1.Dumbbell chest press
The dumbbell chest press strengthens your chest, shoulder, and arm muscles. For a band chest press, you need 2 dumbbells and a bench. The following steps will show you how to do an effective bench press. Lie on a flat bench with your feet firmly on the floor.
Move your shoulders down and back.
Hold 2 dumbbells.
Inhale and lower the dumbbells slowly to touch your chest.
Exhale and push your arms upward.
Repeat 15 times and perform 2 to 3 sets.
2. Burpees
Burpees are good for your glutes, hamstrings, arms, and shoulder muscles. They also help give you those perfect abs and are helpful for preventing back injuries and improving overall body stability. Here’s how to do burpees: Start with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Squat down and drop your hands to the floor.
Shift your weight toward your upper body and jump out, making a plank.
Then jump right back to where your feet started.
Stand up with your arms over your head and jump.
Perform these steps as many times as you can.
3. Leg extensions
Leg extensions work on the quadriceps that consist of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis muscles. They also strengthen the knees. To do a leg extension exercise, you’ll need a leg extension machine. Here’s how to do a leg extension: Let the pad of the leg extension machine sit on top of your lower legs at the ankles. Make sure your feet are pointing forward and your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
Select a weight, preferably a moderate one, so you can do your sets effectively. Then place your hands on the bar.
Point your toes inward to place more emphasis on the vastus lateralis, which builds more outer-quad sweep or point your toes outward to place more emphasis on the vastus medialis (the teardrop muscle).
Exhale and stretch your legs until they’re fully extended. While doing this, your body should be in a resting position.
Inhale, and lower the weight back, returning to your starting position.
Repeat this 6 times for 4 sets when you place your toes inward and another 6 times for 4 sets when you place your toes outward.
4. Walking lunge
A walking lunge works on the quadriceps, glutes and hamstring muscles. Lunges increase your heart rate in a healthy manner. Here’s how to do a walking lunge: Thrust your right leg in a forward position, as if you were about to kneel.
Don’t return to a standing position — thrust your left leg like your right leg, and make sure your right leg is stabilizing you.
Walk as you thrust your legs forward alternatively for 10 to 12 reps on each leg.
5. Weighted calf raises
Calf raises help tone your superficial and deep calf muscles and combat age-related muscle loss. Here’s how to do a weighted calf raise: Stand upright with your feet a bit wide apart, holding your weights at your sides. Keep your arms extended and your shoulders relaxed.
Shift your weight onto the balls of your feet.
Press your weight down, push your body upward, and raise your heels off of the ground.
Hold it for a short moment at the top.
Then bring your heels back down to the ground slowly.
Don’t lock your knees. They should be in an athletic position and slightly bent.
Perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions with a weight in each hand.
6. Hanging leg raises
Hanging leg raises work on your lower abs, lats, and forearm muscles. Hang from a pull-up bar with your hands a little wider than your shoulders.
Grip the bar tightly as you slightly bend your elbows, then engage your core so as to straighten your lower back.
Engage your quadriceps and raise your legs just a little bit higher than 90 degrees.
Hold onto this position for a few seconds before lowering your legs slowly.
Do 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.
7. Chair dips
Chair dips or tricep dips are done to work on the tricep, pectoralis major, trapezius, and the serratus anterior muscles. Here’s how to do a chair dip: Sit on a bench with your arms by your side, your feet on the floor, and your hips apart.
Place your palms down beside your hips as your fingers should grip the front of the chair seat.
Move your torso away from the chair with your arms extended. Your buttocks should be right above the floor and your knees should be slightly bent, your heels touching the floor.
Breathe in as you lower your body slowly, hinging your elbows until they form a 90-degree angle.
Breathe out, then push up to your starting position as you fully extend your arms.
Complete the exercise 10 to 15 times for 2 sets.
8. Dumbbell single-arm row
This exercise builds your back and upper arm muscles, and all you need is a dumbbell and a bench. Here’s how to do a dumbbell single-arm row: Place your left knee on the end of the bench, then place your left hand on the bench, so you can be balanced.
Your back should be parallel to the ground. Grab a dumbbell with your right palm facing the bench.
