| Today's workout is a 10-minute upper body resistance band routine. In the routine, you'll see overhead presses, which target the shoulders, while also working the lower body and core. To perform: - Hold one handle in each hand. Step one foot forward, standing on top of the band, and the other foot back behind you into a lunge.
- Switch your grip, grabbing the handles from underneath so that your palms are facing forward, away from you.
- Hold the handles at shoulder height. Press the band up over your head, extending both arms fully.
- Release back down to the starting position. Repeat.

5 foods you should never take to the beach, according to an ER doctor |
No beach day is complete without a spread — and all that swimming and playing in the sand can really work up an appetite. However, not all snacks are considered beach-safe, according to experts. The hot summer temperatures and sunshine can easily spoil certain foods, making them a risky or even unsafe option to eat. When food sits out at unsafe temperatures for too long, disease-causing bacteria can grow to dangerous levels, per the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These include pathogens like salmonella, E. coli, campylobacter, clostridium perfringens and staphylococcus aureus — which can cause diarrhea and vomiting. Bacteria multiply most rapidly in "the danger zone," or between 40 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, says Dr. John Torres, NBC News senior medical correspondent. Perishable foods should never sit out of refrigeration for more than two hours — but if the surrounding temperature is higher than 90 degrees, food should be left out for no longer than one hour. Avoid bringing these 5 foods to the beach. |
