The enduring image of yesterday's bombing speaks volumes more than my fingers could ever type.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker made headlines this week by accepting a challenge from a Twitter follower to live on food stamps for a week.

Booker, never one to accept merely one challenge at a time (need I say "mayor, entrepreneur, and firefighter?"),...

While Jay-Z and Cory Booker may have been "remixing" "99 Problems" yesterday, who would ever think of Jay-Z's song as inspiration for eating healthy!? But avoiding B's is one of the best ways to create a diet that consists of real food, healthy eating, and ultimately, fat loss....

I think it would be grossly irresponsible and tasteless to continue with the ING New York City Marathon this weekend.

The Start Line. Let's start at the start (line): Staten Island. The borough where the marathon commences, which has been hit harder than any other section of...

If you're like me, getting holed up because of a hurricane -- like Sandy! -- is the ultimate bummer. You can't get to the gym and work out! (After all, what else is there to life anyway?)

To ease your burning desire for a burn, here's a workout you can...

Donald Trump's preposterous video challenge to President Obama earlier this week ($5 million to a charity of the president's choice, in exchange for the president's college and passport records), was shocking not only because of its pompousness and arrogance, but because Trump believes that money (as motivation), alone,...

While most of the world is talking about limiting Iran's development of nuclear capabilities or limiting how much longer the NFL's replacement refs will officiate, the last thing you'd want to do is limit yourself -- namely your gym routine -- in some way, right? Maybe...

Watch this video as I reveal the smoking gun -- er, cigarette -- in the conclusion of a recent study that demonizes eating eggs, by comparing it with smoking! Should you eat eggs, or are you truly putting your life at risk?

Getting to the Olympics takes more than great genetics and natural ability. With many aspiring Olympians spending as much as the Phelpsian eight hours a day practicing, and most practicing at least 20 hours per week reliance on sheer willpower isn't enough for the long haul. Training must...

Last week, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled his proposal to ban the sale of sweetened sodas in sizes larger than 16 ounces. While this proposal might intuitively seem like a stride in the right direction -- who the heck needs more than 16 ounces of soda...

Want to know the trick behind toning ANY body part -- even the most troublesome "stubborn fat" areas like your hips, thighs and stomach? The trick is... on you, for believing there is a trick!

Anywhere you turn, you will see "toning" products: toning sneakers, toning belts, etc. What does...

You know what they say opinions are like (yes, the body part), and it's no different when it comes to opinions on weight loss: Everyone has one. But what actually works?

According to a hot-off-the-presses American Journal of Preventive Medicine study, the answer is pretty predictable. Of the...

Weight loss must come to an end. You heard that right: this gym owner, public health advocate, and personal trainer wants people to stop losing weight immediately. Weight loss doesn't make us any healthier, and the prospects of any one dieter successfully losing weight are dismal at best.
