Our Commitment to Anti-Racism

To end racism, we must fight actively against it.

6/10/2020 Our Commitment to Anti-Racism   To end racism, we must fight actively against it. Leadership has to come from every source of power and today, especially from businesses. Our website has not done our part editorially or organizationally. We publish the work of so many writers, photographers, and illustrators, but few are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). There are no Black editors on our staff. This is unacceptable. Addressing these deficiencies is the foundation of our commitment.   Food, at its heart, is a celebration of culture and history. As a food website, we believe that we can make a lasting difference by focusing on the people we work with, who we pay, and what we choose to publish.   Here is our commitment:   • We will actively recruit and promote Black and POC writers, food professionals, and recipe developers to create and test recipes, report stories, create visuals, and edit articles. By September 30th, we pledge that at least 15% of our new content will be created by BIPOC, excluding existing members of our editorial team.   • We will amplify and normalize the work of Black members of the food community on our social media platforms. By September 30th, at least 20% of our Instagram stories will feature BIPOC food professionals.   • We will consciously work to reduce unconscious bias within our content. By November 30th, we pledge to review content that accounts for 50% of our traffic to make sure it appropriately acknowledges and celebrates the cultural origins of the recipes.   • We will post about our work each quarter to update you on our progress. We hope and plan to get a lot right, but we know we will get some things wrong. We expect these goals to evolve and expand. We look forward to hearing from our readers and listeners about how we can continue to improve.   Thank you for your readership and the opportunity to make our site even better. This is the beginning.   Sincerely, Eric, Heather, Patty, Jess, Todd, Victoria, Brooke, Kate, Kristin Editors, The Spruce Eats Did somebody forward you this email?

Wouldn't it be great to be able to lift and carry luggage, groceries, and packages with more ease?

Day 6: A Super Quick and Effective Workout to Tone Your Arms and Shoulders It's day 6 of the Verywell Fit 7-Day No Equipment Challenge, and today we'll focus on strengthening your arms and shoulders. These seven exercises will not only help you to look great, but will help you feel great when you're carrying groceries, traveling with luggage, lifting boxes, and other everyday activities that require strong arms and shoulders.   Let's get started!   Tara's Tip  “Upper body strength is crucial for your full body, but also makes you feel more confident in tank tops.” — Tara Laferrara, CPT, of the Verywell Fit Review Board     Warm-Up: Shoulder Rolls     Start today's workout with slow, easy shoulder rolls. Shrug your shoulders up to your ears and then slowly roll them back. Make big circles for about 30 seconds and then do the circles in the other direction for 30 seconds. Repeat as many times as you like. LEARN MORE     Classic Push-Ups     Push-ups are a classic exercise to build upper-body strength. Done properly, it's a compound exercise that uses muscles in the chest, shoulders, triceps, back, abs, and even the legs.   To target your arms and shoulders (rather than your chest), place your hands on the floor directly below your shoulders. You can modify this exercise by dropping your knees to the floor if you need to.   Aim to do 10 reps. Then take a short rest, and do 1 more set. LEARN MORE     Triceps Dips     The triceps dip is a great bodyweight exercise that builds arm and shoulder strength. This simple exercise can be done almost anywhere, and has many variations to match your fitness level. One variation is doing this exercise with both your feet and hands on the ground—no chair/equipment needed.   Aim to do 10 reps. Then take a short rest, and do 1 more set. LEARN MORE     The Plank     The plank is an excellent equipment-free exercise that's not only great for your core, but also works your shoulders.   Get into your plank position and hold it for 30 seconds.   For an extra challenge: Work your way up to holding the plank for one minute as you become more advanced. LEARN MORE     Downward Dog     Downward dog is another equipment-free total body move that includes benefits for your arms and shoulders.   Hold this pose for 30 seconds, and work your way up to holding it for one minute. LEARN MORE     Pilates Push-Ups     The Pilates push-up combines several of the prior moves into a sequence that strengthens your arms and shoulders—in addition to your abs, legs, and whole body. The Pilates push-up helps you develop strong muscles to improve your everyday quality of life.   Start by doing 5 reps, and work your way up to doing 10 reps in a row.   Advanced: Take a short rest and add another set of 10 reps. LEARN MORE     Cool Down: Anterior Shoulder Stretch     This behind-your-back shoulder stretch will stretch the front of your shoulder and your chest (the anterior deltoid and the pectoralis minor muscles).   Hold this stretch for 20 seconds, and repeat as desired. LEARN MORE     CONGRATULATIONS! You've completed day 6 of the Verywell Fit 7-Day Challenge. We'll see you again tomorrow! Preview: Tomorrow we'll cool down and stretch it out with some great yoga poses.   READ THESE NEXT Why Nutrition Is an Important Part of Fitness READ NOW  › Popular Foods Fitness Pros Eat READ NOW  › 10 Tips to Help You Sleep Better READ NOW  › The Importance of Rest and Recovery After Your Exercise READ NOW  › You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the Fit Life newsletter.
