Welcome to Summer 2021; it’s only just begun, and yet the world of sports and fitness is full of interesting news. For one, Rudy Winkler set a national record for the hammer throw and qualified for the Tokyo Olympics when he chucked one 82.71 meters (a little over 271 feet).
Meanwhile, cybersecurity experts say that Peloton bikes in public spaces like gyms and hotels are vulnerable to hackers controlling their microphones and cameras. On a more positive note, studies show you can get through the pain of training in the summer heat simply by reframing how you think about it.
And, of course, there’s lots of new fitness gear to kick off the season with too.
