Most hard gainers and bodybuilders aren’t fans of cardio. And to be honest, what’s to like? At one end of the spectrum, it can be an absolute snooze fest, but on the other end – one of the most unpleasant, heart stopping and nausea inducing events of all time. However, while getting strong and jacked may help you look like a badass, if your gas runs out within a couple of minutes of hard work, can you really say you’re a badass? The Mighty Mitochondria All you really need to know is that mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for your body’s energy production. As you get older, they decrease in both density and function which has a knock on effect in the body and can…

Hawthorn had an easy win over Collingwood in the first week of the 2012 finals and then had a rest before the scare of its life against Adelaide when Taylor Walker put the Crows within a goal with a minute left on the clock. It held on though and went into the grand final as the favourite, only to be beaten by a more accurate Sydney Swans. Hawthorn held an 11-point lead when ex-Roo David Hale goaled at the 2m 21s mark of the final quarter, but that was the last major for Hawthorn. In that time, Sydney kicked four goals two to take the game away from Hawthorn who could muster only five behinds, most of which were gettable. The Hawks had thrown that one away and, a bit…

NEVER SAY DIE Brock’s 1987 Bathurst-winning VL Commodore Peter Brock enjoyed several straightforward victories on the Mountain, but the 1987 James Hardie 1000 was not one of them. His ninth Bathurst victory was messy – before, during and after the race’s running on the first Sunday in October. His ex-communication from General Motors in February 1987, due to his determination to install the mysterious Energy Polariser on his signature road cars, ensured the race’s build-up was fraught enough. Race day itself didn’t go to plan with an early-race switch of cars and, later, abysmal weather. Then, nine weeks after the race, he inherited victory. It was a politically charged event, the first and only time the Bathurst 1000 was a round of the World Touring Car Championship. Brock, David Parsons…

How do you want to leave this wicked world, Vossy? With a smile on my face. It’s been fun while it lasted. Do you think you are going to Heaven or Hell? If I make it to Heaven it will mean there has been an error in the paperwork. I’m sure I’m off to Hell because ‘God’ knows I’ve got a lot of questions that’ll piss him off. What do you say to God or the Devil when you actually get to see either of them? If there is a God I will ask him first about brain cancer in kids. If I’m in a place called Hell I will ask, “Where’s my shovel?” To whom on Earth do you owe an apology? To everyone I drove mad. And this…

REVIVING YOUR LOVE FOR EXERCISE We have a genuine love and hate relationship with exercise. We all seem to know the benefits that come with keeping the body active, yet some of us truly enjoy the process and the feeling we’re left with after a workout, while others think of it as a chore, a painful but necessary evil that needs to be done. Most of us lie somewhere in between. We go through ups and downs, periods of high and low activity, excitement and boredom. It really boils down to how much time, energy and motivation is left in the tank at the end of each day. That’s the trap a lot of us fall into. Based on the latest available data, over three in 10 adults aged 18-64…

“Talk is cheap — the right ones let you shine.” Vision of the shoot The vision was summer, sexy, and playful with a vintage twist. I wanted the images to feel dreamy and iconic. Funny anecdotes from the shoot - The beach was busy, but I just waved when people stared. Kids were playing, and the dads kept inching closer — it made me laugh. When do you feel sexy and why? - When I’m aligned, carefree, and giving back. And definitely in Christian Louboutin heels and a Victoria’s Secret lingerie set. Best asset - My eyes and eyebrows — but also being a people person. Life story - I was born in Dublin with an American mom from the Bronx. I’ve been acting and modelling since I was four…

Born on February 26, 1945 in Melbourne, Victoria, Peter Geoffrey Brock was Australian motor racing for many Aussies, drawing more people to the sport than anyone before or since. For those reasons alone he’s worthy of Immortal status. Brock paved the way for the Bathurst 1000’s incredible growth, ditto local V8 touring car racing’s success in recent decades. While the early Australian touring car heroes laid the groundwork, it was Brock as the most successful driver of the 1970s and 1980s who was instrumental in building Bathurst into the motor sport phenomenon it now is. His engaging persona created a following that gave Supercars racing the critical mass to become a major player on the local sporting landscape. Well-known racer and television commentator Neil Crompton, the man who had the…

Reports on the death of the affordable mechanical watch are greatly exaggerated – just ask the guys at Panzera. Founded in 2009 by long-time mates Roger Cooper and Andrew Herman, this Aussie brand was created to deliver reliable timepieces without the inflated pricing or middlemen of traditional luxury. In their biggest coup to date, Panzera was recently approached by pilots of the United States Air Force’s Aggressor Squadron to produce a custom timepiece. Commissioned directly by members of the elite squadron – including instructor pilots, commercial aviators and alumni – the collaboration resulted in a bespoke watch crafted to honour their legacy. Built on Panzera’s Flieger 45G pilot watch, the special edition mirrors the precision and resilience demanded by some of the world’s elite combat aviators. “Most brands would spend…

BALMAIN TIGERS VS CANBERRA RAIDERS Sydney Football Stadium: September 24, 1989 Canberra’s quest for its maiden premiership, coupled with Balmain seeking its first title in 20 years and not wanting back-to-back grand final defeats, suggested the 1989 grand final would be eye-catching. Little did anyone know that it would be described as arguably the best ever rugby league grand final. It was intriguing enough that Balmain had come third and Canberra fourth, with minor premier Souths and the second-placed Penrith not managing any victories in the playoffs. After Cronulla convincingly beat Brisbane in a play-off for fifth, the Tigers and Raiders were the only victorious teams in the remaining five finals before the decider. Balmain required two victories while Canberra needed to win three consecutive do-or-die matches, after winning its…

It usually begins with boredom. Not heartbreak. Not loneliness in the grand, romantic sense. Just that late-night, empty-room kind of boredom that hums in the background when the texts go unanswered and the porn tabs feel tired. You’re lying in bed, thumb twitching across your screen, scrolling through memes, half-reading Reddit threads, ignoring that group chat that hasn’t made you laugh in weeks. Then you see it – an ad for Replika, or Romantic AI, or one of those soft-lit videos on TikTok showing a perfect digital girlfriend who’s always smiling, always listening, always there. No games. No ghosting. Just comfort, validation, and sexless warmth – or not so sexless, if you’re willing to pay. It doesn’t take much. A few clicks. A name. An avatar. Maybe a sultry voice…

Sex in the beginning? Fire. Explosive. Animalistic. You can’t keep your hands off each other. You’re skipping dinners, texting nudes in the middle of the workday, and fantasising about tearing each other’s clothes off before the front door even shuts. But then the months roll in. Maybe years. Routines settle. The thrill starts to fade. The same positions. The same foreplay — if any at all. One of you initiates, the other shrugs. Eventually, even the spark of trying dies out, and what was once magnetic becomes mechanical. You’ve got bedroom burnout. And it’s killing your connection. Here’s the truth: every couple hits this wall — even the ones posting sexy selfies and love captions online. And it’s not because you’re incompatible or broken. It’s because sex, like anything worth…
