Has a Workout Ever Moved You to Tears?
Exercise can do more than just benefit the body; it can also offer an emotional release as well as provide much-needed self time. A contestant on The Biggest Loser cries every time she sprints on the treadmill. I have had Pilates clients ball their eyes out as they rediscover their long lost deep abs post C-Section, or out of frustration over their pain.

My Sleep Method: Tire Your Children Out
I never could stomach letting my children cry it out. Despite friends who swear by the method and have logged enviable amounts of sleep, I can't imagine hitting the hay while my infant whimpers.
In working staggered schedules, my husband and I came up with our own method — tire them out.
Rock, Paper, Scissors! Who Takes Care of Baby?
It's 3 a.m., the baby's crying and both mom and dad feign sleep in order to avoid getting out of bed. Or there's a stench coming from the infant's bottom and neither mom nor dad admits they smell it. Like marriage, parenting involves a significant amount of compromise and deciding whose turn it is to change the diaper or go out with their friends can lead to bickering and blowouts.
Class Act: CrossFit Training
When I showed up to meet my CrossFit certified trainer, Sean Murphy, I found myself approaching a co-ed group performing Olympic lifting as part of an ongoing group class. The outdoor facility was as simple as it gets — a group of mats under a weather-protective tarp, a set of monkey bars, a shed for housing basic supplies like jump ropes and weights, and tractor tires resting about. The rugged scene was a far cry from the luxury home of my morning workouts at Equinox, but the fitness element challenged me in an entirely different and refreshing way.
