Today's Workout
The treadmills at Revolution Fitness have some great interval programs plugged in. I’ve never found a single pre-made treadmill workout to be challenging but these girl you a max and a min speed option, as well as a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3 … So anyway, since it was FREEZING in Boston, I pushed it on the treadmill for 30 minutes with the 1:2 interval program, setting the low at 5.5...

Running without Sneakers?
The 2nd most emailed article today on Boston.com is one about running barefoot and how it’s supposedly better for you. I have heard this argument before but the reason why I will probably never transition lies in the end on the article:
“Runners should transition gradually, because calf and foot muscles will need to build up to avoid injury. Barefoot runners must build up calluses to...
“New research, led by Harvard scientists and published today, shows that people...”

Have you tried running with minimal support or even gasp, barefooted yet?! Would you even dare living in a city!?

What/Who is more annoying?
I think everyone is annoying at some point and would like to know which annoys you the most, from the following…
Case 1: Octomom vs Star
I don’t know who I find more annoying, Star for actually putting her on the cover, or Octomom herself for trying to pose “sexy.” Is she trying to snag a baby daddy to help her raise her circus of children?
Case 2: The Biggest Loser vs...

Unhealthy Hollywood: Heidi on GMA
“Beauty is within,” said Heidi Montag this morning on Good Morning America while promoting her new album “Superficial” and recent plastic surgeries. Listening to her make this statement was like watching McDonald’s Hamburglar say stealing is wrong.
I never cover Speidi, or rather, I didn’t cover Speidi until the past week. I used to believe Heidi was...

Prolonged Periods Of Sitting Linked to Obesity?
“Recent research indicates that prolonged periods of sitting and lack of whole body muscular movement are strongly linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and an overall higher risk of death. This is regardless of whether moderate to vigorous exercise is taken.”
Along with the rise of pesticides, high fructose corn syrup and bigger portions, we as a country have increased...

Watch for me on American Idol tomorrow night!
No I didn’t try out, lol. I did however create a fun music video for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I was given a FlipHD camera to shoot and edit a video featuring the song you’ve been hearing Meghan Mullally sing on TV for a month now. It’s very catchy.
So I’m one of 16 finalists. Three will be featured during a commercial that is going to air during the...

Stevia Taste: Love it or Leave it?
Most of you know I’m an anti-Splenda activist (Find out why here). My sister cringes how Hungry Girl always uses Splenda in her recipes. It’s turned us both off many if not most Hungry Girl endorsements. However today is a new day and I shall give Lisa Lilien another shot at redemption in my book.
Alas! She is now promoting a healthier alternative :) YAY! Having met the...

Burn It [Review]: Jackie Warner's Ab Circuit and...
nutritionista:
We get a variety of Exercise TV workout vids through our standard cable. They change the videos once in awhile, too, so there’s plenty of variety. For many of the workouts, all you need are a couple of light weights. For some, you don’t need any props at all. When I’m resorting to an at-home workout, I usually do one of my tried-and-true Jillian Michaels’ workouts (because they kick...
