New York City’s Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has shared a brief infographic containing tips for protesting safely, both in terms of protection against the ongoing pandemic and potential legal repercussions. Taking to Instagram yesterday, AOC advised protestors to wear face masks and goggles in addition to nondescript clothing that would hide any identifying markers like tattoos. She suggested taking heat-resistant gloves, to tie up long hair, and to write emergency contacts down. She also warned protestors to leave anything you wouldn’t want to be arrested with at home and stressed the importance of taking a buddy with you. If you take your cellphone with you, disable Face/Touch ID, turn-on airplane mode, and disable data (assumedly to eradicate any possibility of law enforcement making you unlock your phone against your will). Take a look below.
AOC’s helpful graphic arrived shortly after an impassioned speech on why calling for an end to unrest can be seen as hypocritical. “If you’re out here calling for the end of unrest, then you better be calling for health care as a human right, you better be calling for accountability in our policing, you better be supporting community review boards, you better be supporting the end of housing discrimination…Because if you don’t call for those things and you’re asking for the end of unrest, all you’re asking for is the continuation of quiet oppression.” She continued, “This is not to condone violence, this is not to condone any of that. But…we have to really ask ourselves the question as to why so many people were okay ignoring these problems until a window got broken. Why does it take that for people to pay attention?” Watch below.

The last thing you want to do is workout in the heat—but did you know that training in the heat could actually work to your advantage? I had the opportunity to visit the Mission Heat Lab at the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs, CT. In the lab is a heat chamber that can be set to up to 110 degrees, and the humidity set between 10 and 90 percent. Inside the chamber, you can hop on one of the bikes or treadmills which will track your heart rate, core temperature, body mass, wattage, pace/speed and sweat rate. All of these factors are then used for sweat electrolyte and sodium balance tests, which can tell a person the amount of electrolytes he or she loses at a particular temperature, going a specific wattage, for a set amount of time. “For athletes, they can set the temperature and humidity to match specific race conditions,” explains Robert Huggins, PhD, ATC, vice president of research and athletic performance and safety at the Korey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut. This would allow, for example, a triathlete to set Kona, Hawaii-like conditions so that they test in the same environment in which they’ll be racing. “Using the electrolyte test, which involves sweat weight before and after, and a distilled water wash-down to remove electrolytes to back calculate the concentrations, we can give recommendations that the athlete would need for that race based on the amount [of weight and electrolytes] they lost during the test.” That number can then be taken and used to help map out proper hydration and fueling for a longer race if need be. Since I’m obviously not a professional athlete, I was just curious to find out my sweat rate running in the heat for a half hour. By taking an ingestible core body temperature sensor pill, which wirelessly transmitted readings to a recorder device outside my body, measuring my weight before and after the test, and exactly how much water I drank during the heated run, I was able to learn that I lose .74 liters per hour. That means that at that same temperature, if I were to run an hour, the perfect amount of fluid I should be taking in would be .74 liters because that’s how much I was sweating out. Running in the heat for that long didn’t seem all too daunting at first, but by the end, I was so sweaty that I was counting down the minutes for it to be over. But I learned that when done safely, working out in the heat is actually very beneficial. “With as little as five to seven days of training in the heat, and keeping your core temp between 101.5 to 103.0 with proper hydration for 60 minutes, you can achieve lots of benefits,” explained Huggins. Achieving this stabilization of core temperature and proper hydration is often called heat acclimatization. “From a physiological standpoint [with heat acclimatization], your heart rate is lower at a given intensity, and blood volume expands allowing you to deliver more blood to the exercising muscles and to the skin for cooling via sweat,” Huggins said. “Most importantly, your core temperature is lower both at rest and during exercise and your body becomes a more efficient sweater.” And, he explained, if you can push heat training up to 10 to 14 days consecutively, you can also hold onto electrolytes and fluids better. Overall, you can become a more efficient athlete by sweating more efficiently, adjusting to the heat and maximizing your use of electrolytes. For most athletes or people who exercise three to five times per week, it can take about two to three sessions of training in the heat for someone to feel more comfortable moving the body in hot conditions. But each person is different—some may take a full week depending on their fitness level. “In general, the more aerobically fit you are, the quicker you get used to it,” explains Huggins. “Once you achieve heat acclimatization, or ‘Heat Acc’ for short, in order to hold onto the benefits of the adaptations your body has made, you need to continue to exercise once every five days in the heat.” However, even after achieving Heat Acc, “if you go 10 to 14 days without exercising in the heat, a majority of those adaptations will be lost,” Huggins adds. Of course, it’s easy to track your core temperature in a lab like the one I was in. For everyday athletes who don’t have access to a lab, the only way to accurately track your core temp—to be sure it’s in the correct range without spiking to an unsafe level—is to take your temperature rectally. That would mean pausing your run, bike or workout to get your temperature—not exactly ideal, or likely to happen. The good news is you can track your sweat rate to find out how much fluid you’re losing when you exercise for a certain amount of time in a particular environment. Simply step onto a scale with a full water bottle before your workout, then work out and drink the water, and when you finish, step back onto the scale. The difference in your weight is your sweat rate or how much fluid you lost. For athletes looking to improve performance, or for those who are just trying to stay hydrated on that next summer trail run, this could be a game-changer. “If you’re having fueling issues, whether it’s over or under hydrating, this is a great way to hone in on that and figure out exactly how much fluids your body needs in specific conditions for a specified amount of time,” Huggins concludes. ——————– By: Men’s Journal Did you miss our previous article… The post What Happens to Your Body When You Train in Hot-Weather Conditions? appeared first on MansBrand. from MansBrand https://www.mansbrand.com/what-happens-to-your-body-when-you-train-in-hot-weather-conditions/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=what-happens-to-your-body-when-you-train-in-hot-weather-conditions from Mans Brand https://mansbrand0.blogspot.com/2020/06/what-happens-to-your-body-when-you.html from Mans Brand https://mansbrand.wordpress.com/2020/06/04/what-happens-to-your-body-when-you-train-in-hot-weather-conditions/ from Mens Shoes https://mensshoes0.blogspot.com/2020/06/what-happens-to-your-body-when-you.html via Mens Shoes https://mensshoes0.wordpress.com/2020/06/04/what-happens-to-your-body-when-you-train-in-hot-weather-conditions/ MansBrand.com Articles Provided as noted by attribution. “Still trying to get over an ankle injury and I’ve been pretty bored, so I spliced together some clips of my biggest drops from Red Bull Rampage over the years.

