No matter the destination, be it the office or the gym, you should carry a day bag with you. And maybe you already have one.

Above everything else when it comes to a backpack, you want plenty of space. Whatever your needs are, you gotta make sure the bag you get can handle what you throw in it....
Netflix’s first delve into the big-budget action movie realm is nearing its release. Will Smith’s Bright is slated to hit the streaming service later this month, and so it’s rolled out a very cool behind-the-scenes glimpse at the movie. The Netflix original is a $90-plus million project, and is getting the full roll-out treatment prior to its release. Despite being limited to streaming, the Smith-fronted fantasy-drama is pretty legit. In addition to the hefty price tag, the film is directed by Suicide Squad‘s David Ayer....

Up until recently, when runners talked about stability shoes, they usually had one idea in mind: a thick, hefty shoe with firm foam inserts in the midsole to keep your feet from rotating inwards as you run (also known as overpronating). While those shoes worked for well for some, they came with a few serious trade-offs, like high weight and low flexibility. But the pendulum has begun to swing in the other direction, with more brands designing stability shoes that provide a less intrusive variety of support....
One of our favorite things about fall (apart from the cooler nights and changing leaves and feeling of invigoration in the air) is all of the new gear that hits the shelves. Summertime is all about shedding layers – it’s too hot to think of wear anything with sleeves, let alone baselayers and midlayers and beanies, and so on. It’s time to get your feet ready for fall. Photo: Nahuel Hawkes/Unsplash Fall is when all of that starts to change....

Story: Claire Cripps // Photos: Braden Gunem The chances seemed slim. Discovering a car full of dead bodies and a million dollars slim. That latter scenario even seemed more likely than the near-impossible chances of floating Muddy Creek. Set in the remote and arid desert of southeast Utah, the location and timing conspired against any paddling excursion on the obscure creek. Especially if you prefer a decent flow and the absence of backcountry boat-scootin’....
Any athlete has probably been told at one point or another that the best way to recover after a particularly strenuous lifting session, game, or run is to ice the muscles you know will be hurting come the next morning. But that may not actually be true. In fact, just the opposite may be the case: Warming up your muscles, rather than cooling them down, might be a more effective recovery method, according to new research published in the Journal of Physiology....
Living in America ain’t cheap. Just look at the Consumer Price Index, the weighted average cost of vital consumer goods and services, including food, medical expenses, and transportation. It rose by 2.5% from 2016 to 2017, the highest one-year rise since 2012. Meaning, it’s more expensive to live in the U.S. now, relatively speaking, than it was then. Which is why you need to know how to pull the most coin from your profession....
Sebastian Salsbury just returned from a trail running camp on Oregon’s Mount Hood. “It was pretty difficult,” he told GrindTV. “I ran half marathons the first two days, then an ultramarathon, then another half marathon, then 8 miles on the last day.” Salsbury is 11 years old. The rest of the youth runners at the Max King Youth Trail Running Camp were, on average, 17. But Salsbury already has a few miles under his feet....
James Harden, the Houston Rockets’ prolific point guard and fashion-forward, beard-sporting, L.A.-bred 2017 NBA MVP runner-up is about to drop the first colorway for his new Adidas lifestyle sneaker line, Harden LS. The new line evolved from the Harden Vol. 1, the player’s signature basketball shoes, and comes in four colorways (orange, pink, white, and black) that are meant to represent the different aspects of Harden’s lifestyle and L.A. roots....

Let’s face it: Lots of people are worthy of having their faces chiseled into the side of a mountain. Is Fast and Furious star Paul Walker one of them? According to some folks in San Clemente, CA, the answer is a resounding yes. “One of the Dakotas has Mount Rushmore,” stated a Walker fan in a TV interview. “We could have Mount Paul Walker. If we just put our hearts into this, I know we could get it done....
Showcasing from the floor of the recent 2018 Paddlesports Retailer trade show, Advanced Elements‘ Ryan Pugh runs through the California-based manufacturers’ updated 13-foot packable touring kayak. As Pugh calls it, the AirFusion EVO is a “true hybrid” by combining an aluminum keel beam — which provides structure and a defined V-shape hull for the outer polyurethane skin — with integrated drop-stitch inflatable air chambers that create surprising rigidity. The result is a nimble and more-than-capable day-touring kayak with great tracking ability and a simple method for setup — and breakdown to a suitcase size....

Single-use plastic straws might not seem like it, but they are some of the most harmful products to the environment. Americans use and discard up to 500 million plastic straws each day. They’re extremely difficult to recycle because of their size, which also poses a serious threat to marine wildlife. Organizations like Lonely Whale have brought this issue to the environmental forefront in the past few years. They were instrumental in getting the city of Seattle to ban the single-use plastic straw starting in July of this year – Seattle will become the largest metropolitan city to do so....
As I cruised up Mount Hamilton at 28 miles per hour, my feet were still – the pedals two steadfast points, juxtaposed by the swiftly passing landscape. I shivered. The temperature was dropping, hovering at 35 degrees, and I had left my puffy stowed in my backpack, preferring to ride in my jean jacket (à la James Dean). I was, after all, on a bike modeled after his era: one of freedom, rebellion, and classic style....
