No Equipment Necessary: Mountain Climbers
There are lots of exercises you can do that really work your body without having to use a machine, weights or accessories. One of my favorites is the Mountain Climber, because it's a great exercise for the lower body muscles, the core, and it's also a great form of cardio.
Here's how to perform it:
- Start in a traditional push-up starting position — shoulders over hands and weight on just your toes.
Beach Body Beach Workout
So you've been hitting the gym a lot to get into that bikini and now that you've arrived, try and keep it that way with this beach body beach workout:
- Warm-Up: Tread water for 5 minutes.
- Cardio: Jog in the sand for at least 30 minutes. For an added challenge, run in ankle high water.
- Walking Lunges: Walking lunges are a great variation to regular lunges. Plus doing them in the sand adds a whole new variation.

Mt. Everest Cleans Up a Dirty Little Secret
You'd think that a holy spot 30,000 feet in the air would be mess-free — but sadly garbage isn't afraid of heights. Veteran Mt. Everest expedition leader Dawa Steven Sherpa last year was dismayed (and grossed out) to spot human waste on the top of what is considered a holy shrine.

Front Page: Assault at Chinese Border, Rescue on K2, Pakistan Army Kills 94 Militants
- Assault at Chinese Border: An attack on a border post has left 16 policemen dead in China. The border with the Muslim region of Xinjiang (near Tajikistan) was breached by two attackers who drove up in a garbage truck, threw two grenades, and then moved in to attack with knives. The area is home to Uighur separatists, who human rights groups say are oppressed by Beijing.
- Rescue on K2: Pakistani helicopters have rescued two members of a K2 climbing group that lost 11 members over the weekend after an avalanche swept away their fixed rope, leaving the climbers to freeze to death.
