There’s a great deal known about the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.—about his life; about how he championed, advanced, and fought for the cause of Civil Rights in the United States; and about his untimely death.

But with new packraft models surpassing heavier inflatable kayaks in whitewater capability, packrafters have been tackling rivers that used to be reserved for rafts or kayaks. Latest case-in-point, a recent all-packraft descent of the Grand Canyon with filmmaker Luc Mehl and friends. Big waves, big holes, small boats, and (a few) big swims....
Ask yourself these questions to decide whether you and your (potential) new doctor can build a healthy relationship. 1. Did it take months to book an appointment, then forever to be seen? How long it takes to snag an appointment and how long you wait once you’re there can reveal a lot about future visits: At 10 a.m., is he already two hours behind? Ain’t nobody got time for that. 2....

Humans are social animals for sure—we need to be around other people, interacting and socializing to have a healthy emotional life. Studies have shown that isolation and lack of human contact can negatively affect everyone from infants not given affection to hardened criminals in solitary confinement. And a recent AARP survey on loneliness found that more than 43 million Americans over the age of 45 are estimated to be chronically lonely, and, according to the latest census data, trends in the population are skewing toward less marriage and kids, and more living alone....

With all of the buzz around the use of functional, total body exercises, targeted abdominal exercises have taken a back seat in the exercise programming of many strength coaches and personal trainers. Sure, the core is important, but by working with total-body moves, trainers and coaches argue that the core is being worked constantly throughout the workout, negating the need for isolation work like crunches. For most lifters, this may be a welcoming change to the end of their routine, as plenty of guys prefer to hit the sauna rather than lie on the mat and rep out some crunches....

Having set a world record by climbing 50,000 feet in 24 hours in 2006, climbing (and skiing) 2 million vertical feet in the same year in 2010, and climbing 330,000 feet in a single month in 2014, Hill is no stranger to extreme challenges. And two years ago, after realizing the negative impact that some of these adventures were having on the environment, Hill set out to summit 100 peaks without the use of any fossil fuels of any kind....

The food that you eat will be the No.1 obstacle when trying to achieve your fitness goals. Whatever your diet plan—Paleo, vegan, low-carb, high-protein—consistency will be the hardest challenge.
