Can You Have A Few Drinks After Running?
The pros to this piece are alcohol and Science. The con is exercise. I guess overall I can recommend it, but it's still a close-run thing.
Got A Job? Skip The Gym!
"One of the only upsides of unemployment, you’d think, would be the free time that you’d have to do things that can be tough to squeeze into a normal work day — like going to the gym, or gardening, or just walking around the grocery store. But at least with men, the extra time doesn’t translate into more activity. A study conducted by researchers at the National Institute on Aging and published online in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine finds that even men employed in sedentary jobs (say, blogging, to pick something out of a hat) get more daily physical activity than men unemployed for reasons other than poor health."

Science: Exercise Is Bad
"What we really don't want to do is for the public to walk away from this and think exercise is bad." READ MORE
Playboy Tre And Lil Jon, "Ready Go"
Huh. There really must be something to that study about how binge drinkers exercise so much. After a heartbreaking defeat in the 2009 Last Call Liquor Brawl competitive drinking championship, former title-holder/Atlanta rapper Playboy Tre sets himself to a grueling regimen of sit-ups, lunges, sprints and running up steps like Rocky Balboa. All while chugging cans of beer and knocking back shots with a life-size cardboard cut-out of Billy Dee Williams. Science: right again!
France Once Again Proves Superiority Of Its Culture
"'It appears to me that more people are sitting in cafes smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee than working out ... the French don't see fitness as a lifestyle,' says American-born fitness consultant Fred Hoffman, who has lived in Paris for 21 years." READ MORE
Getting Vomited On Is A Total Upgrade For Some Residents Of California Beach Town
"You people are stupid. I remember Pier 52 and the End Zone, Hermosa used to be a scary place. The youth hostel used to be known as the heroin hotel. Hermosa has cleaned up so much over the last few decades, let the people have their fun. I've grown up in Hermosa, live in Hermosa, and think it's a great place. If you don't want to drink on the beach, don't. If you don't want to get puked on, don't go to the Ironman. Hermosa is a mellow fun-loving town, leave it that way! If you want to talk about investments, money you don't have, or how great you are, stay in Manhattan!" READ MORE
Stop Working Out, It's Embarrassing
Time was when vegetarian dudes could be classified in two simple groups: "pussies" and "freaks." No longer, reports the Boston Globe, noting the growing trend of "men in their 40s and 50s embracing a restrictive lifestyle to look better, rectify a gluttonous past, or cheat death. They are hegans. They are healthy. And they are here to stay." Let's leave the whole "hegan" thing aside and focus on these rationales for not eating meat like God intended: looking good and cheating death. They are exactly the same reasons people exercise. And it makes me sick. READ MORE
'Time' Frees Us From The Burden Of Working Out
I take back everything I've ever said about Time. While I may, in the past, have castigated the magazine as an out-of-touch rehash of events that are already old news by the time the book is published, or chastised it as a dispenser of conventional wisdom for those who liked their news pre-chewed, I was deeply wrong. I'm not too big a man to admit that. Time magazine, is, in fact, the most authoritative source for information-particularly regarding health and fitness-that we have in the nation, and perhaps the world. READ MORE
