I heart ASYM ear buds because...

They feel good. When I popped ASYM ear buds (in catfight hot pink) into my ears, I experienced superior comfort right away. These buds are shaped for asymmetric ears (don't pout, no one's ears are perfect). Instead of the awkward ear clip which always rubs me the wrong way (literally), ASYM's ear phone cable runs over the top of your ear in a non-intrusive, fashionably smart way.

They sound good. I selected a mix by dj/producer Lauren Flax and slipped into a world of intense sound. It felt like I had headphones on, not ear buds! I even removed them to see if they were emitting sound because the sound was so unbelievably powerful for a bud. They weren't. Which means no one has to know what you're sweating to. It's OK, we all have embarassing music that gets us going.

They price is good. At $39.95, these non-invasive ear buds are fitness-friendly and will make your workout mix jump. Not bad at all as long as you steer...

If you're sore from your workout, TRY GINGER.

I'm not a hippie but tie dye sports bras make me smile. Especially at $16.99. Are you kidding me?!

If you don't already know about C9, Champion's line for Target, then it's about time you do. C9 is one of my favorite athletic lines for basic, functional pieces that will cost you a pretty penny elsewhere (like Lululemon). But I must warn you, it's often hit or miss and some Target stores have better C9 inventory than others. I recommend shopping C9 online because the Target I went to was poorly stocked with a range of sizes. When you score stylish C9 apparel, you've basically hit the jackpot because the clothes are durable, sweat resistant, shrink-resistant and you can buy an entire workout outfit for $100.

I couldn't resist the tie dye sports bras pictured above because you can layer them with a see-through or light-weight tank top that shows them off. It's a great way to have some fun with your sports bra without totally baring your belly. Keep in mind these...

Bluefish Sport apparel is a cross between bad-ass and sexy mama in terms of style. If Lululemon Athletica is the-girl-next-door then Bluefish Sport is the girl who had her first open mouth kiss in the 2nd grade. There's nothing wrong with that...some of us gals just "mature" faster! Bluefish active wear is fitted and less forgiving than other brands but that's OK you've been working out! It's time to show off those curves. If not now, then when??

I say GO FOR IT.

Here's something that goes without saying: you're busy. You work hard, play hard and even relax hard....and that doesn't leave much time for working out.  Unfortunately, exercise tends to slip to the bottom of the priorities list during a packed day, and we've all been there, right? No judgment here!

Luckily for us on-the-go chicks who want to stay fit but can't always find the 2 hours in a day that a long run and shower eats up, former professional dancer Robert Brace has invented the NYLean25 class! If you've guessed from the name that the number 25 is involved, you're right: this is 25 minutes--to the second--of some of the most intense intervals you've ever done. Yup, it's hard, but here's the greatest part: it's over in less than half an hour! And Robert promises this is the fastest, most effective way to build muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness.

Check him out. His abs don't lie.

Here's the...
