New Year, New Me! What in-home fitness tech are you sold on?

Well, I love to run outside. So, most of the tech I love is outside fitness tech. So, great Garmin watch, its heart rate monitor on my arm. Garmin Pod that I wear on my waistband to check my balance. Little pods I wear on my shoes to check my pronation. All that stuff is great. I did use the Nike Fitness app inside my home for some cross training. And, tons of friends who swear by Peloton even though it's getting a lot of heat.

Is technology helping people stay motivated to work out?

Totally! Helps you track your workouts, help you track your fitness. Strava, it's an app I use, absolutely a huge help. Tech and Food.

How is technology changing the way we eat?

Lab grown meat, it's going to be a huge trend in 2020. You need lots of Impossible Burgers this year. Also, changing the way we cook. If you've been on YouTube to look for cooking videos, there is amazing stuff, particularly by my colleagues at Bon Appetit. So, learn how to cook. Eat some fake meat. Run it off with your Garmin Pods. I'll see you next week, nice and healthy.

Listen: On this episode of the GZERO World Podcast, while the Gaza war rages on with no end in sight, Ian Bremmer and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman discuss how it could end, who is standing in the way, and what comes next. It may seem premature to talk about a resolution to this conflict, but Friedman argues that it is more important now than ever to map out a viable endgame. "Either we're going to go into 2024 with some really new ideas,” Friedman tells Ian, “or we're going back to 1947 with some really new weapons."

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: On the back of the Israeli Defense Forces strike killing seven members of aid workers for the World Central Kitchen, their founder, Chef Jose Andres, is obviously very angry. The Israelis immediately apologized and took responsibility for the act. He says that this was intentionally targeting his workers. I have a hard time believing that the IDF would have wanted to kill his workers intentionally. Anyone that's saying the Israelis are only to blame for this—as well as the enormous civilian death toll in this war–I strongly disagree.
