Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One great way to increase your energy and productivity throughout the week is with small breaks during the workday; combining a few of those breaks with simple anywhere exercises can also jumpstart your fitness. This week's focus is on abdominals.
SparkPeople.com, an online healthy living community, and ShapeFit, a health and fitness site for weightloss, has two great videos that you can follow at home and from your cubicle (if large enough to lay out a yoga mat).
Also, try sneaking away to a park for the quick workout and load up on some vitamin D at the same time. Here are the workout videos and printable versions explained with instructional images:
