Get Your RPE On
May 30, 2008 by Jenn

Retro Review: Strength Building Yoga
May 29, 2008 by Erin
I don’t claim to be any sort of yoga guru. I enjoy yoga, but my hammies always tell me that I need to be doing it more often. They say that yoga is a practice and if Rodney Yee: Strength Building Yoga taught me anything, it’s that I need more practice.... Continue reading...

FitWit: Wii Think It’s Funny
May 23, 2008 by Erin

Under Review: Walk At Home
May 22, 2008 by Jenn
As mentioned in our first post, the FBGs are not haters. All exercise is good exercise. With that being said… Leslie Sansone’s recent DVD release, Walk at Home: 5 Mile, didn’t exactly have me walking on air. While Leslie is endearing... Continue reading...
Some Method to Our Madness
May 22, 2008 by Jenn
The FBGs know that getting to the gym isn’t always possible. And, gosh darn it, sometimes the weather just doesn’t cooperate. (Overcrowded gyms and Mother Nature can be such a pain in the arse.) To remedy this pesky problem, we’ve decided... Continue reading...
