You, Too, Can Train Like the Russian Military

Let’s just get one thing straight:  I was not scared when I got on the subway in New York City to visit the 57th street Complete Body & Spa on the Upper East Side.  I was not scared when I entered and filled out the necessary health paper... Continue reading...

If you’re in a rut or you just haven’t found a workout that works for you yet, I recommend trying a hula-hoop class. You can burn up to 400 to 600 calories in an hour, meet fun people and learn what it feels like to throw some exercise into... Continue reading...

♪ FitHits: Rockin’ Bodies Need Rock!

Sometimes I really do think rock & roll should be some version of an onomatopoeia for working out. Isn’t rocking and rolling what it’s all about anyways? Let’s face it, you never see people calmly and quietly standing in place when... Continue reading...
