Figuring Out Fit: Girls Rule But Boys Lose

Figuring Out Fit: Girls Rule But Boys Lose

If you’re still trying to figure out how to stay healthy and active, then you know that any self-esteem boost you can get helps. Recently I was talking with a male friend who has similar health and fitness goals as I do and I suggested that we should challenge each other to maintain a healthy...
Figuring Out Fit: Shaking It Up

Figuring Out Fit: Shaking It Up

Lose weight now! That’s a promise. A pinky-promise made to you by the marketing team of the newest diet fad. Unfortunately, in our society, we are so concerned about losing weight without putting forth any effort that we would pretty much fall for anything that seems easy, you know, kind of like how John Mayer...
Swim, Bike, and Run Your Way Fit: Everyone Can Tri

Swim, Bike, and Run Your Way Fit: Everyone Can Tri

Screaming muscles, burning sun, insatiable thirst, and competitive excitement culminated at Sunday’s Tri for the Cure. This sprint distance triathlon brings women from all walks of life together to compete, challenge themselves, and raise money for breast cancer research. Though an avid swimmer since I could walk, I quit after my senior year of high school and...
The School of Sweat Hot: Gold Stars

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: Anti-Bullying Campaign

I’ve been lucky enough to have many, many mentors as far as my physical education is concerned. Far more than most people are likely to be afforded in their lifetime. My dad was the first, soccer coaches followed–even actual gym teachers. At times, my brother was the real inspiration for me and last year, I...
The School of Sweat Hot: Spring Fever

The School of Sweat Hot: Spring Fever

Spring started early this year for us in ye ol’ Mile High. I don’t know if you’ve heard of this controversial topic people call “global warming.” Mentally, we know this hot-as-hell early weather is a bad thing. The missing snow is a bad, bad thing. But, emotionally and physically, we are happy to sign off...

The School of Sweat Hot: Great Expectations

So, I’m still sweating, still trekking, still really loving everything about Sweating Hot. I like the funny people I meet.

The School of Sweat Hot: Creative License

Spring fever. Unexpected storms. Waiting for that vacation that’s just around the corner. Marriage and kids (so I hear…). These things can occasionally make you feel a little bored and even a little anxious. But, right now—springtime—is the last time anyone should allow themselves to fall into a workout rut or feel miffed by their...

I’ve been riding this ride alllll year.  I will succeed, survive, conquer and win. And, the brilliant feelings outnumber the frustrating ones. Here’s what’s plaguing me: I’m...

My Krav Maga Adventure

  I bet most of you are wondering… What is Krav Maga? That’s what I said too. I saw an advertisement for Krav Maga while riding shotgun about a month ago… And it wasn’t a brightly colored, screaming advertisement that could get your attention from space… It was simple. Just a picture of a woman…...
