Fittingly Mad: Cyclists Not Wearing Helmets!
When I see images of cyclists riding in past Tours de France, they look odd to me. I recognize the riders, but they aren't wearing helmets. But over the course of the last decade, helmets became mandatory in the most prestigious bike race in the world.
Fittingly Mad: Kardashians to Release Quick Trim Diet Product
After months of establishing herself as a curve-loving fitness convert with her own line of videos, Kim Kardashian is taking her body business to another level. And I don't like where it's headed. Kim's sister Khloe told US magazine that the two will share more than a reality show — they'll soon be launching a diet product together called Quicktrim.
Fittingly Mad: Runners Who Pooh-Pooh Walkers
A few times a month, I run with a running group near me. For the most part, everyone is really supportive and there just to meet fellow fit people, learn some tips, and get in a good run. Recently though I overheard some runners badmouthing walkers.
Fittingly Mad: Increased Membership Prices at the Gym
I don't have to tell you that economically speaking, times are tough. Many stores and companies are actually cutting prices to help lure customers to their businesses, but not my gym. Oh no.
Fittingly Mad: Skinny Dressing Room Mirrors
I don't know too many people who enjoy trying on clothes in dressing rooms. Not only is it annoying that sizing varies so much from store to store, but the ginormous mirror and bright lights are utterly unforgiving. You can end up spending more time criticizing your imperfections than checking out the clothes!
Fittingly Mad: Dudes Who Drop Weights
We've heard that it doesn't pay to be macho when lifting weights. So why do so many people — sorry to say, it's primarily men — insist on slamming down their weights? More often than not, my gym workouts are rattled by the clanging of weight plates or the sound of someone dropping a giant barbell onto the floor.
Fittingly Mad: Dog Poo and Hiking Don't Mix
I planned a two hour family hike last weekend and everything was going well, until my little daughter stepped in dog poo. I was so thoroughly disgusted. Not by the smell, but by the irresponsible hikers that walked the trail before us.
Fittingly Mad: Unlimited Indoor Tanning Free With Gym Membership?
There's a gym near me that has tootsie rolls by the front door, and that's not all the goodies they offer. In the lobby they have a bunch of stand-up tanning beds, and one of the memberships perks is unlimited use. WTF?
Fittingly Mad: Vanity Sizing on Workout Clothes
I hate trying on clothes, and the fact that sizes are all over the map doesn't help matters. Some brands run big while others run small, which means I have to take a pile of items into the dressing room. But I got really riled up while shopping for workout clothes this weekend, when I discovered what's apparently a new trend: vanity sizing on workout clothes.
Fittingly Mad: Must You Honk While I Run?
I love to run outside. The warm breeze, wide open spaces, and gorgeous scenery are all really inspirational. I feel so much more alive and energetic running outside than I do inside on a treadmill.
