Jhenny Andrade opened up about winning “Best Ring Girl” at the MMA Awards to UFC.com. "We'll see if I'll be nominated again. I'm happy just being (among) the five nominees, but the responsibility is even greater now, and I'm going to do everything I can to keep this award in Brazil for years and years. I'm thinking like Amanda Nunes now. She always says that nobody is going to take the belt from her, so I say that I'm keeping my award. If God wants to, next year, if I'm nominated again, it will stay in Brazil.”

Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity.”
