A Workout That Tricks You Into Exercising
I’ll be real: I like the idea of exercising way, way more than actually sweating it out at the gym. Over the years, I’ve tried group classes, exercise DVDs, P90X, jogging, even a Bollywood Boot Camp — and while they were varying degrees of fun, there weren’t any I really looked forward to. It was…

How to Make Your Ideas Contagious
When you think of books you can devour in one flight, thrillers and other edge-of-your-seat pageturners immediately come to mind. Not necessarily research-driven nonfiction.

You’ll Never Guess What the Star of That ’70s Show Is Doing Now
Topher Grace, AKA Eric Forman on That ’70s Show, has a new gig these days. Nope, not a reunion show called That ’80s Show (that title already belongs to a short-lived spinoff). Not Win A Date with Tad Hamilton 2 either, sadly. His latest project is…

You’ve heard all of the studies that show sitting all day is as bad for you as smoking, and you’ve felt your wrists or back ache after spending hours on end hunched over your computer at work.
