Fit Tip: Wash Your Sports Bra in the Shower With You
After a run, I immediately hop in the shower not only to cool myself down, but also to wash off all the sweat and bacteria to prevent breaking out. Since I only have a few sports bras, I got into the habit of bringing my sports bra in the shower with me. I keep a little container of laundry detergent on the shelf so I can hand wash it really quickly, and then I let it dry over my shower rod.
Holiday Fit Tip: Be Sport Specific
Let's face it: As the month of December progresses, there seems to be less and less time to work out. Instead of trying to fit in the various elements of your workout, try just being sport specific. If you run, make sure you have time for your regularly scheduled runs and if you can fit in some weight training, great.
You Asked: Jackie Warner's New Project
After reading our review of Jackie Warner's fitness DVD Workout One-on-One Training, many of you expressed curiosity over the future of her hit Bravo series, Work Out. After making a call to Sky Sport Spa — Warner's gym — today, I was told the unfortunate news that the show won't be returning for a fourth season.
I was a bit bummed to hear this but then I remembered Warner has a new show in the works, Thintervention With Jackie Warner.
Fit Tip: Coach a Youth Sports Team
Lately we've been seeing Reese Witherspoon throwing the softball around, both preparing for a movie and playing with her kids. Even if you don't have kids of your own, coaching a youth team can be a great way to get in shape and feel good at the same time.
Even though you're not actually on the team, you'll run around plenty when trying to keep a team of teens or kids in check.

Gear Review: Radiance Jacket by Mountain Hardwear
If you are looking forward to Winter but not the cold that accompanies it, Mountain Hardwear has constructed a jacket for you. The Radiance Jacket ($230) is pre-wired for the Ardica Moshi Power System ($145).
When fully charged, the battery powered energy pack will keep you warm for a little over eight and a half hours when set on the low setting and three hours when set for high.
Get in Gear: Twist-To-Fit In-Ear Sport Headphones
One of the biggest complaints about ear buds is that they fall out when running due to the combination of increased sweat, bouncing around and small ear holes (for some).
These headphones ($38.83) may be the perfect solution. The twist-to-fit design is supposed to ensure stability while you're out jogging.
Fit Gift: Sport Jelly Bellies Stocking Stuffer
We told you about the Sport Bean Jelly Belly when they first came out. Candy that keeps you energized while you work out is definitely something to celebrate! The Sport Beans are fortified with electrolytes and vitamins not found in the regular Jelly Belly.
Victoria's Sporty Spice Weekend With David and Their Boys
The Beckhams had a busy weekend between their various sporting activities. Victoria and David were front and center for a Lakers game on Friday night with Romeo and Cruz, while Brooklyn sat elsewhere with a friend. It was David's turn to show off his skills yesterday afternoon, when he joined the Galaxy in a playoff match against Chivas that ended in a tie.
Review: GU Espresso Love Energy Gel
I have been experimenting with different sports gels lately. My latest venture into the world of gooey non-food energy supplements was Espresso Love by GU and it felt like I was going back to the source, since I think of GU as the originator of these energy packets. I ate (or rather gummed and swallowed) this caffeinated GU 15 minutes prior to an early morning swim.
