Yoga and Running: Opposites Attract
Yoga is great for stretching and toning your muscles, and increasing flexibility, but as far as a great cardio workout for your heart, it doesn't quite cut it.
That's why running is the perfect complement to yoga. It's practically the opposite of yoga on the exercise scale.

Celebrate Daylight Saving Time With a Morning Workout
It's that time of year again, where we "fall back," and turn our clocks back one hour. I love gaining an extra hour this one time of the year, so make the most of it. Don't just go through your day as usual, because you'll never even realize you received that extra 60 minutes.
Class Act: Skinny Jeans Fitness Workout
I won't lie, the name caught my attention: Skinny Jeans Workout, a place where denim and my hamstrings collide. I find the fashion / fitness connection slightly amusing, but the 45 minute class left me more than slightly sweaty. It truly is a sculpting workout that borrows from a diverse array of fitness methods.
P.L.O.W. — Heart Pumping Love Songs For Cardio
Most love songs are soft and sweet, but when it comes to cardio I need a beat to keep me going.

Body Knowledge: Red Blood, Blue Veins?
There is a common misconception among kids that blood, as it courses through our veins on its return trip back to the heart, is blue.
When you look at your arms you see blue veins, but this is a trick of light, or rather a problem with wavelengths. According to Live Science, the blue waves of light are not absorbed by your skin, unlike red light waves, so blue is the color you see because it bounces back.

DVD Review: 10-Minute Solutions Hip-Hop Dance Mix
I tend to avoid hip hop-based fitness videos, out of fear the instructors will be too perky for my taste. But since I like the 10-Minute Solution series, I leaped into 10-Minute Solution Hip-Hop Dance Mix DVD ($13.50) hoping for a good workout and some new moves for the dance floor.
Though most of the routines aren't very club-worthy, they make for a hearty, thorough, but not super-intense cardio workout.
