Risks Every Boy Should Take

No.1 Follow Your Passion

Test the waters. Set up informational interviews in the industry you want to be in. Have a buddy who did a 180 on his career? Ask him what worked, and what he wishes he’d done differently. 


No.2 Face a Fear in The Gym

Pick something active that you’ve always stayed away from, and learn how to do it. Keep track of your progress by setting small goals, instead of focusing on the end result. It will help increase your motivation by feeding your reward system each time you meet a goal.


No.3 Talk To A Random Woman---In Broad Daylight

 Commit to approaching one woman out of the blue, whether she’s walking the street, hanging out in the park, or shopping at Whole Foods. Keep your opening line to something about your surroundings—it guarantees immediate conversation—or simply introduce yourself. “You might just be surprised how receptive women are to such a confident attempt,”

Top 5 Exercises You Dont Do But You Should


Don’t you think you should be doing the best and most efficient exercises to make the most out of your time? Spending time at the gym is only as effective as you make it.

1. Kettle Bell/Dumbbell swing:-
                                                          The swing is a great exercise that many people ignore in the gym. It’s best when used with a kettlebell, but works fine with a dumbbell as well. The hip workout you get from a swing is hard to beat and helps in any athletic activity. Make sure you drive the hips forward while driving your heels into the ground to get the most out of the exercise.


2. Swimming:-
                       Plain and simple, swimming is one of the best exercises you can do for your entire body. In many ways it is the perfect exercise for humans. Joints do not bear force or weight while swimming. In addition to that, swimming is one of, if not the most calorie intensive exercises you can do. Your muscles and lungs will be worked in different ways compared to non-swimming exercises and you can burn upwards of 450 calories depending on the stroke in as little as 30 minutes. Talk about an efficient use of your time!


3. Arched Back Pull-Ups:- 
                                                 If you’re into fitness, you know how important and beneficial exercises like pull-ups are. They work your entire upper body from the back to the forearms. Pull-ups are one of the best body weight exercises you can do. The reason an arched back pull-up is more efficient than a regular pull-up is because it works all of your pulling muscles at once. Arching your back using a neutral grip gives you a horizontal and vertical pull in one motion while also intensely working the abdominal area. When you reach the top of the pull your chest should touch your hands and your back and legs should be near-parallel with the floor. Click here for more information about arched back pull-ups and back exercises.


4.Overhead Squat:-
                                 This is an exercise that you must be careful with, to ensure you don’t use too much weight when you start. It involves holding an Olympic bar overhead in a wide grip. Keep your shoulders squeezed and arms extended while you enter a squat and push yourself back up. This exercise is great because it improves strength, flexibility, balance, core strength, and also helps to improve stabilization in your shoulders.


5. Renegade Rows/Walking Renegade Rows:-                       
                                                                   While it has a tough sounding name, it really isn’t too bad once you start incorporating this exercise into your regular workouts. A renegade row is great for anyone because it works every muscle in the upper body at once. Your legs and core also get a workout as they stabilize your body to keep you balanced and in control of the weights. These can be done with kettlebells or dumbbells (hex-shaped are best) and simply involve a few simple steps. For a better idea of how to do renegade rows, check out this video:

Top 5 Habits that ruin your appearance

1. Touching your face:-
                                       While touching your face all the dirt from your hands gets transferred to your face. Leading to pore clogging.

2. Suntanning without sunscreen:-              
                                                        Most of the skin damage associated with aging occurs via overexposure to sunlight.

3. Smoking:-
                     Smoking creates free radicals in your body which damage your DNA leading to pale skin with lots of deep lines.

4. Dry Shaving:-
                           Dry shaving leads to skin irritation and rashes, shaving bumps and ingrown hairs.

5. Drinking too much:-         
                                      Regular consumption of alcohol will leave your skin blotchy and your body haggard-- qualities which are not at all enciting to the opposite sex.
