This tandem recumbent bike is so much Read more
PartySugar mentioned that we were fortunate enough to meet Michael Chiarello last week - she also mentioned that we got to taste the wines from the Napastyle Wine Club. What she didn't mention was that one of the wines really stood out from the rest. I even had to take a picture of the bottle and remind myself to look it up when we got back. The wine was a 2004 Ars Nova from Tandem winery in Read more
We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar! Between infomercial-style ads for Pajama Pants and Ab Rollers, perhaps you've seen advertisements for P90X DVDs. Or maybe you have a friend who suddenly looked a bit more taut and toned, who casually referenced the muscle confusion-based fitness craze. The point is P90X is undeniably a major exercise movement.

We're happy to present this article from one of our favorite sites, Real Beauty. This weekend I got my very first facial. On an area other than my face. Captivated by a treatment that fights irritating ingrown hairs and, frankly, something that dares to deem itself a facial for your sensitive spots, I volunteered to try.

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar!

And not just from a physical standpoint. That's why — whether readying clients for class reunions, weddings, new jobs, new chapters, or Read more

The Double Helix won't be released until Spring 2012, but the company is giving us a sneak peek at it here!

When I witness someone trip in public, I think I feel more embarrassed than the person who actually stumbled (even if they're beautiful fashion models)! Researchers have now given this experience an appropriate name: vicarious embarrassment. Two tandem studies out of the UK and Germany found that vicarious embarrassment is linked to empathy and activity in the part of the brain associated with Read more
When you think ab work, the first move that comes to mind is often the classic crunch. This move might tone your middle but it's not so good for your back. Repeatedly rounding the spine in a crunch sets the stage for a disk injury, and the crunch doesn't help your posture either.
