This is a ridiculously good salad. I don't even need to add "...for a light salad." There isn't much I don't love about this salad: the chunks of blue cheese, the caramelized pear slices, the slivers of chicken, the pecans, the arugula, the dressing... What I don't love is the few sprigs of parsley hiding in with the real lettuce. It's a bitter surprise to get amid so much joy and deliciousness

I’ve never personally been ripped off at the gym, but I know it happens all the time. Women are especially big targets, since many of us tend to leave our purses in the trunks of our cars, thinking that they’re safe there. They’re totally not. Consumerist posted this story on the subject. Not all gyms check IDs when members show up. In my experience, in fact, most don’t. Don’t trust that

Do you know about all the crazy things that can happen to you if you don’t drink water when you exercise? Lots of crazy things. Many people show up at the gym without a bottle of water, and worse, some people show up for high-intensity spinning classes without water, thinking they’ll actually make it through 60 minutes of sweating without needing so much as a sip. What could happen to these

Stir Fry Adapted from Cooking Light magazine. Stir Fry is 2 Weight Watchers Points; Tuna is roughly 2 Weight Watchers Points for 3 oz.; Rice is 4 Weight Watchers Points for 1 cup If you're one of those unlucky souls who doesn't own a grill, I highly suggest you get one. Okay, I can't grill worth a damn, but D sure can. We made this meal several years ago, but it's still one of my favorites.

Some of the most frequent questions I get from my friends concern lifting weights. I get it. The gym is an intimidating place as it is, but sauntering onto a floor of thick-necked guys grunting as they bench-press 350 pounds, it's downright frightening. Plus, lifting weights isn't as intuitive as hopping on a machine is. There's a right way and a wrong way to go about it. If you get over your

Whatever your feelings about Lance Armstrong, you can’t deny that the man is a maniac on the bike. While most of what he’s able to do is just the result of raw talent bestowed on only a few of us, there are lessons you can learn from him in order to work out better and smarter. Yes, there are obvious things Lance does that push him to the top in terms of performance. He’s motivated, dedicated

Adapted from Hungry Girl. Also appears in Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200 2 points per serving D and I whipped this up as part of our New Year's Eve festivities and served it with a sliced and toasted baguette. (We party hard, yeah!) On first glance, the first thing I thought when I saw this recipe is "needs more garlic." But that's pretty much what I always think. I was skeptical of the water

Hi! I'm Heather. The gym is my happy place. I'll make you go there with me if you're not careful. I love to eat. I love music. I love to take pictures. This blog is all of that. I'm on a mission to make people excited about exercise and fitness and eating well. Or at least grumble about it a little bit less.

The best workout music is music you like. It's what moves you. It's what gets you over the hump when you want to give up and go sit in the steam room instead. Below are some of my favorite go-to workout songs and the workouts with which I think they're best suited. Spinning and Biking (S) Look for songs with strong beats for hills; choose fast rockers for sprints and pick anything lively when
