There is a man in my building I have privately nicknamed “Cigarman.” That is because my building is a non-smoking building, and he is forced to go outside to smoke his smelly cigars. He takes his “ratdog” for a walk at the same time he smokes his cigars, presumably to kill two birds with one stone. (I call a dog a “ratdog” if it is close to the size of a rat and his is that small.) He and his dog make quite a sight, a large, rather rotund man, puffing on a cigar, walking this tiny dog up and…

Waking up with a painful leg cramp is horrible. One minute you’re asleep, and the next you’re grabbing your calf, trying to stretch it out and wondering what on earth caused it. Magnesium is one of the first things people recommend for muscle cramps, especially leg cramps at night, and it makes sense. It plays a role in normal muscle function, and not getting enough may make cramps more likely for some people. But it’s not quite as simple as “muscle cramps mean you need magnesium.” Cramps can happen for lots of reasons, and the research on magnesium is actually…
Merlin the sheep came to me by chance four years ago. A friend of mine had a lamb she was bottle-feeding, but she couldn’t look after it any more so she asked me if I could take care of it. I live in Moortown, Leeds, and rent about three hectares (seven acres) of land in Eccup, a small village nearby, where I’ve kept horses for about 13 years. I needed some help clearing the weeds that the horses wouldn’t eat and sheep seemed like the best solution because they’ll eat anything – so I said yes.The lamb was called Bambi…
Lautner isn’t alone in this experience. After playing a lead in Baywatch (a 2017 movie reboot of the popular 1990s TV series), fans associated Zac Efron with his chiseled physique and wasted no time pointing out when he shifted to more of a “dad bod.”But in an interview with Men’s Health in 2022, Efron talked about how he never wants to resort to the methods it took to achieve that lifeguard body again, and in his opinion, nor should anybody else.The picture-perfect body came at the price of diuretics, overtraining, poor sleep, and the same three meals every day. “I…
Should Be Able To vs. should: My Recommendations for SprintingDo I recommend the 30 Day No-Warmup Sprint Challenge? Probably not as anything other than textbook body mechanics and sound running form would likely cause issues. Yes, it’s something you should be able to do if necessary but probably not something you should do on a consistent basis. Now, if you do decide to try it be prepared as this truly is the ultimate diagnostic test of body mechanics and neuromuscular efficiency. With that said I’d recommend something similar to what I’ve been doing the last 8-9 years i.e. several sprints 2-4x…
