Steve Martin Is My Body Icon
I assume that there is an amount of working out, tanning, waxing, and grooming I could do in order to be a moderately more handsome person. I have no interest in doing this. My body icon isn’t a Hemsworth or a Tyrese. It’s Steve Martin, who has mastered the art of looking like the same person for as...
I Freakin' Love SoulCycle, Okay?
Confession: I like SoulCycle. More than “like,” even. I love it. ...
How To Eat Healthy, Even When A Cheeseburger Is <i>Right There</i>
One day you’ll decide to start giving a shit about your body, but that does not mean the world-at-large will help you along the way. That’s something I had to learn on my own—the friends and websites I consulted before changing my eating habits never mentioned how lonely it can be to try to lose wei...
How To Play Pickup Basketball Without Being A Pain In The Ass
For most of my adult life, I have managed to play basketball two or three times a week. I do this because it is significantly more fun than, say, spending a joyless half-hour on a worn treadmill in some windowless YMCA basement, and at 29, my knee still has yet to explode like poor Shaun Livingston’...

Everything was highly functional but had the vague look of di...
What Can You Get Out Of Using A Personal Trainer?
The image of a personal trainer is usually a chipper, sinewy person in expensive gym wear, ready to pump you up, catering to either serious athletes or folks with serious disposable income. This may be ... largely true, but even as a member of neither of those categories, it’s still be worth looking...
Compress Your Misery Into Intervals To Get Good Health
The king of excuses to avoid exercise is a lack of time. Sadly, the excuse will no longer apply—research has given us more reason to believe you can get a good workout in a trivial timeframe. In a new study, sedentary subjects who did one minute of high-intensity exercise saw the same health benefit...
Should You Upgrade Your Gym?
You’re not working out enough, and like any mature, self-aware person, you suspect it’s your gym’s fault, not your own. So you start browsing other options, but you’re also reluctant to shell out more cash. Though the employees pitching you on a shiny new gym will be trying to sell you a new “lifest...
I Don't Think This Is A Very Good Idea, Bryce Harper
I don’t work out, but I still feel comfortable saying that this looks like a pretty dumb way to exercise:...
Take Out Your Rage On The Rowing Machine
My problem with the gym has always been that I love cardio, but find it incredibly boring to do cardio in a room filled with other people doing cardio. Walking into a gym right after work alongside a rush of folks with the same idea isn’t very appealing in itself. Behold! A line of sweaty health dro...
