I’m still going strong with Les Mills Pump and it just keeps getting better. Today is the start of Week 5 for me so it was the first time I did the Pump and Shred workout. I honestly enjoyed it a whole bunch. It’s challenging, effective and FUN. Les Mills Pump and Shred A quick [...]

Do you have a hard time finding earphones or earbuds that fit your ears properly and also have good sound quality? I know I do. I have an iPod Nano and the earphones that came with that one don’t work too well for me. The sound is good, it’s the fit I have problems with. [...]

I’m always up for a fitness DVD review and I have yet to review one here on MFB that isn’t worthy of your time. Well, except for maybe the Shake Weight, but that review wasn’t really a “review”, more like a public service announcement convincing you to save your money. Anyway, celebrity trainer Mike Donavanik’s [...]

To be honest, I was a complete beginner prior to trying out the APY60 yoga program. APY60 is a program designed by martial artist Kurt Johnsen. He also happens to be the founder of American Power Yoga, official trainer of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and a renowned yoga instructor. Prior to APY60 I had never [...]
A few days ago I happened to catch an episode of Jay Leno on Hulu Plus and I chose this particular episode because it featured Tyler Perry and Kendra Wilkinson.

I was recently contacted by a representative that offered me some Perfect Foods Bars and I felt like I had to write this review. First of all, I will readily admit to being picky when it comes to foods with extra amounts of protein that are NOT MEAT. I have tried so many different protein [...]
I have to start out by saying that I am not a huge advocate of “dieting” or following “fad diets”. HOWEVER…I know several people, who are real people trying to lose weight, who love the Weight Watchers diet. Because it’s January and millions of people have set goals to lose weight, I thought it was [...]
I enjoy doing product reviews on my fitness blog from time to time because I think it’s useful to learn as much as you can about certain products before you buy them – especially with fitness programs. If you haven’t heard of Step 360 before now, that’s because it’s brand new. It’s been on the [...]

The Mi-Bra is unlike any other sports bra you’ve probably ever seen. Sure, it’s designed similarly to all other sports bras but with one exception: It has a pocket for your iPod! Being that a pocket is not going to make or break a sports bra, let’s get into the overall review of the Mi-Bra. [...]

Within the last decade or so, most diet programs said that the devil in disguise was carbohydrates and those carbohydrates were the reason we all could not lose weight.
