You’d be mistaken if you thought Craig Morgan would start to lighten his workload when he hit 60. While other artists may opt for a more relaxing beach getaway when the concert tour comes to a close, the country star finds himself most comfortable pushing himself beyond comfort zone. This past winter Morgan spent part of his downtime stitching himself up—literally—after a demanding daily routine of cutting trees and clearing paths in Alaska’s frigid winter conditions. For Morgan, a little blood is just a small portion of his productivity philosophy. “In our society today, we’re not willing to accept pain,”…

A handful of nuts is one of the healthiest and most convenient grab-and go snacks. They can be easily pre-portioned into 100-calorie snackable servings, tossed into a bag, stored in your desk at work, sneaked into a movie theater, and eaten whenever the hangry monster threatens to strike. Unlike some not-so-nutritious crunchy snacks (we’re looking at you, potato chips), nuts are rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats — all of which help sustain a feeling of satiety, or fullness. Nuts have plenty of health benefits, too, including helping to prevent obesity. But don’t go nuts over nuts just yet. All…

The creases around your lips, eyes, and forehead will never completely disappear unless an invasive procedure is involved.

In my late 40s, I was gaining a ton of fat, especially around my midsection, and I tried various methods, trainers, and coaches before I found what worked. Like many of you, I thought running was the ultimate fat-burning exercise, but I was wrong. I would run miles and miles but couldn’t lose fat—in fact, I was gaining weight. At age 52 in 2019, I finally transformed my body and took part in 3 bodybuilding shows, earning two pro cards and 12 trophies. Now, at 57, I maintain 16% body fat without running a single mile.
