Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This week blogs and fitness sites are fired up about three new trends to switch up your fitness routine and take you out of the traditional gym experience.

Bounce Dance is a circus/ballet-like dance experience with physio balls that requires more twirling than bouncing and is considered a "happy" yoga experience. ( SocialWorkout, PXP

Skatecycling, introduced by the developers of skatecycle FreeRider ($150/€118), is an inventive take on the skateboard with cycle wheels. This out-of-the-box workout looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfJMnXRM6r4  ( InventorSpot

Country Hip-Hop Dancing, supposedly a widespread trend in North America, is heavy on country line dancing with the Running Man mixed in. This is not a funky deep South take on Zumba. Take a look at MyTeamFreedom's "jammin" moves via YouTube that look like the 1980s have been revived: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13qUbuABPbU ( FitBottomedGirls
