Explore the North—An Adventure of the Northern States
This summer, MEN’S FITNESS and HUMANFITPROJECT will be documenting the nationwide expedition of Nick Uthe, the owner and creative director of Boss Imagery, along with fellow photographer and adventure-hunter Sam Axness. This is the beginning of their journey. THE EXPEDITION Explore the North will be the road trip any wanderlust traveler could dream of and is set to take place on May 11th, 2016. Nick Uthe and Sam Axness will set out on a cross-country photographic excursion inspired by the Canadian National Motto, “Mari Usque ad Mare.” This Latin saying loosely translates into, “from sea to sea,” and this is exactly what we’re set out to accomplish. They duo will be driving…

Lay Days on Oahu: Capturing Perfect Blue-Green Gems
I overpaid for my flight to Oahu, but that’s OK. The last-minute execution was worth every penny. Book too far in advance and it’s a crap shoot on the surf conditions you get. Will it be too big? Will it be flat? I waited and analyzed every model every minute of every day for the ideal time to pull the trigger—it worked out perfectly. Great-to-fun surf conditions for most days, with some extra-large ones that created for plenty of time to explore and document. I can remember the real early years of travel—broke as a joke and anxious as hell…

Behind the Scenes: The Extreme Calorie Cutter and the Rapid-Fire Heart Rate Workout
It’s been one hell of a busy past couple months. I seriously feel like it was just June, now it’s the middle of November. Wild. My most recent project for MEN’S FITNESS was another exciting one out in LA. Fitbit, one of our partners, was looking for us to put together two quick and easy workouts with a celebrity trainer. We went with Dolvett Quince from NBC’s The Biggest Loser. And yes, he really is as nice as he is on TV. And he’s in super sick shape! Dolvett put together a full 30-day plan which can be found at…

4 Tips for Your First Hike Deep into the Mountains
There is so much to experience in the great outdoors, and so much to learn about how to make the most of those experiences. If you’re from the city, or even the suburbs, hiking can open up a whole new world from the one you’ve always known. The benefits of hiking are endless.

It’s a great way to get fit while simultaneously getting much-needed deep thought. Preparing to go on your first hike? Here are some general…

Why I Never Traded My Boogie Board for a Surf Board…Most of the Time
I even contemplated the headline, “How I Tried and Continue to Try and Make It In an Industry and With a Sport That No One Ever Heard Of (Or, If They Did, They Don’t Respect It) Oh, and While Living in One of the Worst Possible Geographical Locations for Said Sport and Industry.” Now aside from the headline being obnoxiously too long and potentially very confusing, it did work well as an entire run-on sentence/opening paragraph. My first experience with a bodyboard aka boogie board was when an old friend tried getting me into it. I was about 10 at…

The North Shore: An Introduction To The Proving Grounds
The North Shore of Oahu is the place to be if you’re an aspiring surfer, bodyboarder, or waterman looking to make a name for yourself in the industry. It’s got incredibly consistent, quality surf, and the ideal backdrops for jaw-dropping, print-worthy images. But don’t think it’s as easy as packing your board and hopping on a flight. Swells are big, powerful—sometimes rogue—and the lineup is fiercely competitive. Good luck paddling out at Pipe and think you’re entitled to getting a set wave. Ain’t happening’, brah. Locals take priority. The stretch of varying reef breaks and treacherous shorey is referred to…
