When we hear the phrase “Movember” we tend to think about growing out our mustaches and beards, but the month of November is so much more than just about grooming.

The Movember Foundation’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health (and we show our support by growing out our facial hair) but it’s also about health in general – so our friends at SoulCycle are helping celebrate by getting guys into shape and introducing them to the cult workout so many already love.

For the month of November, SoulCycle is launching the #NoMoExcuses initiative. This means all you first time riders out there will receive a free SoulCycle class – across the country, during the entire month.

The initiative aims to get guys to become more physically active, which actually coincides with the MORE initiative – an initiative to encourage men and women to commit to getting more active throughout the month.

To make this initiative even more enticing, SoulCycle will offer a free ride to guys who are already members, just for referring – just head over to this site to sign up a bro who doesn’t know about the SoulCycle craze.

Since high energy music is such an important part of the experience, SoulCycle will also offer a series of male-focused theme rides, including “Moustached Musicians” and “Jock Jams” to fully celebrate the month.

There are over 32 locations nationwide, and the brand has established itself as a leader in indoor cycling.

The company is also expected to expand to over 60 locations over the next two years – so to get involved in the #NoMoExcuses initiative, check out available locations on their official website.

Did you know these popular foods are high in saturated fat?

The foods high in saturated fat you may want to cut out of your diet

An array of meats and cheeses.

Saturated fat is a fat that is solid when at room temperature. This happens because all of the carbon molecules are connected by double bonds. Butter is an example of one of the foods high in saturated fat. On the other hand, olive oil contains unsaturated fats, and that is why it is liquid at room temperature rather than solid.
Diets high in saturated fat have long been associated with raising “bad” LDL cholesterol levels and increasing the risk of heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and certain inflammatory conditions. However, there is also newer evidence potentially debunking this thinking, as some studies show that certain saturated fats, such as those found in coconut, can actually lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Most nutritionists and dietitians suggest limiting your intake of processed saturated fats—such as those in hot dogs, doughnuts, or mayonnaise—to no more than 10% of your daily caloric intake or a daily value of 20 grams. Instead, focus on foods high in monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, such as anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Not sure what kind of fat is in your favorite foods? Keep reading for a list of foods high in saturated fats, and see if you can replace some of them with healthier options.

Baby spinach is high in magnesium.

When most people consider important electrolytes that they need to replace after a hard workout, sodium and potassium typically come to mind. But what about magnesium? Magnesium has numerous benefits, and the essential mineral is involved in over 300 different enzymatic reactions in the body.

These include regulating blood sugar and blood pressure, synthesizing proteins, and conducting nerve and muscle impulses. Magnesium is also responsible for transporting calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes; this allows the heart to maintain its regular contractions.

If you were to survey people about the most important macronutrient, you will likely find that most people will answer protein. Although there are important benefits of all three macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates, and fats — and some unique functions of each, protein certainly plays numerous physiological roles that neither fats nor carbohydrates can replicate.
For this reason, it's important that your diet contains enough proteins for your body size and activity level, but how much protein do you really need? How do you calculate your protein requirements? In this article, we will briefly discuss protein's many roles in the body, daily protein recommendations for adults, and how to calculate how much protein you need to eat in a day.
