If you’re too hot to run outside, and you refuse to exercise indoors on a treadmill, I don’t blame you. That doesn’t mean you need to give up on your workouts, though. Slip on your bathing suit, find the nearest pool, and start treading.
It’s essentially like running, but you’re floating in water. [...]
Summer wouldn’t be the same without an annual trip to the fair. Aside from thrilling rides and endless tossing games in an effort to win a stuffed bunny, a fair-goer must take part in the decadent, sometimes greasy, and oh-so delicious unhealthy fair food. Let’s see if you can figure if the following popular carnival treats contain over or under the 300 calorie mark. [...]
Dear Fit,
I got engaged last Fall and began running soon after to get in shape for my September wedding. I’ve been able to stick with it, running about 30 minutes three times a week, that is until this extreme heat set in. The past couple of weeks it’s been in the 90s, and so humid. [...]
Bikinis aren’t just for celebrities (don’t forget to vote in our bracket). Sporty gals can sport two-pieces too. Last week I gave you a wealth of one-pieces suitable for sports and style, and this week, I’ve found a ton of great two-pieces that will let you stay active while also looking fashionable. [...]
It’s been remarkably hot here lately, and even though I’m used to doing yoga in a heated room, the 90-degree temps and humidity are starting to get to me. To combat the heat, I decided to check out a new three-class yoga series offered by my studio called Yoga and Paddleboarding. [...]
If you’ve been to a beach, you understand this Summer health hazard: jellyfish. These critters come in all shapes and sizes, and are found in every part of every ocean, from close to the surface to deep sea waters.
Why does a sting hurt so much? A jellyfish sting comes from its tentacles, which carry venom – though only certain kinds of jellyfish will cause a reaction in humans. [...]
Summer sports and string bikinis go together like suntan oil and water, but just because you’re an active beach-goer doesn’t mean you can’t sport a cute suit. Whether you’re a serious swimmer or triathlete or just the type who’d rather work out than lay out at the beach, you’ll need a swimsuit that won’t go flying off every time you move. [...]
The Fourth of July is filled with so much barbecue goodness. It’s hard to resist overindulging on all the homemade hamburgers, BBQ ribs, and creamy potato salad. I definitely overate this weekend, but I’m OK with it, since it was a holiday. I won’t let a little splurging throw me off track completely. [...]
Hamburgers and hot dogs are pretty much the definition of barbecues. Whether you like them smothered with ketchup and mustard or covered in melted cheese, let’s see how these essential grillables compare.

If you enjoyed the Memorial Day stability ball workout and bikini bootcamp video from the Tone It Up group, here’s a Fourth of July workout to help you feel confident in your bikini this weekend.
Tone up in just one move for that red, white, and blue bikini.
It’s a plank, to a ToneItUp tummy tuck, into a tricep push-up, and then a back row! This move tones up the abs, waistline, triceps, and shoulders. [...]
