  • In this March 17, 2016 photo, stretching techniques are demonstrated in at Stretch Zone in Boca Raton, Fla. Some chiropractors and trainers say they’re treating more injured clients as the high intensity interval training and hybrid-workout movement has exploded.

And, once again, it’s a demand that is falling on deaf ears. This year’s exercises are bigger than ever before and reportedly include training to take out Kim Jong Un himself. For Pyongyang’s ruling regime, that’s a bridge too far. But probably not far enough to fire the first shots over. (Kim Jun-bum/Yonhap via AP, File)
