November is recognized as National Military Fitness and Wellness Month, an initiative that was founded by M&F’s Senior Military Editor, the Honorable Rob Wilkins. The mission for this month is to increase awareness of the importance of fitness and wellness for all servicemembers, veterans, and their families and supporters. Fitness has always been a priority for the United States Army, and they have doubled down on that with the creation of Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F). H2F focuses on five pillars of readiness; physical, mental, nutrition, sleep, and spiritual. The program has been making strides on this front thanks to…
If you’ve ever tried to lift a suitcase into an overhead bin, hang a curtain rod, or carry three grocery bags in one trip, you already know how much your shoulders matter. They’re the unsung heroes of movement, helping you push, pull, lift, and balance through nearly everything you do. The problem is that once you reach your 50s, those same shoulders can start to feel stiff, creaky, or a little less potent than they used to be. That’s because the shoulders are one of the most mobile joints in the body, which also makes them one of the most…
Scroll through social media, and it won’t be long before you stumble on colostrum supplements—a buzzy nutrition trend that makes big claims and leaves us with even bigger questions. Kourtney Kardashian Barker is the latest celeb to capitalize on the craze: Her wellness brand, Lemme, has introduced a new line of colostrum gummies purported to support gut health, promote healthy digestion, manage bloating, and enhance “full-body wellness.”Made from the milk-like substance secreted in late pregnancy and the first few days of breastfeeding, colostrum—normally only consumed by infants and other baby mammals, like calves—is being touted as a magic bullet for…
The Menace Podcast host, Dennis James was joined by Milos Sarcev and Jose Raymond for Episode 258 of The Menace Podcast, and while much of the show was devoted to picking apart the recent Poland Pro, the boys engaged in a little fantasy flexing when James asked Raymond how he thought a peak Sarcev might fair in today’s Classic Physique division. It was only a couple of weeks ago, during Episode 255 that Milos “The Mind” Sarcev expressed his affection for the current state of the Men’s Physique division. Of course, Sarcev was a staple in the Open division before…
The older we get, the less time we spend on the floor, therefore reducing our ability to handle our bodyweight and get back off the floor. If you haven’t had to push the full weight of your body in decades, it’s understandable that it would be a difficult task. Since pushups are the most cost-effective and easiest way to strengthen the chest, it’s inconvenient when the exercise is so hard to do. Here’s a smarter way to build up your chest strength safely—starting where you are and working your way up. 4 Chair Exercises That Strengthen Legs Faster Than Squats…
Whether you don’t live near a cycling studio or you want all the benefits of low-impact cardio right from your living room, indoor cycling is one of the most popular ways to work out at home — and for good reason. Not only are at-home bikes relatively compact, but cycling strengthens your lower body, lowers your risk of heart disease, and improves your posture, all without the high impact of other cardio options (such as running). If you’re in the market to buy an indoor cycling bike, you might be surprised at just how much variety there is to choose…
Growing up, Russell Brunson was, self-admittedly, not “into” books. “I remember going to bookstores with my mom and being like, ‘Why would somebody come here?’” he says, laughing. Those who meet Brunson today might find that hard to believe. As the multihyphenate founder of a robust roster of companies (most notably the sales software company ClickFunnels), he’s a New York Times bestselling author and bona fide bibliophile. In the past three years alone, he’s purchased more than 18,000 books. Today, these tomes are (literally and metaphorically) the story behind his success. It began in college, after he started his first…
With a YouTube channel that boasts more than two billion views, AreYouKiddingTV’s Joey Gizzi and Steven Lannum are using their platform to empower men’s health issues. In November, the social media stars will partner with the Prostate Cancer Foundation for ‘Movember.’ So, M&F logged on with the dynamic duo to learn more, and we soon found out that the guy’s work has them reflecting on their own health journeys. Gizzi and Lannum first met as freshman students at Elon University in North Carolina, and bonded fast. Their love of video production would lead to a partnership that saw them begin…
Forget the idea that squats are the only path to strong legs, especially once you’re past 55. Squats get a lot of attention, but they also come with drawbacks, including knee discomfort, tight hips, or poor form that stacks pressure where your body doesn’t want it. The truth is, you don’t need to load up your joints with extra weight to build leg strength that matters. You just need smart movements and the right positioning, and that’s exactly what a basic chair brings to the table. With just a chair, you can challenge your quads, hamstrings, calves, and stabilizing muscles…
Call it a cautionary tale of modern dating: The “mama’s boy” is an archetype we are warned to avoid. But is that for good reason?Of course, being close to a parent isn’t inherently a problem, Rachel Sussman, LCSW, a New York City–based therapist and the author of The Breakup Bible: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Healing from a Breakup or Divorce, tells SELF. In fact, “a lot of guys text or talk to their parents every day. That alone isn’t a red flag.” The “mama’s boy,” culturally speaking, is distinct: not just a loving, doting son, but an emotionally stunted…
