Doing this many push-ups signals stellar upper-body strength after 60, according to a trainer. Drop down and knock out a few push-ups, and you learn something about yourself in about thirty seconds flat. No equipment, no gym, no membership, just your own body against the floor. It’s one of the oldest strength tests there is, and it turns out to be far more telling than a simple gauge of how strong your arms are, especially once you’re past 60. Part of what makes the push-up so interesting is that researchers have started treating it as a window into overall health,…

How to work with your body through the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases without turning cycle syncing into another wellness rulebook. Your menstrual cycle is not one static hormonal state. Estrogen and progesterone shift throughout the month, and with them, some people notice changes in energy, appetite, sleep, mood and the way exercise feels. That is the basic idea behind cycle syncing: adjusting certain habits according to where you are in your menstrual cycle. Research on cycle syncing as a complete lifestyle program is still limited, so a more useful approach is to understand what is happening during each phase,…

Matt Gehlbach’s story is one that could be a source of inspiration for many in and out of the fitness community. A young California kid uses sports and fitness as a way to improve himself, works to become a firefighter, struggles through adversity and the loss of his job, works his way back up to join a bigger department, then takes a leap of faith into entrepreneurship that so far has been paying off. When asked what advice he would offer for someone in a similar starting position, his answer was with a question of his own. “You’ll never know…

There are certain things you replace because they stop working. A hair dryer that cost several hundred dollars and is still working perfectly is generally not one of them. We had been using the Dyson Supersonic for years, most recently the Supersonic Nural, and genuinely loved it. It was fast, reliable and one of those beauty tools that quietly became part of the routine because it simply worked. Still, we had been eyeing the Dyson Supersonic r for a long time, mostly because the smaller curved shape looked so different from anything we had used before and kept showing up…

The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) headquarters in Arlington, Virginia served as the host location for the fifth installment of M&F Senior Military Editor Rob Wilkin’s Military Health and Wellness Symposium series. Military leaders and experts from a variety of human performance fields gathered to share information and research that could be taken back to help service members, veterans, and their families improve their own health and fitness levels. Wilkins emphasized that due to how fast information can change and how often new knowledge is discovered, hosting events like this are vital because the physical well-being of those who…

You’re eating the same way you always have. Maybe you’re even eating better. And the number on the scale is still climbing—with more of it showing up around your belly than it used to. Sound familiar? Menopause weight gain—and perimenopause weight gain—isn’t a willpower problem. It’s your hormones and everything connected to them, shifting all at once. Here’s the good news: once you understand what’s actually going on, there’s a lot you can do about it. Weight gain and feeling “off” during this stage almost never come down to one single cause. It’s estrogen, yes. But it’s also your blood…

Glutathione is having a moment, but the real story is not just that another ingredient has entered the healthy aging conversation. It is that more people are starting to ask better questions about their supplements. What form is being used? Can the body actually absorb it? Why are certain ingredients paired together? And is the formula built with intention, or is it simply following the trend? That matters with glutathione because the ingredient itself is already doing important work inside the body. It is one of the body’s most essential antioxidants, naturally produced in the liver and tissues, and it…
