The Media and Disabilities

Posted on by

I don’t regularly watch Glee, mostly because my husband can’t handle all of the singing. But also, because I’m hooked on The Biggest Loser. But, last night I was flipping back and forth – Biggest Loser… Glee… Biggest Loser and so on. And it turns out Glee was a rerun but I had never seen it before. I happened to catch Jane Lynch’s character using the term “handicapable” when referring to her onscreen sister who has Down syndrome. I had never heard this term before, but a quick Google search revealed that it is everywhere, from handiCAPABLE Guide Service and … Continue reading →

Row Yourself Thin

For a super calorie burn off workout aim high and row your way skinny. Are you aware of the amount of calories that rowing burns off in a single minute? Up to fifteen calories in just a single minute! That’s right, fifteen ugly, nasty, calories, which amounts to 450 calories in just 30 minutes of exercise! Talk about a high speed fat burner. I was so amazed to discover this fact. Of course, you can probably guess what I did next. Oh, you are so right and so smart. I immediately researched rowing machines on the web. Actually, I did … Continue reading →

SYTYCD – Las Vegas “Don’t Give Up”

Posted on by

The summer’s phenomenal dance show made it back to Las Vegas last night and covered a week’s worth of grueling auditions to trim 200 dancers to 20. The experience was mentally, physically and emotionally daunting for the contestants. To those who’ve always thought it would be easy to get that far in the dance world, take note – even those who made the cut were worn out and looking forward to the month long break before the contest starts. Luckily for viewers, the month long break started a month ago, so we will be seeing the Top 20 perform next … Continue reading →

Dance Fitness – Wanna Dance?

Posted on by

So You Think You Can Dance is back on television and like last year, my daughter and I are totally hooked. This Thursday they will launch the actual contest.

If you’re interested in switching up your fitness routine this summer, consider dancing as a way to invigorate your workout while also toning your body, burning extra calories and just overall feeling great. Think dancing can’t burn … Continue reading →

While we were crazy for So You Think You Can Dance last summer, we’ve never fallen for the Dancing with the Stars until this year.

So You Think You Can Dance – I’m Hooked

It took the show’s third season to do it, but I’m officially hooked on So You Think You Can Dance. I sat glued to the screen on Wednesday evening, watching the dancers and their dances and feeling really impressed. For those of you who haven’t watched the show before, the premise is simple, but elegant. Dancers from around the country compete to be in the top 20 dancers. If they make it to the top 20, there are 10 girls and 10 guys. The dancers are partnered up and then they draw a dance style from a hat. They then … Continue reading →
