“Dry scooping” is a trend made popular by social media influencers in which you consume a dry scoop of pre-workout — straight-up. (You can also dry scoop protein powder, but that’s not as common.)

So even if you’re tempted to give it a try — please don’t. Read on to learn what can happen if you “dry scoop” pre-workout instead of mixing it with water like the…

It’s almost impossible to purchase anything without having to take a picture of a QR code to get any information. Then there is…
As universities and colleges welcome new groups of students this fall, many professionals are embarking on a new challenge: balancing their existing work life with new study commitments. However, this is easier said than done. According to the U.K.’s Higher Education Statistics Agency, mature students are in decline, as are part-time learners. Similarly, in the U.S., adult learners make up less than one-quarter of all undergraduate students as of 2022. These individuals face distinct challenges as they try to juggle work and school. Some of the key problems working professionals face are financing their degrees, managing commitments and finding a…

By Leo Babauta Most of our stresses and frustrations come from our unwillingness to let go. Hear me out: think about something you’re stressing about, or someone you’re frustrated about. What thought do you have about that person or situation that causes the frustration? It’s often an invisible thought, that we don’t realize we have, but if you were to speak it out loud, it would feel really true. Try writing it out with one of these prompts: “They shouldn’t …” “If I fail, it will mean …” “I wish things weren’t so …” Then fill in the blank. What…
Earlier this month, Muscle & Fitness Director of Media Frank Sepe and M&F Chief Content Officer Zack Zeigler sat down with boxing legend Mike Tyson and Tyson 2.0 brand co-founder and CEO Adam Wilks for a wide-ranging discussion.