Bring the dumbbell up to your chest. Stiffen your back and shoulder muscles, then slowly return your arm to the starting position.
Finish one set, rest for a minute, and then switch to your other arm. Do another set with your right knee and right hand on the bench.

Do you stick your feet out during sleep ?
Does it work when you ’ re struggling to fall asleep ?

We’ve all experienced the all-consuming struggle to fall asleep, and strangely enough, keeping our foot uncovered is what often helps do the trick. The mystery behind what makes us do this lies in the fact that the ideal temperature for a good night’s sleep is 65°F and our feet are a gateway into that perfect environment.
We at Bright Side got to the bottom of this odd sleeping habit.
It helps regulate our body’s temperature.
Our feet are actually the perfect cooling mechanisms. According to a sleep expert, they contain a link between arteries and veins unlike any other part of our body, “which dilate in warm temperatures, allowing more blood to reach the surface of the skin in order to cool it down.”
In addition, feet are hairless, so they stay cool throughout the night. As a result, our body temperature balances itself out and we can sleep comfortably.
Sticking your foot out helps you to fall asleep faster.
In order to sleep, our body temperature needs to drop by 1 to 2 degrees. That’s why we struggle with staying awake when it’s too warm — our bodies fight against overheating. That’s why it’s crucial to keep ourselves cool at night, and sticking a foot out of your blanket can be enough. The sooner you allow your body to cool down, the sooner you can drift off to dreamland.
It’s the most comfortable position if you need to sleep under a blanket.
There are several different reasons why most of us can’t fall asleep without a blanket. But the common problem we all experience is that it gets too hot, so we find ourselves in a catch-22 situation. Uncovering our feet is the perfect solution to this dilemma and helps us cozy up under a blanket while keeping our bodies cool throughout the night.

Now pause for 10-20 seconds to give yourself time to relax and continue with the next group (thighs, hips and buttocks, stomach, back, chest, face, around the mouth and the back of the neck, eyes and the bridge of the nose, forehead, shoulders, arms, and hands).
When you release the tension, it is good to focus on the changes you feel at that moment. Visualization has a greater effect on the stress relief process.
Don’t rush, slowly progress all the way up the body and continue to contract and relax the muscles, like you did with the first muscle group.
2. Alternate nostril breathing
This type of breathing should be done before a yoga or meditation practice. However, it can be done even if you don’t plan to meditate or do yoga. It has a great effect on your stress levels, it will still and quiet your mind, it’ll help with anxiety, it can relax your mind and body, and it even promotes overall health benefits.
Here’s how to do it: Sit in a comfortable position. Place your left hand on your left knee.
Prepare your right hand and exhale completely. Now, close your right nostril with your right thumb, the ring and the pinky fingers should be stretched out, while the others are tucked in.
Now inhale with your left nostril, then close it with your ring finger. Open the right nostril and exhale.
One session is 3 breaths, but you should finish with an exhale from your left nostril.
Do this for 5 minutes and always finish with a left nostril exhale.
3. Use your senses
While this technique doesn’t require any specific routine, it can help with stress like any other exercise from this list. It is special because, this time, you will need to rely on your senses. Your senses are your best pals and you can use them to lower your stress levels. In a moment of stress, if you can’t focus on your positive moments, put up reminders where you can easily see them, change the background on your phone, hang up some pictures on the walls or on the fridge, etc.
Here is what you can do with your senses. Try them out to see which sense works best for you: Sight: look at a photo with your friends and/or family, one where you had a good time or enjoy the sight of nature, look at a flower, or even visualize.
Smell: try out different essential oils and light up some candles with your favorite scent. Put on your favorite perfume and/or try going outside to breathe in some fresh air.
Touch: hold a stuffed animal from a special moment in your life, pet a cat or a dog, hug, cover yourself with a soft blanket, and even wear clothes that feel comforting.
Taste: it is time to cook up your favorite dish and enjoy it, eat some fruit, or have something refreshing to drink.
Sound: turn on your favorite song, sing, or even dance. Turn on nature sounds, waves, birds singing, and wind that rustles the trees.
