Professional skier and three-time Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso is one of many of the amazing athletes who inspire us to be better—and work out harder to reach our true potential.

Whether you’re a basketball fan or not, Essence Carson is one cool—and fit—chick. Not only does she play the guard/forward position for the New York Liberty and truly enjoy working out and staying healthy and fit outside of the league, she’s also a celeb ambassador for HEI, a health-based non-profit that advances health equity in under-served [...]

What Sport Are You Most Psyched to Watch at the Olympic Games?

It’s well established (and then some) that we are over the moon that the Olympic Games have started. And that we’re a bit obsessed with swimming. But, there’s seriously not a sport out there that we won’t watch at London 2012. Archery? Table tennis? Handball? Fencing? We’re so, so down. But today we want to [...]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (in which case, come on out—non-rock living is pretty rad!), you know who Abby Wambach is.

Finding a Lifelong Love

I ran a 5K at a golf course a couple of weeks ago, and when I walked inside to grab my post-race $1 beer (hey, if that’s not incentive to hurry across the finish line, what is?), I was surprised to see one of the girls I used to coach serving the drinks. When I [...]

4 Reasons Why Golf Is a Great Workout

The following is a sponsored post. For our sponsored post policy, click here. It’s Fit Bottomed Dudes’ Week, and when I think of dudes, I think of my dad, the original Fit Bottomed Dude in my life. And you know what my dad likes to do? Golf. He pretty much takes any chance he can to [...]

Fit Bottomed Dudes Helped Make Me an Athlete

It’s no surprise that when I got married eight years ago, I exchanged rings and vows with a rather athletic man. Jared, like Jenn’s husband, is a natural athlete.
