Six packs aren’t made in the gym. We often spiral when addressing matters of the gym, health and fitness. In doing so, we can often overlook some pretty simple must-do’s ensuring our workouts achieve optimum results. Making sure you workout is half the job, post workout is just as important to make sure goals are met.

Likewise, if you skip stretching, you will experience pain for longer, meaning less recovery and a shocking next session flexing those quads…
Feel like an Atlantean and critique like an artist. When we deliberate over visiting a museum or an art gallery, we never believed we would have the option of choosing to be both, above and below sea level to admire works of art. Australia is finally exploring the possibilities of spending more time beneath the waves admiring more than whales, sharks and fish. The first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, Townsville will be home to MOUA, the Museum of Underwater Art. Perhaps the concept of Aquaman isn’t outlandish. It would seem the underwater museum channels aesthetics similar to that…

The somewhat humble Spaniard rarely offers a glimpse into his personal life like the other names mentioned. this time Rafa speaks with Yacht enthusiast Bill Springer for Forbes.

The care package you never asked for, but the one you need most. Gaming was once an activity for those who wished to have some fun, and run away from squid-looking pixels to kill some time. It was frowned upon by many, your mum, your friends all viewed the addictive hobby as taboo. Fast forward to 2020, the concept of gaming has become a whole lot more than fun. To understand gaming culture one must look back to the rise of Sega, Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation. Gaming is now a profession, it’s a cash cow for those gifted with the…

You read it correctly. The Aussie-pantry essential has now proved it can help muscle growth when paired with peanut butter. Similar to pineapple on pizza, depending on which end of the spectrum you sit, Vegemite and peanut butter isn’t a match made in heaven. Yet, the salty Aussie house favourite according to a journal in Men’s Health, believes it has ‘muscle-building’ benefits. Move over steak, and every other food group, Vegemite and peanut butter is here to save the day. According to Men’s Health magazine and Mexican scientists, when combing peanuts with yeast extract (which Vegemite is loaded with), it…
Twenty years on the legend continues. Hans Zimmer, the German film scorer, who has scored over one hundred and fifty films is synonymous when we think of hard-hitting, technically sound and emotionally-moving motion picture soundtracks. You can hear Hans Zimmer’s swirling orchestra as Russell Crowe stares down Commodus and utters, “My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.” Chills……

Mike Tyson will face Roy Jones Jr. on September 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California,an exhibition match likely to break pay-per-view records.

A slice of heaven on Melbourne’s beloved coastline. Sydney-siders are quick to point out Melbourne’s lack of quality beaches. While we may not have a Bondi Beach or a Tamarama equivalent,Melbourne’s coastline is home to one of the most sought after holiday destinations for Australians. The Mornington Peninsula come summer is a place where you’ll line up for coffee, movie tickets, towel spots on the beach and even a pint or a rose. Quite simply, it’s bustling with life. Now there’s a rare opportunity to not only secure a property on the coastline, but to also own the sand it…
