celebrity series #10: Terry Crews

I have been watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I have been rewatching White Chicks and all I have to say is that Terry Crews is the BEST person in the world. He's positive. He's funny. He's an advocate against sexual assault and male stereotypes. He's a beefy unicorn. And obviously he has an insane workout. Crews …

celebrity series #9: KUWTK

Ok ok ok ok. I have never seen the show, but I did spend last summer obsessively Googleing the Tristan/Khloe saga + rumours of Kourtney wanting to leave the family and go live on a farm. So I don't know a lot of their history or why you might hate them (Kim seems nice?) or …

celebrity series #8: Justin Bieber

"What do you mean..." There are Beliebers, and then there are people who aren't Justin's biggest fans, but if you're looking for an effective workout, you're actually going to love his workout. As a leaner guy, Justin struggled to put on muscle. His trainer had him work super sets (in regular sets, you take a break …

micro-dosing with sugar for an effective workout

I was sitting in my car this one time, eating chocolate chip cookies before teaching a spin class to get hyped up. That's when I realized I was micro-dosing with sugar in the same way someone might take a small amount of a drug (weed, 'shrooms, giggle pig) to feel the effects of it, but …

do you miss your megaformer?

In this life of quarantine, we're all making changes and sacrifices. Yes, we can workout at home, but if your exercise of choice is with the megaformer, then that change/sacrifice might feel a little greater. (unless you're Sofia Vergara -- "I have a Megaformer," -- cool Sofia, I have a toaster.) While we can't completely …

celebrity series #7: Demi Moore for G.I. Jane

The first thing I will say is that I still haven't seen the movie. The second thing is that I will NOT be telling you how to do a one-handed push up. That's more liability than I care to assume responsibility for. You can see Moore here cranking them out. I thought, "Hey, I can …

celebrity series #6: David Beckham

David Beckham's workout from his footy-playing days really impressed me. Obviously this guy was going to have an intense workout -- but holy shit. Nowadays, Beckham practices something called "Fitness Snacking" (short periods of exercise done throughout your day as opposed to one longer workout), but back in his footy playing days, it was definitely …

celebrity series #5: Jane Fonda

Fonda created her workout empire for women to do at home because women weren't going to the gym. It was a place where men went and lifted weights and grunted and were really sweaty and manly and etc. etc. It's hard to imagine that situation today, but she was really a beacon of light for the …

celebrity series #4: the Rock

A strong workout to follow a strong workout (Serena's) -- Dwayne, "The Rock", Johnson was requested to be our male celebrity for the following week. As you may have guessed, his actual workout is insanity. The synopsis? Everyday he gets up at 4 a.m. and goes for a 30-50 minute run, then focuses on a …

the couch potato workout

Did you ever think we'd live in a world where you'd be COMMENDED for staying home? Where spending on hours on your couch was the right thing to do? Where working from home wasn't something you wished for, but a reality? There are way worse ways a global issue could go than this, so maybe …
