Those focused, arm-toning workouts — you know, the kind that makes it impossible to wash your hair or reach for that top-shelf glass afterward? — feel amazing, but sometimes they can be difficult to find on their own. Sure, burpees are included in many HIIT workouts, and some exercises incorporate lifting weights while doing lunges. But what about those times you want to focus solely on your arms? We've found the best 30-minute arm workouts on YouTube that allow you to close your exercise ring while burning your biceps and triceps the whole time. These are a mix of weightlifting and bodyweight moves, so you can find one to do no matter what equipment you have on hand.

The Magic Leap 2 headset looks smaller but still also looks to be tethered to a processor to work. Magic Leap Magic Leap is still around, and the augmented-reality company is aiming a new headset at the business market to take on territory similar to Microsoft's Hololens. Magic Leap CEO Peggy Johnson (formerly with Microsoft) revealed the new headset during a CNBC interview and in a blog post on Monday. Johnson told news outlets earlier this year that a new headset would be announced by the end of 2021.Magic Leap's immediate goals for Magic Leap 2 are a wider field of view (the first version had a very limited viewing area in which AR graphics would appear), a smaller more glasses-like size, and dimming for use in bright outdoor conditions. First-gen AR headsets didn't work very well in bright sunlight, although current AR headset efforts from Snapchat and Niantic (using Microsoft's Hololens 2) are becoming more outdoor-focused.
