For decades, shampoo has been marketed around shinier hair, bigger volume, and fewer bad hair days. Rarely has the conversation focused on the scalp itself or the ingredients behind those promises. But as ingredient transparency becomes a bigger priority across wellness, more people are starting to rethink the products they use every wash day. Carly Ferrarese, founder of Under Luna, has built her brand around that very idea. Ahead, she shares why the future of…
What do front planks, dead bugs, and the standard Pallof press have in common? They all move in straight lines. But we don’t only move in straight lines. Swinging a golf club, throwing a baseball, or lifting a suitcase into the trunk of your car all require your body to produce and control rotation. These movements require your hips, core, and shoulders to work as a unit. Straight line movements don’t help. That’s where diagonal movements shine, as in the Half-Kneeling Cable Chop. The half-kneeling position removes momentum, challenges your core to generate force while keeping your hips and lower…
Does the floor feel harder to get up from after 60? Three daily moves to rebuild that ability. Getting up off the floor is a skill most people lose in their 60s without realizing it, and it’s the one that matters most for staying independent as the years pass. It happens gradually: the legs get a little weaker, the hips get a little tighter, and one day the floor feels like a different country. I’ve been a personal trainer for almost 40 years, and for the past 20, I’ve been director and co-founder of TRAINFITNESS, which provides in-person and online…
If you have spent any time scrolling lately, you have probably seen it: someone reclined in a salon chair, eyes closed, while warm water cascades over their hair like the world’s chicest shampoo commercial. That, friends, is a head spa. And in much of the world, it is not a trend at all. It is just Tuesday. In parts of Asia, scalp care is a regular part of the beauty and wellness conversation. Across Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, and beyond, head spa rituals have long been treated as more than just a very luxurious wash. They are about circulation, relaxation,…
On Episode 292 of The Menace Podcast, host Dennis “The Menace” James was joined by regular panelists Milos Sarcev and Jose Raymond, and as they discussed the results of the 2026 Mr. Big Evolution Pro, “The Mind” revealed his most suggestible student. Jordan Hutchinson punched his ticket to the 2026 Mr. Olympia final by topping the Open division at the IFBB Mr. Big Evolution Pro on July 6, closely followed by James Hollingshead in second place, and Sarcev’s former client Lorenzo Leeuwe in third. Since retiring, the former Mr. Yugoslavia and Mr. Universe has carved out a reputation for being one…
This intense lower-body challenge is great for training your legs. If you’re looking to build strong, sculpted legs, bodyweight exercises are a stellar place to begin. The best part? You can perform them in the comfort of your own home—or essentially anywhere you happen to be. Take wall sits, for instance. This exercise may look simple, as it involves sliding down a wall and holding a “sitting” position for the prescribed amount of time. But don’t be fooled—it creates an intense lower-body challenge to train your legs. In fact, if you can hold a wall sit this long after 60,…
Some links in this story may earn us a commission, always at no extra cost to you. We only ever recommend what we genuinely love. Not every summer fragrance needs to smell like sunscreen, citrus, or a very expensive hotel lobby. Sometimes the best ones are softer than that. A little warmer. A little stranger. The kind of scent you keep coming back to because you cannot quite place why it feels so comforting. That is the feeling behind Ellis Brooklyn’s newest launch, Vanilla Rice, a creamy Eau de Parfum that takes vanilla in a more delicate direction. Instead of…
The basic premise of weight training is pretty simple: pick up something heavy, put it back down, repeat. That simple formula built some of the strongest, most muscular physiques the world has ever seen. Long before fitness influencers, ring lights, Bosu balls and people filming themselves doing lunges in the squat rack, the pioneers of the iron game figured out what worked — and then spent the next hundred years proving it. In hardcore dungeon gyms around the world, the biggest and baddest physiques on the planet were built doing basic compound movements: squats, deadlifts, bench presses, bent rows, pull-ups,…
Give your balance some much-needed TLC by adding these daily exercises to your routine. Balance exercises don’t get the attention they deserve. When most people hit the gym, they typically gravitate toward cardio machines to burn calories or free weights to build muscle mass. While both are essential parts of a well-rounded workout routine, balance training also deserves a dedicated spot in your rotation. “Balance isn’t one thing; that’s the part most people don’t realize. It’s your strength, your proprioception (basically your body’s sense of where it is without looking), your coordination, your vision, and your inner ear all working…
We’ve all felt it: the stress that lingers long after the moment has passed. A tension headache that won’t quit, a lower back that flares when life feels like too much, an exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to touch. The idea behind somatic healing is that this isn’t random, it’s the body holding onto what it couldn’t process, and waiting for us to finally listen. To understand what that really means, we sat down with Dr. Carli Axford, founder of the Spinal Flow Technique and a nervous system expert with more than 30 years in holistic healing. Here,…
