Wellness trends have a way of moving at lightning speed. One week everyone is taking olive oil shots, the next we’re lining up for NAD infusions and testing our biological age. Sorting what’s actually worth incorporating into our routines from what’s simply very good marketing is the harder part. Dr. Steven Gundry has spent decades looking at health through the lens of the microbiome, metabolism, and longevity. We’ve previously turned to him to unpack the connection between the gut and brain, explain why so many of us feel tired all the time, and make the case for polyphenols and plenty of olive oil.…

Luke Browning won the F4 British Championship in 2020, the GB3 Championship in 2023, and the Macau Grand Prix in 2023, but as the Atlassian Williams team’s first reserve driver for Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz, the 24-year-old must balance his own competitive seasons with the additional demands of supporting the F1 team. In this exclusive chat with Muscle & Fitness, the Chelsea, England, born athlete explains how he first fell in love with fast moving vehicles, and why he still relies on two wheels to stay in shape. “Everything was a race since I was four or five years…

How many steps can you take in 90 seconds? Take the test to find out. Walking is easy to overlook because it feels so ordinary. That’s exactly why it works. It fits into a normal day, doesn’t require a gym, and gives you a simple way to build fitness without turning every workout into a production. A daily step count supports more than calorie burn. More steps can improve your aerobic base, help manage weight, support heart health, and keep your joints moving through a rhythm your body already understands. Research continues to show that higher daily step counts are…

There was once a time when William Byron would get through the opening stage of a NASCAR Cup Series race, and he already felt like he had gone the distance. It wasn’t that he wasn’t fit enough. Byron was simply spending way too much energy fighting everything: the car, G-forces, the duration of the race, and even his own tension. “When I first got into Cup, just getting used to the length of the races was the biggest thing,” Byron told M&F. “You’re in the car for three to four hours, and my first year, I feel like the first…

4 chair moves a CSCS trainer uses to build real upper-body strength after 60. Push-ups have earned their reputation, and most people have tried them. They’re simple on paper, but they ask a lot from the wrists, shoulders, core, and chest all at once. After 60, upper-body training often works better when the exercises feel strong from the first few reps. That’s where a chair can help. I use chair-based strength workouts with clients when I want them to press, pull, and stabilize with more control. The setup feels familiar, the movements are easy to adjust, and the right exercises…

On Episode 300 of The Menace Podcast, host Dennis James was joined by Milos Sarcev and Chris Cormier, and one of the hot topics of conversation was Sarcev’s client, Hadi Choopan, who recently announced that he will not make it to Las Vegas for the 2026 Mr. Olympia final. During the show, Sarcev shared the shock and heartbreak suffered by Choopan’s late exit and also revealed the Iranian’s potential next move. The man they call “The Persian Wolf” announced on Aug. 26 that authorities would not allow him to fly from his home country of Iran to Dubai for an…

Five chair moves for stronger hips after 65, no gym machines required. Most people could use stronger hips. Strong hips help you climb stairs and stand up and after sitting down. But as you age, hip muscles dwindle away, especially for those who live a sedentary lifestyle. Prolonged sitting leads to muscle loss and excess hip tightness. A modern lifestyle includes mostly sitting: sitting at meal times, in front of the computer, at a desk, or in the car. I’ve worked with many clients 65 and older who thought they needed a gym membership or fancy machines to strengthen their…

Instructions are for 1 serving. Please modify as needed. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place a baking sheet in the oven to heat. Drain the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve, gently pressing out excess liquid. Blend the egg yolks, vanilla, cottage cheese, and almond flour until almost smooth. Add the milk and blend again until smooth. Combine the erythritol, egg white powder, baking powder, cream of tartar, and xanthan gum in a small bowl. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the cold egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the erythritol mixture and…

Someone at Flamingo Estate has clearly been practicing their spells. In celebration of Practical Magic 2, the Los Angeles estate has created Impractical Magic, a deliciously witchy edition of its Seasonal Harvest Box filled with potions, oracle cards, mugwort, drinking chocolate and enough mystical accoutrements to make the Owens sisters proud.  Flamingo Estate enlisted a wonderfully eclectic coven of healers, herbalists, perfumers, farmers, artists, astrologers, cooks and makers, including Carla Schwiderski, Annee de Mamiel, Donna Bayliss, Goth Shakira, Spellbound Sky and Blanca Carreño. Together they created ten objects, each with its own ritual, around the very useful pursuits of protection, rest, desire,…

It’s easy to make fun of the hip abductor machine. It involves sitting down, pressing your knees against the pad, and pushing the legs apart. It’s the ultimate “don’t you dare maintain eye contact” kind of exercise. There is no barbell bending, no plates crashing, and that is enough for some to label it a fluff exercise and move on. Then there is the “functional” crowd. Critics argue the machine has little carryover to anything that matters. Then the hip abductor machine gets pushed into the same corner as its relative, the hip adduction machine. But muscles don’t care about…
