Up with Arms! The Tricep Dip
Tricep Dips Ladies, I am up in arms! (and feeling pun-ny. Can you tell?) Over and over, women everywhere tell me they want tight, toned arms but too many are terrified of bulking up. We ignore our lovely guns and as a result they stay as they are or worsen with time. Time is not a friend of this body part! Are you really ready to relinquish yourself to a tank-top free existence where no one...

Rethink Your Drink - Hot Chocolate
Hot Chocolate Let’s just take a moment to savor those words, shall we? Hawt Chocolate. Mmmmmm…. that’s goooooooood.

I've been secretly dating the homeless... and you...
Background A few months ago, at some ungodly hour, I engaged in an inspiring Twitter exchange with my good friend Brooke Farmer (@Brooke_Farmer if you wanna tweet her!). She had received a mini-bit of friendly/negative backlash when she had hugged a homeless man, and we thought this was ridiculous. They were people, and sometimes, they needed help. Just like us. By the end of our furious...

Ab Assassin - The Reverse Crunch
The Reverse Crunch Show of hands; Who hates that mother-fucking pooch? You know what I mean… Abs don’t come from crunches alone, but even the fittest of us can’t seem to tone & tighten that all important “pooch” area that lies beneath our belly button and heads all the way down to our lovely lady lumps bits.
