One Punch Max Out
The Power Max 360 is a resistance-based machine with hydraulic handles that can swing in every direction. UFC bantamweight Brad Pickett uses it to simulate punching, pushing, pulling, and clinching.
Pumping Pumpkin
Don’t give in to the temptations of high-sugar pumpkin lattes, muffins, and sweet breads that show up in grocery stores and coffee shops this time of year. Instead, use canned pumpkin as a flavor booster to your favorite pancake recipe or protein shake. Pumpkin is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and beta-carotene.
