So the main issue is transportation
and the only way of transportation are the waterways.
So that's the primary challenge that we face,
in catering any sort of services in Sundarbans.
This is the Sundarbans delta,
home to the world's largest mangrove forest and 4.5 million people.
In this remote area, 20 Volvo machines are working non-stop,
building embankments to save this invaluable land.
Rising sea levels and reocurring cyclones
have made living conditions in the Sundarbans extremely harsh.
In 2009, Cyclone Aila swept away the embankments
protecting against the saltwater.
Today, new embankments, are being built in a pioneer construction project.
This project has always been very interesting to Volvo
as well as our dealers
because it's one of the prestigious projects.
It's a government project which is actually helping
improve the livelihood of people.
Construction work in the Sundarbans means facing some extreme challenges,
as one third of the land disappears and reappears with the tide every day.
Suchita Group is the Volvo dealer in West Bengal.
They brought the Volvo excavators on vessels via the waterways,
when the project started.
Operators and spare parts need to come the same way.
Basically, this area is quite far away from the urban region.
So that's the reason why arrangements of connecting us to the city isn't good.
That's the reason we face a lot of problems.
We have to choose the river route as the only available option.
It is time-consuming to come to work here,
but we don't mind that since it is about upgrading the Sundarbans.
And wherever our Volvo machines are used in West Bengal,
we try to offer our services everywhere from the Suchita Group.
By the end of 2018, 5,000 meters of new embankments were constructed.
The new walls will not only protect the land from flooding,
making it possible to farm the land, but they will also serve as roads.
People here will benefit in many ways.
Cyclone Aila left quite an impact,
but once these embankments are built then people won't live in fear anymore.
They'll be able to live in a better and more carefree way.
With improved protection against the rising sea levels,
the Sundarbans has the potential to become a granary
in this highly populated part of the world.
When we hear that Volvo machines are working here
to improve the lives of people, we are excited and proud of it.

I tried Gigi Hadid's equipment-free core workout and it was surprisingly easy - Duration: 6:17.
Like many people, I promised myself that this the year I'd finally tone my abs and get into
great shape.
But the reality is ab work is hard and I rarely muster the will to do it.
So when I had the opportunity to work out like Gigi Hadid, a model notorious for her
killer abs, I felt like I finally had the motivation I needed.
First things first: I did some research into what exactly Hadid does to stay in great shape.
Lucky for me, Hadid frequently trains with Rob Piela, owner of Gotham Gym in NYC, and
he's spoken to a variety of outlets about the sort of work he does with Hadid.
Also lucky for me, it turns out Hadid maintains her fit physique doing some pretty do-able
exercises.
According to Piela, he frequently mixes up Hadid's routine, but she loves boxing, so
I mostly stuck to this workout.
Here's the breakdown:
Warm up the core with 10 minutes of boxing.
Perform three sets of 40 crunches each.
Raise your heart rate with 10 minutes of boxing.
Perform three sets of 40 bicycle crunches each, kicking each leg out once per bicycle.
Box for another 10 minutes.
Take a plank pose to hit the transverse abdominals, holding for about 60 seconds, or as long as
you can maintain good form.
Super-set straight into leg raises to hit the lower abdominals, performing four sets
of 25 leg raises each.
Day 1: It was actually not as bad as I thought it would be, though I hesitate to say it was
easy.Everything went pretty much according to plan, except I definitely didn't do 40
of each exercise because I am not in Gigi Hadid shape and can't easily go from zero
core work to 120 reps for each exercise.
Instead, I did 30, 35, and then 40 repetitions of both types of crunches (although I will
say, I had to take some big breaks during the bicycle crunches because those are not
easy).
The plank was also surprisingly easy, and I could definitely feel my core engage after
getting warmed up by the other exercises.
As far as the boxing, I'd never really done it as a form of cardio (I usually run on an
elliptical), so I wasn't totally sure what to do, and I felt like I wasn't getting a
great workout.
But that's probably more due to my lack of training than the actual efficiency of boxing.
All in all, it was definitely a tough workout but not as bad as I thought a Hadid routine
would be.
Day 2: I started to feel incredibly sore.I repeated the same workout on day two and it
went mostly without a hitch.
Once again, I didn't do 40 repetitions of each exercise every time, and instead did
35, 40, and 40 (progress).
But the bicycle crunches were no easier, and I had to take frequent breaks.
The workout was hard — but the worst part was after.
I must have hit the punching bag the wrong way because my right hand was in such pain
all day that I could barely write with it.
As the day went on, my entire body — especially my core — also started to feel incredibly
sore.
I took it as a sign that I was really putting it to work.Day 3: I took a much-needed rest.My
body was definitely feeling the toll from my intense workouts, so I decided to take
a break on day three.
After all, Piela said Hadid does her core work four days a week, so as long as I got
in another two, I'd still be sticking to the Hadid regimen.
Day 4: I tried my hand at jumping rope.By day four, my body felt a lot less sore but
my hands still hurt from hitting the punching bag, so I skipped it and jumped rope to get
in my cardio instead (Piela said this is another cardio exercise that's a good swap for boxing).
Jumping rope for a total of 20 minutes was a lot harder than it was when I was a kid,
but I got through it with a couple of breaks.
I did feel like it also provided a much more intense workout than hitting a punching bag.
Aside from the change in cardio, I did everything else exactly as I had before.
I still struggled with the bicycle crunches but actually reached the goal of 40 repetitions
for each set of the other exercises, so there was definitely progress.
Day 5: I went above and beyond.For day five, I switched back to boxing and kept everything
else the same.
I was feeling a lot more confident with the routine and I was able to follow it to a T.
I even added an extra 30 seconds into my plank for an extra challenge.
Overall, Gigi's ab workout was definitely simple, easy to follow, and effective.Obviously,
it would take a long time to get Gigi-level abs (and likely a change in my diet as well)
and I wasn't expecting any immediate results.
But I was still very happy with the way the routine worked my abs.
I think it's definitely something I'll be doing in the future — of course adding more
reps to increase the challenge as I go.
I'll also likely switch the cardio to running since I feel it's a better way to get my heart
rate up.
I'm sure boxing with a partner can really get your heart going, but it's easy to slack
off and not really work your body when all you're doing is punching a bag.
Overall, though, I would recommend the workout if you're looking for a simple way to work
your abs without any equipment.
