At 5-foot-7, 130 pounds, Megan Mahoney is fairly small for a rower. But tough? Determined? You have no idea. For nearly two years at Marist College, Mahoney was unbeaten on the ergometer, the indoor rowing machine that measures the fitness and endurance of the women's crew team.
Tom Sanford, the coach at Marist, teased her all the time about it. Come on, let someone else win today, he'd say. Sanford would constantly tell Mahoney, a senior, that his ultimate goal was to recruit so well that she would be up in the bow, which meant he had seven women stronger than her in the eight.

Flat on your back is not an ideal position in combat sports. Boxers blankly stare at the lights, trying to comprehend how they got there. Wrestlers' shoulders are that much closer to getting pinned. And judo competitors have probably just been hurled over an opponent's hip.
But in Ronda Rousey's relatively new world of women's mixed martial arts, it can be an advantage. And when the former world- class judo player clutches her opponent's wrist to her chest, laces her legs around that arm and across her victim's chest and wrenches with all her might, the outcome is inevitable.

I can do 20, 25 of the girly pushups," boasts Step Up student Julia White, "but the other ones, not so many." As Andrea Brett gets into the push-up position, she asks White what else they're supposed to do. White reads from the paper describing the workout. "It says 'pec routine until your arm has muscle failure,'" she reads. "So, you know when you fall on your face, you're done.
As [Paula Teague] talks, [Kristen Mullins] writes notes in blue marker on another sheet of paper on the wall, tided "Things We're Learning." Teague recommends, for example, that the women pack a lunch to eat after they complete the physical portion of the test. Under "hydrate prior to exam," and "know to keep your own pace during run," Mullins writes, "bring food."
When she finishes, Mullins reminds the women...

Compulsive exercise (also called obligatory exercise and anorexia athletica) is best defined by an exercise addict's frame of mind: He or she no longer chooses to exercise but feels compelled to do so and struggles with guilt and anxiety if he or she doesn't work out. Injury, illness, an outing with friends, bad weather - none of these will deter those who compulsively exercise. In a sense, exercising takes over a compulsive exerciser's life because he or she plans life around it. Of course, it's nearly impossible to draw a clear line dividing a healthy amount of exercise from too much. The government's 2005 dietary guidelines, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), recommend at least 60 minutes of physical acti...

Sexercise is exercise during sex; it is a workout designed around doing the nasty. If you find both sex and exercising a chore, well, you're two feet in the hole. But if you're interested in either one of these two, give it a go. Heck, what have you got to lose besides a few pounds? Sexercise is a great isometric, cardiovascular, aerobic and core-training workout targeting most major muscles in the body.
So let's start with missionary. Thought it was just for tired housewives? Think again. Dudes, this is a great way to strengthen your upper body. While doing it, keep your body stiff, firmly plant your hands and add some pushups. Boom. Ha. Boom. Ha, you're building your metabolism (P.S. let me see you tootsie roll). At the bottom of each rep, dip your hips to get deeper penetration.

I tried Wii Fit. It was fun, but more of a game for children and hyperactive adults than a serious weight-loss program. I didn't stick with it or lose a pound.
Then, I was excited to try boxing with Gold's Gym Workout. It was just too repetitive.
