Only 18 more days until we hit the Indio scene in our Coachella best, and while we're hard-pressed to find a reason not to be on pins and needles for this music festival, we can conjure up a handful of reasons why it's all we think about right now. Sure, the street-cum-desert style will, no doubt, be eclectic, cool, and Summer-inspired, but let's be honest: having a 'round-the-clock soundtrack to Read more

If you're the same, here are other ways to reap the same calorie-burning benefits without a seemingly boring run. Try a different machine: Think your cardio only comes from the treadmill? Think again. Raise your heart rate with another machine at the gym. Read more
We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. Before she danced with the stars, romanced George Clooney and literally “wrestled” her way to stardom, Stacy Keibler had an impressive career as an actress and model. But, the 5’11 blonde beauty is perhaps best known for one of her most enviable assets: a great pair of legs. We all know that, genetics Read more
Your yoga studio might offer Friday night kirtan, but have you ever heard of a yoga studio transforming into a nightclub on the weekend?

In Real Steel, Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie, a man who makes his living piecing robots together and sending them to the ring, so the potential for spectacular robotic clashes is high.

It's Klaus, sort of showing his face, and striking fear into the hearts of all the characters, even the season's main baddie thus far (Katherine). Matt continues his subterfuge against his girlfriend for the benefit of the sheriff, and Damon — well, all you need to Read more
