Workout I Did: Jamba Juice FiTrends Expo, Part Two

Whenever Jamba hosts an event, I know I’m in for a full day of intense muscle jubilee. The first year Jenn and I attended Jamba’s day of workouts, I didn’t properly fuel, and I paid for it handsomely with fatigue and Gumby-like limb movements. This year, I tried to prepare a bit better. I made sure [...]

Turbo Fire Review: It’s All Fired Up

After my marathon, I needed something else to keep me going with my workouts. Jenn gave me the Turbo Fire DVDs, and I thought, “Hey, why not?” I thought it looked intense, but I was determined to tackle it (check out my progress, phase by phase here, here and here). Chalene Johnson, the instructor, takes you [...]

Have a Kinect? Just Dance!

You know the age-old “I don’t have time” excuse? Well, there have been a few reviews, like this review of Just Dance 3 for the Xbox 360, that I’ve put off for just that reason. At first, the reason was legitimate. After all, it came in the mail right when my son was born. But then it kept getting [...]

Learning Some willPower and Grace With Stacey Lei Krauss’ DVD

WillPower and Grace—Did you just think of that 90s show, too? Well, kick that thought out because the DVD that Stacey Lei Krauss (creator of one of the hottest workouts of the year!) has in store for you is way better than any TV show! The only way I can describe it is yoga meets [...]

Raising the “Barre” and Dropping the Ego by Trying Something New

After all these years, you’ve probably come to realize that even when I say I’m going to stick to a new schedule that, well, it doesn’t last for too long. I’ve never really been one to get in a fitness rut. Give me a month or two’s time, and I’ll be trying this and scheduling [...]

Barely Made the Bar with Zayna Gold’s Boston Body Barre DVD

If I once was a Bostonian, am I always a Bostonian? I’m not quite sure, nevertheless the pride which comes from living in Boston for five-years has always stuck with me. It’s one of those things, like when you see a Boston Red Sox cap or a Patriots jersey and you just want to call [...]

Trying a Body by Simone Dance Cardio Class—And an Interview With Simone De La Rue

Recently I became fascinated with an article in The New York Times about fitness instructor Simone De La Rue (her real name!) and her Body by Simone studio. You can read it for yourself here: “Selling the Girlfriend Workout”  but essentially it described a super-fit Aussie (that would be De La Rue) who was getting [...]

We Go to Butt School, Pop Physique’s Cardio Butt School (With Giveaway!)

For obvious reasons, we like workouts that target the buttocks area. (Yes, I just said “buttocks” in all seriousness.) While your rump doesn’t have to look a certain way to be considered “fit bottomed,” it does have to get moving (with a lot of self love back behind it—pun fully intended!). And what’s a better [...]
