2010What are you going to be for Halloween this year? I know, I know we’re still more than a month out but I’ve got the annual Turboween coming up! It may possibly be my most favorite Turbo workout of the year. This year the theme is “Superheroes” and while my house is replete with capes they all kind of smell like pee or have peanut butter stuck to them. Or both. So I’m on the hunt for the perfect Superhero-ine costume* (that will still let me crescent kick and smash heads into my knee.) In addition, the Gym Buddies and I are running in this year’s Monster Dash and of course we are dressing up for that too which means we need costumes we can run 10 miles in without chafing.

You already know that many starlets grace (is grace really the word I’m looking for here?) magazine covers half undressed but did you hear about Carey Mulligan wearing a towel around her bottom on the cover of Vogue this month? No it’s not the latest terry-cloth fashion hot off the runway – as if! - poor Carey was actually the victim of an ill-fitting haute couture dress. As she explains: “The cover dress was very pretty but wouldn’t go over my arse. Sample size is very, very tiny. I’m actually wearing a towel around my waist and the bottom is clipped up because I couldn’t fit.”

2010One of my Facebook friends posted this, and I think it’s worth a little more exposure. First of all, let me admit that I didn’t even know that female wrestling was big in Bolivia. Secondly, these are some tough chicas. I sure wouldn’t want to f with them! The main character, Carmen, is told that she must choose between wrestling and her family. Damn! ![]()

2010If there’s one move that you will find in every workout from Jillian Michael’s to CrossFit to Bootcamp to Prison, it’s the lowly push-up. (Pushup? Push up? Whatever.) For good reason too, they work your shoulders, back, chest and even your core. But let’s be honest, push-ups have their drawbacks. They can be hard on your wrists. They can give you neck or back pain. They can be too difficult. Or they can be too easy, depending on your skill level. But for me the real downside is how boring regular push-ups get. So today the Gym Buddies and I take you into our gym to show you 33 variations on the push-up (and one mammoth fail!). Try one today!

Chalk it up to a loaded genetic gun, the shortening days, Jelly Bean’s self-weaning (she was my oxytocin dealer, yo) or an illness in the family – How about d) all of the above? – but I’ve dove headlong back into the dumpster of depression. (I have not, however, lost my powers of alliteration. It’s like the super power Wonder Woman would have if she wore glasses and had a slight overbite.)

So many questions: If sitting in the front seat and getting fresh air is supposed to prevent motion sickness, wouldn’t a motorcycle be the ultimate puke preventer? And why not take your helmet off to spew? Who bets the dog didn’t mind sloppy seconds? Lastly, don’t you wish you’d waited until you’d finished breakfast to read this? You’re welcome.
