We all saw Eva Longoria walking around to get toned up for her big wedding extravaganza, but that girl was doing way more than just walking to get the body of her dreams for the day of her dreams.

According to her trainer, Patrick Murphy, Eva wanted to look strong, she wanted really nice posture and she wanted her arms to look great.

Meatless Mondays are starting at my house this coming Monday.

Now that it is Saturday, you've got to try the booty workout. Here's the printable version for you to take to the gym.

Here is a new TreadMill workout for you to try next time you're at the gym. Or if you have one at home hop on and try it.

Speak Up and tell me what you listen to when you workout.

After splurging on Burberry golf accessoriesyou might just need some FREE golf lessons.

We all know fiber is an important part of our diet. But do you know if an apple or a pear has more fiber? You might also be interested in knowing how much fiber your favorite fruit has to offer.

Since it IS the weekend you have time to practice Sun Salutation B.

Monday was the Boston Marathon and Lidiya Grigoryeva won by finishing in 2 hours and 29 minutes. Jacob might have taken a little longer to cross the finish line, but his story is quite motivational.

The Sugar pages have been filled with wedding mania this week, but walking seems to be how Eva Longoria deals with her pre-wedding stress.

Just wondering if you have tried the Side Push Up. It is a great way to work your arms.

Eva and Her Friends Take the Wedding Party to Puerto Rico

PopSugar — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:30:06 -0800

Eva Longoria was in Puerto Rico over the long Thanksgiving weekend, joining friends for the wedding of actress Roselyn Sanchez to Eric Winter. On Thursday, Eva and her girlfriends strolled around San Juan, stopping at a cafe for coffees, animated conversation and cigarettes - the latter of which should put those pregnancy rumors to rest once and for all. Who knew Eva smoked? The big day was Friday, and Eva showed up to the church in a show-stealing black and white gown. By Sunday she was back in her tracksuit at LAX on her way home to the man who she married in a similarly lavish ceremony last Summer, before grabbing dinner at Beso last night.