4. Count your breath
Counting your breath is a stress relief exercise that will also help with managing your food cravings, lowering your anxiety, controlling your anger, and helping you get a good night’s sleep. It is a simple practice that you can do anywhere, at any time and here is how to do it:
Focus on your breathing pattern.
First, empty the lungs.
Breath in slowly and quietly for 4 seconds.
Now hold the breath for 7 seconds.
Exhale for 8 seconds. Do this forcefully by pursing the lips and making a whoosh" sound.
Repeat 4 times.
5. Abdominal breathing
This type of breathing is also known as diaphragmatic breathing. Even if you don’t notice it, the diaphragm plays a vital role in your breathing. When you learn how to do this you will be able to inhale more air and it will feel relaxing. Do this a few times a day for 5-10 minutes, especially when you feel stressed:
Chose which position is more comfortable. Lay down with your knees bent, sit down with crossed legs, or sit on a chair with your knees bent and all other parts of your body relaxed.
Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly, below the rib cage.
Slowly breath in with your nose and let the air travel down to your belly. The hand on the chest should remain still while the hand on your belly should rise.
Tighten the abdominal muscles and exhale while the belly goes inward, to its initial position. Exhale with pursed lips.
6. Palm relaxation
In most cases, this technique will give you instant relief, while other times it will take a few minutes. This will relax your mind and eyes from any light stimulation. It is simple to do, but make sure you follow the steps correctly:
First of all warm up your hands by rubbing them against each other or run warm/hot water over them.
Choose the position that is most relaxing for you.
Position your hands on top of your eyes so that your fingertips overlap over your nose.
Keep your eyes open, while you position your hands to make sure everything is covered well and no light comes in. If you see light, correct your position.
Now, once everything is checked, close your eyes and start breathing.
Exhale, inhale... focus on the breathing, the warmth of your hands, and not on your eyes.
7. Eye focusing technique
While this is an eye yoga exercise that you might find relaxing and it can also help with focusing your thoughts. With just a few simple steps, you might get instant relief.
Put your arm up straight in front of you.
Pull up your thumb while the other fingers are tucked in a fist.
First, focus on your thumbnail and then focus on the tip of your nose.
You can add a third point too.
Do this for 5 minutes.
You can also do it before resting with the palm exercise.

The creators of today ’ s animated films and TV shows have a difficult task to fulfill .

The creators of today’s animated films and TV shows have a difficult task to fulfill. Cartoons must display an amusing story that will be interesting not only to kids but adults as well. That’s why many animated movies have jokes and moments in them that kids aren’t able to understand due to their age.
We at Bright Side have looked through famous cartoons and invite you to recall some of their best jokes with us. We have to admit that some of these moments shocked us a bit.
Frozen II
This cartoon contains a great joke for adults. When Kristoff appears in front of Anna all dressed up, warning her that he put it on only for an hour, the girl has a curious reaction to it. She gives a kiss to her beloved, rubs his hair, and says, “I prefer you in leather anyway.” These words embarrass Kristoff and he grins foolishly.
Zootopia
When Judy and Nick visit the nudist club, the poor rabbit doesn’t know where to hide her eyes as she feels extremely embarrassed. Of course, that’s the very reaction the sly fox was hoping to see.
Toy Story
In the first part of the movie, Woody, Andy’s favorite toy, recommends his friends not to worry about Andy’s birthday and his new gifts. But not all the toys share Woody’s calm demeanor. Mr. Potato Head openly demonstrates what he thinks about Woody’s opinion. When Slinky sticks up for Woody, Mr. Potato Head removes his lips and moves it behind himself, visually calling Slinky a “butt kisser.”
The first part of the story turned out to be full of jokes for adults. At the beginning of the movie, Bo Peep thanks Woody for rescuing her sheep. Then she says a curious phrase: “What do you say I get someone else to watch the sheep tonight?” In response to this, the sheriff laughs stupidly and says only one thing: “Oh, yes.”
Tarzan
When Jane draws Tarzan, she explains to her father what things she found to be unusual in this strange man and says, “And his eyes were intense and focused and...I’ve never seen such eyes.” Professor Porter notices his daughter’s feelings and jokes, “Should I leave you and the blackboard alone for a moment?”
