How I got over my fear of the gym
Everyone is talking about resolutions, working out, and eating right. It’s that time of year. But what you won’t hear about is a fear of the gym. For the longest time when I had first started, I was afraid of the gym. If you’re a complete beginner, you probably know exactly what I’m talking about. “Where do I start?” “Where is all the equipment?” “Am I going to get in someone’s way?” “Am I going to look like a complete idiot?” Those were just some of the actual things I had racing through my head. It didn’t matter if it…

For more information, go to MENSFITNESS.com/Redemption The workouts we write, edit, curate, and produce aren’t just workouts. I feel like a broken record saying it, but it’s true.

Forget looking at whether or not it’s effective, or the best thing ever, this is…

The 8-Hour Workout
I’ve been doing full blown fitness shoots for a good four years now. Hard to believe, but we never really had them on the site before… MENSFITNESS.com that is. Everything was shot in stills for the magazine, then carried over to the website and social media. But no one wants to see still images really. They want to see how to do the exercises. But on top of that, they want to be inspired by the videos to get out there and do it themselves. My thought process has to been to shoot workouts in as real-life style as possible.…

Throwback Thursday: The Boogie Edition, September 2015
I love my damn boogie board. Can’t ever get enough of it. Probably never, ever will. Some look at me like I’m crazy to spend so much time on it. But the truth is, I don’t care. It’s good stuff. Without something like this I’d lose my marbles. Although, it is wild to think how something so simple could consume so much of your mind, time, and energy. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t questioned my maturity at times. But, whatever. A solid hobby like this is what everyone needs. It’s what life is all about. Doing what you…

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…

First Look at MotoGP: A High-Speed Breed of Fitness
There’s no such thing as being “fit” or not. We’re all “fit” in our own ways, just some are more so than others. Is 5% body fat fit? Sure, it’s been the perceived image of fitness from the beginning. Is bench pressing or squatting 400 pounds fit? Yeah, that is too. Running a sub-4 hour marathon, yep, that is too. Is a professional linebacker fit? Of course he is. A golfer? Yes. He is. How about motorsports? Where the power of the vehicle is doing the work? Or is it? High powered bikes tightly maneuvering turns and ripping down straight…
