    Being a mom is a full-time job, and it's easy for your own health and fitness to take a back seat when you're juggling the needs of your family, work, and household responsibilities. However, it’s crucial to make time for yourself and your well-being. Fitness for busy moms doesn’t have to be a huge time commitment or require hours at the gym. It’s about finding small, efficient ways to stay active that fit into your hectic lifestyle. 
    The first step to fitting fitness into your life is understanding the importance of regular exercise. Physical activity is essential for maintaining energy levels, boosting mood, and improving overall health. It helps with everything from weight management to reducing the risk of chronic diseases. But more than just the physical benefits, exercise is also a mental escape. It offers you a chance to take care of yourself and focus on something other than the never-ending to-do list. 
    Overcoming time constraints is often one of the biggest challenges for busy moms. Between school runs, meal prep, work, and household chores, it can feel impossible to carve out time for exercise. However, the key is not to wait for the "perfect" time. There will never be a time when everything is perfectly aligned, and that’s okay. Fitness doesn’t require hours of uninterrupted time—it can be done in short bursts throughout the day. In fact, many of the most effective workouts are short, high-intensity sessions that get results in less time.

    Passion Plays - How Religion...

    Randall Balmer was a late convert to sports talk radio, but he quickly became addicted, just like millions of other devoted American sports fans. As a historian of religion, the more he listened, Balmer couldn’t help but wonder how the fervor he heard related to religious practice. Houses of worship once railed against Sabbath-busting sports events, but today most willingly accommodate Super Bowl Sunday. On the other hand, basketball’s inventor, James Naismith, was an ardent follower of Muscular Christianity and believed the game would help develop religious character. But today those religious roots are largely forgotten. 
     
    Here one of our most insightful writers on American religion trains his focus on that other great passion—team sports—to reveal their surprising connections. From baseball to basketball and football to ice hockey, Balmer explores the origins and histories of big-time sports from the late nineteenth century to the present, with entertaining anecdotes and fresh insights into their ties to religious life. Referring to Notre Dame football, the Catholic Sun called its fandom “a kind of sacramental.” Legions of sports fans reading Passion Plays will recognize exactly what that means.

    60 Seconds that Shaped the Blues
    Reflecting on the Blues' rich history, this official publication focuses on 60 key moments that have helped shape the wonderful club that is Chelsea FC.
    A collection of memorable games, goals, players and managers, 60 Seconds that Shaped the Blues charts the ups and downs of the club, and will, hopefully, bring some fond memories and emotions flooding back.
    
    Written by G2 founder and owner Jules Gammond, this new official Chelsea FC hardback 60 Seconds That Shaped The Blues is available as an eBook from November priced at £4.99.
    The fully illustrated publication highlights 60 key moments that have shaped the history of the club from the day that it was founded in the Rising Sun Public House in 1905 to the victory over Manchester City in this year's Champions League Final.
    Many of the magical moments are from the last couple of decades under the ownership of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich during which time the Blues have won two Champions Leagues, five Premierships, five FA Cups, three League Cups and two Europa Leagues.
    Not that they were entirely unsuccessful before, as the Stamford Bridge trophy cabinet already included a first league title, three more FA Cups and two Cup Winners' Cups.
    Chelsea FC Women have been no less prolific, winning five league titles, two FA Cups and two League Cups. But this book is not exclusively about triumphs, it recalls those important milestones in Chelsea Football Club's life story, the year it was founded, the chairmen and managers who made an indelible mark over the years, the record scores and classic games, the goal scorers and legends, that have each contributed to the rich tapestry that is Chelsea FC.
    Comments Gammond: " Having been a supporter for more than 50 years, I have been privileged to have witnessed many of the highs and lows first hand, including that soggy night in Moscow when, but for a slip by captain John Terry in the penalty shoot-out, we would have won three Champions League trophies by now. And while our fans sing about being 'carefree' it is because we care so deeply that this collection of magical moments will bring a tear to the eye and lump to the throat of all true Blues 'wherever you may be'."
