Thanks to Covid-19, the usual influx of gym goers is much smaller this year. I’m sad to see gyms suffering the economic effects, but I understand not wanting to workout around other people. With the slow vaccine rollout and the new highly contagious Covid-19 strain ravaging the United Kingdom, crowded buildings full of sweaty people will be understandably unpopular.

What I’m more worried about is how many people won’t be exercising. Your metabolic health is one of the most important factors in protection against Covid-19. I think one of the biggest oversights of this pandemic had been the lack of…

You wouldn’t guess Tom Fabbri’s background, or why he’s referred to as The Life Wrangler, just by looking at him. It’s not that Tom is in any way unimpressive. Though Tom Fabbri is now in his early 60s, he looks no older than 45. A lifetime athlete turned extreme adventurer, Tom’s body has aged well, in that it has hardly aged at all.

The reason you couldn’t guess his background is because you couldn’t guess such a story by looking at anyone.

Over the course of his life, Tom has stepped from jailhouse days to the heights of private…

I love self-improvement. Ever since I homeschooled instead of attending the 8th grade, I’ve been obsessed with guiding my own future. From studying Buddhist philosophy to facing odd discomforts (like laying down on the floor in a crowded coffee shop), I love anything that challenges me to grow. Hell, my only tattoo is the Japanese word: Kaizen, which translates to “constant improvement”, or more literally, “good change”.

Over the years, I’ve been exposed to all sorts of material about self-discipline, habits, focus, and goal-setting. Even so, most of them were too immediate. They were so often focused on the tools…

If you’re an athlete, I bet you’ve heard of inflammation. We can all remember our coach telling us to ice that painful joint to reduce swelling and inflammation, but what if I told you inflammation goes far beyond the pain of an injury?

You see, inflammation is base level biology. Any time there is damage, inflammation occurs. This inflammation signals our body to repair the damage, and often we improve as a result. Ever heard of exercise? Inflammation from the exercise is what signals your body to make bigger muscles and improve.

The problem is inflammation is when it gets…

Plain and simple: This article is about why you should meditate to get fit.

I’ve been training since age 14 in all manner of sports. Martial arts, swimming, water polo, rock climbing, cross country, discus, backpacking, and finally, CrossFit.

However, I also studied Buddhism extensively the same year I began martial arts. Believe it or not, mindfulness is my single greatest tool for better training. This is because mindfulness, or awareness, cultivates your ability to train. …

In the past decades, testosterone levels in men have declined drastically. The reason? It seems like everything. More toxic environments, blue light exposure, cheap dopamine access through media and porn, not to mention diet and lifestyle.

Yet while this occurs, testosterone is barely monitored in the medical community. Possibly due to sport-related stigmas against testosterone therapy, or the fact T is classified as a schedule 1 drug if used without a prescription. …

In 2008, my life completely changed. Though I always had a knack for athleticism, the hobbies of then 13-year-old me mainly involved video games.

This all changed when my Dad signed me up for mixed martial arts. It kicked off an obsession with fitness, and over the course of that year, I went from being a scrawny kid to having a physique that looked more appropriate on the cover of a Men’s Health magazine than a 14 year old boy.

When it comes to fitness programs and sports, my curriculum vitae includes P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Insanity, Insanity Max Thirty, Insanity…

Hey guys. Let me start by saying I LOVE writing for HRD2KILL. This is an awesome community of go-getters. With that said, the info I’m here to provide can and should be used by anyone.

Here’s the gist: BMI (body-mass index) and metabolic health are strongly linked to your risk of dangerous Covid symptoms. Right now, mainstream media doesn’t just avoid these topics, they’re hardly being discussed at all.

While mass testing drives promote McDonalds and offer free Coca-cola as incentive, avoiding these…
