LIFT is a web magazine for the adventurer in all of us (not necessarily the gym goer) -- successful men and women who work hard and play harder. Fitness isn’t about living at the gym, it’s about living at your peak, no matter what stands in your way. It’s about obeying the alarm clock, peeling yourself out of bed, and finding that extra hour most people think they’ll never have.

LIFT items are selected either by myself or by one of my guest editors. If you have a cool tip, please share it with me! And, no, you can't pay to be featured on LIFT. That's what advertising is for, and it's clearly labeled as such. I do not want to destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of this blog.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

BlogBurst.comLastly, this site is syndicated through Blogburst, so it's likely that you'll see LIFT on Fox News, Reuters, or USA Today.com.

I hope that you continue to enjoy LIFT. I look forward to publishing it.

Punch Like A Girl

Boxing.jpgGetting in shape can be a maddening thing.
You sweat your butt off regularly on the treadmill only to find that, in fact, your butt looks exactly the same.
It’s enough to make you want to punch someone.

So go ahead — Put yourself or ask your trainer to put you through the paces as if you were a real professional boxer (punch the heavy bag and the speedbag, shadowbox, and even spar, should you feel so inclined). You burn ridiculous amounts of calories and tone up fast. (You don’t think Hilary Swank was born like that, do you?)

What’s more, if you want your own gloves, I found Pink boxing gloves that will make you not only punch like a girl but look good doing it!

And instead of having a bad ass, you’ll be one.

I took up boxing for 3 months and loved it (it was pricey which is why I didn't continue)! Not only does it kick your butt into shape and make you a whiz at the jump rope...it also teaches you some great selfdefense. You know, for when that girls steals your stage next time you go out dancing...you totally know that if you wanted to....you could kick her ass :-) Happy punching ladies!
