Have You Ever Walked Out of a Group Fitness Class?
Even if kickboxing or step aerobics aren't your ideal fitness experience, working out in a group can buoy your spirits and help motivate you to push yourself.

Kate Helps the Yankees Bring Their A-Game Out West
It was high fives all around as Kate Hudson and her dad Kurt Russell cheered on the Yankees during their game against the Angels last night in LA. Kate's smiles weren't enough to propel the team to victory this time, but she'll have another chance to watch A-Rod on the field tonight. When she isn't chilling in the dugout, Kate's making time for fitness in California — she hit the Pilates studio over the weekend, showing off her fine form and belly chain after class as she gets in tip-top shape to promote Nine this Winter.
Looking For a Pilates Studio

It seems like Pilates studios are popping up in neighborhoods at the same rate as Starbucks coffee shops. Chances are high there is a studio close to either where you work or live.
