Top 10 most annoying gym personalities
When you spend as much time huffing, puffing and perfecting the power squat as I do, you're bound to develop some pet-peeves at the gym. For the most part, the people who work out along side me are wonderful people (I'm sure) who just want to live stronger, healthier lives. But there are... Read More »

Naked: Sex and the gym
By Anne Fitzgerald, Elastic Waist, on Fri Aug 1, 2008 11:14am PDTAs we have discussed, we go to the gym to feel healthy and robust, to keep our minds in shape and our moods in line, and to feel flat-out good about ourselves and just plain sexy--but have we ever once considered that maybe the gym is also a place to actually have a whole lot of dirty, dirty sex?...

5 steps to braving a stinky, man-filled weight room
By Elastic Waist, on Wed Jul 2, 2008 7:03am PDTI'll admit here, for the first time publicly, I am petrified of the weight room. Want me to run? Sure. Climb Stairs? You got it. Spin Class? I'll be there. Free weights? Sorry, I don't feel well. I know that strength training is imperative for bone health, weight management, stamina and... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog

Free instant complexion booster
By Product Fiend, on Fri Jun 27, 2008 7:58am PDTThere's a health article in the Times called "Fit not Frail: Exercise as a Tonic for Aging," and though its aim is to shed light on the fact that a consistent fitness routine can delay or even prevent some of the pitfalls of age, such as loss of muscle and mobility, leave it to me to see the superficial in this mandate. Because if there's one thing I notice more than all the various health benefits associated with working out, the prime bonus is that of a fabulous complexion. Read More »

Maker's Diet, Days 1-3...
By The Fibro Fairy, on Thu Jun 19, 2008 2:03pm PDTSo far so good. Haven't cheated. The only questionable things I've consumed is some lite salad dressing (not too much either), and I had a can of V8 with breakfast this morning. One of the tiny ones. Removing my favorite Diet Dr. Pepper, and carbs of all kinds is a huge step for me, so... Read More »

Who else is a former sleepyhead?
By Margarita Bertsos, Margarita Shapes Up, Glamour, on Wed Jun 18, 2008 11:24am PDTThe only morning exercise I used to get was lunging from my bed to the dresser to hit the snooze button. I was so not a morning person--I never considered working out before lunchtime an option. Once I got serious about my commitment to do this, I had to nix the possibility of excuses. And the later...

Children in the Locker Room - What's a Girl to Do?
By Mysterious Gryphon, on Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:03am PDTAfter a long, hard workout, I usually reward myself with some time in my gym's hot tub or sauna, both of which require I change out of my sweaty gym clothes and into a bathing suit or towel. And both of which require nudity. Usually, I just strip very quickly in the empty locker room, with... Read More »

"Sweat" Five Letters not Four... why so taboo?
By jOaquin, on Wed Jun 11, 2008 4:04pm PDTI recently got back to the gym after a month or so of laying low and lazy. It's been about two weeks and I have to say, I was a little scared. Every time I went in, I felt fat, lazy, unmotivated and unable to move my carcass onto the treadmill or spin station, it wasn't... Read More »

Confessions of a Virgin Dieter
By Natasha B, on Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:33pm PDTI don't diet. Well, I've tried. SouthBeach lasted 4 days. No candy lasted a week. No red meat, well, I was doing great for three weeks til I had a mini burger the other night while out with my girlfriends. So, it's safe to say that dieting and I have fooled around a couple of times. But... Read More »