After taking almost a full year off to recover from surgery, Kevin Chappell, one of the PGA’s top golfers, has made an epic comeback to the sport he loves. While his road to recovery was anything but easy, Kevin credits his amazing family, a dedicated rehab routine, and a newfound appreciation for CBD that helped him emerge stronger than ever. MJ: Golf has been your life and your career for so many years. What was it like to have to take a full year off from the game to recover from your surgery? KC: For about 5 years I had been experiencing on and off again problems but things really began to progress in the wrong direction the summer of 2018. My quality of life meant more to me at that point than my golfing career. MJ: What type of rehab did you do? Did you have a certain routine that worked best for you? KC: My team and I took a holistic approach and monitored everything I was doing. One of my biggest goals was to get rid of the inflammation in my body. I stayed away from alcohol and red meat and added CBD to my daily routine. MJ: You’re a big family man with a wife, two children and one on the way — congratulations! What role did your family play in your recovery? KC: They were a huge part in my recovery. They had to sacrifice as much as I did during the recovery process. They did a great job of reminding me what I was supposed to be doing if they thought I was deviating from the plan. It was not uncommon to hear my daughter Collins tell me to “go lay down” if I had been on my feet to much, or to have Elizabeth remind me that they could handle only one of these rehabs so to make sure I did it correctly. MJ: You mention you love Hemp Hydrate. When/how did you discover Hemp Hydrate? KC: It was towards the end of my rehab process when I got introduced to Hemp Hydrate by a friend. I had been trying to hydrate as much as I could and had been using CBD. To be able to get both in one serving was great for me and the Hemp Hydrate Relief topical is the best I had ever used. MJ: How do you use the products and specifically how have they helped your recovery and your game? KC: My day to day recovery is something I monitor closely. I noticed right away that my resting heart rate lowered when sleeping and my HRV increased the more I used the Hemp Hydrate products. MJ: How emotional was it to play golf for the first time since your surgery? KC: It was a very emotional and spiritual experience the first time I got to play after surgery. I recorded a video immediately after playing to remind myself what a great experience it was. MJ: What’s next for you both professionally and personally? KC: Professionally I look forward to getting back to competing once the COVID-19 virus is under control. In the meantime, I have been working on my game but also enjoying the last few months as a family of 4. ——————– By: Men’s Journal editors Did you miss our previous article… The post Kevin Chappell: Back in the Game and Better Than Ever appeared first on MansBrand. from https://www.mansbrand.com/kevin-chappell-back-in-the-game-and-better-than-ever/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kevin-chappell-back-in-the-game-and-better-than-ever from https://mansbrand0.tumblr.com/post/619928223970672640 from https://mensfashion5.blogspot.com/2020/06/kevin-chappell-back-in-game-and-better.html from https://mensfashion5.tumblr.com/post/619931791905701888 from https://mensshoes0.blogspot.com/2020/06/kevin-chappell-back-in-game-and-better.html MansBrand.com Articles Provided as noted by attribution. ———-- Title: When Did Instagram Go Dark?

