Old School, Hardcore Training

Aleksandr Karelin is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He dominated the world of wrestling for a long time. Even though most people have either forgotten him, or never knew who he was, I often go back to his training videos for inspiration. Sure, a lot of us will YouTube the Rocky montages. I’m guilty of that as well. Karelin, however, brought a truly unique mixture of size, strength, flexibility and overall athleticism. It led to his dominance. We aren’t born with all of that. We develop it over time, through constant training. Old school, hardcore training.

The Best Workout Headphones

If you’re here looking for answers, you might want to look elsewhere. Despite working out in the gym, every single day for the past 12 years, I still haven’t discovered the best ones.

If you visit their website, you’ll see countless interviews with motivational and successful individuals.

The 1,000,000th Reader

August 14th, 2012. The first blog post ever published on Hungry & Fit back when it was a wordpress.com site. Now, or rather for quite some time we’ve been wordpress.org; it was a requirement when we started to monetize the blog. As some of you may know, we thought of the blog on our cross-country trip from New York to Boulder, Colorado. We stopped in Mason City, Iowa for a week or so along the way. At the time, it was just the two of us, but the pack, or pride, has grown since then. Hungry & Fit has also grown.

7 Tips for Studying and Traveling Abroad

Studying abroad is an exciting experience for students from the United States. During your studies and travels, you’ll experience a new culture and may possibly benefit from unexpected opportunities.

Still, international experiences can be overwhelming for some. One of the most important things that you can do to prepare for your big trip is to start a travel fund. This is a luxury expense that you contribute to after stashing away money for emergencies and retirement. Use a separate FIDC insured savings account to distance yourself from your travel bankroll and keep it safe.

Start saving early, and make deposits often. Furthermore, don’t wait to start saving until you’ve made all your plans. Once you’ve done this, you can adjust your savings so that your travel nest egg is on target by the time you leave for your trip.

The following sections reveal 7 more insightful and fun tips to prepare you for an overseas learning adventure.
