You might remember watching episodes of Undercover Boss, the television show that had leaders and CEOs doing everything from trudging around in sewers and serving food alongside their employees. Recently, some CEOs and other C-suite leaders have been reviving the philosophy from that reality show, jumping on this trend of getting in the so-called trenches with employees to better understand their own companies.Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi spent not just a day but several months working as an Uber driver in San Francisco. The Wall Street Journal reported in early April how he jumped behind the wheel of a modest secondhand…
Whether you just signed up for your first 5K or your first marathon, one of the most important steps in prepping for race day is finding a training plan that works for you. Both beginners and experienced runners alike should consider mileage and frequency of their run workouts when choosing a training plan, but when planning out a weekly schedule, every runner should also take into account activities other than running. While running boosts cardiovascular health, endurance, and mental well-being—and of course, running more will help you become a better runner—cross-training, strength, and recovery are also worthy of your attention…

Why The Belt? The weightlifting belt is one of the most crucial pieces of equipment in heavy lifting.

The bench press and its variations still remain the go-to exercises to build size and strength in the chest. But don’t discount the dumbbell chest flye and all its pec-pumping versions. The beauty of this exercise is that it takes much the triceps out of the move so you can focus on the chest just as long as you keep away from some of the common dumbbell chest flye mistakes. Many lifters can’t “feel” their chest working with some press variations, and the dumbbell chest flye solves this problem. When performed with good form, the dumbbell chest fly will encourage…
Coleslaw enjoys a nearly 250-year-old history in the United States. And while you might think of slaw as a quintessentially American side dish, one usually served at barbecues and picnics, its roots reach back to the Netherlands. The Dutch term for the dish was “koosla,” which translates to “cabbage salad.” It’s entirely likely that Dutch immigrants to America brought their cabbage salad recipe with them, and by the year 1770, coleslaw was popping up in recipes written in the U.S. Origins aside, plenty of fast-food restaurants, especially those that serve chicken, have some kind of slaw on their menu. However,…
These days, I’m all about hydration. I carry my water bottle around everywhere I go, so much so that I’ve gotten a reputation as the hydrated girl in my friend group (I’m also an ice snob, but that’s a story for later). This dedication to all things H2O extends to my skin-care routine, and now that spring weather is upon us, I’ve made it my mission to find the most hydrating products possible. As far as serums, I have the FaceGym Hydrobound Daily Serum ($68) in heavy rotation and use it down to the very last drop nearly every month.…
‘Tis the season for Sundays spent at farmers markets. The season we’re talking about is tomato season, of course — a highlight of the hotter months for veggie fiends like ourselves.Tomato season starts in May in California, and while we enjoy summer tomatoes in any capacity, we’re crazy for simple dishes like this tartine that let the raw fruit shine. Gather heirlooms and cherry tomatoes to make this recipe from Market Math, a cookbook from the editors of Food & Wine. Whip up the toast as a fresh summer breakfast or snack (sorry avocados!), or make them in miniature for…
HBO’s dark comedy-drama Barry has always been, in some ways, a fish-out-of-water story, with Bill Hader’s titular hitman trying to reinvent himself as an actor in Hollywood. Season 4 of the show opened with Barry acclimating to yet another new environment—prison—after getting arrested mid-killing at the end of Season 3.Some fans thought that the show might run out of narrative runway after Season 3, with Barry’s incarceration making sense as a conclusion to his story. But the show’s star and c0-creator Bill Hader wanted to explore the whole new complicated array of challenges that prison would present for the character.”It…
