Healthy happy you.
If there are two machines (or sometimes it is just one machine) that I refuse to use at the gym they are the abductor/adductor machines. These machines require you to either spread your legs as far as they can from a closed knees position, or start with your legs spread wide open and close them, over and over again. Doesn't get any more suggestive than that, now does it? Both, in my opinion, Read more
And the bizarro talent show continues. Last week, we saw a dude snap stuff in half using only his buns of steel. This week, we've got a woman with a dangerous set of thighs. Don't believe me? Watch this video. A watermelon doesn't lie. Read more

I was lucky enough to take a class taught by Manhattan-based yoga teacher Kristin McGee right here in San Francisco! Although one busy lady, Kristin traveled across the country to teach Vinyasa Vibes (a new offering at The Sports Club/LA), a flow-based, powerful yoga sequence enhanced by music. The most musical part of the practice? During Savasana, the class culminated in a live sax solo by Read more
After a weekend spent doing Pilates and ballet-inspired workouts, I experienced a type of muscle soreness that was entirely new to me — my inner thighs (aka adductors) were on fire. While I have a series of stretches that I do after every workout, I now realize that none of them really target this often overlooked area. If you've also been neglecting your inner thighs the way I have, here are a Read more
