Belly Blasting Workout

It doesn’t even need to be mentioned or explained why people are so uncomfortable and lack confidence with it comes to their mid sections. Some people hide it, some ignore it, some don’t even realize what they look like (HOW?!?), and some work to change it. Here are some preventable belly fat workouts to change [...]

The 30-Minute Outdoor Workout

It is finally consistently beautiful here in Upstate New York. That means sitting in the sunshine all day long, running in the fresh air and not that smelly gym, and taking our workouts outdoors. I always brush up on my fitness techniques and exercises because there are constantly new workouts available. Your body also gets [...]

The 1000 Workout

Anyone can do this and there is no time limit so get going. All of these exercises are simple, yet get a little challenging the closer you get to 100. However, working out isn’t supposed to be easy. I’ve done this a few times and it obviously gets easier the more you do it. But, [...]

Dental Damage

You’ve just finished a pretty intense workout and you’re looking for something refreshing to drink – what do you reach for? More often than not, it’s probably a sports drink; you know, to replenish those lost electrolytes that Gatorade commercials are always telling you about.  But while your body may be thanking you for taking [...]

You sure that’s the right shoe?

I love shoes. Let’s just put that on the table right away. I’ll probably buy any type of shoe or any color shoe depending on what mood I’m in and how much peer pressure is placed upon me. My favorite shoes are my flip-flops because, well, I don’t really like wearing shoes so these are [...]

Relationships Make You Fat

Seriously. Pre-significant other, you’re all about working out, cooking meals at home, and spending quality one-on-one time with your cat. But as soon as that special someone steps into your life it’s a missed workout here, a restaurant meal there, and before you know it, you’re writhing around on the floor trying desperately to squeeze [...]

In Defense of the Childhood Diet

In the April issue of Vogue, an article by Dara-Lynn Weiss outlines the trials and tribulations of putting her seven-year-old daughter, Bea, on a diet. I know what you’re thinking – A seven-year-old? On a diet? That’s Ridiculous! – but before you start screaming accusations of child abuse, take a minute to really think about [...]

Sweatiquette

I have a confession: I don’t always wipe down the machines at the gym after I’m done using them. I know, I’m a terrible person; but sometimes I’m in a hurry! Trust me though, that walk from whatever machine I was on to the exit is the undoubtedly the longest walk of my life after [...]

Spring Break Safety

I have to admit that I am extremely jealous of anyone who gets to go someplace sunny and warm for spring break – almost jealous enough to wish cloudy, rainy weather on anyone lucky enough to leave the Empire State. That being said, I still want all of you to be safe on your spring [...]

Eating Disorders: More than just a strict diet

We’ve all heard of anorexia and bulimia – the two eating disorders most common among men and women. But did you know that there are many other different types of disordered eating? National Eating Disorder Awareness Week took place from February 26 through March 3, (I know, I know; I missed it. Sorry!) It’s a [...]
