When I’m hungover, I crave one thing, and one thing only: Giant, steaming piles of greasy fast food. This is a problem, because I’m on a diet that doesn’t exactly allow me to binge on three burritos, two quesadillas and however many tacos I can stomach every time I...
There are a million reasons to ride your bike: Enhanced cardiovascular fitness; improved muscle strength and flexibility; increased joint mobility; reduced stress levels; upgraded posture and coordination; reinforced bones; decreased body fat levels; prevention (or management) of disease as well as reduced anxiety and depression.

Preparing for your own death is sort of like — well, it’s actually unlike anything else, because it means you have to come face-to-face with your own mortality (and admit that this is one fight you’re guaranteed to lose). It also means preparing for a world without you in...
Returning to the gym locker room can be even more intimidating than returning to the actual gym to achieve that summer body. For good reason, too: There are a bunch of new faces (with the same idea as you) who don’t yet understand the laws of the land,...
