Nearly everyone has heard of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most famous soccer players in the world. He holds the record for the most goals scored in the UEFA Champions League, making many people wonder what kind of habits and routines it takes to be the best. Successful athletes have to be dedicated and consistent with their exercise regimen, nutrition, rest, and stress management.

Ronaldo takes things a step further by using Bioniq’s personalized supplements. This London-based company has you take a quiz and submit blood test data to let you know what supplements you actually need to be taking. Many people don’t know exactly what their body needs an extra boost of, but this has been one of Ronaldo’s secrets for the past three years to achieve optimal health both externally and internally.

Boniq utilizes advanced AI analyses to generate pharmaceutical-grade formulas that feature up to 120 nutrients. Based on your specific needs (and Ronaldo’s!), they then create a prebiotic granule that is similar to chewed-up food, cueing your body to digest it and ensuring maximum nutrient absorption. This blend allows you to skip taking ten different capsules every morning and hoping that your body will actually break down the shells in a timely manner.

How big is Ronaldo’s commitment to Bioniq? In addition to being a member and his personal endorsement, he’s recently made a significant investment into the company, bringing its total valuation to $82 million.

“Backing Bioniq goes beyond just an investment opportunity for me—it’s about aligning with a shared vision for health, performance, and longevity,” said Ronaldo. “I have been using their products myself for almost three years. With their personalized health approach, I believe Bioniq has the potential to transform how we care for our bodies and help people reach and maintain their peak performance for longer.”

They say put your money where your mouth is and, well, Ronaldo did. If this upgraded supplementation process sounds intriguing to you, head over to Boniq’s website and take the quiz.

Fitness gurus recommend growing those glutes with the hip thrust — here’s why

Research shows the hip thrust is more effective at training the glutes for sprinting compared to the split squat or back squat.

The hip thrust lights up your glutes and hamstrings to strengthen and sculpt these major muscles. It’s a weighted variation of the glute bridge where your back is elevated up off the floor. Fitness gurus recommend the weighted hip thrust to primarily work your gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and hamstrings while also engaging your quads, core, and adductors.
How to do the hip thrust

It’s best to start by mastering the basic bridge before attempting the weighted hip thrust. Always start with lighter weights and work your way up as you develop strength over time.

Here’s why fitness buffs recommend the Cooper test to check aerobic fitness

Test your cardiovascular endurance with the 12-minute Cooper test.

Over the years, people have invented all sorts of methods and ways to test aerobic fitness, from seeing who can perform the most push-ups to a treadmill test with a medical professional who provides data on your blood pressure, heart rate, and more. One of the increasingly popular methods fitness buffs recommend is the Cooper test. This short test measures the distance you can cover in a specific time to assess your cardiovascular endurance.
What is cardiovascular endurance?

Cardiovascular endurance is your body’s ability to continue physical activity for prolonged periods without getting fatigued. Your cardiovascular endurance is a measure of the ability of your heart, blood vessels, and lungs to deliver oxygen to your muscles while you’re exercising. You can improve it by engaging in regular aerobic exercise like running, dancing, or cycling.

This is my favorite electrolyte powder — here’s why

The perfect everyday water enhancer

Ultima Replenisher

For as long as I can remember, I've hated the taste of plain water. I remember specific childhood memories where I was asked, "How can you hate water when it doesn't taste like anything?" I can't recall how I responded to these fair but hard-to-answer questions. I know drinking enough water has been a personal struggle for as long as I can remember. I can quickly drink several cups of tea or coffee daily, but plain water never seemed to cut it.

I first discovered the Ultima Replenisher electrolyte powder in 2017, transforming my water intake. Over the past eight years, I've tried dozens of electrolyte brands but always return to Ultima when it's time to order more electrolyte powder. Here's why I love this brand for everyday drinking electrolytes (and why it's different than the hundreds of other brands on the market).
