What We Are Doing Today: Team Body Project

  • This program is especially needed now that everyone is stuck at home and boredom-eating has become a habit

Quarantined or not, buying the three-month Team Body Project program was the best investment I ever made.
Frustrated with how unfit I had become, I looked up home workout videos on YouTube. The Team Body Project workout videos are led by fit couple Alex and Daniel, who are both great instructors and fun exercise companions.
What caught my attention was how professional the workouts were, unlike the thousands of other videos on YouTube where painfully optimistic people jumped around to music so loud it drowned out all other sounds.
A team works out behind the instructors, and we can clearly see them struggle and sweat, helping us feel less lonely as we too follow the program.
I ended up buying their online three-month program, which gives you unlimited access to all of their workouts. From very beginner levels to more advanced ones, they have something for everyone, whether you are just starting your journey or simply wish to maintain your fitness.
This program is especially needed now that everyone is stuck at home and boredom-eating has become a habit. The prices are very reasonable and are nowhere near the cost of going to an actual gym. All you need is an exercise mat, dumbbells, an hour from your day and determination. Maybe as a community, we can come out of this quarantine fit and healthy.


Leading AI company to partner with Saudi Arabia, CEO tells Arab News

Leading AI company to partner with Saudi Arabia, CEO tells Arab News

  • Argentum’s Andrew Sobko: ‘Very easy’ to build new infrastructure, data centers in Kingdom
  • In 2024, Saudi Arabia announced $100bn plan to establish AI hub

CHICAGO: The founder and CEO of Argentum AI, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence companies, has told Arab News that he is looking forward to partnering with Saudi Arabia.

Ukrainian-born Andrew Sobko, based in Chicago, said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has made a significant commitment to AI use.

In 2024, Saudi Arabia announced a $100 billion plan under Vision 2030 to build a hub to develop technology and data centers to handle a significant portion of the world’s AI workload.

The Kingdom reportedly expects AI to contribute more than $135.2 billion to its gross domestic product by 2030, representing roughly 12.4 percent of its economy.

“The US still is the kind of core leader of this AI innovation, development and infrastructure, but we quickly realized that Saudi Arabia sees this as an important asset class, not just as an innovation,” Sobko said.

“They’re deploying tons of capital. If you try to build some new infrastructure or data center, it’s very easy to do it in Saudi Arabia,” he added. “Saudi Arabia realizes and sees this compute as almost like a second asset class after oil.”

The term “compute” refers to the process of calculations that fuels AI development and applications in everyday use.

“The Middle East wants to be one of the largest exporters of compute. They realized that a couple of years ago and they’re aggressively expanding,” Sobko said, adding that AI is being used more and more in industries such as sports, in which Saudi Arabia has invested heavily.

Argentum AI recently added Majed Al-Sorour, CEO of the Saudi Golf Federation, to its board.

“Majed is also a huge believer in AI and AI infrastructure,” said Sobko. “With the help of Majed, we’re focusing on global expansion. He’s leading charge on that.”

Sobko said the challenge is not simply recognizing the importance of AI, but the ability to power data centers that it requires, and Saudi Arabia recognizes that need.

“If you secure a significant amount of power and you have data center capacity, you can actually control this kind of compute and AI,” he added.

“And the biggest bottleneck to continue expanding as we enter into this new age of robotics industry, it needs a lot more compute.”

Following meetings with US leadership, including President Donald Trump last November, Saudi Arabia secured agreements on AI technology transfers, aiming to avoid reliance on other nations’ systems.
