The new John Wick of anime

 Rather than the usual recommendation of shows that I've already seen, this time I'm talking about an up-and-coming manga adaptation. The manga is known as Sakamoto Days, and as you can guess based on the title, it's about a hitman. Written and illustrated by Yuto Suzuki, the story follows Taro Sakamoto, a retired hitman that left a life of killing to become a domestic family man. However, as shown in numerous previous media form, it's not that simple. When the organization he used to work for starts sending other hitmen after him and his family, Sakamoto has to step up to protect them, and protect them he does. Showing that his years as a father and husband haven't weakened him in the slightest, he defeats everyone who is sent after him, often using superhuman feats to do so, ending in hilarious results.

Flexibility refers to the body's natural range of motion, it is a part of fitness that should be taken seriously, just as every other part. One of the biggest misconceptions about flexibility is that you need to be thin to be flexible, or that you lose muscle mass when you stretch. To this statement I just laugh. The benefits of high flexibility and regular stretching include fewer injuries and less pain, improved posture and balance, and you overall feel better. Despite the absolute insane amount of stretches there are, they usually fall into one of 2 types.  Dynamic - which revolves around using repetitive movements. Static - Which revolves around holding certain positions for a certain amount of time. The best is to have both types incorporated into your daily routine.
