Ok, peeps, the summer is now just about here. No more time for excuses. Even if you don’t have a gym membership, you can go outside and do all kinds of things now.

These are all open options for you now that the weather is right.As for me, I

2010The Number One Most Effective Weight Loss Tip [Giveaway!]
Filed Under (Equipment Experiments) by Admin on 25-05-2010
“50 Ways To Burn More Calories” is the biggest, boldest headline on this month’s Allure magazine (the one with a spacey Megan Fox on the cover where she says that she can’t stand looking at herself and the thing she loves most is to be alone so she often spaces out to block out crowds – good thing she chose Hollywood as her lifelong career then!) The list of 50 tips mostly includes non-stunners like “get more sleep” “walk more” “watch less TV” and “eat whole foods.” Salmon and brown rice, the cure-all for everything! Thankfully they also include some downright idiotic suggestions for your entertainment: “Wear stillettos – they work your calves!” (and give you bunions and shorted tendons!), “Pop a pill – glutamate supps burn an extra 20 calories!” (20 calories?! You probably burn that just by wrestling off the child-proof cap) and my personal fave “Avoid eating any kind of fat within two hours of a workout – or your body will burn the fat in your protein bar instead of the fat on your butt!” (This cannot possibly be true).

2010The New Karate Kid with Jaden Smith – I’m In!
Filed Under (Fitness Confessions) by Admin on 23-05-2010
Now, I don’t know if it’s because I have a soft heart for "beat your bully" stories, a love of anything that has to do with martial arts or the fact that Jaden is just so damn cute, but I’m going to plunk my money down and go to the theatre for this one. Mind you, that’s something I only do once a year, and when that happens, it had better be worth it!The updated version of The Karate Kid,

2010Time Well Spent

I decided to head over to the gym last night around 7pm and quickly remembered why I typically DON’T go to the gym at night – it was mobbed.

2010The One Piece of Gym Equipment I’ve Never Tried
Filed Under (Equipment Experiments) by Admin on 21-05-2010
You’d think that I of all people would have tried every conceivable piece of gym equipment out there. And trust me, that’s on my list of 100 things to do before I die. It falls somewhere after making a cheese souffle (which requires something called a “ramekin” which I totally don’t have) and before figuring out who killed JFK (somebody did it, by golly). So it is with some embarrassment that I tell you that I only recently discovered the joy of the rowing machine.
