Protect your extremities Most of your body heat is lost through your head and hands, so gloves and hat are a must. Make sure whatever you pick is compressible, so you can shove ’em into a pocket or your waistband if you get too hot....

Getting a good night’s sleep is certainly one of the best ways to keep yourself healthy and in good shape, but more than 30% of Americans don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of slumber a night, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Men’s Fitness executive editor Zack Zeigler always knew the Iceland Ultra would be the most difficult Spartan Race to date, but the rugged Icelandic terrain, slushy wintry mix, and few hours of daylight have him second-guessing whether he’ll reach his goal of 30 miles in 24 hours.

If you live in one of the states getting slammed by cold front after cold front (and that so-called “bomb cyclone”), you’d probably scoff at anyone considering 40-degree lows as freezing. But for Floridians, the drop in temperature is something to worry about: It’s causing iguanas to rain from the sky, The Guardian reports. Nearly Three Quarters of America Experiencing Widespread Flu Activity Read article Well, sorta. Iguanas are cold-blooded creatures that don’t adapt too well to drops in mercury....

Bhutan famously wrote the concept of Gross National Happiness into its constitution in 2008, but the recent opening of five lodges by wellness-focused hotelier Six Senses is upping visitors’ endorphins in a much more tangible way. The properties are spread over five distinct valleys, and each is stunning in its own right, but its lodge just outside the capital city of Thimphu may be the most spectacular.

Over the weekend, the Ford Motor Company launched its newest member of the legendary Mustang family of cars: the Ford Mustang Mach E, an electric SUV. As the only electric SUV to bear the Mustang name, it’s something of a black sheep in the stable—but like its gas-powered siblings, it’s built for performance. Ford claims in a press release that the GT Performance Edition of the Mach E will be able to reach 60 mph in “the mid-3-second range,” about the same as a Jaguar I-Pace and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid....

David Harbour doesn’t look like your typical leading man. Standing at 6’3”, gruff, square-jawed, and built like a redwood, he looks closer to a white-collar henchman than a hero. But that quality is exactly what made him the secret weapon as Police Chief Jim Hopper in Netflix’s sleeper hit Stranger Things. Somehow, despite over a decade’s worth of Broadway and Hollywood credits, Harbour managed to stay just enough under the radar to surprise the binge-watching audience of the supernatural mystery series....

Lou Ferrigno reached bodybuilding legend status in his prime, going toe-to-toe with Arnold Schwarzenegger himself on the Olympia stage and playing the Incredible Hulk in the days before CGI was around to turn a man into a jade-jawed monster. It goes without saying that Ferrigno has always taken his workouts seriously, and at 67 years old, he still hits the gym hard to stay in killer shape. Given his wealth of knowledge when it comes to building and maintaining muscle, it’s no surprise that Ferrigno shares training tips and videos on Instagram from time to time....

Alicia Vikander knew the work that was going to go into becoming the new Lara Croft for the Tomb Raider franchise.

Thirty-five years ago, this month, professional boxing was rolling. Muhammed Ali had finally thrown in the towel following multiple ill-advised comebacks, and Sugar Ray Leonard had embarked on one of his periodic retirements, but the sport remained a ratings and financial bonanza replete with stars like Roberto Duran, Michael Spinks, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Hector Camacho and Larry Holmes. Fights were a network TV staple, with an average of several televised bouts per weekend....

You’re well-acquainted with the foam roller, but there’s a myofascial release tool that true back relief aficionados always have on hand: a lacrosse ball. You can use it to relieve the muscles along your spine, but it’s also great for your shoulders, obliques, and the iliac crest, a tendon that wraps from your back to your front hip. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies For shoulder relief, stand facing a wall and position the ball in the soft part under the collarbone, next to the shoulder socket....

Hal Shouse knows where to find the pigs. The proprietor of HogSWAT, a Georgia-based pig-control operation and outfitter, he’s riding in the back of a blacked-out Chevy Express van, somewhere between Americus and Albany, with three sound-suppressed AR-15 rifles racked and ready behind him. Shouse’s longtime buddy and top guide, Max Shifler, is at the wheel, navigating the back roads by headlights. There’s no music playing, but if there were, it would surely be Motörhead or, better yet, Slayer....

In 2000, Matthew Klam was the literary equivalent of Rookie of the Year, publishing Sam the Cat, a collection of stories that prompted the New Yorker to call him one of the top 20 writers under 40. Now, finally, we have the novel Klam’s fans hoped he had in him: Who Is Rich? is the story of an extramarital tangle between a self-lacerating graphic novelist and a one-percenter Connecticut mom. It’s both bleak and joyous, creeping between the isolation of a fuckless marriage and the elusive thrill of the affair....

It was only fitting. The Trident Ultra 4.3’s playful nature craves big water. At 14 feet, it’s a shorter, slinkier option than its 2011 predecessor, the arrow-straight Trident Ultra 4.7.
