SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

If you’d like to enjoy better sleep, try doing a few sets of squats in the evening. A study by University of Otago in New Zealand found a link between short bursts of nightly strength training and about half an hour of extra sleep. The researchers chose squats because the exercise recruits the largest muscles – and test subjects didn’t need equipment or substantial space.

It’s the current viral workout – and you can’t “beat” it. “Cardio drumming” is where you place an exercise ball in a bucket and whack it with drumsticks to the beat of a song, as a way of burning calories, relieving stress, and strengthening bones. A recent TikTok clip showing a group of women cardio drumming to ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande smashed 19.3 million views and garnered nearly 30,000 comments. One doctor pointed out that this type of class “isn’t just about fitness… they have created an incredible community” and it will “lead to better self-esteem, more motivation and probably impact multiple other areas in their life.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4tnw6eek

The full cast of “Dancing With the Stars” Season 32 was announced on “Good Morning America” yesterday. A few ABC favorites from “The Bachelor” franchises will be joining the 33rd season, along with other athletes, Hollywood stars and reality stars. The full list: Super Bowl champ Danny Amendola, “The Bachelor’s” Joey Graziadei, NBA champ Dwight Howard, Chandler Kinney from “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin”, Olympian Ilona Maher , model Brooks, Phaedra Parks from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, plus Eric Roberts, Tori Spelling, Reginald VelJohnson from “Family Matters”, and “Bachelorette” Jenn Tran. Two other contestants — Anna Delvey and Olympic “pommel horse guy” Stephen Nedoroscik — had already been revealed as part of this year’s cast.

Demi Moore isn’t very pumped about a possible remake of her 1990 movie “Ghost”. Over the years, there have been talks about re-creating the iconic romance, most recently with Channing Tatum, who announced his plans to re-do the film last year. Moore, who starred in the original alongside Patrick Swayze, said to Variety: “There are some films better left alone, but it depends on what the take is. Moore feels the success of Ghost is thanks to the movie’s “alchemy”, and gave props to other cast-members including Whoopi Goldberg and Tony Goldwyn, who played the villain. But, Moore said, “Channing is incredibly intelligent and talented — who knows what he would bring to it if it happened.”

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

Grandmas, it might be time to lock up your jewelery box – because Gen Z has decided that brooches are back. That’s right, the once-dated accessory pin is fast-becoming a hot item for style on the street, and on red carpets and runways. Second-hand retail site The RealReal is reporting sales increases on brooches over the past 2 years, and a spokesperson notes that buyers aren’t just wearing them as a traditional holiday accessory, but expanding their use to everyday wear, such as “clipping the brooch on (a) scarf to close it” or pinning it to a suit lapel. And on the fall and winter runways, beloved Gen Z brands such as Tory Burch, Miu Miu and Schiaparelli pinned glittering brooches to lapels, coats and sheer blouses. One creative director believes the brooch’s new-found popularity among the young is “driven by a reimagined vintage kind of fashion.”

Experts say the possibility of hydrogen-powered flight means greater opportunities for fossil-free travel, and the technological advances to make this happen are moving fast. New studies from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden show that almost all air travel within a 750-mile radius (1200 km) could be made with hydrogen-powered aircraft by 2045, and with a new heat exchanger currently in development, that range could be even further. Professor Tomas Grönstedt said “the commercialization of hydrogen flight can go really fast now. As early as 2028, the first commercial hydrogen flights in Sweden could be in the air”, and 30-40% of global aviation will be powered by hydrogen by 2050.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Are CDs on their way back? Well, they’re definitely on their way back into a new Subaru, as a “throwback” option. The latest generation WRX has a number of ‘finishing touches’ available, allowing buyers to add all manner of extras, such as mud flaps, an engine underguard, and a first aid kit. But the most interesting – at least for 90s kids – is the optional CD player, neatly fitted under the center console’s armrest. Of course, with the shift to downloads and streaming services, not many manufacturers even offer a CD option anymore, but if you still have some discs kicking around, Subaru’s $375 CD Player Kit might be worth splashing out on. On the other hand, you could instead select the “automatic transmission” option for just $300
