The most common way to calculate maximum heart rate (or MaxHR) is simply to subtract your age from 220. However, this is an inaccurate method. A more accurate method is determined by the following formula: 211 – (.64 x Age). Multiply your MaxHR by 0.85 - this is your maximum target rate. Multiply your MaxHR by 0.50 - this is your minimum target rate. Exercise within your target heart rate and stay there for 20 minutes or more. Working out at 60–70 percent of your MaxHR is best for weight management and a fit appearance; 70–80 percent puts you in the heart-healthy aerobic zone; and 80–100 percent gives you the competitive edge for peak performance. [2015] - Vonda Wright

The value of a bond generally moves in the opposite direction of the change in interest rates. For example, if you're holding a bond issued at 5 percent and rates on similar bonds increase to 7 percent, your 5 percent bond will decrease in value. (Why would anyone want to buy your bond at the price you paid if it yields just 5 percent and 7 percent can be obtained elsewhere?) [2019] - Eric Tyson

Some women like to make extremely sexual comments after meeting a man. It is a shit test. If the guy becomes uncomfortable, he fails; however, if he takes the bait and gets excited or says something sexual in response, he also fails. The solution: Just look her in the eye, nod approvingly, and, with a slight smile creeping across your face, say, "Respect," in a smart-ass tone. [2005] - Neil Strauss

Wellbeing is about the combination of our love for what we do each day, the quality of our relationships, the security of our finances, the vibrancy of our physical health, and the pride we take in what we have contributed to our communities. Most importantly, it's about how these five elements interact. [2010] - Tom Rath

I eat anything I want for dinner and put off eating the next day for as long as I can. That may mean having a late lunch or not eating until dinner, but I make sure I stay hydrated with water and noncaloric drinks. If I need a snack, I eat several almonds or olives. I often fast on consecutive days, eating only in the evening, and I’ve been surprised by how easy it is and how well I feel. I have also been monitoring my glucose levels with FreeStyle Libre 14 day system. [2020] - Nir Barzilai
