19 December 2016 - Working Out Like an Animal

What if I told you that next year you'll be pouncing like a tiger, acting like a bear, and crawling like a baby as a regular part of your fitness routine.  Bodyweight exercises and yoga moves inspired by natural movements are forecast to be a big hit in 2017, as fitness practitioners around the world learn how to act out their animal instincts and embrace their inner-toddler.

High-speed rail continues to evolve across the world, with new developments in China and America adding to existing networks in Europe and East Asia. Originally introduced in Japan as the 'bullet train' in the 1960s, high-speed rail systems offer significant advantages over air travel and traditional rail infrastructure. While fast rail technology still seems a long way off in Australia and New Zealand, the Hyperloop One system and other new developments may see this dream become a reality sooner rather than later.
