Aftershock by JOE WUEBBEN
Brian Casad was a typical young American in early 2011. Everything about his existence qualified as \"normal\" in today\'s society, which is what makes it so scary.
He was out of college, 26 years old, and in the real world. He worked a 40-hour-a-week desk job and nearly every day he’d go out to lunch with his co-workers and eat whatever looked appetising on the menu—a huge burrito at a Mexican spot, three or four slices of pizza at the Italian joint, a Reuben or patty melt with fries at the sandwich shop—you name it. When lunch was over, he\'d go back to his desk feeling so lethargic his productivity went out the window.

Seven-Minute Wonders by CHEF ROBERT IRVINE
It can be hard enough to get to the gym after a long day at work, never mind banging pots and pans around in the kitchen to cook a healthy meal from scratch. You\'ve probably experimented with cooking all or most of your meals for the week on Sunday, and storing everything in resealable plastic containers until you\'re ready to eat. This is a fine solution but too often yields mixed results: grilled chicken and steak store in the fridge well enough, but the moment the recipe gets any more complicated than plain meat, a once-tasty dish can morph into an inedible disaster. In all four recipes I present here, I note how to cut corners in preparation without negatively affecting taste; see the Chef\'s Tips on each page. My mantra has always been that you can look good and still eat gourmet food. Now, it doesn\'t even have to take up a lot of time.

High-Volume Training by JOE WUEBBEN
Every now and then, a seemingly complex question deserves a simple answer. For example: how do I build muscle and burn body fat at the same time, so I can have a carved-up six-pack to go along with my big chest and arms?
The simple answer: train with both high intensity and high volume.
