The Beach Is a Workout Waiting to Happen
Who doesn't love spending time at the beach? Cameron is one starlet that takes advantage of all the beach has to offer. I love that she doesn't just lounge on the sand, but plays in the water practically non-stop.

Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: Elliptical Speed Play
When it comes to which type of cardio machine you all prefer, the elliptical won by a decent margin. To celebrate the machine, I created this workout. It's rather straightforward (that's a clue that there's no backward pedaling in the workout), but fun due to all the speed changes.
Get It Up, Your Heart Rate That Is: Urban Speed Play
Playing with speed is a fun and effective way to workout, and when the Swedes do it they call it fartlek. How could a word that sounds so silly not be fun? Fartlek means "speed play" and it is a kind of interval training, but using sprints varying in length from eight seconds to 2 minutes.
Exercise, Weight Loss, and the Fat Burning Zone
Much has been made of late about exercise and its relation to weight loss. There was the Time cover story The Myth About Weight Loss and a recent article on the topic in the New York Times, which recommended working out in the fat burning zone.
You see the phrase on all types of cardio machines: the fat burning zone, aka the "weight loss zone," means working out at a lower intensity to burn fat as fuel.
P.L.O.W. (Play List of the Week): Oscar Best Song Winners
With the Oscars airing tonight, how could I NOT do a play list of Academy Award winning songs. I couldn't pass up Jennifer Hudson's nominated song from Dreamgirls. I guess you can tell where I cast my vote in that category.
Game Review: Your Shape For Wii
There's a new fitness game in town and it's ready to work you out and make you sweat. Your Shape ($69), a new Wii game by Ubisoft, makes Jenny McCarthy your workout coach and training buddy so you don't have to sweat it out alone.
The game comes with a camera that you perch on your TV; it captures your image and plays it on your TV so you move with a reflection of yourself, like looking in a mirror.
The Beckhams Have a Weekend of Fitness and Family
David Beckham took a break from his basketball routine to bring Cruz and Romeo out to see the LA Kings play the Nashville Predators in a hockey game on Saturday night. Victoria and Brooklyn didn't go along for the outing, but she was out solo earlier in the day to pay a visit to her gym as she keeps plugging away on her intense workout regimen. Victoria is also apparently gearing up to take on more responsibility work-wise, as she's rumored to be thinking of starting a modeling agency with her manager Simon Fuller.
P.L.O.W. — Featured User Addition
I recently asked you guys what songs were moving you to workout (or while you workout) and you all gave some great songs. A few of you even listed entire playlists! I am loving this playlist from fashionhore because it combines oldies an goodies.
P.L.O.W. (Play List of the Week): Get Your Irish Up
Nothing gets your heart rate up like dancing a jig. The Irish definitely have that down. While this play list contains no songs from Lord of the Dance, it is chock full of fun Irish music to move to.
