Creecy is correct that unless we act now the climate crisis may threaten our very existence,” said Happy Khambule, Greenpeace Africa’s senior political adviser, in a statement.
“The reality is that South Africa and the world must do whatever is necessary to avoid complete climate breakdown. The best way for South Africa to do this is to shift away from fossil fuels.”
Khambule mentioned that although Creecy acknowledged the growing movement being built by pupils – who are protesting against adult inaction on climate change – she had stopped short of pushing for the declaration of a climate emergency.
He said this should be a top priority for her.
Asked about declaring a climate crises at a media briefing preceding her speech, Creecy said: “How would declaring a climate crises help people implement solutions? Isn’t that what we want? Solutions.
“I think what we already have is that all spheres of government have signed agreements in terms of the Paris Accord. So, we have all agreed that there is a problem.”
“Greenpeace Africa welcomes Minister Creecy’s commitment to an immediate review of our priority area air quality management plan and its implementation. This is a critically important move as the evidence is increasingly overwhelming that South Africa is in the midst of an airpocalypse, largely due to Eskom’s addiction to coal,” Khambule said.
Health24.com | Why are tough-to-treat UTIs more likely to recur?
If your urinary tract infection isn’t responding to antibiotics, you could be headed for a fast relapse, researchers say.
In a new study of 151 adults with antibiotic-resistant UTIs, investigators found that these patients were more likely to have a relapse within a week and were more likely to be prescribed an incorrect antibiotic than a comparison group of patients with non-resistant UTIs.
Relapses are common
“This study adds to the evidence that drug-resistant bacteria are an increasing issue, even in the community and even in patients who have something seemingly uncomplicated, like a urinary tract infection,” said study lead author Dr Judith Anesi. She’s a clinical epidemiologist and infectious disease fellow at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia.
The study was published recently in the journal Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology.
“These drug-resistant infections are difficult to treat, and our study shows that relapses are common. This is an alarming finding, and interventions to curb antibiotic resistance are urgently needed,” Anesi said in a journal news release.
If patients have antibiotic-resistant UTIs, they should be followed closely for a longer time, and patients at risk for resistant bacteria should have their urine collected and tested, the study authors suggested.

News24.com | ‘Things are moving’: SANDF troops start arriving in Cape Town
“Things are moving,” said the SA National Defence Force as troops from around the country arrived in Cape Town on Friday to support a planned police operation to rid crime-ridden suburbs of gangs and criminals.
Keeping operational information close to his chest, SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said all the legal paperwork from their side had been processed so that the support Police Minister Bheki Cele announced on Thursday would be in line with the Constitution.
Buses and other vehicles carrying troops and trucks loaded with equipment rolled into the Fort iKapa Military Base in Goodwood on Friday afternoon, according to a video by Netwerk24.
eNCA reported a Hercules C130 military aircraft landing early in the evening.
Dlamini explained that operations had to be signed off first.
The officials include the Minister of Defence Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, the Chief of Defence General Solly Shoke and the Commander in Chief, President Cyril Ramaphosa, among others.
EXPLAINED: The army will be deployed in Cape Town. Here are the pros and cons
The 10 precincts identified by Cele for support are:
– Bishop Lavis;
– Mitchells Plain;
– Delft;
– Elsies River;
– Nyanga;
– Khayelitsha;
– Mfuleni;
– Philippi;
– Kraaifontein;
– Manenberg
Combined, the 10 areas contribute to 42% of attempted murders in the province.Police officers also conducted early morning raids in Philippi at 02:00 on Friday.
Dlamini said the SANDF does not deploy without clear legal instruments in place known as “deployment papers”.
“So that at least the nation is aware that it [the support] is legally authorised.
“From our side, we have processed everything,” said Dlamini.
All residents are waiting for now, is to see boots on the ground.
One was Ebrahiem Adams, 80, who said he was counting down the hours until SANDF soldiers take the streets of Hanover Park.”I can’t wait for them to get here. I have lived here for 50 years and I have had enough. Enough of this shooting and killing,” the pensioner said.
Dlamini told SABC News that they will cover their own costs for now, but hope to be reimbursed.
“From now on the [SANDF] will be entering into [Memoranda of Understanding] with various departments so that we get that that we have used, reimbursed back to us,” he said.
