A US recession is a virtual certainty and the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates by the third

There appears to be a cultural shift among jet setters, as people switch out self-indulgence for self-care. Traditionally, travelling tends to be the time to unwind and let loose. Now, new research from the Hilton revealed that 7 in 10 are doing so by keeping healthy habits at the forefront of their minds. A further 50 per cent of jet setters feel inspired by their wanderlust and use it to kickstart a new self-care routine. While it's easy to turn a blind eye to exercise while away, it turns out those who do make a conscious choice to work out spend almost an hour a day doing so. Walking and exploring take the top spot for Brits' favourite healthy habit on holiday, shortly followed by reading, general exercise and swimming.

The chain is helping travellers continue their healthy habits while away from home by partnering up with Peloton. Those staying at Hilton hotels across the UK, Germany, Canada and Puerto Rico can seamlessly integrate wellness into their travels with access to its connected fitness content. Hilton Honours members will also be gifted a 90-day free trial of the Peloton App, packed with thousands of streamed classes. While it can be challenging to remain motivated on holiday, popular Peloton instructor Bradley Rose has you covered, with five useful tips shared with Hilton: Make a plan You know the phrase: fail to prepare, prepare to fail. And staying motivated on holiday is made that much easier if you make a plan before you arrive. If you already have a rough itinerary for the trip, think about when you can build in your exercise. Depending on where I am I’ll adapt my training accordingly. Maybe wake up an hour earlier than everyone else to fit in some self-care or spend a little less time getting ready for dinner so you can enjoy a swim in the hotel pool. Choose your location carefully When planning your trip, try to visit a location with ample activity-based things to do, or choose a hotel that has a quality hotel gym and the equipment you need to make it easy to work out. Hilton has recently partnered with Peloton to bring Peloton Bikes into all hotels in the UK, making it straightforward to take your routine with you when travelling. Build it into your day Think about staying active as something to look forward to rather than a chore - in order to do this, try and build it into the activities you’re already doing. Going on an all-day excursion in the mountains? See if there’s anywhere you can hike. Open-top bus tour of the city? Scrap it and opt for a walking tour instead. Part of going to a new city or area is getting out and about and I like to go for a run or a walk. It’s enjoyable because you get to see things from a different vantage point and you’re staying active at the same time. Something short, something accessible just to move the body when I’m on holiday is a great release for me mentally and physically. Connect with others If you’re on holiday with your family, a friend or a partner, get them to join you for a workout, which always makes everything way more fun. If you can’t rope anyone in, think about a guided workout whether that’s using a Peloton Bike or App to connect with the global community - having someone there virtually to guide you or do the workout with you is great for motivation, but also means you don’t have to think about your workout structure or timings. Be flexible When I’m travelling, whether it’s for a holiday or work, the first thing I’m focussed on is not being too hard on myself. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to keep up your full workout routine on holiday, so give yourself grace and remember to set realistic goals of what you can achieve each day. If you only meet 50% of your normal exercise routine - that’s a success, a little goes a long way even if it’s just ten or twenty minutes. Amanda Al-Masri, Vice President of Wellness at Hilton, said: "Wellness can be an influential factor when it comes to holiday choices for some travellers - even when people are away, they don’t want to break their routine or healthy habits. "Expanding our industry-first partnership with Peloton allows us to offer an elevated wellness experience, whether guests are starting a fitness routine or are looking to maintain the habits they keep at home." Meanwhile, Daniel Sprung, Senior Director International, Partnerships and Commercial, Peloton: "We are constantly innovating to meet our Peloton Members and prospective Members where they are," "Expanding access to our Peloton Bike and extensive content, in partnership with Hilton, was a natural next step for our business. Those unfamiliar with our platform can engage with Peloton for the first time while at a Hilton property, and our existing, loyal Members can continue their routines on the go."

Manchester City hope to keep their pursuit of a treble alive as they host Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final. Pep Guardiola’s side dominated large portions of their trip to the Spanish capital last week and will be reasonably content to have left the Bernabeu at level pegging. But Madrid showed their threat in the 1-1 draw, particularly on the counter-attack, and felled their opponents at this stage 12 months ago. With full focus on continental success, Carlo Ancelotti’s team will hope to dash Guardiola’s treble dreams. Here’s everything you need to know. When is Manchester City vs Real Madrid? Manchester City vs Real Madrid is due to kick off at 8pm BST on Wednesday 17 May at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. How can I watch it? Viewers in the United Kingdom will be able to watch the second leg live on BT Sport 1, with coverage on the channel from 7pm BST. Subscribers can stream the action via the BT Sport app or online player. Team news Nathan Ake could be back in contention for Manchester City, with the versatile defender nearing a return from his hamstring issue. Rodri is also thought not to be a concern, with his withdrawal against Everton precautionary. The weekend brought mixed fitness news for Carlo Ancelotti, with Eduardo Camavinga limping off in a fixture against Getafe that marked Ferland Mendy’s return from injury. Ancelotti does have Eder Militao back from suspension, which could prompt a reshuffle - if Camavinga is fit, reports in Spain suggest that he could be pushed into midfield with Fede Valverde utilised in the front three. Predicted line-ups Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Rúben Dias, Akanji; Stones, Rodri; Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne, GündoÄŸan, Grealish; Haaland. Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militão, Rüdiger, Alaba; Modrić, Kroos, Camavinga; Valverde, Benzema, Vinícius Jr. Odds Manchester City win 5/8 Draw 18/5 Real Madrid win 9/2 Prediction Manchester City couldn’t quite convert their comfort in possession into clearcut chances in the first leg, and Real Madrid will be hopeful of again frustrating their opponents. But Erling Haaland and co.’s scoring might may eventually tell. Manchester City 3-2 Real Madrid (4-3 agg.)

A 1-1 first leg draw leaves the Champions League semi-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid finely poised. An enthralling first 90 minutes in the tie saw the visitors have more of the ball in the Spanish capital, but struggle to consistently trouble Thibaut Courtois. Kevin De Bruyne’s fine strike did ensure that Pep Guardiola’s side exited the Bernabeu level after Vinicius Jr.’s equally well-taken goal had put Madrid ahead, and Manchester City will hope their home crowd can give them a boost. And having exited the competition at the same stage against the same opposition last year, Guardiola will be keen for his side to offer greater attacking threat as he chases three trophies to close the season.
