Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Hayley’s running playlist Hey Hayley! So I'm a new runner - and I read a little while ago the post about Robin Thicke's new song being awesome for running (I agree!) - can you suggest other songs for running? I'm doing 3 races this year - all By Hayley • Jul 16, 2013 03:03 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Five Finger Shoes Hi Hayley! I have been doing a lot more running this summer and while I do yoga and cross fit to strengthen myself, I am still getting "runner's knee" from overuse. My only solution is cutting running for a few days but I hate the prospect By Hayley • Jul 08, 2013 10:17 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Stand Up Paddle-boarding Stand up paddle-boarding (or SUP’ing as the serious paddlers call it) is probably one of my favourite activities to do in the summer and I am not alone. Celebs like Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce, Eva Longoria, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Pattinson, and Olivia Wilde (attached) have all By Hayley • Jul 02, 2013 01:47 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Sponge for sweat acne Hayley, I am super new to working out. I've got a good partner and I'm working out about 5-6 days a week. My skin hates me for it. I sweat A LOT, and now I keep breaking out. I have NEVER had back acne or neck By Hayley • Jun 28, 2013 11:19 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Kundalini Massage I receive a lot of emails asking me about exercise and I am constantly helping people make time in their day to do more, especially to work out. Rarely do I ever talk about the importance of relaxing and making time to shut off once in a while is just By Hayley • Jun 25, 2013 09:43 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: The Test Of Metal Challenges: I crave them, I dream about them, and I go after them. I love attempting things that at one point in my life I did not believe to be possible. When I was 17 I knew one day I wanted to do an Ironman and I knew that I By Hayley • Jun 19, 2013 11:48 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Running & Chafing Hi Hayley, I have a rather awkward question. I've been running for a few months now, and always in three quarter length pants. Now that it's heating up outside, I have switched to shorts - a running pair I bought specifically from a specialised shop - By Hayley • Jun 18, 2013 12:00 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Recovery drinks Hi Hayley, I'm pretty confused about post-workout recovery drinks. I'm working on losing a significant amount of weight, more than 50 lbs, and focusing on 10 lbs at a time. So far I'm down 12 lbs! I am doing a lot of cardio to By Hayley • Jun 12, 2013 09:07 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Intimidated at the gym I'm a young woman who is relatively new to working out in a gym. I worked previously with a personal trainer, but now I'm on my own. I didn't have this problem when I was with my trainer, but I'm feeling intimidated By Hayley • Jun 11, 2013 09:03 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Marathon Recovery Hi Hayley, I just ran my first marathon two weeks ago and although it went well and I feel like I trained appropriately for the challenge I still feel like I'm not back to 100% yet. I have only been able to do short 3-5 mile slow runs By Hayley • Jun 07, 2013 10:51 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: From Zero to Hero Hi Hayley, I am an impatient person; I need to see results fast. When I workout I like to get maximum results for minimum time input. I was fit a few years ago, but I experienced a devastating life event that literally stopped all self care. I haven't By Hayley • Jun 04, 2013 10:56 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Machines vs free weights Hi Hayley, Following up on your last two posts, I was hoping you could elaborate a bit more on strength training. Specifically, what are your thoughts on using good ol' gym weight machines? I read (on the Internet... if that counts) that free weights or cross-fit is better, that By Hayley • May 30, 2013 11:08 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Exercise trends I wrote an article on Wednesday answering a reader’s questions involving the Tracy Anderson Method and her aversion to bulk. (Click here for a refresher.) Since that article I have had a lot of other readers ask me to share my opinions on other exercise trends, like Crossfit, HIIT By Hayley • May 24, 2013 09:50 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: On Tracy Anderson’s “bulk” aversion Hi Hayley, So I've recently started using Tracy Anderson's mat workout DVD and I'm really enjoying it. My question starts with the fact that Ms. Anderson states that a woman should never lift more than a three pound weight; otherwise she'll end By Hayley • May 22, 2013 09:03 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Yoga & Prehabilitation Hi Lainey, What is KD? I’m assuming it’s a Canadian food or drink that is not healthy but probably delicious and addicting? And on to my other question #1. How much are aches and pains a part of an active lifestyle (and getting older, alas) and to what By Hayley • May 21, 2013 09:18 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Getting rid of the KD Lainey, I really related to the Hayley article you posted on Apr 24th titled, “Small steps and weekly goals”, as I’m basically going through the same thing. I have since started making small goals like Hayley suggested in terms of exercise; however I’m really struggling when it comes By Hayley • May 16, 2013 11:31 am
