What is "Plantain"
This is a podcast that Lifehacker makes together with Yandex. Taxi". Right now at "Plantain»The second season is released. In the first, we talked about how to become the best version of yourself. And in the second, we talk with people from different cities of Russia and find out how their everyday life has changed due to the pandemic. Heroes share interesting stories with us and give tips that help us stay optimistic even in such conditions.

2. Get out of self-isolation not with a beer belly, but with a tightened press
We will not lie, in "Plantain»There are no training plans, so you won't be able to learn how to exercise with it. But getting inspired to do sports is easy.
For example, in one of the episodes, Greenpeace employee Anna told how she and her husband train every night. Anna learned to do glute bridges, Romanian deadlifts and other cool exercises. Now she is looking forward to showing everyone how wonderful things fit on a new figure.

It is especially difficult for doctors during a pandemic. They cannot sit at home in front of the TV, with a warm blanket and a cup of cocoa in their hands. They have to go to work almost every day and risk their lives. But coronavirus is not the only threat to doctors.
Now they need to wear white protective suits, respirators and goggles for calls. People have different attitudes towards this strange kind of doctor. Some arm themselves with basins and other improvised means and rush to defend their territory from the "white walkers". More stories from doctors - funny and not so - we have collected in the fourth episode of the podcast “Plantain».
