At a certain point in summer, your emotional support water bottle starts to feel a little uninspiring. The days are hotter, we are outside more, and between workouts, travel, beach days, and simply existing through a heat wave, staying hydrated suddenly requires a little more attention. The NIH recommends drinking extra fluids during hot weather, but that does not mean every sip has to come from the same bottle of lukewarm water you have been carrying around since breakfast. This summer, we are mixing things up. There is cold pressed fruit hydration straight from the fridge, an electrolyte formula made…

Five-time NCAA All-America track and field athlete, Anna Keefer, is now known globally by WWE fans as “Adriana Rizzo,” but swapping the track for the turnbuckle has required more than just a name change.

These five daily moves can make you stronger than most 40-year-olds. Strength after 60 has very little to do with your age and everything to do with how you move each day. I’ve trained people in their 60s and 70s who outperform adults twenty years younger because they’ve never stopped challenging their bodies. They don’t rely on complicated workout programs or expensive equipment. Instead, they consistently perform the movements that preserve muscle, improve mobility, and keep them capable in everyday life. Many people believe strength naturally disappears with age, but that’s only part of the story. The bigger factor involves…

We talk about time like it’s a hallway. The past is the part behind us, the present is the door we’re currently standing in, and the future is a hallway stretching out ahead, waiting to be walked. It’s a useful enough metaphor for a calendar. It’s a fairly bad description of what’s actually happening when you’re alive. Why “Now” Isn’t Where You Think It Is In his new book, Now What: You, Your Life, and the Truth You’ve Been Avoiding, Gary John Bishop makes a case that reframes the whole hallway metaphor: now isn’t a point moving through time. Now…

19 men have held the title of Mr. Olympia since the competition’s creation in 1965. It is considered the most elite club in bodybuilding and perhaps in any strength or physique sport. From 2005 until 2019, the Olympia called the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada its home. That is 15 editions of bodybuilding’s biggest weekend. No other venue has hosted the Olympia as many times in its illustrious history. The Orleans Arena was where the legacies of several champions were cemented, including Ronnie Coleman (who won his eighth and final title there), Jay Cutler, Dexter Jackson, Phil Heath, the…

Can you still pass these four strength tests after 50? Turning 50 doesn’t mean your strongest years belong in the past. In fact, I’ve worked with plenty of men in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s who outperform people decades younger because they’ve continued building functional strength. The key isn’t chasing one-rep maxes or spending hours in the weight room. It’s maintaining the strength, endurance, and stability needed to handle everyday life with confidence. When I assess a client’s fitness, I rarely start with heavy weights. Instead, I use simple movement tests that reveal how well the body works as…

Most of us know the feeling of doing everything “right”, eight hours of sleep, a quiet evening, no obvious crisis, and still waking up depleted. According to Dr. Carli Axford, founder of the Spinal Flow Technique, that’s because sleep and true rest are not the same thing, and the difference comes down to what the body is still holding. In the first part of our conversation, Dr. Carli explained what somatic healing is and how the body stores stress, often for years, as physical blockages along the spine. Here, she turns to what we can actually do about it: why…

You know that feeling after training lunges and split squats? That’s when you’ll think of your adductors. Suddenly, those sore “inner thigh muscles” are at the top of your thoughts.  But the adductors are not just the muscles you should remember after leg day. If your knees cave during squats, your hips shift under load, your groin gets cranky, or your lateral movement looks shaky, your adductors need work, not just a few half-hearted reps on the yes-no machine. In order to give the adductors are getting all the love they deserve, here’s what’s coming up: What they are and…
