May Monthly Challenge: 10k Kettlebell Swings
If you’re looking to lose weight and improve your posture, then this month’s challenge is perfect for you. The challenge? Complete 10,000 kettlebell swings before the end of the month. Simple enough, right?
Trust me though, by consistently completing 500 swings a day, you’ll be on your way to shedding unwanted pounds and improving your overall posture. Plus, kettlebell swings are a full-body workout that work multiple muscle groups at once, making this a highly effective exercise choice. I was shocked at the results I saw when completing this challenge a few years ago. It really is incredibly simple and incredibly effective. So, grab your kettlebell and get swinging.

What to Watch: White House Plumbers on HBO Max
If you’re looking for a good laugh and a dose of history, then White House Plumbers on HBO is a must-watch. Premiered last week, this hilarious show stars Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux as E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, and chronicles the real-life events of Watergate and the Nixon administration. From bumbling break-ins to secret tapes, you won’t believe some of the stuff that actually happened. The first episode had me cracking up the entire time and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the story gets told. I’ve always known the basics of the Watergate scandal and what led to Nixon’s downfall, but had no idea all the extracurricular stuff they were up to as well. Quite the characters.
Style Upgrade: Wear More Sunscreen
As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, it’s essential to keep your skin protected from the sun’s harmful rays. It’s time to upgrade your style and add a new summer essential to your wardrobe: sunscreen. Not only does it protect your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun, but it also prevents premature aging that can be caused by sun damage. Don’t let your skin pay the price for your summer adventures. A healthy skin not only looks great, but it ensures that you can fully enjoy all that summer has to offer. So before you hit the beach or go on that summer hike, don’t forget to slather on some SPF. Your future self will thank you for it.
