Matt Damon hasn’t hosted Saturday Night Live in over 15 years, but that long break didn’t stop the actor from showing strong comedic chops over the weekend. Damon appeared in nearly every skit throughout his episode of SNL, but one of those skits stood out above the rest. Matthew McConaughey Is Reinventing Himself—Again Read article In one of the pre-taped video skits from the show, Damon and a bunch of the SNL cast, including Kenan Thompson, Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, and Pete Davidson, hilariously impersonated celebrities doing an “audition” to be the new Academy Awards host for the next ceremony....

Amid the larger national struggle in U.S. public lands conservation, many smaller municipalities are re-envisioning water and land use on a local level. The idea is simple: The closer and more accessible the natural spaces, the more people will experience and build relationships with them — and when the time comes, protect those places. The city of Corvallis, Oregon, recognizes the economic, social, and environmental benefits of building access to and recreational opportunities on their local waterway....

There’s a big misconception that chiropractors want to do away with: “Most patients arrive at their first appointment with the assumption that as a chiropractor I only specialize in injuries of the spine and they’ll be getting their backs ‘cracked,’” says Ian Nurse, D.C., a Boston-based chiropractor and owner of Wellness in Motion Boston.

“My character isn’t prepared for what awaits him in the movie, so I made the choice not to do to preparation,” Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen recently told Men’s Journal, speaking about his highly-anticipated survival epic Arctic. “I signed on and two months later I was dropped into this remote tundra landscape.” The Best Streamlined Down Jackets for Winter Adventures Read article In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies...

Canadian photographer Mike Monaghan was on a monthlong solo canoe trip in northwestern Ontario’s remote Woodland Caribou Provincial Park when he captured an iconic image of the North Woods. In a self-portrait (pictured below), Monaghan sits on a granite lakeshore at twilight, leaning against his canoe in the glow of a campfire. His tent is set up in the background. That very evening, Monaghan says a lone woodland caribou (an Ontario endangered species) wandered through his campsite....

The sight of so many large, white critters spanning the Wrangel Island slope reminded tourists of grazing sheep. But the remarkable scene featured polar bears in a gathering more than 200 strong, lured by the scent of a whale carcass that had drifted into the shallows. Expedition members marvel at the sight of polar bears feasting on a dead whale.

You’re not alone if waking up before dawn, putting on a pair of tiny shorts, and grinding out the mileage prescribed by a training plan doesn’t get you excited about running. You’re also not alone if you run but kind of hate it—or go through phases where running feels more like a “have-to” than a “get-to.” But listen up: Running doesn’t have to suck. The key to unlocking enjoyable miles is knowing yourself well and playing to your strengths....

Canadian adventurer, photojournalist and filmmaker Frank Wolf has made an annual habit of tackling audacious canoe expeditions in the Canadian wilderness. His only rule in selecting a trip: Never paddle the same route twice. Wolf is a tireless traveler, putting in long days to average 25 miles per day in challenging terrain defined by unmarked portages, heavy whitewater and windswept lakes. Wolf teamed up with Ryan Bougie for his 2018 epic, which traced the north shore of Great Slave Lake before following the traditional Pike’s Portage route inland to the Barrens....

Just like any other professional sport, golf requires diligent practice and proper training to evoke a successful performance. Duffers in the old days may have looked more Caddyshack than Commando, but no longer: Golfers like Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, and even 62-year-old Greg Norman are hitting the gym hard, and hitting their drives even harder as a result. Golfer Alex Noren clearly is a proponent of the “no pain, no gain” principle, but may have taken things a little too far when he was training for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship....

Looking for a new horse? Now’s your chance to tame a wild mustang: Beginning on October 10, 1,000 of the estimated 3,900 wild horses in Modoc National Forest will be rounded up and put up for adoption or sold, according to a US Forest Service press release. The overpopulation of wild horses in and around the forest is putting their entire habitat in danger due to overgrazing and overtaxing the area’s limited water supply....

For centuries, Eastern medicine has embraced ginger for its healing properties, and current research has revealed why it works. The root may act as an anti-inflammatory by blocking prostaglandins—hormone-like compounds that cause muscle contractions—which quell post-workout soreness, says Christopher Black, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist at the University of Oklahoma. The 8 Best Pre-Workout Foods Read article It’s the same pathway that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin take. Having ginger before exercising may make it even more effective....

Ryan Reynolds has been the fit guy as long as we’ve seen him onscreen. So when he first suited up as the titular character of the superhero comedy Deadpool, the role didn’t exactly really require a body transformation. Instead, his longtime trainer Don Saladino of Drive 495 worked to bulk him up while building up cardio so that he would be able to pull off the movie’s insane action sequences. UPDATE: Reynolds is coming back for Deadpool 3!...

As we age, it can seem like our bodies are breaking down. We lose our hearing, our vision, our mobility, and our memory. We develop back pain, neck pain, diabetes, and depression. But one recent study, published in Cell, suggests calorie restriction is a comprehensive way to solve most aging ails. Aging, the study’s authors say, is to blame for the functional decline of tissues in the body—a process that can be delayed, though not stopped, by caloric restriction....

People who are trying to lose weight often confront the same problem: They lose enough weight to get close to their goals, and then their progress totally stalls. They wind up stonewalled, five pounds short of their ideal body weight. The solution: A strong weight-loss program. As in many pursuits, it takes a lot of dedication and focus to lose weight. And while weight-loss is often highly personal (more on that in a bit), you can make significant progress by drilling into details, being brutally honest with your daily habits, and figuring out exactly how much you should be (and are) eating every day....
