-- This is a guest post by Jane Blanchard -- One of the most classic New Year's resolutions is to start going to the gym more, which is exactly why gyms start hiking up their enrollment fees around this time. The other alternative to getting fit is to build your own gym at home. Here are some seriously over-the-top home gyms that we can dream about having one day. Photo via Houzz Who wouldn't love their very own smoothie bar? Or maybe it's an actual bar, but still. Even the color scheme screams "let's work out today!" Photo via Houzz Yes, this is actually in a home. Two levels, with a sauna! This homeowner either has a very large family or a lot of guests that like working out. Or she’s just awesome. Photo via Houzz There's not one but two hot tubs in there! Plus, those light-up stairs must look killer all hours of the day.   Photo via Houzz Lots and lots of workout equipment and a super comfy chair to relax in...

Yoga is the best excuse to see my friends. It's one of the easiest invitations to extend because no one has time--including me--to workout and see their friends unless it's happening simultaneously. I make yoga dates with my girlfriends constantly because I feel like I get the most quality time with them during this workout than any other. Forget the high intensity stuff--it's far less intimate. Yoga's the one activity where even though you're not talking, you're still connecting with each other while on your mats. In this case, it's imperative that your mats are side by side so you can visually bond with your friend. This is Nicola Yvette, my longtime friend who teaches yoga & pilates (check her out here). Oh look, she's wearing my socks! Last night we went on yoga date to Laughing Lotus Yoga NYC and it was pretty awesome to experience her energy and soulfulness right beside me. I saw a side of her that I don't always get to see in sit-down...

The model lifestyle is now more accessible to common folk thanks to Amazon Fashion and ModelFIT. Amazon Fashion is essentially a department within the online shopping world of Amazon. They've recently amped up their athletic offerings, especially on designer sportswear. So now you can dress like a model...and even work out like one behind this door, at ModelFIT. 212 Bowery (2nd floor), formerly the studio of model photographer Terry Richardson, is now home to ModelFIT.  It's the new boutique fitness studio in New York City that has everyone talking, where Taylor Swift and models Kate Upton and Karlie Kloss drop in to break a sweat. As you can imagine, these beauties are a huge draw. So how exactly do they work out? I got a preview of ModelFIT during the #NewYearNewYou event hosted by Amazon Fashion. I took the Sculpt class which uses resistance bands and light to medium ankle weights. In Sculpt, you focus on smaller muscles around your hips, butt,...

Just like there's an app for your every need, there's a box, too! My Style Up 2 Shape Up box with Quarterly Co. has been in the fast lane since it's inception, and my has it grown! The last box, themed "Endurance + Holiday Mastery" completely SOLD OUT! You can watch my unboxing video about it above. I drop hints midway through about #MIZ06...but they're just spoilers....'cause I have to keep you guessing a little :)  Watch me unbox my Holiday Quarterly Box here! I must say, I survived the holidaze without much downward spiraling on account of food, drink and pure laziness. I went to lots of yoga and Shred415 classes in my hometown. I even ran outside! The "Endurance + Holiday Mastery" box really helped me to stay focused. I design these boxes for myself, too (as much as I love all of you!). My Yoo Tracker, which I clipped to my purse and gym bag, was the "Big Brother" looming over my every choice. So I took the stairs more, hailed less cabs and grunted out...

I’m all about outdoor workouts but lately it’s been TOO COLD. Check out my favorite winter workout that lets you skip the cold and will instantly heat up your muscles. It’s Pilates but a different kind of Pilates approach than you’re used to seeing at the gym. The workout is called Flex Pilates and it's taught at Flex Studios in New York City. Flex Pilates uses the Pilates reformer to combine classic Pilates and strength training for 55 minutes that don’t go by too quickly (sorry, clock watchers). Let’s just say you feel every minute of this workout because the motions are often pace-­controlled and require you to activate your core while pulling it up and in. Some moves happen slowly and some quick depending on how you’re using the reformer. To show you several of my favorite moves, I asked Jenn Seracuse, director and instructor at Flex Studios, to guide me through a session. As much as I love this workout, I’m not advanced enough to do it on my own....
