SWEAT SMART

WHICH WORKOUT WILL HELP YOU MEET YOUR GOALS?

WAX ON, WAX OFF The words “balance” and “workout” are generally associated with yoga, and while it’s true that yogis are champions of standing on one foot, so are martial artists. According to an article published by the martial arts academy chain Evolve MMA, “Martial arts works out the entire body, from the base, to the upper torso, to the all-important core ... Practicing martial arts will improve your balance, which then, of course, improves the quality of your life.” By incorporating martial arts and yoga into your workout regimen, you’ll be able to perform impressive party tricks and stay on your feet if you lose your balance. DO YOU EVEN LIFT, BRO? For building muscle and increasing your strength, nothing beats weightlifting, whether you’re using dumbbells at home or machines at the gym. Lifting weights also helps burn fat. Speaking with SELF, Rilinger called the practice “the mother of all weight loss techniques, the highest in the workout food chain, the top of the totem pole.” Of course, the most important thing to consider when choosing a workout is whether you enjoy it enough to squeeze it into your schedule. If you resent every drop of sweat, it will undoubtedly take you longer to reach your goal than if you look forward to the challenge.

With hot yoga, barre, Pilates, weightlifting, kickboxing, and more, personal fitness companies offer every workout you need to stay in shape. But sometimes, having dozens of choices can be more anxiety-inducing than having just a few. When it comes to finding the right workout to help you reach your goal, whether it’s weight loss, better balance, or more muscle, it’s best to seek advice from the experts.

DROP IT LIKE A POUND When it comes to weight loss, full-body workouts, like swimming, running, and cycling, are the most effective. “The more muscles you have to incorporate, the more calories you’re going to burn because those muscles all require energy in order to work,”Nike Master Trainer Holly Rilinger told SELF magazine. Regardless of the activity you choose, Rilinger recommends interval training as the best method. By combining bursts of intense effort with periods of active rest, you can keep your heart rate jumping and those calories burning.

Stop and Frisk

If the police do initiate a lawful stop, they may conduct a frisk, but they can only seize an item if, based on their training, they believe the suspect is armed and dangerous. However, reasonable suspicion of drug possession alone does not provide adequate grounds for the officer’s belief that the suspect possessed drugs. Keep in mind that an officer is permitted to seize an item if the frisk reveals by touch that it could either be a weapon or contraband. This type of scenario requires that the Commonwealth elicit very specific testimony from the police offer with regards to the stop, search, and arrest.

A motion to suppress evidence is often a criminal defense lawyer’s strongest tool. It’s based on Article I, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania Constitution and the Fourth and 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Pennsylvania courts are very clear that a police officer may stop an individual based on an observation of a single alleged drug transaction, even if the officer can’t identify the actual item in question. Police may initiate the stop provided the Commonwealth establish a nexus among the officer’s training, experience, and actual observation.
