Most videos of wingsuit flyers are inherently crazy — it just so happens that is the nature of humans imitating flying squirrels. But, a recent video by Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet (aka the “Soul Flyers”) raises the bar on that inherent absurdity. The video shows them BASE jumping from the top of a mountain and flying themselves to a mid-air landing through an open plane door. Jumping from the top of the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland, the crew planned and prepared for the stunt for months....

High-intensity interval training involves performing an all-out, exhaustive physical effort for a short time followed by a short, sometimes active, recovery. Intervals of aerobic HIIT have been shown to increase VO2max compared to continuous aerobic training, even though HIIT workouts take less time to complete. Furthermore, a 2013 Journal of Strength and Conditioning study found that four weeks of HIIT rowing burned more body fat than traditional rowing. Effective HIIT training will help you torch calories, build lean muscle, lose fat, improve heart health, push your limits, and increase efficiency....

Wanna start a fight? Walk into a room filled with strength coaches, personal trainers, and exercise physiologists, and ask how many reps per set you should be doing to build muscle—or the ideal number of sets, or when to opt for heavier weights. Then take cover.

A salvage diver in South Africa came extremely close to having his head bitten off by a massive great white shark, if the incredible video footage is to be believed, and at least one shark expert has no reason not to believe it. The video was first shared by Dennis Dempsey on the SA Spearfishing Facebook page but has since been taken down. Youngbloods, an Australian ocean adventure group, also posted the footage, as did Ocean Imaging Action, but with very few details, as reported by WA Today and the Mirror:...
