| | | Get shredded, tonk and ripped safely | | Gyms are back, baby. No more press-ups in the garden, living-room lunges or 40-rep ‘chest blaster’ barbell routines in the middle of the park every day. Finally! Still feel funny about entering your local fitness centre? We would invite you to ‘not sweat it’. Here’s everything you need to know about what is and isn’t allowed (Hulk Hogan poses in the mirror are ‘safe but still not advisable’ apparently), as well as our list of London’s best gyms. Those wishing to gaze further into the future might do well to read our piece on the future of gyms post-lockdown. See you on the other side, pump freaks. |

| Incoming: streaming stuff for your diary | | | | Noon today Delve into a whale’s earwax | While most of us struggled through lockdown, whales had a great time thriving in human-free oceans. Now you can get the lowdown on the, er, earwax of the largest mammals on earth from one of the Natural History Museum’s erudite scientists. Turns out whales’ ear goop tells us much more about the life, health and quality of our oceans than you
could ever imagine. | | The best of the rest: | All day The Royal Opera House is still keeping the culture-hungry entertained. This week it’s streaming the Royal Ballet’s beautiful ‘The Sleeping Beauty’, closely modelled on the company’s beloved 1946 production that reopened the Royal Opera House in 1946 after World War II.
