Don't get me wrong. I'm a fashion loving girly-girl who lives for long showers. But every once in a while, I like to work out in the mud. If you've ever considered doing a mud run, check out my fitness fashion tips for getting dirty in ultimate comfort and style. Because it is possible to combat crawl through a muddy trench with a Mr. Clean smile and a wink of confidence. It's a dirty catwalk, girls. But I know you can work it!
SUNDAY MUDDY SUNDAY
This is how I spent my Sunday morning. And I must say, I loved every minute of it. Part of me is even still laughing because it's silly to think I ran a 5K covered in mud. And that was the fun part! If you're looking to do a mud run yourself, I highly recommend the Down & Dirty Merrell Mud Run Series. For your 1st mud run, start with a 5K and do the 10K next time. The amount of mud that you run and crawl through is a lot more than you think. And because of the slip...
I'm sorry to have to tell you that they don't work. Especially in all the amazing ways that Reebok's catchy ads told you they would. I hate when stuff like this happens. It's like the time I bought Sea Monkeys only to discover that the cute little creatures advertised were, in fact, just pellets that expanded into dead worms in water. Shame on you, Reebok, for tricking people into buying Sea Monkey shoes! If you've been duped or just like a good story, the video below elaborates on Reebok's latest drama and how they're making it up to people who bought their shoes.
Even though Reebok stands behind their toning shoes and success rate numbers, the FTC is making sure everyone knows that Reebok's claims don't hold up to research findings. An FTC consumer protection director named David Vladeck delivered the following statement to reporters:

I love Fall (especially here in New York City) but it always comes a bit too early. Save yourself from goosebumps and an itchy-sore throat by dressing more appropriately for the inevitable temperature drop. Put your summer stuff away for next year and check out these Fall trends that you can easily plug into your fitness wardrobe. And that's not all...I'm giving away a $100 gift card to Bodywear Boutique so that you can shop for a new fall workout outfit and say goodbye to summer in style!
FALL FITNESS FASHION TRENDS:
* Long Board Shorts *
They've graced the runway from Gryphon to Diane Von Furstenberg's shows and now it's time to wear them where the make the most sense-- in the water and at the gym! From a functional standpoint, surfer shorts are lightweight and dry fast. I absolutely love the late summer vibe they exude which is a nice way to transition into Fall--just pair with a long sleeve moisture-wicking top...
The US Open has come and gone but table tennis isn't going anywhere. Calling all geeks and freaks! If you like needlepoint or playing in the deep end, check out the goodies below that are guaranteed to put the ping in your pong.
Table tennis isn't as preppy or stuffy as big court tennis, which means there's more laughter, oddities and fun to be had. It's a great way to let your guard down with family and friends. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your competitive edge. Use these toys to smack 'em down and show them who's boss.
* THE BEST PING PONG VICTORY TOYS *
1. Nice, Attractive Balls
Your paddle set is your bait. Lure your victims in with ping pong balls and paddles that are brightly colored and attention grabbing. Make everyone in the room want to play with you. My favorite sets are from HENRI BENDEL and TRINA TURK. And I love these candy-esque ping pong balls from GOGO.
Tour De Fashion is happening right now and you can literally GET ON BOARD.
Through Thursday, September 15th you can borrow a bicycle for 1 hour at any one of the Tour De Fashion bike tents. Each bike has been creatively and uniquely "styled" by a famous New York designer to celebrate Fashion Week and give you a new way to check out all the surrounding events and pop-up shops. Plus there's no charge! How insanely cool is that?
Grab a bike at one of these 2 locations:
Station 1: The Fashion District – Broadway and 40th Street
Station 2: The Meatpacking District – 9th Avenue and 14th Street
Just present your drivers license and credit card to rent a bike for free. Ride around the Meatpacking District and check out everything that's going on...because there's definitely a lot of hustle and bustle in this area for Fashion Week. Just remember to return your bike at one of the 2 stations.
Beware of the Nicole Miller bike. It doesn't look like it...
