Celebs: Jessica Biel

My favorite thing about Jessica Biel? When asked how she keeps her incredible figure, she once reportedly told Fox 411: “I have no life … I spend a lot time in yoga class.” Word. A professional makeup artist friend of mine did my makeup for my recent red carpet walk (ha! I was just there…

100s

CrossFit Workout: 100 Thrusters for Time. Maximum pain in the minimum amount of time. Me: 12:10 at 75#, the soreness kicked in before the reps were even done. The personal trainer next to me watched me complete my reps and said, “I wanna be like you when I grow up.” He’s older than me. Today,…

Hunger Games Workout

The weather in Aspen has been absolutely amazing, rendering it completely impossible to imagine working out anywhere but outside in Nature’s Garage Gym. This time, though, I took to Hunter Creek Trail for a trail run with strength workout mixed in and it was AWESOME. Running up the trail, dodging rocks, boulders, sticks, a little…

Back to Nature’s Garage Gym

It’s only mid-March, but Aspen is experiencing an early spring, so it’s back to Nature’s Garage Gym for me! I was NOT feeling working out today, with an intense sunburn from Miami, but I did it anyway (it was the Hap for the day, and how can I not do that?) I ran down the Rio…

Compliment or Insult: Bar Edition

Today, let’s take Compliment or Insult outside of the fabled Aspen Club gym and into a little basement bar we like to call Escobar. It’s where Brooke Mueller got arrested with like five ounces of cocaine “for her friends.” It’s a Tuesday night, and Nappy Roots has sold out Belly Up with $15 tickets. I am…

Compliment or Insult: Where’s the Bigger Weight?

Welcome to this edition of my very favorite gym game, Compliment or Insult. Scene: Aspen Club Strength Workout: 3-3-3 Deadlift, with the 3rd lift at 245# Man: staring at me from the cardio deck above the weightroom floor. Possibly from a treadmill. Burn Workout: 5 Rounds: 5 DL @ 115# / 10 pushups Man: “Where’s…

Readers from Run Hundred–the web’s most heavily-trafficked site for workout music–were  polled regarding their favorite current workout songs. The full list…

Better-lookin’ jorts

I have a pair of jorts that I’ve had for quite some time. Since my eBay buying phase, when I ordered a pair of Hollisters that were too short for these long legs. Probably early college, let’s call it. They have fit me more or less the same way since then, as my shape may…
