<strong> It's 8:35 on an </strong> impossibly clear and bright morning at a private resort in the Bahamas. A whisper of wind rustles the palm trees, and tucked down a golf-cart path, shielded by flowering bushes, theres a freshly marked-out football field with two yellow uprights on either end. Apart from a gallery of seagulls, theres no one around except Tom Brady; his trainer, best friend, and cofounder of TB12, Alex Guerrero; and Bradys assistant, Kevin Bonner. In person, the 42-year-old ...

<strong> N </strong> <strong> othing really prepares </strong> you for the snotty-nose, ear-infection, stomach-bug fest that is toddler daycare. My son, Henry, went to a most excellent hippie-dippy rural learning center where the kids were ushered outside to play and get dirty at every opportunity.

The Rock just posted an Instagram video of one of his favorite biceps blasters. It's a classic that he probably first learned back in the day at The U-and it's a move that plenty of guys do either at the beginning or end of a nasty arm day.

I'm 12 minutes into my first-ever Muay Thai class at <a href="https://www.hithouse.com/" id="b1e9756c-2806-3f60-a4d8-e6ee1634b2c5"> Hit House </a> in New York City when instructor Raquel Harris commands everyone to strike their bag with a rear kick, the Muay Thai money shot. You rotate your body and pivot on the ball of your front foot, and kick your opponent with a thwack. Thanks to my soccer background, my kick connects with a solid blast, but Im left off-balance.

The trainer really wants me to stick it to the stick. My entire body is straining and stretching as I fight to push it together, lats flexing and shoulders loosening with each attempt. Now, imagine youre trying to pull the stick apart using 80 percent of your max grip strength, says Equinox creative manager of group fitness Dana McCaw, whos leading a group of 20 men and women in a new class called <a href="https://www.equinox.com/" id="02225242-6c35-3e4f-af6d-d988de006662"> Best Stretch Ever...