Hotel Transylvania
When Wayne the Werewolf pulls off the invisible man’s swimming trunks, the humiliated monster starts to justify things and says, “I was just in the pool. The water is cold. Don’t judge me!”
Shrek 2
When Prince Charming finally reaches the tower where Fiona has been imprisoned, he finds the Wolf there instead of the princess. The character from the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, appears to be entertaining himself by reading an interesting magazine, Pork Illustrated, a play on Sports Illustrated.
SpongeBob SquarePants
In one of the episodes, Sponge Bob watches a program on TV where they show an actinia dancing to sensual music. Judging by Bob’s expression, the show on the screen is not meant for children. It’s no coincidence that he abruptly switches to the sports channel as soon as Gary appears in the room. However, this wasn’t just a fantasy created by cartoon artists. Actinias and sponges sometimes live together, creating symbiosis. But kids are better to be told about it in a less provocative way.
Cars
During an after-the-race photoshoot with the winners, 2 girls (Mia and Tia) drive up to Lightning McQueen. They call themselves big fans of the racer and suddenly lift themselves up on their wheels and start to show the racer their “high beams.” This was meant to mimic how some girls lift up their T-shirts and flash rock stars at concerts.
Hercules
On a date with Meg, Hercules shares his impression of the play they both watched recently. “And then that, that play, that, that, that Oedipus thing. Man, I thought I had problems.” It’s unclear to kids why Meg is laughing at this joke, while adults familiar with Greek mythology catch the irony. King Oedipus killed his father and married his mother not even suspecting that these people were his parents. That’s why Hercules says that his problems are simply ridiculous compared to what kind of trials fell upon poor Oedipus.
Tiny Toon Adventures
In one of the episodes of the cartoon series, Daffy Duck feels bored at the movies so he starts to look through a magazine with a peculiar name.
Ralph Breaks the Internet
There’s another not-suitable-for-kids moment in a children’s cartoon. In the scene where Vanellope gets to a Disney princesses’ room, they show their readiness to protect their territory from the stranger. Cinderella is the one who gets the angriest — she breaks her shoe like men break bottles in bars during brawls — creating a makeshift shiv.

Social media sensation and cover girl model Maye Musk is, at age 72, still an absolute star in her own right. Although she doesn’t brag about her own life much, she loves to share how proud she is of everything her 3 kids have accomplished. Elon Musk, a well-known entrepreneur, his brother Kimbal, who owns multiple restaurants, and sister Tosca, a filmmaker and media entrepreneur, have achieved a lot in life so far. When hearing about a family that is so successful, we can’t help but wonder what their childhood was like. And it turns out that their success all started right at the source, as they have been brought up by a real power-women.
In her new book A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success, the mother of 3 reflects back on her life and reveals some surprising parenting advice which we at Bright Side are very excited to share with you.
At a young age her kids were taught the importance of working hard.
For Maye, it started at age 31 when she was left to raise her 3 children as a single mother. To provide for her kids, she worked as a dietitian. “I never felt guilty about working full-time,” she says, “because I didn’t have a choice. Taking care of my children was the top priority.” In a way, her kids benefited from her work ethic, as they quickly learned how important it was to work hard and with determination.
...and to be independent, kind, and honest.
She not only brought up her children to be hard workers, but also to be independent, kind, and honest. “From a young age, the kids helped me with my nutrition business. [...] As they got older, they continued to take responsibility for their own futures through the decisions they made. My kids benefited because they saw me work hard just to put a roof over our heads.” She expressed that doing good for others is the trick and her kids saw her doing that as a dietitian and as their mom.
But the most important thing is that you should let your children go their own way.
When people ask her how she raised such successful kids, she tells them it is all about hard work and most of all about letting them follow their interests. Her message is that, in the end, it is the most important that your children are happy and not stressed out because they’re working on a subject that their parents want them to do, but they don’t. “I would love for my 3 children to be dietitians and open offices with me and live next door to me. But that’s not going to happen,” she said.
In the end their success is indeed rooted in what they loved as kids.
