Super Snack Swaps: Chips & Dips

 

 

It’s NFL playoff season and plenty of football to watch in the countdown to the Superbowl. Game time is snack time. No need to sabotage your diet with all the healthy chips and dips available at most grocery and convenience stores.

Robin Barrie Kaiden MS, RD, CDN, CSSD, one of the nation’s leading experts in personal wellness and nutrition, recommends crunchy snacks like organic popcorn, chips, and nuts cooked in olive or avocado oil. Avoid refined vegetable oils like corn oil, sunflower oil, and safflower oil.

Says Kaiden, “I love Kettle Brand Chips made with avocado oil. For tortilla-style chips, my favorite are Siete. They are grain free made only with cassava flour, avocado oil, coconut flour, chia seeds and salt.” Read More

Jumping rope is long known to be one of the most efficient workouts with a myriad of health and fitness benefits. It provides a full body workout by engaging multiple muscle groups, improving cardiovascular conditioning while enhancing coordination and agility. In addition, a jump rope is the most inexpensive, space-saving, portable piece of fitness equipment money can buy.

One of the most effective calorie-torching activities, studies have shown that just 10 minutes of jumping rope offers the same cardiovascular benefits as a 30-minute run. A high-intensity aerobic exercise, jumping rope has the “afterburn effect”, also known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), that keeps your body burning calories even after the workout is done.

The right equipment and proper technique are essential to keep jumping long enough to gain these fitness benefits. We turned to one of the most renowned boxing trainers, Micheal Olajide Jr., for some basic tips on both. Read More

What a year in sport was 2024. In addition to the major sporting events we’re glued to every year like The Super Bowl, March Madness, Wimbledon, The Masters, The World Series, The Stanley Cup, and more… this was a summer Olympic Year. The 45 sports of Paris 2024 were like a year’s worth of competition crammed into 16 days. You also had the UEFA European Football Championship that for soccer fans is as big as the World Cup.

Getty Images and their seasoned roster of sport photographers were there to capture it all – every second of every sporting event, all year long. We spoke with Michael Heiman, VP of Global Sport who shared picture by picture what it takes to document all these unforgettable moments – not just the action, but the emotions too – and get them out into the world seconds after they happen. Every picture tells a story. Read More

Something to Boast About

 

 
Professional tennis returned to Madison Square Garden on December 4th with The Garden Cup, a special one-night-only exhibition tennis match that featured four of the biggest stars in the sport. Four-time grand slam champion Carlos Alcaraz took on American powerhouse Ben Shelton, and US Open stars Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro squared off in an All-American battle.

Though Alcaraz defeated Shelton, and Navarro bested Pegula, exhibition tennis is not really about the competition. Yes, the players are out there to win, but they are really out there to put on a show with a display of behind-the-back, through-the-legs, around-the-net trick shots that elicit a roar from the crowd every point. And speaking of the crowd, occasionally they get pulled on to the court to play a point or two.

One of the sponsors of the Garden Cup was cult tennis brand BOAST who outfitted the officials, event staff, and ball persons. BOAST was also the presenting sponsor of The Garden Cup Junior Match featuring rising stars and identical twins Kristina and Annika Penickova. Since 2008, Madison Square Garden has been a platform for showcasing the best young tennis players in the world, giving juniors the opportunity to experience competition in one of the most iconic venues in sports. Past participants include US Open champions Coco Gauff and Sloane Stephens, as well as American standouts Frances Tiafoe and Reilly Opelka. Read More
