WHEN IT COMES TO ENJOYING BRANDY, SIP WISELY BUT GO ‘NUTS’

  WHEN IT COMES TO ENJOYING BRANDY, SIP WISELY BUT GO ‘NUTS’ Moving forward consistently with your fitness goals at times requires backing off boozy brunches or after-work alcohol indulgences. Julious Grant, founder of Omage brandy, is personally aware of the balancing act between staying fit and enjoying life every now and then. Before becoming one of the leading wine and spirits experts in the United States, Grant was a guard at Bethune Cookman University in the late ‘80s, where he averaged nearly 12 points a game his senior season. To this day, Grant, still physically active and watches his caloric intake, but Grant says that you can still enjoy the occasional highball — or straight up — without always having to go completely high and dry when it comes to alcohol.

NFL GREAT VERNON DAVIS SINGS THE PRAISES OF PILATES

  NFL GREAT VERNON DAVIS SINGS THE PRAISES OF PILATES Over the last two or three decades, professional athletes have put as much effort into training as they have the skill development that comes with their sport. This is very true when it comes to football players. Nowadays, teams have coaches and trainers specifically to help them in the weight room. When you saw Vernon Davis play, you could tell he was well acquainted with iron. He had one of the most impressive physiques in the NFL during his 14-year career. Nonetheless, as he told Zack Zeigler and Mike Myers on a recent episode of M&F Reps, he still felt the wear and tear of the game every day. “It takes a big toll on your body,” said Davis. “The key is to make sure you’re stable mentally, physically, emotionally, and just do all that you can to make sure that you can go out there and do what you have to do.” The Super Bowl 50 champion then added Pilates into his routine, and he felt it gave him new life on and off the field.

PRE-DAWN TRAINING WITH SPARTAN COFOUNDER JOE DE SENA IN SPARTA, GREECE

  PRE-DAWN TRAINING WITH SPARTAN COFOUNDER JOE DE SENA IN SPARTA, GREECE A little after 5 a.m. a day before the 2019 Spartan Trifecta World Championships in Sparta, Greece, and I’m drinking Spartan Tea with Spartan Race cofounder and CEO Joe De Sena on the porch of a guest house that sits atop a mountain. We’re several miles outside of Sparta, killing time before our pre-dawn workout. What we’ll be doing when we train is a mystery, as De Sena met all of my inquiries with a shrug and “We’ll figure something out.” Later in the day, De Sena will be part of a press conference with Sparta city bigwigs and a handful of racers favored to win. After that, he’ll oversee a parade featuring elite racers from more than 68 nations vying for the title in their respective heat. His phone blows up with texts and emails as I ask him about raising kids, intermittent fasting (he’s been testing out a plan to eat between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to provide a four-hour cushion without food before hitting the sack)
