Psst. You. Yeah, you. The one wearing the khakis that look like cardboard. I’ve got a story to tell you. A while back when I was in a Niketown store I came across some of their golf attire. I saw a short sleeved shirt in a killer color and a great fabric. I bought it. [...]

Smoking is bad for your health. I’m not trying to make a judgment call, it’s just a fact. We want you to go out after making love to your supermodel wife on the hood of your Porsche Cayman with Cristal everywhere. We don’t want you to go out with something as pedestrian as lung cancer.

I remember the first time I saw the original Air Jordans. They were amazing and made me wonder what I had to do to get myself a pair. Unfortunately I was ten at the time and couldn’t afford them.
Thankfully, the geniuses at Nike have revived and revised the original Air Jordans and dubbed them the “Alpha [...]

We haven’t spent a lot of time on cycling here at ESM, and for good reason: it’s an elitist sport that can be wildly discouraging to a newbie. But we’re going to change that idea right now.
Enter Cyclocross. Part bike race, demolition derby and obstacle course, this is a no-holds-barred-anything-goes-just-get-your-ass-across-the-finish-line sport that we can really [...]

Have you ever heard the saying, “find a career and you will never work a day in your life”? For sports, I would like to change it up a bit:
“Find a sport and you will never work out a day in your life.”
Much like other people, I used to be a gym rat (heavy emphasis [...]

When that first bite of fall weather takes a nip at your neck, and the warm summer breeze gives way to a chill in the air, it’s time to consider your winter getaway. The tropical retreats that may usually call for you to escape just may fall on deaf ears this year. I say we [...]

I feel it is my duty to write about this subject, since I’ve never seen an article on it, and obviously some people out there are clueless. Of course, loyal ESM reader, I don’t refer to any of you.
The other day I was at the gym and I saw a guy with a white shirt [...]

Filed under Advice, Sports, Health and Fitness
Alright, so you’ve probably read this a billion times, but the key to losing weight is diet and excercise. No real secret. Unfortunately, your body doesn’t come with an instruction manual so getting some direction in this department is pretty difficult.
Hopefully this article will break it down as simply as possible and it will get you [...]

Have you ever surfed? Would you like to? It’s a great sport because you hang out at the beach all day and it provides a serious workout without you realizing it. Surfing also gives you a great excuse to travel to exotic locations.
