August 16, 2019 at 11:37AM by CWC Much like medicine balls or yoga wheels, Pilates rings tend to fall into the category of workout tools that look pretty innocent.

August 12, 2019 at 10:39AM by CWC When an email popped into my inbox back in April with the subject line: “Pitbull and Tony Robbins open new NYC fitness studio,” I had a wild mix of thoughts and emotions: 1) utter confusion wondering WTF these two are doing together, let alone in the fitness world, … Continue reading I took a class at Pitbull and Tony Robbins’ *EXTRA* new workout studio, and it ended with an electrolyte margarita
August 07, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC I’ve noticed a new trend in the gym of late, that’s become about as pertinent as one-shoulder sports bras and wide-leg yoga pants: People drinking coffee during their workouts.

August 05, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC When it comes to knowing when to replace your workout sneakers, they say it all comes down to either how many miles you’ve clocked in them, or how long you’ve had them for.

August 04, 2019 at 11:00AM by CWC This morning, before I started knocking out some chest presses, lat flies, push-ups, and various other upper body stuff with heavy weights, my instructor at Barry’s Bootcamp had the class do some upward dogs. As in, you know, that yoga pose that you do in your sun salutations. … Continue reading Pro tip: Do this yoga move to make any upper body workout more effective
August 04, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC I like to feed two birds with one scone—always. While I do it with multi-tasking beauty products and eating prunes (because, ya know), my workouts are my favorite avenue to combine steps. That’s why I opt for things like resistance band sequences for better posture and yin yoga … Continue reading The full-body workout that stretches *and* tones at the same time
August 03, 2019 at 12:03PM by CWC Move over, Black Mirror, because I’m coming in hot with a truly haunting story. Picture, if you will, a Monday morning.

July 31, 2019 at 10:52AM by CWC I spend $100+ a week on Megaformer Pilates classes. Yes, I know how insane that is. No, I don’t have any intention of bettering my budgeting any time soon.

July 29, 2019 at 01:03PM by CWC It’s often the simplest, most common moves that are the easiest to mess up.

One more that falls … Continue reading The most common butt workout is also one of the easiest to mess up
July 29, 2019 at 12:47PM by CWC It has come to my attention that something called the “Figure 8 Workout” is secretly all the rage in at-home fitness.

July 21, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC This morning, during a Solid[Core] Megaformer class (aka the hardest damn class I’ve ever taken), I straight-up got my ass kicked.

July 21, 2019 at 03:01AM by CWC I’ll admit it: After a hard workout, usually my mind is more focused on what I’m going to eat when I get home, not on my recovery method.

July 20, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC You know that meme that’s like, “I only have 20 minutes left, which is just 10 minutes twice, which is just five minutes four times”? Yeah, I relate to that majorly.

July 19, 2019 at 05:35AM by CWC Medicine balls are one of those things I avoid at the gym (right along with the assault bike and rowing machine) because they’re intimidating to me.

July 16, 2019 at 07:17AM by CWC This morning, I slept through my workout.

But nope! Forty-five minutes … Continue reading 7 free at-home abs workouts that are better than a personal training sesh
July 15, 2019 at 11:15AM by CWC I’m a big fan of multitasking.
