Step 1: Identify Your Shape

• Apple: Your waist is much wider than your hips and is the same size, or almost the same size as your bust.
• Pear shape: Your hips are wider than your waist and your bust.
• Hourglass: Your bust and hips are about the same width and your waist is much smaller.
• Rectangle: You’re thin with little or no difference between your hips, waist and bust.

Crazy bi-polar weather can be disrupting when you have the desire to workout outdoors. You see bright sun and think “yes I can go running in the park” then you walk outside and the gust of wind spoils your outdoor plans. Whomp whomp so much for fresh air.

What’s the solution?  Wearing a Lightweight Spring Jacket! Unfortunately for us who live on the east coast, the weather has been a wonky recently, preventing us from making solid exercise plans: indoors vs outdoors, gym vs park, planking on the grass vs. planking on a mat, you get the drift.

Here are three spring jackets that are perfect for those morning chilly runs and for other workouts when the temperature is creeping up to 70 degrees!

We’ve been talking about skinny jeans all month. From outfits to workouts to diets we are obsessed. But what about jeans that actually make you look… SKINNY? We had no idea (or else we would have told you), but these exist. Enter SkinnyJeans®: jeans that make every body type look thinner whether it is pear, apple, straight or hourglass.

Here are 10 reasons why SkinnyJeans® are amazing. And you know we’re not ones to tell you how awesome something is and then leave you hanging. We’re giving one lucky reader a chance to win a pair! Check out the difference between these jeans and other brands, read our list below, then enter!

1. SkinnyJeans® are made from classic denim but with a high nylon/elastane content.
2. The thighs are very ‘scooped’ out which drastically separates and slims the thighs and pushes the butt out creating a shapely silhouette.
3. The inseams are drawn forward on the leg making it appear that there is less ‘real estate’ on the front of the leg.
4. The inside non-stretch cotton pocketing lining the front pockets is sewn into the front seam so when the jeans are zipped up a restraining panel is created that pushes the entire stomach area in.

It’s 7 am, your alarm clock is incessantly buzzing, signaling it is time to rise and shine and prepare for your day ahead.  You jump off the bed, get in the shower and repeat your daily affirmations, “I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman!” After your mental preparation, you decide “Okay I am ready to sweat sweat sweat.” You go into your drawer  grab your frumpy t-shirt and shorts because you figure “it is going to get sweaty regardless.”

Unaware that your  enthusiasm to exercise is decreasing,  looking into the mirror you see thunder thighs and suddenly you have grown a muffin top. You repeat again ” I am strong, I am invincible  I am woman.” But this time the motivation and confidence to go workout  is lacking. You realize your frumpy outfit is the source of your declining motivation and self-confidence.

Although at first thought choosing ”nice” clothing doesn’t make sense, the reality is when you wear clothing that compliments and flatters your body, you will receive  the confidence and the motivation needed to do a kick butt in your exercise routine! Here are 5 tips!

Transitioning your closet from winter to spring wear can be tricky especially when your wardrobe is lacking the essentials. As women it is very difficult to resist the new trends especially when a new season comes rolling around the corner. We want to get our hands on all the new fads, making impulsive purchases rather than thinking thoroughly through our decisions. But what happens when the trends go from rad to just bad! We are left with  piles and piles of  unused clothes sitting in the closet, and then complain we have nothing to wear. 

We’ve got 4 items you should definitely have in your closet!  Remember styles come and go but staples are forever!.

It’s about time to reward yourself for all those squats, burpees, lunges, elliptical training, “stair mastering” and “treadmilling” that you have endured in order to  tone and firm your lower body. So what does the average woman do to treat herself? Eat a cupcake? No!  Show off the results of your hardcore lower body training by shopping for a new pair of skinny jeans.

This month we want you to show off those sexy assets and sport the “frenemy”- the skinny jean!

Whether for work or for play, women are on their feet all day, and wearing uncomfortable shoes can send shockwaves of pain throughout your body. That’s why medical doctor, Dr. Lisa Masterson, of the Emmy® Award- winning series, The Doctors, created the Dr. Lisa Therafit Shoe, the newest entry into the expanding trend of comfort shoe technology.

Built into each pair of Therafit is their patented cutting-edge technology; the outsole can be adjusted to allow an increase or decrease in impact resistance. The Therafit Personal Comfort System (PCS) Technology also utilizes three specially designed dual-density Adapters located within the shock-absorbing wedge that can be removed to change the shoe’s impact resistance and cushioning. Tired, aching feet? Remove one, two or all three of the Personal Comfort Adapters to change the resistance. Ready for a different feeling on your feet the next day? Pop them back in and get going!
