What should I avoid eating after workout? As soon as a workout is complete you want to replenish the calories and nutrients lost during that workout. The foods that hinder this are high-fat and -fiber foods. The fat and fiber in any food will slow the absorption of the nutrients needed to replenish glycogen stores that supply us with energy to work out again the next day. Grab a protein shake with some fruit....

Being an Alaskan smokejumper might be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Like firefighters, smokejumpers are brought in to battle wildfires and other fire-related incidents—except they’re not coming in on a siren-blaring truck. They’re jumping out of planes. On the Front Lines of America’s War on Fire Read article “Smokejumpers parachute in to remote places to quickly put out fires while they’re still small,” says photographer Mark Thiessen, who recently embedded with a team of smokejumpers in Alaska for the May 2019 issue of National Geographic....
A day touring in Rocky Mountain National Park, a ripe place to learn about avalanche safety. Photo: Mattie Schuler Heading into the backcountry requires a lot of preparation ahead of time — taking an avalanche safety class, identifying a safe route, creating a trip plan, and making sure you have your probe, beacon, and shovel. Plus, you’ll need snacks, extra layers, and some other safety gear (first aid, headlamp, and plenty of water)....
Matthew McConaughey is no stranger to transforming for a movie role. He lost a massive amount of weight for his Oscar-winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club, gained weight for his role in Gold, and grew out a mullet to play the father of an FBI informant in the true-life story White Boy Rick. So it’s no surprise to see McConaughey completely lean into his performance in The Beach Bum, where he plays a poetry-writing stoner alongside Zac Efron, Isla Fisher, Snoop Dogg, and Jimmy Buffett....

The human revulsion against eating insects stems mostly from the fact that bugs are a constant part of our lives, creeping and crawling around our house, yard, car, and office. (Also, for the record: Spiders are not insects, nor are we recommending that people eat spiders.) Insects move weirdly. They’re sort of alien, in a way. And while insects aren’t really that different from shrimp or lobster—which people will pay handsomely to serve at fancy parties—most Westerners don’t really want to think about getting protein from bugs....
Every actor knows that taking on a new role often doesn’t just require mental preparation, but a total-body physical transformation, too—and in some cases, those transformations are extreme. Tom Hardy bulked up like crazy to play Bane. Mark Wahlberg gained more than a few pounds for Deepwater Horizon. Christian Bale gained and lost…and gained again. Point is, there’s no shortage of Hollywood heavyweights willing to put their bodies on the line to get camera-worthy....

Dawn is barely a suggestion as Scott Eastwood paces around his driveway, throwing fishing gear into the back of a GMC pickup. Wetsuits. Dive tanks. Three well-used wooden spearguns. It’s pitch-black at 6 a.m., and Eastwood hasn’t even had coffee, but he’s surprisingly chipper. “This is a gentleman’s start,” he says, peeling a banana. “During tuna season, we’ll go out at 3:30 or 4. Fish all day. By the time you get home at night, you’re absolutely destroyed....
GEAR FOR THE LONG HAUL: TIPS AND TRICKS FOR FINE-TUNING YOUR SUP ACCESSORIES Paddlers fall into two gear camps: Those that obsess over every item, seeking golden bits of information to gain any sliver of performance on the water or an extra year of longevity in the garage; and those that could care less and just want to paddle that board now, factory fins and all. Wherever you fall on the gear-geek spectrum, understanding the basics of optimizing and maintaining your hard-earned equipment will take you a long way....
Colorado’s pioneering single malt whiskey distillery Stranahan’s is about to release a sherry cask finished gem of a bottle for less than $100, and it might forever change the way you look at American single malts.

We actually tasted Stranahan’s Sherry Cask last year at the distillery’s first annual Cask Thief festival, and it was our favorite of several projects that master distiller Rob Dietrich offered up (others included port and rum casks)....
THE KETCHIKAN SKIES were clear on the afternoon of May 13, and Mountain Air Service’s owner and sole pilot, Randy Sullivan, was doing what he did every spring: flying tourists through Alaska’s Misty Fjords National Monument. His four passengers that day were off the Royal Princess, a megaship carrying nearly 5,000 guests and crew, and they’d purchased their tickets for Sullivan’s air taxi service while the ship was docked in the coastal community....
Sayulita is the perfect place for a mellow surf trip.

Bulky biceps and horseshoe triceps are awesome, sure, but contrary to popular belief among beginner standup paddlers, there are far more important muscles to a strong SUP stroke. While Hulk-like guns are certainly helpful, proper stroke technique relies on a symphony of the body’s muscles working together through each phase of the stroke. If you’re doing it right, your back and core will actually be doing most of the work, which is a relief since those tend to be much stronger muscle groups than the arms....
