That clip of the bouncers from 40/40 has upset my entire day. I hate violence in any form and that was just savage. Makes me sad for humanity.

Alec Baldwin did an interview in this month's Elle Magazine that is almost worth buying the thing for. I kind of fell in love with him again reading it.

@HereComesMyBaby: I know a woman who has been doing yoga for well over a decade. She's a petite 5'2" in the first place, but she has the most incredible body and ripped arms of anyone I know. And she's also in the best shape of anyone I know, including my marathon-running husband. Also, she's 41 and looks maybe 30, tops. It kinda makes me want to try it.

@HarlemSnowflake: @Helen Valentine: @rckoala: @laliaberry: @KentuckyBabe: Psssh I do ashtanga. I just see yoga as way more than a workout. My yoga teachers are never talking about which "muscles we're working" during the lesson. I don't like the yoga instructors who talk about how "now we're going to work on abs" and such.

While my yoga classes are OBVIOUSLY a workout, there's a whole "mind" aspect to them that makes the word "workout" inadequate to me.

@KentuckyBabe: I think that for some people thinking of yoga as a "workout" is kind of missing a lot of what yoga is. Kind of like calling Jezebel a gossip website. Like, yes technically you can get gossip here, or get a workout from yoga. But to consider it just from that limited point of view is to miss out on the complexity of the practice.

@kellybones: His character acting work has been really interesting and varied. He has been in some great projects. He has also worked more steadily in the last 30-odd years than most actors I can name. That kind of longevity is extremely rare. So it's kind of insulting to the actors who haven't had a fraction of Baldwin's opportunities for him to be whining like this because the amazing opportunities he's gotten have been team efforts, not one-man shows.

Hey, Yoga People. Can you explain to me what doing yoga 5 times a week will do for your body? Does it really make you that toned and fit? I like it, don't get me wrong, but I find it kind of hard to believe that all these celebs claim they only do yoga, and they have these ridiculous gym bodies. I'm more of a western-minded person when it comes to exercise, I guess, but I'm starting to get more curious about yoga, at least as a supplemental form of exercise. I'd be curious to hear from real people, rather than Google search.

@bananaballs: When I do it regularly (read: not during school), it really does help me get slightly more toned. But then, I only do it twice a week, and I don't do a hardcore routine, just vinyasa, so. I'm sure if you did it more than twice a week + a specific routine to tone or build muscle or whatever, it would have major results.

@bananaballs: I understand that if you don't need to lose weight (because you're naturally slender AND you control your diet), constant yoga will give you an extremely toned, sculpted body. I base this on the brief period in my 20s when I was at my lowest healthy weight and started doing Pilates and looked AMAZING for like one summer. Of course, if you are not in the former category, and you don't do yoga every day, it will merely give you better balance and flexibility, and perhaps better tone that is not visible under a comfortable layer of pudge.

@bananaballs: Yes, it will.

I went to a few yoga sessions (introductory ones) that friends of mine taught, and it was pretty boring, but the next day I always hurt in surprising places. A few months back I started with P90X's yoga session and daaaaamn but that's a workout. My legs still burn like crazy when I do it. Yoga's great for all of the in-between muscles that you never really focus on with the "big" exercises.

@bananaballs: It really depends on what type of yoga you practice. Some forms are centered around mindful breathing and gentle stretches, while others are very vigorous and challenging. I was a ballerina for years, and I find that yoga works my body in a very similar way as ballet did.

For example, a lot of the more advanced poses require a great deal of strength, flexibility and balance and to do them properly, you have to be in great shape. The one thing I will say about yoga, which I have found is a bit like running, is that it produces a wide variety of body shapes. What I mean by that is, if you look at a lot of yoga instructors, you'll notice that some are whippet-thin, others are ripped, and others are softer. So, it can make you very lean and cut, or it may just make you a healthier version of you.

Another thing is that yoga is supposed to be a lifestyle, not just a fitness regime. A lot of teachings in yoga center around making healthy life choices--which includes diet. So, it's kind of all a question of how seriously you dedicate yourself to the lifestyle, if that makes sense.

@Leucadia: That's what I thought. I constantly see these ballerina types doing yoga, but I'm not a ballerina type. So I do the stuff which works your "glamour muscles" (strength training/cycling) because it gets me the fastest results, and do yoga once in a while to avoid getting rickety, and because I heard it's good for your glands and blood sugar. Same goes for Pilates.

@bananaballs: Bikram yoga (or any truly vigorous yoga) done five times a week will change your body. Few of us have that kind of time, but it *does* work and you will appreciate the added strength, balance, and flexibility as you get older. I have been doing yoga (ashtanga and bikram) for 7 years and though I am not consistent with it, I get a lot out of it.

@bananaballs: If you do aggressive vinyasa yoga three to four hours a day, which I completely buy that some of these celebs do, you may get a fabulously toned body, depending on age, DNA, and a variety of factors. You will definitely get much stronger and more flexible. However, a low-key gym class a couple of times a week is not going to turn you into Madonna. I used to hang out with a lot of yoga instructors who were teaching classes 6-8 hours a day, and a couple of them would put Gwyneth Paltrow to shame when it came to toned arms. (They were also much nicer people, but we won't go there.)

@HelloTitty: Bikram kills me! It was so hot in that room, I was amazed I got through it without passing out. I wish I had the guts to go back, but I hate the heat in general, so it's not for me. I think I'll try ashtanga (that's the more vigorous one, right?) but at the same time, I probably wouldn't be doing it more than once a week, so is there even a point?

I will say, yoga instructors are the best. I love the way they speak. Truly an art form.

@bananaballs: Yes Bikram is definitely not for everyone but I always encourage people to try it just because they might be surprised at what they can take. I would still encourage you to take vinyasa or ashtanga as long as you have a good yoga teacher. The teacher makes all the difference no matter what kind of yoga you are doing.

@bananaballs: I only go to yoga 2 times a week. My arms have gotten a lot stronger, though my thighs are still jiggly and yoga ain't doing nothing for them.

However, there is this badass older woman in my yoga class, who I overheard talking about how her ONLY workout is yoga and she does it 4 times a week. The woman is RIPPED and can do all the insane poses. Her ripped son comes to class too, and he can't do half the shit she does.

So she is proof that yoga can make you insanely ripped. The end.

@ablative: My biggest complaint with Wii Fit is that after you finish one exercise, you have to stop and navigate to the next one. I think it would be great to queue up like 10 in a row so that you get a 30-minute workout without a lot of stopping and starting, which certainly does nothing to improve endurance.

A girlfriend of mine worked for a sports team in Europe. While the league certainly wasn't major, and the guys weren't making a ton of money, she could count the guys who didn't cheat on half a hand. She described it as culturally pervasive among the players, and even the coaching and equipment staff. Sad :(

Funny story: my freshman roommate and I decided to study for finals in the law library one night, even though only law students were allowed in. We named it Operation: Law Student (OLS) and dressed up in jeans, sweaters, dress coats, scarves, and brought our laptop bags and (this was the KEY item) travel coffee mugs. Worked like a charm and we got a great silent studying spot! G/L outlining and preparing for finals, my bf is a 3L and I know how awful your guys' finals can be.
