A EDITOR'S NOTE The theme of issue 03 of Alyssum Magazine is the season golf Monsoon.

The heavy rains of monsoon offer respite from the sweltering heat of summer.

From the colour palette to the content and styling choices, everything is reflective of the monsoon season. Nature is dressed in fresh green leaves, decorated with tender buds shaping themselves into bright-coloured blooming flowers and soothing fragrance from rain-soaked soil acting as a perfume for freshly bathed nature. Enjoy reading and I hope you are transported to the atmosphere that is created when cascading rain falls on the ground and there is a sense of coolness in the air.

MONSOON HEALTH TIPS

TIPS TO FOLLOW FOR A HEALTHY BODY THIS MONSOON Walking A good warm up by way of brisk walk or jogging suits all age groups, increases the heart rate metabolism and makes it easy for the muscles of the body to stretch.

The monsoon season does not permit brisk walking or a jogging but basic stretching exercise is important before any kind of strenuous activity.

Studies show there aren't a lot of physical benefits to running in the rain. In fact, it may decrease your sports performance and burn fewer calories. But mentally, running in the rain can make you a more resilient runner

Running in the rain is generally considered safe.

But if there are thunderstorms in your area that include lightning, or it's downpouring and the temperature is below freezing, running in the rain may be dangerous. If you're going to run while it's raining, make sure you're appropriately dressed for the elements.

Planking

A squat is a strength exercise in which the trainee lowers their hips from a standing position and then stands back up.

During the descent of a squat, the hip and knee joints flex while the ankle joint dorsiflexes; conversely the hip and knee joints extend and the ankle joint plantarflexes when standing up. Squats burn calories and might help you lose weight. They also lower your chances of injuring your knees and ankles. As you exercise, the movement strengthens your tendons, bones, and ligaments around the leg muscles.

The burpee, a squat thrust with an additional stand between repetitions, is a full body exercise used in strength training

Planks require your arms, your legs, and all of your abs, making them an allencompassing workout and a more efficient way to exercise.

Get into the top or start of a pushup position. Keep your palms and toes firmly planted on the ground, your back straight, and your core tight. A saggy back or bottom during a plank can result in lower back pain later on, so be sure not to compromise your form. Do not let your head sag.Lower down to your forearms, maintaining the same positioning and form as the high plank.

According to Wikipedia, a news article discusses current or recent news of either general interest or of a specific topic. Political or trade news magazines.

Quoted references can also be helpful.

References to people can also be made through the written accounts of interviews and debates confirming the factuality of the writer’s information and his reliability. The writer can use redirection to ensure that the reader keeps reading the article and to draw her attention to other articles

A burpee is essentially a two-part exercise: a pushup followed by a leap in the air.

Doing several burpees in a row can be tiring, but this versatile exercise may be worth the payoff, especially if you’re looking for a way to build strength and endurance, while burning calories, and boosting your cardio fitness.

Cycling Biking in the rain is more dangerous than riding in dry conditions for an obvious reason: slippery when wet. The road itself is slicker, and so are trail obstacles.

Painted surfaces and metal road features are like ice.

Front and rear lights are highly recommended while cycling in the rain.

Keep them on, keep them flashing, and do your best to be seen. Planning to ride the next day? Make sure your lights are on charge the night before so they're 100% ready in the morning.
