With Netflix dominating the entertainment landscape over the last few years, it was only natural that the company would turn its sights to the wild, often hilarious world of reality competitions.

This season, the show brought in more than 100 contestants from six countries, all of them hoping to dominate “The Beast”—or, as Stallone describes it, the “most intense, physically demanding obstacle course ever devised”....

In an ideal world you’d be a gym-going guy. You’d lift barbells, hang from TRX straps, and everyone at the gym would know your name. After all, research consistently shows that when trying to lose weight, people who both eat right and exercise reap the best results. That’s largely because, besides burning that ring of fat around your middle, exercise keeps you building, rather than burning, muscle along with it. And we all know that when muscle goes kaput, so does your physique, metabolism, and, ultimately, your weight-loss success....

The ketogenic diet is is enjoying a surge of popularity these days and for good reason. Going “keto” can help you tap into your body’s stored fat—up to 100,000 calories of readily available energy—allowing you to push longer and harder during training without constantly refueling. Of course, this comes at a price: You have to eradicate nearly all carbohydrates from your diet and subsist on fats—they should make up 70 to 80 percent of what you eat—and protein....

Guys who hit the gym and end up just messing around don’t make much progress—especially if they’re not really following much of a plan. Of course, those guys who follow a consistent workout program and stick to it will make faster and bigger gains, but sports scientists are still researching how to build an optimal plan for overall fitness—and that challenge is probably best exemplified by the perennial debate over “training for strength” versus “training for endurance....

When Donald Trump hosted Saturday Night Live in 2015, shortly after labeling Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “criminals” on the campaign trail, some pissed-off dissidents projected his silhouette on 30 Rock alongside the words “Donald, Eres Un Pendejo.” Which loosely translates to, “Donald, you’re a butthole.” Ilegal Mezcal, the hip liquor brand run out of an abandoned theater on Manhattan’s Perry Street, claimed responsibility for the act. They’d similarly roasted Chik-Fil-A over its founder’s homophobia, blanketing New York with posters that depicted two roosters canoodling next to the slogan: “I’d rather kiss a cock than eat your chicken....

Dietary supplements have grown into a $122 billion industry, according to the Center for Responsible Nutrition, a lobbying group.

A new comprehensive meta-analysis of 277 clinical trials has found a wide range of nutritional supplements—and even some common diets—aren’t effective at preventing heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U....

Believe it or not, there are still undiscovered Caribbean islands—and none more so than Nevis, the 36-square-mile oasis 200 miles east of Puerto Rico.

In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies And its most unassuming and charming hideaway is Golden Rock Inn.

Close your eyes and imagine you’re barefoot at the beach, about to step off a boardwalk into some sand. Your foot sinks in—the granules rising to hug your arch.
