This week Katy decided to focus on a topic that I think we should all be thinking about more often, and that is fitness. For more of my commentary on this topic, or inspiration for the gym, read my Health & Fitness/Gymspiration posts. She asked: When you hear the word fitness what do you think? [...]

Gymspiration: Gear to Get You Movin’

It’s that time again in the northern hemisphere! Bikini season is just around the corner. And even if you never plan to put on another bikini ever again, you know shorts are hot hot hot for S/S 2010.

Gymspiration: Gwen Stefani

Although this photo was published a few weeks ago, for some reason, I only recently stumbled across it. My God. Is Ms. Rossdale looking amaaaaaaazing (at 40, after two kids) or what?

Gymspiration: Celebration

I’m seriously over the women-doing-crotch-grabbing-trend, but this song/vid still rocks. It got me so fired up in the gym I contemplated working out for an hour-and-a-half instead of the usual hour.

More Tracy

So last post was about Tracy Anderson and her approach to fitness. Yes, she’s training Madonna and Gwynnie. Madonna, as we all know, has been shredded for years, and although she claimed for a time that her physique was all due to Ashtanga yoga and that she’d quit weights, I know better. She might have [...]

Tracy Anderson Method

I recently read about Tracy Anderson, personal trainer to Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, and was very intrigued by her regime, aka the Tracy Anderson Method. Instead of regurgitating her philosophy and background, if you’re interested, read up on it when you have some time. While I won’t be taking all my weight training down to [...]