“When they were younger, Elon would take a book and read. Tosca would hang around me, and Kimbal would be picking up the peppers and smelling them and saying, “Aaah[...] I could not have predicted Tesla or SpaceX or Kimbal’s restaurants, the Kitchen or Big Green, or Tosca’s Passionflix. But now I see what Elon is accomplishing with technology, what Kimbal is building in the world of food, and what Tosca is doing with movies; all of it is rooted in what they loved as kids.”

As we age, our skin begins to sag and crease. And while there are many skincare products out there to choose from, something as simple as olive oil from your pantry can do the trick. Even though most fine lines and wrinkles begin to show between the ages of 35 and 50, it’s never too early nor too late to begin a skincare routine than can help fight against them.
We at Bright Side believe that skincare shouldn’t be inaccessible and expensive, so we’ve put together a list of 6 natural oils that can help fight wrinkles and keep your skin smooth and supple for years to come.
Avocado oil
Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids, omega fats, and vitamin A, which are all nutritious for the skin to absorb. Not only is it a great moisturizer, but avocado oil contains minerals and antioxidants that shield your face from ultraviolet rays of the sun, which is one of the top causes of wrinkles. To use avocado oil, combine: 2 tablespoons of avocado oil
3-4 drops of floral essential oil such as rose or lavender Place them in a 1-ounce jar. Gently shake the contents to blend them before applying them to your face.
Lemon oil
Lemon oil is used for treating acne and fungal issues. It’s also an oil used in many anti-aging products due to the high antioxidant and antimicrobial properties it contains. Because it’s a highly concentrated oil, lemon essential oils must first be diluted in a carrier oil such as grapeseed, coconut, or olive oil. Studies have also found that citrus oils react harshly on your skin when exposed to the sun, so it’s best to use them at night. In a 50 ml bottle, mix: 50 ml of carrier oil (we recommend extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil)
3-5 drops of lemon oil Gently shake the bottle before using its contents on your skin. For the best results, use it only at night.
Lavender oil
The smell of lavender promotes total relaxation, and the same effect is also seen on fine lines and wrinkles. With high levels of antioxidants, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties, lavender essential oil does wonders for acne and wrinkles. In a small jar or bowl, combine: A few drops of pure lavender essential oil
Extra virgin coconut oil (or any other carrier oil you prefer) Stir or gently shake the bottle and add it to your skincare routine.
Grapeseed oil
Grapeseed oil is made from the seeds of pressed grapes, typically a byproduct of winemaking. The seeds are rich in vitamin E and polyunsaturated fats, making it a nutritious oil for your skin to absorb. You can apply grapeseed oil directly to your skin and massage until absorbed.
Carrot seed oil
Carrot seed oil is an essential oil obtained from cold-pressed carrot seeds. The oil is rich in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and has been found to have anti-aging properties as well. With high levels of antioxidants, the oil also moisturizes and rejuvenates. Like other essential oils, carrot seed oil must first be diluted in a carrier oil before rubbing it onto the skin. To use carrot oil, combine: 2 teaspoons of carrier oil, such as almond or avocado

My sister has a son and a daughter, they’re twins. I think they were around 5 years old at the time. After surgery, my sister couldn’t eat any fried, smoked, or spicy foods. In general, she supports the idea of healthy food only, so no salami or things like that. Her son is okay with that but her daughter really craves things like this.
They were walking on the street and she had an idea for lunch:
— “I’ll make you some fried potatoes.”
The son heard the name of his favorite food and ran to his mother saying, “Mommy, thank you so much! I love fried potatoes! I’ll finally have some!”
And then her daughter says, “Mom, can we have some salami too? Maybe just a small piece?”
Everyone at the playground froze... All the mothers had judgemental looks on their faces — they thought my sister wouldn’t give her kids food. © crazyEmpress / Pikabu

Places made popular through movies are suffering, such as Dubrovnik, which has seen 60,000 new tourists a year because of Game of Thrones alone. While it can be exciting to see for ourselves where our favorite movies and TV series were set, it can pose serious problems that we don’t always consider.
Bright Side has found the most popular locations that are being affected by movie-loving tourists.
1. King’s Landing, Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik
Since the filming of Games of Thrones, both the Dubrovnik locals and UNESCO are protesting the huge number of tourists visiting this UNESCO world heritage site. In fact, UNESCO has warned that it may remove the city as a heritage site because of the impact tourism is having with hundreds of thousands of people arriving every year.
