Whisky adventurers of the internet, hear me: Kanya by Paul John is the one new experience you’ll want to have this year, especially if you’ve never tried Indian whisky. And also, especially, if you have. When a good whisky comes out of an unfamiliar market, it’s often released in such small volumes that the average drinker never gets to try it. Look at Japan: even decades after the world took notice of Suntory, its whiskies are nearly impossible to find in American markets—especially at the higher age and price points....

The Women’s Adventure Film Tour launched in May of 2017 to a sold-out crowd in Sydney, Australia. The films have been captivating audiences ever since by featuring some of the most inspiring and adventurous women in the world.

Since the first screening in 2017, the tour has since expanded outside of Australia and now includes showings in New Zealand, the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, India, and the USA/Canada....

Stuck at your desk all day? Then you know hard it is to fight flab and stay in shape. Get moving even while sitting with the HOVR, an ingenious desk swing that mounts under your desk and lets you keep moving while working. Right now it’s 40 percent off!

It has only been 60 years that climbers have been able to conquer the mystical wall of El Capitan within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park. The first successful ascent of El Cap took more than 45 days over an 18 month period. Since then, the legendary cliff face has continued to be one of the most prominent U.S. proving grounds for climbers from all around the world. In 2012 Alex Honnold and Hans Florine set the speed record for fastest climb of El Cap, doing it in 2 hours 23 minutes and 46 seconds....

Nestled between Egypt and Sudan, along the coast of the Red Sea, is an 800 square-mile patch of land unclaimed by either country. Which means, in theory anyway, anyone with the funds, access, and moxie to get there can claim the area as their own. MORE: How to Become a Member of the Explorers Club That’s what Indian tourist and adventurer Suyash Dixit accomplished last week. It took six hours, permission from the Egyptian military, and the threat of kidnapping by terrorists to reach the stark, sandy patch....

Looking to amp up the difficulty—and gains—from every exercise you do? Grab some sliders. “One of the most important aspects to strength and function centers around complex and compound movements, like squats and lunges,” says Holly Perkins, CSCS, author of Lift To Get Lean. Sliders are incredible because they provide instability to these movements, forcing your lesser-used stabilizer muscles to work alongside your prime movers. “It’s as though you’re able to super-charge any basic move by requiring 100 percent of the muscles in charge of a specific movement pattern,” Perkins adds....

If you’ve only seen the French Riviera in movies and paparazzi photos, you’ve seen nothing. Yes, the stunning Cote d’Azur—that glamorous, sunbaked coastal strip along the south of France named for its glittering turquoise waters—is a playground for Europe’s rich and famous, but even anyone can bask in the generosity of its year-round balmy temperatures and decadent French and Italian influences.

Nature is undeniably one of the most therapeutic and necessary components of human existence that we can experience. And everyone should have the freedom to experience it. But not everyone can access nature the same way. Take for instance the visually impaired. Something as simple as the most basic hiking trails could prove quite difficult without the proper infrastructure in place, which is why the online community Nature For All was started....

Story by Charli Kerns // Photos by Aaron Black-Schmidt Chattanooga, Tennessee is hands down one of the best paddling towns in the Southeast. From flatwater to Class V, the small mountain city has something for everyone whether it’s SUPing through the Tennessee River Gorge, steep creeking down Suck Creek, or convincing one of your best friends to paddle the iconic Ocoee River for her first-ever paddle. Glendra Craig grew up in Chattanooga and regularly visits her family, who all still live there....

MOVE OVER, Whole30. The newest weight-loss plan is the thing you hid from your parents in high school. Some scientists are linking tetrahydrocannabinol—or THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana—with weight loss. “People assume marijuana users are heavier because it stimulates appetite,” says Tom Clark, chair of the biological sciences department at Indiana University South Bend. Clark and his team analyzed 17 studies that included almost 156,000 participants, and found that pot users were lighter than the drug-free....

Around this time last year, you might have come across a bottle of Booker’s Rye at your local liquor store and done a double take And you would not have been blamed for thinking something like: “$300 for a bottle of rye whiskey that no one has ever tasted? They must be joking.” In fact, that was the sentiment in the comments section on a lot of whiskey review sites. But that’s before Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible named it the Whisky of the Year in mid-October....

Rowing is a discipline that, when done well, looks easy. It’s anything but. 8 New Ways to Use A Rower Read article Like swimming, rowing is a full-body sport, which explains why it can tire you out in minutes. “Because all major muscle groups are involved—legs, back, glutes, shoulders, arms, and abs—each stroke requires a lot of power, and you run out of oxygen very soon,” says Peter Mansfeld, the high-performance head coach at Vesper Boat Club in Philadelphia....

The difficulty with cardio training—high-intensity or slow and steady—is exerting the right effort. Every guy should be doing HIIT training, especially because most of us have so little time during the day to make room for exercise. But the problem is that we tend not to HIIT hard enough; getting to between 80 and 100 percent of your max heart rate is unpleasant, and the body prefers to avoid pain. That’s right; your high-intensity workouts aren’t intense enough....

When I fell off tour at Teahupoo in 2000-something I had set a personal challenge to requalify. The weight of that personal vendetta slowly grew until it became hard to carry around. I had linked my personal identity so tightly to this challenge I had stopped seeing why I had started in the first place … What putting a jersey on had become, more and more, was losing. As the dust settled after a humongous learning year I finished in a low-qualifying seed....

ON A FARM outside Tillatoba, Mississippi, Joe Wrenn is barefoot and shoeing a horse. Sweating in the summer heat, the 59-year-old cowboy uses a pick to remove dirt and manure from a hoof. “My grandfather taught me everything I know about horses,” says Wrenn, who’s sporting a belt buckle that bears the words “All Around Cowboy.” “My mama said he picked me up and carried me around on a horse when I was just a few days old....
