We have sort of a running joke at Men's Fitness that once you start working here, you quickly fall into the worst shape of your life. I'd guess that there's a similar problem where you work. Here are a few ideas on how to not let a stressful job and long hours wreck your fitness.Train in the morning. Yeah, I know. You "can't" get up early (waaah, waaah!). I decided to start doing it when I first began working at MF, after years of hitting the gym after five o'clock. A year later, I still hadn't gotten used to it. Two years later, I still hadn't gotten used to it. To tell you the truth, I'm not used to it[...]

There's probably no other pursuit that people enter into with more ignorance than lifting weights. If you wanted to plant a garden, you wouldn't just throw some seeds aimlessly in your backyard and pour water on them. If you wanted to tune up your car, you wouldn't start tooling on it with a monkey wrench and hope for the best. That would be stupid, right?So why do people take such a cavalier and illogical attitude when it comes to their own bodies? Especially when the activity is lifting dense iron objects that have the potential to crush your face. It's idiotic. Going into the gym with no plan and doing what you feel like, or worse, thinking you know exactly what to[...]

From guest blogger Amanda Amann (MF's Auto Babe)Christmas came early for me this year. And how you ask...The Los Angeles Auto Show. I was waiting for the doors to open like it was a New Kids On The Block concert in 92'. I assume not too many of you know what I'm talking about--but you get the idea. Of course, I started with the exotic vehicles. The Ferrari F430 was absolutely stunning. Porsche unveiled the new Boxter in a traditional candy apple red. Mercedes released the GLK Urban Whip which scream super-masculinity. If you want to feel like 50 Cent drive this for a day. Groupies are sold separately. Ford released the Ford Fusion, which is known for it's[...]

The NBA Through Unpaid Eyes

The NBA Through Unpaid Eyes is a weekly blog by Men's Fitness intern extraordinaire and wealth of basketball knowledge Collin Orcutt.**The two statements expressed about Collin's intern and basketball prowess are not necessarily those of MF. Nor are the necessarily correct. Except for the unpaid part. It seems like every year the NBA season starts off with a ton of hype but within a few weeks the excitement wanes. Blame it on the NFL and college football ramping up, college basketball tipping off, or the NBA season's freshness fading away. Whatever the reason, it seems like it's not until All-Star Weekend that the NBA regains fan's undivided attention. This season, though, there's been more than enough drama to keep even[...]

The "10 Things To Watch for in the NFL This Weekend" is dying. It's not dead, but it is dying. If you're so desperately attached to it, feel free to plead for its existence in the comments, and maybe it'll be revived. Until then, we'll just focus on the major storylines of the week. Month and a half to go, so let's get to it...The Domination of the New York Football GiantsI've been a Giants fan as long as I can remember, despite an early fascination with the K-gun offense and Jim Kelly, and there has never, ever been a Giants team that dominated the rest of the league like this. The '86 and '90 teams took the field before[...]

Start Doing Stepups

The last time I made an entry to this blog I was 20 pounds heavier, clean-shaven, and sleeping eight hours per night... anyone who's seen me lately knows that had to be a long, long time ago. Stress happens, but I'll try to be a more consistent blogger going forward (for my two-and-a-half die-hard fans out there who've been holding their breath for another entry, the wait is over).So let's talk about stepups. I must be the only guy I've seen do this move in a public gym in five, 10... in my entire life. Why is it so unpopular? Probably because it's tricky to do, and it doesn't allow you to use a ton of weight. Nevertheless, it's a[...]
