It’s one of my favorite places to shop for workout clothes. Why? Because they’re clothes are stylish, functional and well made. Because they have great sales on items that are cross-seasonal. Because Lucy apparel will give you an edge and set you apart from Lululemon clones. Because you can shop apparel on their website by sport. Because their website puts outfits together for you. At this rate, they might as well spend the night and make me breakfast in the morning because I’m seriously in love. Find LUCY at www.lucy.com or Lucy on Facebook.

People don’t value what they don’t pay for. For a short time they will
be appreciative of what is being done for them but as time wears on they come to expect it.

This was a lesson that stuck with Jim Hainis as a karate student and which inspired
him to create the H.E.A.R.T. Martial Arts program at Newark, New Jersey’s 1st Avenue Elementary/Middle School.

The concept of the H.E.A.R.T. program is pure genius. The students who participate in the program “earn” martial art lessons by agreeing to volunteer for local and national nonprofit organizations. Jim’s goal for the program is for kids to build their spirit and character as they give from their hearts to help others in need. Once they earn their lessons, the kids take group classes taught by Jim and are empowered to take control of their lives, learn about the world outside of school and give back to their community.

H.E.A.R.T. represents Honor, Equality, Appreciation, Respect, and...

Kite Surfers Complete “Epic” Pier Jumping Stunt

Story reblogged from youtube below:

DAREDEVIL kite surfer Jake Scrace makes the most of the extreme wind yesterday with a death-defying 100ft jump over a pier.
Jake, 25, used the waves as a ramp to leap 40ft across Worthing Pier in East Sussex, before landing back in the water. His extreme surfer pal Lewis Craften followed.

Two kite surfers from West Sussex took advantage of strong winds on the south coast to realise an ambition to jump over Worthing pier.

Jake Scrace, 25, and Lewis Crathern, 24, had been planning Monday morning’s jump for three years but had to wait for perfect weather conditions.

They took off from Goring to the west of Worthing in gusts of wind that were more than 40mph.

Mr Scrace described the build up to the jump as “terrifying”.

Carpenter Mr Scrace, who makes kite boards, and professional kite surfer Mr Crathern are both from Worthing.

Between them they have 16...

Jo+Jax is fitness fashion at its best—urban, sexy and comfortable. The line embodies free spirited, funky women with an inner tomboy and a lot of sass. What’s not to like? Most interesting is the story behind Jo+Jax apparel. The founders are 2 sisters from Salt Lake City: Jo and Jax. They grew up in their mother’s dance studio and shared the stage together as Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. They started designing dance and active-wear to get noticed at auditions and before long they were dressing all of Radio City. Jo+Jax apparel is all about bold color, confidence, attitude and movement. If you’re not going to stand out and show off your personality, what’s the point?

Stella McCartney introduces a different kind of catwalk to fashion die-hards and explains the relationship between fashion and sport in her active-wear designs.

“We’re not trying to take sportswear to fashion. We’re trying to take fashion to sportswear, which I think is quite novel for that arena because it’s usually the other way around. We’re trying to stay quite true to what we set out to do.”

You have to give it to Stella…she brings edgy fashion to the fitness camp. I love her latest collection featuring sheer, lightweight fabrics, but I think her designs are too delicate for intense fitness activity. Her line doesn’t offer athletes much support, insulation or weather protection. Stella’s collection hangs nicely on store racks and these days I see most of it on sale. I have faith in the line though and I think it won’t be long before Stella nails it. For now, I love that she’s creatively bridging fashion and fitness. The clips from the London...
