I love this time of year. Not only is Halloween right around the corner, but AMC’s The Walking Dead returned to the air last weekend too! It didn’t just return either; the season 5 premiere crushed it! With 17.3 million viewers tuning in, it was the most watched cable TV show of all time. […]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opened this past weekend to great (and well-deserved) fanfare! And each time a new Marvel movie is released, legions of geeks return to the proverbial well to re-watch all the cinematic superhero goodness that has come before. Undeniably, the crown jewel of the “phase 1” Marvel Cinematic Universe is The Avengers. […]

Killer abs. A shredded six pack. The veritable Holy Grail of being in shape. While I don’t necessarily agree with it being the pinnacle of fitness, I definitely get the appeal. Having a flat stomach or, even better yet, defined abdominal muscles definitely gives people a well-earned sense of accomplishment! So what can you do […]
aka How Not To Suck At The Gym I recently asked a bunch of people on Twitter what some of their biggest hurdles were in their desire to get in shape. The number one answer? Being afraid of the gym. I get it; new things can be scary. In no way do I want to […]
It should come as no surprise to long-time readers that I consider Geek & Sundry one of my major creative inspirations. In fact, one half of the catalyst for this very website was sitting in on panels given by Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh at the very first Geek & Sundry event at San Diego […]
So a couple of weeks ago I asked on Twitter what topics people wanted me to tackle, and the #TeamHooman community came back with a bunch of requests; here’s the first one of the responses I want to tackle: @MTW3ESQ – “Have you done anything about gym bag contents? I run, but thinking of gym, […]
Do you remember what it was like being a kid? Back when you weren’t concerned about bills, stress at work, or if your pants were getting too tight? You just lived life.

But sometimes finding the […]
Every new year I have multiple discussions about New Year’s resolutions. Whether it is listening to friends talk about what they have planned, participating in discussions on social media, or pontificating here on this site about how you can stick to them. It happens every.single.year. So I figured this year I would let you all […]
Anyone who has read more than of my articles already knows how much I hate poorly researched health advice, over-hyped programs, and deceitful product advertising. I am all for people doing their best to spread health and fitness wisdom, or come up with products that satisfy a real need, but if your entire goal is […]
One of my favorite things to do is to peruse the Internet for other great, geek-inspired fitness resources… Awhile back I stumbled across CosFit,a cosplay oriented fitness group on Facebook. While not a cosplayer myself, I was immediately impressed with the way they not only promoted getting fit and healthy through a variety of great […]
Getting started with an exercise program or a healthy diet is relatively easy… Staying motivated though? That’s a different story! Once the excitement of doing something new and positive wears off, it takes hard work to stay on track. The majority of the questions I get asked are not about exercises or recipes; they are […]
