Tom Hardy’s a fighter in the new comic book flick Venom. That much is clear from the trailers and clips that show him going head-to-head with police and supervillains. To prep for the film, Hardy trained in boxing, jiu-jitsu, and mixed martial arts with professional fighters.

Trying to whittle down the best clips of the year is not an easy feat. In fact, it would be quite maddening having to sift through 12 months worth of searing carves, dizzying airs and rodeo levels of foam-ball wrangling to identify the creme de la creme. Luckily, we took it upon ourselves to identify the 10 best clips each and every month this year, meaning we didn’t have drive ourselves insane while compiling the 25-minute edit above, featuring the 120-best clips of 2019....

Halting your normally active lifestyle for two weeks might not sound like a big deal. But a new study shows it’s enough time to produce real changes in your body, and they can increase your risk of heart disease and Type-2 diabetes — even if you’re a young, healthy guy. Researchers from the University of Liverpool recruited 28 men and women in their mid-twenties. None were gym rats, but all were regularly physically active, averaging 10,000 steps a day....

Keanu Reeves sure loves his motorcycles. The John Wick star took some time ahead of filming the third film of the franchise to work on a Super Bowl ad campaign with Squarespace. Squarespace previously helped Reeves build a website for his company, Arch Motorcycle, so now he’s returning the favor for the big game. The ad channels the “Sad Keanu” meme from a few years ago, and shows Reeves camping out in the desert in one ad, then riding a motorcycle down the road in another....

Standup paddleboards are great for many things: surfing, whitewater paddling, downwinding, touring, racing or just enjoying a day on the water. But there’s one thing they aren’t so great for: being carried. With the exception of inflatables or smaller surf SUPs, standup paddleboards are generally fairly heavy and bulky. For folks with less upper body strength, that means picking the board up via the deck handle can be a challenge. Luckily, there’s more than one way to lift and carry a SUP....

Francisco Cantù started to dream about finding bodies in the desert. He had joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 2008, right after finishing college, to experience working in the scrublands of the Southwest. He was also fluent in Spanish and the descendant of Mexican immigrants; he would be well-positioned, he thought, to help the men, women, and children who too often met harsh fates while crossing to the U.S. But the realities of the job soon began to weigh on him....

You’ve probably heard it before: all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. If you’re a whiskey (and especially bourbon) drinker, you need to know what that means. By definition, whiskey (or whisky, in Scotland) is a spirit distilled from fermented grain mash—grain varieties include wheat, rye, barley, and corn—and then aged in wooden barrels. Whiskey is made all over the world and there are many popular styles including Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, and American whiskey....

As annoying as pimples and blemishes are, they’re still less annoying than ingrown hair. Ingrowns appear when a hair grows back into the skin, and they’re especially common in anyone with coarse or curly hair. They usually happen after shaving, and can become painful, red and inflamed. In short, they’re not great news. Ingrown hairs can’t be treated the same way as pimples: While pimples are the byproduct of dirt and oil trapped deep underneath the skin, ingrowns are just hair trapped underneath the surface of our skin and are treated as foreign objects....

Earlier this year, Qantas, Australia’s largest air carrier, announced it was testing the world’s longest flight—a 19-hour, non-stop journey from New York to Sydney. The company is also exploring a similar “ultra-long-haul,” as it’s dubbed these routes, between London and Sydney. But 19 hours on a plane can’t be good for you, right? “The main problems on a long flight relate to disturbing your body’s normal circadian rhythms,” says Dr. Margaret Allman-Farinelli of the University of Sydney....

That’s when Backcountry Hunters & Anglers gathers for its annual three-day Rendezvous, with camo-clad history lessons, camp cook-offs featuring meals like Arizona javelina, and lectures on the finer points of field-dressing an ungulate.
