There are a few reasons Nicholas Kolcheff, better known as Nickmercs in the gaming world, is watched by millions on Twitch and YouTube. For one, the guy is a good (virtual) hang. UFC champion Max Holloway and Tampa Bay Buccaneer wide receiver Mike Evans are just a few fans who enjoy the gamer’s vibes, and count themselves among his MFAM online community. For another, the guy can absolutely slay in Call Of Duty: Warzone.

“There are a lot of things I’m not good at, but I’m fucking good at this game,” says Kolcheff. That statement is backed by the fact the Michigan native just dropped his personal record in the Activision battle royale, racking up 39 kills. The accomplishment is one to celebrate, but even more so, the fact that tens of thousands of people tuned in live to watch him do it on Twitch. “The game is really … Read the rest

“God forbid, don’t look back!”

Those are not the words you want to hear while skiing. But that’s exactly what one unfortunate skier heard from onlookers in the chairlift above. The reason for the dire warning? He was being chased down the mountain by a bear.

This terrifying scenario took place at Romania’s Predeal Ski Resort when a lone skier managed to attract the attention of one very grumpy bear. The video of the incident is captured from people sitting on the ski lift, who helplessly watch as the skier carved his way down the slope, with the bear in hot pursuit.

“Go faster, go faster,” yelled onlookers, according to Ziarul de iasi (ZDI). “Come on, the bear is chasing you. Go faster.”

Easier said than done, especially when a fall could result in a mauling. Thankfully, the skier managed to make it to the bottom of the mountain unscathed.… Read the rest

Your lower abs are high maintenance. It takes a clean diet and consistent regimen to make them pop. While your total-body sessions hit your core, it’s equally important to do a targeted lower ab workout at least once a week. Doing so can reduce and prevent low-back pain, and help correct posture and pelvic tilt issues. A strong core connection and understanding how to engage your lower abs will improve your everyday movements but also unlock greater strength gains whether you’re training at home or in the gym.

Over time, you’ll stop overworking the muscles you’re not trying to target—but often take over—and see more defined lower abs. Some tips before you attack the lower ab workout below: Targeting the lower abs can be thwarted by … Read the rest

In the last days of 2020, Oculus quietly rolled out a fitness tracker, called Oculus Move, that lives inside its Quest headsets. Users who download the software can watch the calories they burn in virtual reality, along with their physically active minutes, climb on a ticker floating above or below their field of view. With a deeper dive into the tracker’s dashboard, they can also set goals and track their progress over time.

Move appears to be an acknowledgment from Oculus that fitness is a primary reason for many people to use VR. That’s certainly the case for me. I’m not much of a gamer in general, but for the past couple months, I’ve exercised nearly every day in virtual reality. And despite what you might think about the incompatibility of video games and exercise, these are serious workouts. Some end with me gasping for breath and wringing sweat from … Read the rest
