Inspired By Olympic Gymnastics? Try This Slimnastics Workout!

Nikki Glor of NikkiFitness has shared her expertise and workout ideas with us before. Now she has a new book and DVD out, The Slimnastics Workout. The 30-minute workout doesn’t require any equipment, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. It combines gymnastics, plyometrics and advanced yoga to get you in shape. Just check out the [...]

Bethenny Frankel Fits In A Workout, Kinda

Any busy mom knows how tough it can be to fit workouts into your day. You can start an exercise DVD and get interrupted five minutes later by the phone, a crying baby, a kiddo who is refusing to nap, the dog barking like mad (and waking up napping babies)—you name it. That’s why I [...]

Breathe: The Perfect Harmony of Breathing (and a Giveaway!)

Having dipped my toe into the meditation waters a few times, I was excited when Breathe: The Perfect Harmony of Breathing landed in my mailbox. What mom doesn’t need to take a moment (or 20) to herself every now and then to just breathe? Turns out, I had to test out the DVD after putting [...]

Review: Kristen McGee’s Bendigirl Yoga for Kids (with Giveaway!)

Active Learning with ABC Yoga Cards (With a Giveaway!)

After my discussion earlier this week of crazy-swinging-baby yoga, I thought I’d share a more sane approach to kids’ yoga! I received the Learn With Yoga ABC Yoga Cards for Kids to check out, and I must say, I loved this approach to beginner yoga (for kids and beginner adults alike!). Designed for kids ages [...]

Can This Even Be Called ‘Yoga’?

Like the Tiger Mom debate, I’ve been seeing this flip-flying yoga baby everywhere. I guess it’s not so much baby yoga as “dynamic gymnastics,” which could also be called “flinging your baby around kinda like he’s a kettlebell.” I didn’t really enjoy watching the video, and judging from the comments on the article, I’m not [...]
