Using exercise to pay for stuff?!
Get bigger over Christmas?
Well there’s a way to lose those pounds without spending a pound!
There’s a cafe popping up in Covent Garden where you can pay for your coffee or your sandwich with exercise!
It’s called ‘Run For Your Bun’ and is set up by David Lloyd Gyms, they will let you order whatever you want from the menu – in exchange for a short 10 minute High Intensity Interval Training session.
So basically a short burst of treadmill sprints, a few burpee’s even a few reps on a rowing machine. Once that’s done you get your sandwich.
Book a free spot here!

Facebook Live Audio!?
As like most social media platforms in 2016 Facebook put a lot of time and effort into “LIVE” broadcasting. As of now the social media platform is launching LIVE AUDIO for a select few publishes and content creators with plans to open up the feature to a wider audience in 2017.
The audio only service could bring podcasts into peoples news feeds just like live video does for video. This could potentially help those in areas where broadband and internet speeds is incredibly poor or to those that require less heavy data efficient media.
Facebook sees LIVE AUDIO for other uses such as semi professional stage for events like book readings and interviews coupled with the services comments section this could create incredible amounts of creative content. As of yet the audio only live service is only open to the BBC World Service, Talk Radio’s LBC (Leading Britains Conversation) Book Publisher Harper Collins and authors Adam Grant and Britt Bennett.
Android users can keep listening to a LIVE AUDIO broadcast whilst doing other things though iOS users have to stay within the Facebook App.

No Money No Problem!?
A homeless guy asks for change and for most of us (even if you don’t like to admit it) we will say “Sorry Mate I have no change” – well that excuse may soon be null and void.
A company from Amsterdam called N=5 have created a jacket that has NFC technology on it that allows you to pay using contactless. So if you do wish to donate to the homeless and you have your card on you, all you have to do is tap your card on to their jacket and voila you’ve donated.
The donations are one Euro per donation and the money can only be redeemed by a user through an official homeless shelter in exchange for a place to sleep or eat.
An employee of N=5 spoke to indy100 and said:
“[Firstly], these days we tend to carry little or no cash at all…..Secondly, most people would like to help the homeless, but they feel that giving money basically goes to supporting addictions. So, we wondered: how we can make it easier for people to help others who need it?
“ The only way to redeem the money received this way is through one of the official homeless shelters. The money never goes to the homeless person as cash, but is always redeemed in kind. This way, it can be spent on a place to sleep, a shower or food. The homeless person can also choose to spend it on self-improvement, like vocational training courses or even in building up savings.”
It’s only in a trial period at this moment in time N=5 hopes to refine the product and get it out on mass to those that need it.
