Gains On the Go

Protein Snack Ideas

Whether you're trying to bulk up, lose body fat, or simply get more of the most important macronutrient throughout the day, having go-to protein snacks that are convenient and nutrient-dense is a must.

No matter your goal, keeping high-protein meals and treats in mind (and on hand) can make it much easier to reach your health and fitness goals. Pre-planning your snacks may seem like overkill, but doing this can make a difference when you’re short on time or if something unexpected comes up.

While we all know about bars and shakes, this lengthy list of tasty protein-packed options can help you feel satisfied throughout the day and keep you on track with your nutrition plan.

A Message From Hydrow

The 20-Minute Full-Body Workout You've Been Missing

Your day is packed between meetings, shuttling kids, trying to prep clean meals, while hopefully squeezing in quality time with friends and family.

Somewhere in there, you've got 20 minutes.

With Hydrow, that's all you need for a full-body workout. And yes, it's cardio—but it’s also strength training, meditation, and adventure in one sleek machine.

But you're not just on a rower, by yourself, slogging through 500-meter intervals.

Hydrow brings immersive, group workouts into your own home led by Olympians and professional athletes. So you're not in your basement alone - you're rowing on a Scandinavian fjord or knocking out a 10-minute core circuit in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Find out why 90% of Hydrow users are still into it one year later. Save up to $1150 for a limited time and use code "GGR" for an additional $50 off.

No Equipment, No Problem

Bodyweight Beach Workout

No matter if you’re headed to sunny Southern California, the Maldives, or Bimini Island, most of us fitness fiends all have one thing in common: We’re still going to get our workouts in on vacation!

While we encourage you to take a well-deserved break if needed, I know that I get antsy and anxious if I go too long without a good sweat session. If you find yourself in the same boat, you’ll be glad you stumbled upon this beach workout guide. This is a true no-equipment workout—you don’t even need a dumbbell, as it includes only bodyweight exercises. (Light packers, rejoice.)

This step-by-step guide will make your muscles and lungs burn the next time you’re on a quest for sand, sweat, and sunshine.  

Wheels Up

Best Mountain Bikes

The beauty of mountain biking is it means something different to everyone.

Some riders live for gnarly, adrenaline-spiking descents, while others seek solitude and peaceful, leisurely riding on relaxed trails. And it’s not just fun and games: Research shows mountain biking can bring “intense positive emotions and fulfilling experiences.” Plus, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more challenging (and rewarding) form of cardio that puts you right in touch with nature.

This guide to the best mountain bikes combines personal experience from GGR contributor and cycling expert Amanda Capritto, crowdsourced input, brand research, and consumer insights to detail nine bikes that are worth the money, whether your budget is $500 or $15,000.
