Ora is a California-based health and nutrition company that creates a wide variety of protein powders, nutritional supplements, and other lifestyle maximizing products....

The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted the daily lives of everyone on the planet. For professional skiers, the premature end of ski season resulted in canceled film projects, expeditions put on hold, and a sudden decrease of work. To find out how the athletes leading our sport are coping with the pandemic and hear what they are doing to stay healthy and sane, we’re catching up with a few of them in a five-part interview series rolling out this week....

The entertainment business isn’t easy—but that hasn’t stopped Isaiah John. Like most young and aspiring actors, he needed to find a job that helped pay the bills while also allowing him to juggle auditions, casting calls, meetings, and even shoots that were in production. After an extensive job hunt and one bad experience, John found something that would work for him—being a janitor at a local gym. In his interview with Men’s Fitness, John tells Mike Simone about his role in FX’s new series Snowfall, shares what one bad employer told him, explains why his gym’s janitorial duties best supported his goals, and offers his personal take on working out and learning the body....

We’ve all been there: Standing in an aisle of home cleaning products, wondering why every air freshener and dish soap has those sweet, floral scents. Sure, they might smell nice, but if you wanted another option, there wasn’t much you could do. Archer founders John Bleeden, Todd Durston, and Berk Wasserman had the same thought—and they decided to do something about it. “As the main shoppers in our homes, we noticed a huge hole in the home products category for men,” Wasserman told Men’s Journal....

Michael B. Jordan is known for taking roles that challenge him physically. For Creed, the actor swore by a workout routine that spawned countless interviews, a short film, and one of this site’s most challenging workouts. Despite all we know about Jordan and his pre-movie training programs, we were still shocked to find out what he put himself through for his newest movie, Black Panther. In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jordan revealed that at the height of his training he’d go to the gym two to three times a day and eat six meals a day....

Yes, sitting is the new smoking, and that desk job might just kill you. But that’s not all. Sitting in front of a computer all day might also be causing you a lot of pain right now, in your hands and wrists. Carpal tunnel syndrome—characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in your hand caused by a compressed median nerve, a major nerve running through your wrist—is super-common, especially given the posture many of us maintain all day while pecking away at our keyboards....

It’s quiet and glassy out on the reef at Poche. Every 20 minutes or so a small, long-interval set dances unimpeded to the beach. Wayne Penn-Schafer sits comfortably in an easy chair. “In the beginning it was just a group of guys down here, no organization or anything,” Wayne tells ASN. He’s lived on Beach Road in Capistrano Beach, California, since 1953, when he first bought his slice of beachfront heaven for $5,500....

Blue zones, a term coined by best-selling author and researcher Dan Buettner, refer to regions with the longest-living people. Buettner set out to find corners of the globe with the highest numbers of centenarians, and after years of research, he identified five: Ikaria (Greece), Loma Linda (California), Sardinia (Italy) Okinawa (Japan), and Nicoya (Costa Rica). After pinpointing the five regions, he immersed himself in their cultures. Upon deep study of the regional lifestyles, he discovered nine common factors that he believes hold the secret to longevity....

It’s a debate pet owners have been raging about for years. Are cats smarter than dogs, or is it the other way around? While the debate has likely riled up some arguments among friends and family members, a group of scientists have put together some evidence to answer the question once and for all. As part of a study put together by a group of international scientists, researchers analyzed the brains of different animals, including cats and dogs, to see which animals had the highest number of neurons in their cerebral cortex....

Marijuana can help battle depression, anxiety, and addiction. But if pot’s your daily go-to, it could also have some less-than-stellar side effects. Some heavy weed smokers (20 days out of the month) may experience debilitating stomach pain, severe nausea, and vomiting—a condition called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome—according to research published in Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology. It’s something about 2.75 million Americans suffer from annually, researchers say. The 10 Best Weed Products For Adventurers...

Flying across time zones (usually eastward, or “against the clock”) can mess up your internal biological clock system. There’s nothing like a case of jet lag to put busy fliers down with cases of fatigue, insomnia, and irritability. Why the nasty side effects? Blame screwed-up circadian rhythms, or 24-hour cycles in the body’s systems. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to combat jet lag: wearing sunglasses, staying hydrated, strategic napping. Now we can add another one to the list....

Tignes, France—an enclave of five villages in the French Alps near the Italian border—is best known as a ski town, and no surprise. After all, high above Tignes sits the 11,995-foot Grande Motte Glacier, one of a handful of spots in the Alps where you can ski well into summer. But every year, as the temperatures rise and the slopes slowly melt, the town also turns into a hot spot for mountain bikers, as Nick Gowan can attest....

Washington Nationals star pitcher Gio Gonzalez enjoyed a very successful 2017 season. An integral member of the National League East champions’ starting rotation, the 32-year-old Gonzalez won 15 games and pitched to an ERA below 3. Despite posting arguably the best season of his career, Gonzalez is clearly not resting on his laurels. By the looks of his off-season training, No.47 may be looking for a World’s Strongest Man nomination to add to his two All-Star nods....

Halle Berry has always been in incredible shape and sported a gorgeous physique. But lately the star seems to have kicked it up a notch when it comes to her fitness routine. The mom of two looks decades younger than 51, and, even with great genetics, maintaining a physique as fit as Berry’s undeniably includes a solid exercise and diet regimen. Rather than keep fans guessing, Berry took to her Instagram account to introduce them to her “secret weapon”—trainer, martial artist, and actor Peter Lee Thomas....

A multitude of research suggests that spending an increased amount of time outside is beneficial for our health – not just our physical condition, but our mental and emotional wellness, too. As outdoor lovers, we all spend time connecting with nature – some of us have fewer opportunities than others (we understand your plight, 9-to-5’ers). But regardless of how flexible your lifestyle, you most likely don’t spend as much time outside as professional climber Emily Harrington and her boyfriend, big mountain skier, climber and guide Adrian Ballinger....

What’s the best burger you’ve ever had? Did you eat it at some roadside joint you’ve never been able to find again? Or maybe you discovered it on some list of best burgers in America. It’s also possible that the best you’ve ever had was one you simply made yourself, late one night, fried up in a pan. There are a thousand variables as to what makes a great burger, and taste is, of course, totally subjective....

This article originally appeared on Surfer.com and was republished with permission. Every heat is history. While the WSL has been jamming that phrase down our throats all damn year, with Italo Ferreira’s win over Gabriel Medina in the final of the Billabong Pipeline Masters on Thrusday in inconsistent (albeit occasionally pumping) 4- to 6-foot Pipe, it finally rang true. Knowing he had a lot of pre-event work to do if he was going to beat Medina at Pipe—last year’s Pipe/world champ—Ferreira showed up to Hawaii over a month ago, posting up in the oceanfront master bedroom of the Billabong house, surfing out front three times every day....
