Now THAT’S a good bridesmaid! The middle school locker room has left many a lasting imprint on my mind, most shudder-inducing, but there is one I still giggle about.

The Japanese see-through skirt trend is one I will never be able to get behind (har har) If you had 50$ to buy yourself any piece of fitness gear you want, what would it be? Boxing gloves?

When you are first starting out an exercise program, the weight machines look like medivel torture devices, you don’t know a hamstring curl from a cheese curl and the cardio machine buttons might as …
Today an old friend and I were reunited at the gym. It was a glorious moment – shouts of delight, introductions all around and a tight hug. A really really tight hug, right around my chest. No it wasn’t Charlie Sheen on the rebound again. It was my trusty heart rate monitor, dug out of …
If you have time to conquer rogue planets from your swimming pool, you definitely have time to fit in a quick workout! “I don’t have time to exercise.” Probably the most oft used excuse of all time when people are explaining their lack of working out. And I believe them! Sort of. While it is …

(Dear Dad, you are going to want to stop reading here. Seriously. Actually all men will probably want to skip this one.) Now that Jon and Kate are finally divorced (the 8 went with Kate – I’m guessing the Judge was a Dr. Suess fan), the country can now focus its collective attention on more …
