In the series “Our personal trainer” show us the Berlin fitness coach Sebastian Grüner an exclusive physical exercise every week that will help us become stronger, healthier and more beautiful. This article is part of TIME on the weekendissue 44/2023.
This exercise is often laughed at, but it is one of the favorites of our fitness trainer Sebastian Grüner. Because even though what we call darkening of the eyes here sounds banal, it is important.

So don’t underestimate this part of your body.
