America loves dogs.
We love dogs more than we love movies, video games, and music combined. We love dogs more than cars… and definitely more than football players.
People are outraged over Falcon QB Michael Vick’s dogfighting ring. Just yesterday a woman paid $7400 on ebay for dog-chewed Michael Vick collector cards. The proceeds from this auction, and ones like it, are going to the Humane Society. Read More »
Fall is just around the corner and there’s no better time of year to take a hike. The weather is getting milder, the leaves will soon be changing, and the sun is getting a little less intense.
Now is the perfect time to hit the trail.
A couple of years ago, National Geographic Adventure published an article on the Top 11 Trails in the world. A lot has changed in two years, but probably not this. Five of them are on U.S. soil and the #1 trail is in Colorado. Read More »
It’s that time of year again. With summer winding down, everybody’s getting psyched for snow. People are starting to save for that new soft shell they’re gonna need or that new board they want.
But what I bet you’re not thinking about (or weren’t thinking about until you read this) is whether or not you’d ever see a skiing ostrich. Well, let me put your now-restless mind at ease. This bird skis better than most people I know…

When most people travel from Fort Collins, Colorado to Steamboat Springs (also in Colorado), they drive a car. But a select set of restless individuals find it more enjoyable to run there. 
Some may call them crazy, but we just think they’re cool. They’re participants in the Wild West Relay and they recently ran 195 miles over Rabbit Ears Pass and the Continental Divide to soak in the natural hot springs of Steamboat.
The relay is a two-day race where teams of 6 and teams of 12 take turns completing the 36 legs of the journey. Some run during the day, some run through the night, and no one gets any sleep. A friend of ours, Javier Cortez, sent us this photo of his team at the finish line. We’ve got a video, too. Read More »

Interval training can maximize the benefits of your cardio sesh and minimize the time you spend sweating. Not only will you grow stronger, but you’ll burn more fat, more calories, and give your heart a better workout, too. It’s a win, win, win situation.
It’s easy to add intervals to any workout. Simply alternate high-intensity bursts of speed with low-intensity recovery periods. For example, if you were running, you would sprinkle minute-long sprints in between longer periods of jogging. Just increase and decrease your level of exertion a few times. Here’s how it works.
As with any other fitness program, you should take it slow in the beginning… and don’t forget to warm up. Soon you’ll be stronger and faster than ever. Just look at what interval training did for this guy… Read More »
