The busiest man in Hollywood is about to get a little busier. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is set to star in The King, an “epic-sized” film from director Robert Zemeckis that will follow the story of Hawaiian king Kamehameha, according to Deadline. The film is based on a script by Randall Wallace, who is known for writing Braveheart, hence the comparisons already to that epic war film. Johnson already has a massive slate ahead with Jungle Cruise, Hobbs & Shaw, the sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and Red Notice already locked in, but with the personal connection to the material—Johnson’s family has connections to Hawaii, lived there for a time, and his grandfather’s wrestling nickname was the “Flying Hawaiian”—this project seems to be a main priority for Johnson. Deadline’s Mike Fleming writes that the film likely will shoot in 2020 due to Johnson’s busy slate, and that the project is one that Johnson has been thinking about for years. Fleming wrote that when Johnson was working on one of his early films, The Mummy Returns, Johnson said “that his dream was to one day play Kamehameha.” Now, that dream is becoming a reality. The king is described by Deadline as “the legendary king who was the first to unite the warring Hawaiian islands, which fulfilled the prophecy that surrounded his fabled life since birth. He took control of Hawaii’s destiny, and gave the islanders leverage in advancing the culture in trading with the foreign ships from Europe that began showing up on the shores of islands that must have seemed like paradise, albeit a sometimes dangerous one as explorers like Simon Metcalfe and Captain James Cook discovered before Kamehameha forcibly unified the islands.” Johnson became even more motivated to shoot The King after filming Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle in Hawaii in 2016. Johnson’s production company, Seven Bucks Productions, “wanted a visceral historical epic” in the vein of Braveheart, so they enlisted Wallace to write the script, and soon after they were able to lock in Zemeckis, who is known for films like Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Flight. We’ll bring you more about The King as the news develops.

The Rocky and Creed film franchises have become iconic since the first Rocky hit theaters in 1976, but now Rocky Balboa and Adonis Creed are stepping into the video game world in Creed: Rise to Glory. In the virtual reality video game, players step into the ring as Creed to train with Balboa and take on some of the toughest opponents the game's boxing world has to offer. The VR aspect has you immersed in Creed's world, throwing punches, feeling their impact on your opponent, and even slowing down as your in-game persona gets tired, thanks to game developer Survios' "Phantom Melee Technology." The game hits systems everywhere on September 25, less than two months before the much-anticipated Creed 2 hits theaters on November 21. It's available for pre-order on Oculus Home, Steam VR, and PlayStation VR, and will be at over 5,000 VR arcades worldwide on the day it's released. Check out the release date announcement trailer below to see Creed: Rise to Glory in action. [RELATED1]

WWE 'Smackdown' Recap: Becky Lynch Demolishes Charlotte Flair

Carmella may not have the title anymore, but that doesn't mean the Smackdown's Women's Championship Division has gone back to status quo. During Summerslam, Becky Lynch shocked the WWE Universe by attacking her best friend Charlotte Flair after Flair won the championship. On Smackdown last week, Lynch explained her actions, telling the crowd that she deserved the title far more than Flair, who had entered the match at the last minute. This week, Flair had her mandated rematch against Carmella for the title. The bout felt surprisingly even, with Carmella keeping the fight competitive throughout. Charlotte ultimately trapped Carmella in her patented figure-eight submission for the victory. But Charlotte's win was short-lived. As the clearly winded Charlotte held up her championship belt, Lynch came up behind her and delivered a flurry of blows. After finishing her beat-down on Charlotte, Lynch grabbed the microphone and delivered a message: “When I get my way, come Hell in a Cell, I'm taking my title back...you bitch.” We'd say the messagecame through crystal clear. Will Lynch's new ruthless persona give her an upper hand against “The Queen?” We'll find out next month at Hell in a Cell.

Watch 85-Year-Old Ruth Bader Ginsburg Power Through an Impressive Workout

Next time you’re thinking about going easy on the planks or skipping the gym altogether for a couple days, just remember that somewhere in Washington, D.C., 85-year-old Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is ripping through sets of medicine ball pushups, wall squats, and pulldowns with ease alongside her personal trainer, Bryant Johnson. The two-time cancer survivor is an octogenarian workhorse, implementing aerobics, weight training, and TRX bands in order to stay in shape and prolong her career “at least five more years." Stories of her workouts have piqued the curiosity of both the media and the public over the years, prompting political writers and celebrities like Stephen Colbert to try the routine out for themselves (spoiler alert: they couldn't hang). In 2017, Johnson—whom Ginsburg has said is the “most important person” in her life—penned a book about his experience working out with the justice, titled The RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong . . . and You Can Too!. Now you can see Ginsburg in action in the video below, courtesy of a clip from the upcoming CNN documentary RBG.

