Aaron Eckhart Puts Himself Together by BEN RADDING
Around the time he was filming Erin Brockovich—his industry breakthrough—Aaron Eckhart decided that every time he trained for a movie, he’d take something away and learn a new skill. “I started boxing pretty hardcore,” he recalls, “and all of a sudden I really saw my abs for the first time. I was cut and in shape—I never knew I could do that before.” Up to that point, he’d been just going to the gym, working out without a plan, trying to stay in shape.

Add 2” To Your Chest by JOHN ALVINO

Easy Does It by MATTHEW KADEY
We’ve all been there: You come home from a stressful day at the office—followed by a gruelling workout—with little energy or enthusiasm left to hover over the stove and cook up an elaborate meal. It can make it oh-so-tempting to place a call for gut-busting Chinese or pizza. Thankfully, super­markets are increasingly stocking their shelves with foods that make it a breeze to put healthy meals on the table quickly. Forget soggy frozen dinners; the following recipes use some of the best tinned, jarred, and frozen foods—staples you’ll always want to have on hand when life presents you with a major time crunch.
