After a tragic fire, the family-run lodge is back and better than ever

There are a few reasons I don’t see myself going on a dating show anytime soon: I’m in a committed relationship. There’s no way I’d be able to fall asleep in an Annie-style bedroom with a dozen sunburnt singles. I’d probably never get to go for a run. Up and down an increasingly crowded category — The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Love Island, Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle — there’s a familiar, repeatable formula for corralling contestants and making good compelling television. The par…

The kids aren’t just swiping these days. They’re stomping. Stompers, the self-proclaimed “app of the summer,” is designed by Soren Iverson and Josh Rozin, and pits users against each other in a daily step-counting competition. Its App Store pitch is succinct: create your stomper, walk with friends and beat them up with items. Throughout the day, Stompers sources data from the Health app on your phone, displaying your step count in a scoreboard style. Obviously, that isn’t so exciting on its…

Fitness-wise, Ken Rideout has been in his share of scraps. When we were putting together The Globetrotting Guidebook earlier this year — a user-friendly guide in which dozens of runners nominated their all-time favorite running routes — Rideout’s entry stood out for its intensity. He submitted a 48-miler through the Central Mongolian desert, one part of the notorious Gobi March footrace. With that in mind, I wouldn’t have expected a fitness trend like HYROX to throw Rideout for much of a loo…

Bodyweight exercises are the best. Don’t get me wrong, I still swing weights around, but bodyweight fare checks a lot of boxes. It’s convenient, cost-effective and scalable across different fitness levels; it improves functional strength, flexibility and core stability; and, most importantly, it’s easy on the joints. Little wonder that calisthenics has been dubbed one of the top training trends this year. The back-to-basics craze is mainly playing out on social media, where trainers share si…

I was at a wedding a few weeks ago, powering through cocktail hour chatter, when I met a former training mate of swimmer Ryan Lochte, the 12-time Olympic medalist. This man hit me with an absolute bomb: Did you know all of Michael Phelps’s records are broken? Some of his Olympic times wouldn’t even win in today’s NCAA. As quick as he came, this guy got pulled off into a separate conversation, and I was left reeling from this revelation, vowing to visit a search engine the first chance I got.…

A necessary deep-dive into the static vs. dynamic debate

A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine has popularized a fascinating new health term: “strengthspan.” In recent years, researchers have urged the masses to stop obsessing solely over lifespan and shift their focus to healthspan — that’s to say, the number of years one is free from age-related disease or disability. After all, what’s the point of living to 100 if your last 10 years are unbearable? Healthspan is a way of broadly contextualizing (as well as literally measuring) on…

According to data from Statista, Tennessee is the 12th most visited state in the U.S., sandwiched between Arizona and New Jersey. It wasn’t always this way, but Nashville has staged a meteoric rise in the last 10 years, arguably joining America’s inner circle of inevitable pilgrimages. The state logs robust visitor spending numbers year after year, and Tennessee tourism is now a $30 billion business annually. People come for honky-tonk, Dollywood, hikes in the Smokies and distilleries. But T…

They rarely make TV this creative and considered anymore, for kids or adults

On has officially inked Zendaya. That sentence wouldn’t have made too much sense just a few years ago — and neither, perhaps, would the partnership. The Swiss running brand, which was founded in 2010, reserved its initial sponsorships for endurance athletes, people like Nicola Spirig, Yared Nuguse, Hellen Obiri, David Kilgore, Gregoire Curmer. Not exactly household names, but as an upstart in a space long dominated by two very famous brands, On Running decided to earn some credibility and…

The Instagram comments tell the story. HYROX posts regularly elicit inspired replies: “This is the sickest course I’ve ever seen,” or “We have to do this” (tagging a friend). Sometimes, the comments are more aggrieved — “So upset this popped up on my feed after the race” — but the message remains the same. HYROX is now the standard for fitness racing, and perhaps the coolest trend in fitness. It took its time finding its footing in the States; the concept was introduced in Hamburg, Germa…

This move can reset your aching pelvis. Here's how to deploy it.

I read a fascinating article in The New York Times a few weeks ago about the sociological role of “kinkeeping.” As the name suggests, it relates to relatives — a kinkeeper is a family’s thoughtful steward, a person who tends the family’s fire and keeps it burning bright. It sounds like one of those TikTok words (and it is), but it also has researched roots. The APA Dictionary of Psychology defines kinkeeping as “promoting and protecting relationships between family members.” It sounds nice —…
