Forget the Shake Weight, forget Sauna Suits and forget Tony Little's Gazelle, because there's a new piece of fitness equipment on the scene that's so ridiculous that just by looking at it you will descend into a shame spiral that will rival anything you've ever felt in tenth grade. Allow me to present the glory that…

Kegels can be a necessary part of one's routine (for everyone, but I don't do them because I always forget — stop picturing it, gross), but they're also time-consuming and kind of boring and difficult.

A blogger in the U.K. is trying to dispel the idea that fat women can't run, offering herself up as an example of someone who runs marathons even while technically overweight.

Instead of just barking "100 more crunches (and faster)!" at you, some trainers are now electronically tracking their clients with devices like Fitbits. And if you’re training somewhere like Life Time Fitness, your coach will text you if your exercise band says you aren’t sweating like you’re supposed to be.