You Have Time for Your Health
https://ift.tt/2okmtKH Photographer: Bev Childress of Fort Worth, Texas
Time is such a wonderful gift. In the spirit of saving time, I’ll be brief. There are 1,440 minutes in a day. You should sleep roughly 480 of those minutes. That leaves 960 waking minutes.
Time is your most precious resource. All of us, from the richest to the poorest, will watch our own hourglass empty. In each moment we are not simply losing time, we are trading our life for whatever we are doing. The opportunity cost of each choice is the next best activity we could have spent our time doing.
Invest Your TimeThere are two ways to utilize your time: spending and investing. Spending and investing are usually understood through finance. Money spent is gone. Money invested grows and rewards us later down the road. Sometimes we must spend our time meeting needs like eating, earning an income, and playing. I’d argue these are investments in yourself. When we combine the concept of investing time and investing money we develop a nuanced understanding of investment where purchases can be investments.
For example, a decent bike costs $100 or less on Craigslist. It will pay you back with years of health and fun. It will pay your children by modeling an enjoyment for activity and time outside. Reading good books has a similar positive residual effect.
Conversely, buying a 20th $100 pair of shoes is fun at the moment, yet our mind’s hedonic treadmill quickly internalizes the ownership of this acquisition to create a new set point. Our future decisions, actions, and beliefs are unchanged by our snazzy new sneakers. We will still be jealous of our neighbor’s nice duds and still feel the same longing next time we come across a nice pair of shoes. It is money spent.
Research indicates that spending time and money on experiences does more for the person’s happiness than buying things. Experiences are intertwined with our identity. They change our perceptions, inclinations, and capacity for understanding others.
Sometimes we invest our time in people, so invest in a workout partner. This experience often blossoms into friendships and connection that pay us back for years.
Sometimes we invest our time in skill acquisition, thus the role of a coach in our routine. Coaches greater our capability and more future options. Learning to play tennis creates a lifetime social activity. Learning to juggle allows you to entertain and connect with others.
Learning Spanish expands your capacity for connection, broadens your understanding of the world, and promotes deeper future experiences. Learning to deadlift lays the foundation for safely accomplishing household chores and confidently navigating future exercise. Learning to use kettlebells creates the ability to get dynamic, varied exercise anywhere and with only one tool.
These are investments. They will pay you back tenfold. When you spend 30 minutes in the morning scanning social media, 30 minutes upon arrival at the office scanning the internet, or three hours in the evening bingeing Netflix, that time is simply gone. Don’t feel guilty. We all have our vices and they may be healthy in doses. Just be aware of your time.
You Must ExerciseExercise, done consistently, is the most impactful experience. It is a true investment as it offers the promise of giving you more time alive and the ability to do more in that time. Exercise magnifies positive emotion, productivity, energy, and health.
If you sleep eight hours and work another eight hours that leaves 480 minutes. But how much of that “work time” is actually spent productively working?
A Leeds Metropolitan University study found that on days employees exercised they reported “managing their time more effectively, being more productive, and having smoother interactions with their colleagues.” According to stateofobesity.org, obesity costs US employers $4.3 billion dollars annually in job absenteeism and an additional $506 per obese worker in lost productivity.
Poor health lowers productivity and decreases the time you are available to contribute. Exercise doesn’t have to be in a gym or take an hour—15 minutes every morning upon waking, or three-minute circuits done at five pre-programmed alarms throughout the day will go a long way to transform health.
You have time to exercise. If you don’t find time to workout you either haven’t made it a priority, you haven’t learned to manage your time and leverage environmental architecture in your favor, or you did not exercise enough discipline to follow through.
You Must Focus on NutritionYou have time to eat well. You are going to eat. Plan your meals for the week. Get only what is on your shopping list. It takes time to make time. Invest one-hour preparing meals and so that the week runs as smoothly as possible. Invest in Tupperware, an office can-opener, or whatever else you need.
Quick, decent options include:
You can afford to eat well. You have time to eat well. Invest in yourself.
You Really Do Have the TimeThe reality is that we have all the time we need. What we lack is discipline, time management, and time invested in prioritization. We need to ruthlessly eliminate those activities that don’t honor the true value of our time.
If you are confused about where to start, choose health. It is the foundation from which every other pursuit is magnified. For those needing more direction, I recommend my essential six courses covering the core lessons for human fulfillment—everything from the Foundations of a Healthy Lifestyle to 21st Century Time Management. Take the time to invest in yourself. Fitness via Breaking Muscle https://ift.tt/1GxgPEe August 29, 2018 at 10:52AM
The 135-Rep Workout to Test Your Mettle
https://ift.tt/2LBj4Ay
Ian Spanier
The dumbbell lunge is an easier setup than the barbell lunge. Plus, dumbbells, of course, don’t require an open squat rack. But inconvenience is no reason not to lunge with a barbell, especially when the barbell lunge offers two major advantages to lifters:
Perform the following three exercises as a circuit in a 21-15-9 scheme; 21 reps of everything the first time through (rowing should be measured in calories burned—a standard Concept2 rower will measure this), then do 15 reps/calories of all exercises, then 9. Record your total time for future reference. [RELATED1]