2. The McCallister home from Home Alone, Winnetka, IL
This impressive house actually exists and people are still taking the opportunity to get a photo in front of it years later. The problem is that this is a private residence, which means that having strangers illegally park outside your home to take photos could be considered an invasion of privacy.
3. Christ Church College from Harry Potter, Oxford, England
This movie location is actually located inside one of the collages of Oxford University, meaning that there are students on campus trying to work around large crowds visiting the area. The huge number of sightseers that the city attracts has led to complaints from the residents.
4. Murder House from American Horror Story, Los Angeles, CA
The infamous mansion actually exists in real life, with many people flocking to it for a photo. So many people, in fact, that the new homeowners are suing their real estate agents for not telling them it was in the series. They have also had a few break-ins since moving with desperate fans trying to get in.
5. The “Joker stairs,” The Bronx, NY
Made famous from the latest Joker movie, these otherwise normal stairs are attracting a lot of attention as everyone wants to get a photo on them. This has led to the locals complaining about just how many people are blocking these stairs for a quick photo opportunity.
6. The pink house from Love Actually, Notting Hill, London
The house from that Love Actually scene is a real residential home, and many, many people still visit it. The owner has complained about people on their doorstep taking photos for Instagram, while the local council has asked for people to stop visiting. The silver lining is that the homeowner has put a charity box outside to collect money for local causes from the visiting crowds.
7. That bookshop from Notting Hill, Notting Hill, London
This bookshop is perhaps the most famous in the world after appearing in the romcom. Some local residents have complained that because the film was such a success, many people want to visit and even live in the neighborhood. This has hugely changed the area as house prices have increased and the area has been gentrified over the years.
8. The bus from Into the Wild, Alaska
The bus made famous by the story of Chris McCandless has been controversial with many people risking their lives to visit it. Two women have died trying to reach it and there have been numerous rescue missions. This has led to the recent removal of the bus, which had to be airlifted out to prevent people from making the dangerous journey.
9. Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment from Sex and the City, NY
This New York apartment, where so many of Carrie Bradshaw’s antics took place, actually exists — well, the entrance does. Because so many tourists have flocked to the apartment, the owners have had to put up a sign that says not to stand on their steps. There’s even a Sex and the City tour bus you can take, which is now banned from stopping outside their house.
10. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Skellig Michael, Ireland
This idyllic island off of Ireland has received a lot of attention and thousands of tourists have visited each year. This is worrisome for the native bird and wildlife habitats of the small island, and also for its history of ancient monasteries which may not be fully protected.

If you feel like your dog is making puppy eyes at you or is trying to look sad intentionally, you might be right. In the process of evolution, dogs, unlike wolves, developed special muscles that allow them to control their eyebrow movements and influence people better this way. But the pets from our compilation don’t have a reason to resort to such tricks — they earned a reputation for being good boys and girls all on their own.
The Bright Side editorial team made an effort to find dogs who deserve rave reviews for their good behavior. There’s no doubt that their owners are proud of their training.
“My sister sent me a photo of her great dane and the new puppy they just got.”
Mimicking its owner, this dog learned to pick up plastic. They cleaned the whole neighborhood together.
“I found this kitten in the woods. I thought my old cats would adopt him but it seems like my big boy accepted daddy duty.”
“People say that my Cherry doesn’t look like a dog. But she’s a loyal friend, just a small one. And she bravely protects me from the vacuum cleaner and our slow cooker.”
“I adopted this cutie from a shelter. When I first met him, he jumped onto my chair to lick my face. This was definitely an unexpected way to meet my new best friend.”
“My cat got sick and couldn’t walk. My mom sent me a picture of our dog comforting his beloved friend. So touching.”
“This is Penny. She’s only 10 weeks old but has already mastered ’sit.’”
“My dog Thor hates other people’s dogs, but yesterday, he let one inside of his doghouse. He slept outside, guarded her, and even shared his food.”
“And it soon became clear that this dog had given birth to 6 puppies. Today, we finally found the owner of this dog, and the new mom returned back home with her babies. Thor isn’t their dad, by the way.”
