So you’ve just returned home to your respective municipalities, run completely ragged from the relentless wonder that is Austin’s Fantastic Fest. For an entire week, you’ve ignored our patented Survival Guide, leading to the untempered imbibing of alcohol, gratuitous flirting with women well outside of your league and the viewing of films that include — for example — upwards of 45 consecutive minutes of rape. Now you’re home, and even your cat isn’t impressed. Congratulations, you survived the Fantastic Fest experience. It’s an experience that, while designed to torture your many regular body functions, is also meant to be survived so that it can be savored throughout the other 51 weeks of the year. Or as we call them around here, Las Semanas Muerto (we’re hip like that). As any righteous outlet should do, we’re looking out for your mental and physical well-being. And while we’re no experts on the subject of healthiness, we do know a thing or two about getting rid of a hangover. Especially one that’s the size of Texas. So here are a few tips to help you get through the post-Fantastic Festicus depression (and indigestion).

In addition to providing health tips, Fitness and Film will occasionally shine a spotlight on the actors and actresses who embody fitness on the big (and small) screen.

From his first truly notable appearance on-screen as Rocky Balboa (a film that saw him nominated for two Oscars), Stallone carved a name for himself through chiseled abs and athletic performances. How many people in the word can claim to have been in such shape that a statue was carved of them and prominently displayed for decades?