Let’s face it, America loves its trucks and SUVs, more so than any other part of the world. If you ever travel to the Midwest or venture into American suburbs, you’ll find a plethora of utility vehicles ranging from compact crossovers to mammoth-sized SUVs like the latest 2020 Ford Expedition that I had a chance to check out over the past week. Ford’s latest Expedition, now in its fourth generation, touts a new aluminum body on its frame first introduced in 2018 for a complete redesign. For the 2020 model year, the Expedition remains the same but makes its Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver aids and safety features standard on all trim levels. Moreover, the trim levels, with their many levels, brings us a King Range model and a black accent package for XLT trims.

We love beer. Some might say our passion for it borders on obsession. Luckily beer has some surprising benefits (assuming it’s consumed in moderation). For one, it has nutrients—yes, you read that right. And some studies have shown that it may potentially improve cholesterol levels and boost cognitive health, among other perks. In the name of health, and summertime, we’ve come up with the following recipes, which might just convince you that beer is good for more than just drinking. It’s fun to cook with and it adds flavor, too. A few of these recipes can be made on the grill, and all of them can be taken on the road—not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon. Appetizer: Kickin’ Beer QuesoIngredients: -12 oz beer (we used Miller Lite) -8 oz low fat cream cheese -4 cups shredded cheddar cheese -1 medium tomato -2 garlic cloves, minced Directions: -Put beer, garlic and cubed cream cheese in a pot on low heat. -Whisk or stir until the cream cheese is melted and smooth. Make sure the mixture does not boil or the cream cheese will curdle. -Add shredded cheese a handful at a time and stir until melted. -Add diced tomato and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes until the dip thickens. Check this by coating a spoon and letting the dip cool (It should be creamy but not soupy.) -Pour in a bowl and eat with corn chips, pretzels, veggies, crostini, or anything dip-worthy. Main Dish: Curry Beer ChickenIngredients: -1 cup beer (we used Amstel Light) -2 lbs chicken (we used bone-in thighs with the skin) -½ cup olive oil -1 ½ tsp salt -½ tsp black pepper -1 tsp curry powder -½ tsp cumin -1 tsp dried oregano -2 cloves garlic, minced -3 tbsp onion, chopped fine -¼ cup fresh thyme -1 lemon squeezed Directions: -Add all of the ingredients to a 1 gallon resealable bag. -Squeeze out as much air as possible and close bag. -Knead the bag so that all the ingredients are evenly mixed. -Put the bag on a plate or pan and let sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. -Remove from refrigerator and turn the bag over a few more times to evenly disperse the marinade. -Turn your grill to medium heat. -Sear the chicken for ten minutes on one side; flip to sear for ten minutes on the other side. -Change heat to low and move chicken to the upper rack to cook for ten more minutes or until chicken is cooked through the center. If you don’t have an upper rack on your grill, put chicken in a pan and tent loosely with foil for ten minutes to finish cooking. Side Dish: Damn-Good Beer BreadMakes 1 (8 ½-inch) loaf Ingredients -1 tbsp baking powder -1 tsp salt -12 oz Sierra Nevada Summerfest beer -1 cup cheddar cheese, grated -1 medium onion, diced and sauteed -2 tbsp melted butter Directions -Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. -Grease loaf pan with butter or oil. -Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. -Pour in the beer and onions and stir until thoroughly mixed. -Gently fold in ¾ cup of cheddar cheese. -Pour batter into pan. -Drizzle the melted butter on top of the batter. -Bake for about 30 minutes then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top and return to the oven for about 15 minutes. -Test to make sure the bread is cooked in the center by sticking a knife in the center. It should come out clean. -Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Great served warm or toasted. ——————– By: Erin McGrady Did you miss our previous article… The post 3 Tasty (and Simple) Ways to Cook With Beer appeared first on MansBrand. from https://www.mansbrand.com/3-tasty-and-simple-ways-to-cook-with-beer-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=3-tasty-and-simple-ways-to-cook-with-beer-2 from https://mansbrand0.tumblr.com/post/619916874123182080 from https://mensfashion5.blogspot.com/2020/06/3-tasty-and-simple-ways-to-cook-with_3.html from https://mensfashion5.tumblr.com/post/619920469768978433 from https://mensshoes0.blogspot.com/2020/06/3-tasty-and-simple-ways-to-cook-with_3.html MansBrand.com Articles Provided as noted by attribution. ———-- By: Brian X.

Footwear refers to garments worn on the feet, which originally serves to purpose of protection against adversities of the environment, usually regarding ground textures and temperature. Footwear in the manner of shoes therefore primarily serves the purpose to ease the locomotion and prevent injuries. ArchivesNo Archives Categories |
