Ditch the Gym and Go Extreme With Parkour
With the price of gym memberships rising, we're all looking for a less expensive way to burn calories and stay fit. Instead of putting your foot down and refusing to pay, put that foot to good use and practice Parkour —your fitness props become the things around you like benches, railings, trees, walls, stairs, and fences. This extreme sport involves leaping over, climbing up, and rolling off theses common structures and using them as your playground, all without any protective gear.
What's the Big Idea Behind This Sneaky Gatorade Ad?
I watched the following vid and was overjoyed to see a chick finally kick arse at a male sporting event. But a little research later revealed that our bat girl never made this Spidey-inspired catch; the vid is actually a staged advertisement for Gatorade. The illegitimacy of the play makes me wonder if the Gatorade folks are mocking women's athletic potential with this ad, or on the flip side, if they're seeking to unsettle established gender norms and advance the girls-can-do-anything message.
All Dunk, No Slam
I'm not a huge sports fan, but if basketball was played this way, then I might pay a little more attention to it. How many ways can one dunk a basketball? Apparently many.

TGIF!
The end of the week is almost upon us and I must admit, I'm dragging. While some (me!) may choose to sip on coffee for a pick me up, others choose to destroy company property, build a ramp, and make an extreme sport of hallway chair gliding. It may be a dumbass thing to do, but I kinda want in...

The New Extreme Non-Sport

You Asked: My Girlfriend Is Too Extreme
Dear Sugar,
The woman I've been dating for the past eight months is great, and I have strong feelings for her, but she says she is frustrated and tired of trying to figure out what we can do together. You see, I was a good athlete when I was younger but I have a bad knee and can only hike for about an hour. I also have a bad back now so can't lift a lot.
Is Pickle Juice the New Sport Drink?
I feel bad throwing out pickle brine, but I never know what to do with it when I eat the last pickle. My friend saves the juice for her Bloody Mary mix but I'm not a big fan of the brunchy cocktail. But apparently pickle brine has another use — as a sports drink!
