**Exploring Life in London: My Journey After Nine Months** *Authored by Harsh Gupta, MSc. Advanced Materials Science and Engineering* Recently, I reached the nine-month milestone of my life in London. Although nine months might not appear as a lengthy duration, it’s been sufficient for me to gather several important insights about existence in this dynamic…

**Overview of Lower Body Strength Circuits Class** This 45-minute class focuses on lower body strength circuits, aimed to push your muscles using just one heavy weight (either a kettlebell or dumbbell) along with an optional resistance band loop. The session features a guided warm-up and cool-down, and no jumping is incorporated, making it simple to…

### Hip Mobility + Glutes Class I have another mobility session lined up for you! If you happened to miss the previous one focused on shoulders, you can find it [HERE](https://pumpsandiron.com/2021/01/08/shoulder-mobility-22-min-class/). Today, we’re turning our attention to hip mobility, prioritizing the strengthening of the glutes as we progress through the exercises. If you appreciate this…
