Sport is something special, and not just because it can keep us healthy and entertained. It’s special because it can reach us emotionally and give us a chance to be emotional together, in a way that few other things can.

Well that was a strange little match, wasn’t it? The knock out stages of the Gold Cup began Sunday for the U.S. Men’s National Team as they took on El Salvador in a packed stadium in Baltimore. It was pretty obvious before kick off that the U.S. were heavily favored to win, but that El [...]
No Omar, no Donovan, no Keane. It seems like LA can’t catch a break once they start to get their feet back underneath them. What I mean is LA struggles tremendously when they are missing one of their key players, and it usually happens when they are missing Omar Gonzalez. Tonight’s game was no different. [...]
Magic Mike Magee continued his goal scoring rampage, and so did the Chicago Fire as they continue to climb up the Eastern Conference standings after the team stole an important 2-1 road victory over the Philadelphia Union Saturday night.

The workout includes twenty minutes of aerobics, along with a five-minute warm-up and cooldown. Although the title suggests the workout is “dance,” this is [...]
When I first saw this photo of Maria Kang, I had just slipped into a brand-new pair of jeans, a size larger than I wore last season, and was in the process of ordering Chinese food because the healthy dinner I had made for my family is currently immolating on the bottom of the crock [...]
If you have a good sense of humor, I’m going to assume you’ve heard of the comic called The Oatmeal. I love The Oatmeal. And now, I know that when it comes to distance running, The Oatmeal gets me. If you run long distances, I think you should read this: From blerching, to wanting to [...]
Dance Off the Inches is a series of dance-inspired workouts. I’ve enjoyed most of them, and I think I found my absolute favorite of the series so far. Dance Off the Inches: Cardio Hip Hop Party with Jennifer Galardi is a blast. The workout is about 40 minutes long. It includes a warm-up, dance workout, [...]
