They say still waters run deep, but I say deep water is for running. Let me explain. I recently suffered a pulled calf muscle — an entirely new injury to me. After three days of doing the R.I.C.E. thing (as well as feeling sorry for myself), I was craving a workout, but still walking with quite a limp. I could tell that even the elliptical was still out of my range, so I tried some deep water Read more

Shawn Johnson never officially retired from gymnastics. Although she toyed with the idea after the 2008 games, she's once again set her sights on the Olympics. But the decision to step back into competition wasn't simple. It took a a self-described "garage sale" wipeout on the ski slopes to end her indecision. Ironically, skiing, the only activity Shawn's long-time coach Liang Chow (they've Read more

Occasionally, I like to hop on the treadmill and slow it way down while pumping the incline way up. Walking workouts add variety to cardio sessions and can be perfect for those days when running seems out of the question or you're rehabbing an injury that makes running a no-no. Try this hilly hike next time you need to get your sweat on but don't feel like pounding the pavement. Check out the Read more

Burgeoning model Liam gets the chance to walk the runway on this week's 90210 but rather than head to New York or Milan, he struts his stuff on a CU catwalk. It's all part of the college's fashion designing competition, which pits rivals Holly and Naomi against one another, and has each girl pulling out all the stops to ruin her competitor's chance of winning. Meanwhile, Annie tries to find a Read more

Thanksgiving brings unseasonably warm weather on this week’s 90210, but the temperature isn’t the only thing heating up in Beverly Hills. Tensions rise between Ivy and Raj, as well as Naomi and Austin, with only one couple managing to work out their problems by the episode’s end.

The 90210 gang is far from Beverly Hills this week when they take an impromptu trip to Vegas, but drama always seems to find them. Naomi spends most of her time trying to get Austin to pay attention to her, while Dixon sweats his way from casino to casino as he tries to resist the temptation to do drugs. Elsewhere on the strip, one gal catches her beau in the arms of another woman, and someone Read more

Pilates has a rep as a girly exercise form that attracts ladies who lunch. Private sessions can be pricey, but mat classes will work your entire body. Originally called Contrology, the practice was actually developed to rehab injured soldiers after WW I — talk about functional fitness! After teaching the method for years (and rehabbing my own chronic back injury with it), I have decided Pilates Read more

When I first started seeing my trainer, he immediately knew I had sprained my ankle a month or two before meeting with him: my balance was off and the left side of my body had become stronger. As my trainer put it, my left side was overcompensating for the sprain in my right ankle. Instead of spending so much time off of my ankle, he wanted me to start exercising on it as a way to make it strong Read more
