Tonio “The Predator” Burton grew up in Nevada and is looking forward to treading the boards in Las Vegas where he’ll go to war with the greatest names on the bodybuilding stage. Just weeks out from the 2025 Oympia final, Burton showed that he’s going all-in with his training, choosing a heavy incline press to pump up his pecs. Here’s how, and why he does it. “5 sets of tried to be 20,” quipped Burton in a recent Instagram post for his 200,000 followers. While he may have been joking, his words reveal a serious mentality of heading towards failure…
Think of balance as your body’s report card. By the time you’re 50, how steady you are on your feet is just as important as how strong your muscles feel or how flexible your joints move. A little wobble here and there might not seem like a big deal, but it’s often the first signal that your muscles, nervous system, and coordination aren’t firing like they used to. Balance is about more than avoiding falls. It’s about whether your body can react quickly, stabilize under pressure, and move with confidence in everyday life. Whether you’re stepping off a curb, carrying…
This is where the viral Squatty Potty—or something like it—comes into play. (Yes, they are scientifically proven to help.) Slide a stool (like this fancy one, or any of these) under your feet so your knees are above your hips, Barten says. Even a mini trash can can work—anything that prevents your legs from resting at a 90-degree angle.Take some calm, deep breathsNext, relax your body. Doing so can help ease tension in your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. When those areas are tight, there’s less room for stool to squeeze by, Dr. Rajapaksa says. When they’re calm and loose,…
Cracking open a hard-boiled egg for breakfast and moving on with your morning is tempting, especially if you’re tight on time, but doing so will probably leave you hungry sooner than you’d like. That doesn’t mean that you have to forgo them, though. Instead, keep eggs handy for high-protein snacking, or pair them with another protein source for a complete meal. That could be two scrambled eggs with a quarter cup of Greek yogurt—which will add a couple grams and make them fluffier. Or add a poached egg to a salad that also has edamame, cheese, and beans, three other…
Many athletes can recall the first time they played a sport or did a workout and fell in love with it. That includes runners and the first time they felt that “runner’s high.” Hip-hop star and podcaster N.O.R.E. recalled his first run for two reasons. First, he made the snap decision to start and wasted no time acting on it. “I looked at myself in the mirror and didn’t like what I saw,” he recalled. “Most people see themselves and say that they are going to start on Monday or Tuesday. I told myself to start right now.” The other…
The ALO brand is best known for its cult-favorite crewneck pullovers, cozy sweatpants, sculpting workout leggings, and coordinating sets. As a devoted ALO fan and avid shopper, I was incredibly keen to test out its popular unisex running sneaker, which retails for $185. Plus, I happen to be a total sucker for a clean white set of kicks—especially at the start of a brand new season. They’re fresh, match every activewear fit in my wardrobe, and make fitness time feel a little extra special. According to its product description, the ALO Runner is true to size, provides heel support and…
I was in the middle of helping my mom out of her hospital bed to the bathroom when my son called and couldn’t find his cleats. Both of these tasks would have been manageable, except for the fact that my work email inbox had just passed 100 “unread” messages again. Each was occupying space in the back of my mind, and the word “drowning” kept flashing in front of my eyes, like a warning on a bomb that was about to explode. But the emergent and exhausting situation I found myself in, taking care of both the older and younger…
Your daily schedule may look like it’s completely full, but trust us: You still have time to move some weight. All it takes is 15 minutes and a set of dumbbells. Dumbbell complexes can help you toss out the office window any “no time to train” excuses you still may be latching onto. No racks, no machines, no wasted time— one pair of dumbbells, five moves, and a clock to keep you accountable. This 15-minute Every Minute On the Minute (EMOM) workout rotates through five dumbbell exercises, doing six reps of each at the start of every minute. The exercises…
A strong core demonstrates stability, balance, and control over your body. At 50, your ability to hold challenging positions says a lot more about your health than how many sit-ups you can crank out. These positions aren’t flashy, but they test deep levels of strength and control that directly connect to how you move in daily life. Think of your “biological age” as how young your body performs compared to your actual birthday age. If your muscles, joints, and nervous system still respond with the sharpness of someone younger, your biological age is lower. The opposite is also true—struggle with…
