Workout I Did: Brick, Baby, Brick

Just a reminder that this is our new feature called Workout I Did. Read them all and feel the workout love here! Brick. It’s a word that strikes fear in the hearts of basketball players everywhere, and also? It makes triathletes a little nervous, too. A brick is a workout that combines two of the [...]

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not: Kristen vs. Cycling

My Two Loves Combined: Acting and Exercise

It’s no secret by now that I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. I love (almost) all things Hollywood, so you can imagine how my fit bottomed heart soared when I saw this Tumblr page featuring two things near and dear to my heart: actors and exercise.
