This is a story about one Chick getting jiggled, suctioned, and pummeled into sleekly-toned submission. And I liked it.

Have you ever seen those infomercials showing a person shaking viciously on a vibrating machine (while smiling obnoxiously), convinced they can lose up to 4 pant sizes in 10 minutes? For most of us, this probably comes off as being rather hokey. I suppose you can understand...

Since Miley's VMA performance, it seems to me like I can't have a single conversation where the subject of twerking doesn't come up. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but seriously folks: everyone and their grandmother knows what twerking is nowadays. 


Of course, there have been mixed feelings toward the dance, and I bet you've raised an eyebrow or two at the booty popping (see above). Except...

If you read my fitness profile, you know that I have strayed from my formerly beloved high-intensity aerobic workouts and moved on over to the callused-hands-burpee-filled CrossFit world (insert villainous laugh here). Joking aside, I must admit that I really miss a good ‘ol cardio blast. That’s why I was absolutely thrilled when I was so graciously invited to attend the grand opening of Hard...

Six weeks ago I posted pictures of my pasty, slightly bloated post-baby body on ChickAdvisor here.  The reaction was an interesting mix of “Go, Ali!” and “That’s rude. What’s wrong with a post baby body??”  For the record, there is nothing wrong with a post baby body.  But, there is also nothing wrong with wanting to get healthy and all kinds of...

With all this testing out of new gyms and studios, not only are our bods getting a workout, but our iPods are too. The only thing that makes the treadmill bearable for me is a good playlist that pumps me up, keeps me going when I want (so very desperately) to stop and helps me wind down with a stretch. 

If you're like me, a decent playlist is a must for a trip to the gym, and we're here to...

Last week, we announced that we chicks were going to start werkin' it out at a few different and unique workout spots around the city. And now, we're delivering. Our first #werkout spot? Extension Room. It's a ballet meets cardio meets top 40 pumping meets graceful movement and it was a doozy. It totally kicked our butts in the best way possible. 

Want to know more about how it all went...

2014 is a huge year for me.  I’m officially done having babies (my youngest, Lina is 6 months old) and I have some pretty substantial goals lined up for myself.  One of those goals is to get really fit.  And by fit I don’t mean skinny. I mean toned in a way that would make Gwyneth Paltrow - but not Madonna -  proud.  So, I thought what better motivation...

For many of us, at the top of the new years resolution list is to exercise more. If you're like Ali, exercising is essential, it pumps you up and makes you feel great. If you're like me, you need to be forcibly dragged off the couch to even go for a walk. Either way, sweet workout gear is a must. If you're on Team Ali, the outfit and accessories are the final touch that ensure you're ready to go...
