This Barbie is the ultimate plank-challenge champion. On his official website, personal trainer David Higgins, who appeared on "Barbie", posted a snapshot of him with Margot Robbie standing in front of the cast's plank-challenge results. Robbie is smiling in the photograph as she smiles despite being ranked in the physical challenge. Robbie held a plank for four minutes and ten seconds, eking out Ryan Gosling (three minutes and two seconds), Hari Nef (two minutes and 15 seconds), and film director Tom Ackerley (one minute and 36 seconds), according to the board behind her. Higgins himself, who held his plank for a stunning five minutes and 32 seconds, was the only one who stymied Robbie. Higgins talked to POPSUGAR earlier about mixing Pilates with strength training on the "Barbie" set and how Robbie and Gosling were able to get to their workouts.

Ryan Gosling's abs in his Barbie film depiction of Ken has revealed the muscles behind the makeup. Ryan, along with his Kens, Simu Liu and Ncuti Gatwa, said they used a nine-minute workout to keep their core chiseled for the shoots.

Higgins told GQ, "It gave the sense of teamwork that's all in it together," which added to the sense of excitement.'

David Higgins, a London-based personal trainer, has been working with Margot Robbie since about 2015, when she first trained for her role in "The Legend of Tarzan." That movement, which is characterized as tousled, gritty, raw, is just about the antithesis of her of-the-moment starring role in "Barbie." Nonetheless, Robbie went back to Higgins, this time asking him not only to instruct her but also the entire cast — both the Barbies and the Kens — to prepare for Barbie's flawless, manicured role.

Parents are charged £12.50 to drive their children to school in the ULEZ divide

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 1, 2023
As they fear they are now being priced out of the capital, hard-up Londoners have told MailOnline that they've already had to shell out large sums to buy new cars that comply with the money-spinning Ultra Low Emission Zone. The ULEZ is compelled parents who can't afford to buy new ones to pay the £12.50 to drive their children to school in several parts of the city. Although pensioners have been left homeless and unable to see their GPs within the penalty zone, they have been left homeless and unable to see their GPs. Farcically, neighbours who live just yards apart on opposite sides of the clean air zone (left) face radically different outcomes, with some being fined for simply leaving their homes, and others being unaffected. Mr Khan's announcement comes ahead of his proposal to extend the clean air zone to Greater London this year, which would add five million more people - a pain for the 200,000 people who own non-compliant cars.
