The School of Sweat Hot: Behold, the Man Behind the Curtain
As a distinguished observer of the human condition, I can say with certainty that Matt D’Amico, head lifestyle engineer at The BodyLab, is one of the most interesting men I’ve ever encountered. He has this innate ability to tune into what is happening in the mind of a person—especially if that person happens to be...
The School of Sweat Hot: Meet The BodyLab Staff
They might be weirdos, but they’re not fitness weirdos. And, that’s something The BodyLab is very proud of. So, I’m winding down my time at The Lab–and I’m none too pleased about it. I’m moving to New York City (enter Pace Picante commercial here), so nothing’s to be done about it. Over the past eight...
The School of Sweat Hot: Don’t Look a Yogi in the Eye
What, pray tell, is a yoga blog doing under the category of “personal training” you ask? To be fair, it is cross-categorized to stand on its own in the yogasphere, too. But, I adamantly believe that yoga is a part of balanced diet for any one who is seeking overall fitness. And guess what, guys?...
The School of Sweat Hot’s Detox Series: Part 6
So, I’m on my last day of the detox with The BodyLab. Done and done. Was it worth it? The question du jour. I think that I can’t answer that question fully or without a doubt. 1. I have no clue what the aftermath of my insides will be. I might blow up (I mean...
The School of Sweat Hot’s Detox Series: Part 5
For those of you who’ve been keeping up, I took The School of Sweat Hot’s advice and decided to do a detox. I. Am. So. Tired. I don’t know if it’s all the extra hours I’ve been logging on 303 projects or if it’s because of the detox, but baby gotta sleep. So, last time...
The School of Sweat Hot Detox Series: Part 4
So, I’m more than half way done with the detox I’m doing with The BodyLab. I feel pretty awesome. I get a little over-exerted at the end of workouts, but other than that, I feel fine. I worked two photo shoots for 303′s print issue (which I couldn’t be more thrilled about)–and for those of...
The School of Sweat Hot Detox Series: Part 3
So, I’m wrapping Day 6 of The BodyLab‘s detox and I have to say, all of that anxiety was completely unwarranted. I feel just fine. That doesn’t mean that this thing isn’t without it’s challenges. Finding a two-week span when you can say no to almost every single invitation (because most involve food or booze) ...
The School of Sweat Hot’s Detox Series – Part 2
I’m cleaning house with The BodyLab. Their in-house health care professional Sara Peternell hit me with this super-awesome medical food (I said last week you couldn’t get it online, but you can–from a health care providers website), and I’m currently three days in. I’m still not into the hardcore days (5-8), but I’m already experiencing...
The School of Sweat Hot’s Detox Series – Part One
The only times I’ve ever heard the phrase “medical detox” was with some friends of mine who had some serious monkeys on their backs. Shakes, sweats, tremors, nightmares–the works–as they withdrew from things like heroin, oxycodone and cocaine. I have only withdrawn from cigarettes–a fact I’ve mentioned a few times–and save for the pounds I...
The School of Sweat Hot: Gold Stars
Matt D’Amico and I love the analogy of The School of Sweat Hot. It’s like a school where gorgeous people go to sweat at one another. Really, Matt loves it because he’s always thought of his fitness kingdom as graduate school–something I went over in heavy detail in my first BodyLab blog. It’s not a...
The School of Sweat Hot: Red, White and Not Blue
Four score and seven 4ths ago, I had the distinct pleasure of spending my Independence Day in Washington D.C. My friend Kate and I were visiting another friend, Steph, at the bar where she worked. Kate and I were both decidedly hungover and had no intention of repeating the previous night’s boozing. It was July...
The School of Sweat Hot: Hit it or Quit It?
Despite the title of this post, I’m really more of the hit it and quit it type. Ask all of the men I’ve burned through this summer (which would be exactly zero. I’m in no man’s land, truth be told. So, if you know a guy…). Oh, lawd. I’m not actually talking about that type...
