If you’ve never heard the name of Gina Carano before, that’s fine.  We haven’t either.  But today she’s busting up the Internet for two big reasons 1) Carano is an MMA Fighter (often appearing on American Gladiators as “Crush”) who’s got a big match on October 4 with rival Kelly Kobald, and 2) recently appeared in Maxim Magazine — tastefully.

26-year-old Carano seems determined to show the world that you can be hot without ripping off all your clothes, while also illustrating how attractive “tough girls” can be. While most Maxim readers are probably calling up the magazine in protest of the lack of side-boob, we here at CC salute a hot girl who isn’t into shameless sex-promotion.

Also, it’s cool that she can kick just about anyone’s ass.

So here’s to you, Gina Carson.  Here’s to you and your fabulous abs

(Get it!? Fish Issue? A Fish-ue? HA!)

I have a love/hate relationship with David Beckham.

I love him because: he’s f-ing hot, he plays soccer, his abs are ridonkulus.
I hate him because: I can’t have him, he’s almost too perfect.

Not anymore! Becks has a flaw (besides the fact that he’s taken): fishy breath.

Is it weird that I love him more for it? I mean, let’s be honest - would you toss this guy out of your bed because of a slight breath issue?

We all know the obvious reasons to throw on those lululemons, lace up the Nikes and sweat it out at the gym: calories burned, harder abs, a flatter ass, a better shape, weight loss, etc. Those are all well and good, but there are many rarely-mentioned benefits to working out that are even more important to your body.

Daily exercise:

Improves Memory: Working out boosts blood flow to the brain, which improves your mental abilities. So, each trip to the gym is doing double duty: working your quads and your brain! Exercising is a sure-fire preventative measure to keep your brain working and sharp as you age.

Reduces Your Risk of Breast Cancer: By up to 60%! Exercise lowers the production of two ovarian hormones that are linked to the production of breast cancer tumors. Working out also delays ovulation until later in your menstrual cycle, which reduces the time women are most susceptible to these hormones.

Helps You Sleep Better: This seems like such an obvious one — working out makes you tired, so you sleep – but it’s deeper than that. Physical activity for 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week has been proven to help you stay asleep longer and enjoy more of the deep sleep, which is the stuff we benefit most from. But, the workouts have to be in the morning or afternoon, because exercising at night will energize you too much to sleep. Read More »

At least, that’s what a new study reveals which was conducted between 2002 and 2006 on college campuses across the country.

According to the study, men who are “well-muscled” are way more likely to have more sexual partners and more flings than their compatriots who are less brawny (but perhaps more brainy?) The article also points out that these muscle men are twice as likely to have affairs with women who are married or in serious relationships.

All of to which I respond, “no shit!”

Of course women are more likely to be physically attracted to well-built, machine-like guys! The act of sex, while encompassing any number of emotions, is an inherently physical act. If a girl is choosing a guy for a hot night of passion, what girl wouldn’t choose the beautiful sculpture of a man with abs of steel, rippling pecs and bulging biceps over the beer-bellied guy who looked like he could have posed for Picasso, with jiggling love handles and hair growing out of places never before thought possible? Your average girl is gonna take the Adonis every day the week and twice on Thursdays. And you know what? Despite not falling into the muscle-man category, I don’t blame you girls in the slightest.

So, you’ve hit the infamous plateau. You’re workout is about as predictable as the failure of Britney and K-Fed’s marriage. You’ve got your 45 minute stint on the elliptical followed by ten minutes of abs down pat. How boring and predictable of you. And your body feels the same way I do.

Which is why you aren’t seeing results.

But what if I told you that you could get out of your rut and start seeing results again?
And you don’t even need to leave your house to do it?

(I bet you’d tell me I sound like an infomercial)

Well yay for you, because now you can start saying, “Peace out stretch pants, it’s been real” and “Hellllo, mini-dress!”

Xflowsion is a combination of yoga, martial arts and dance. It’s also a combination that promises to deliver results. And the best news? It’s actually fun. No really, it is. Read More »

Writing for CollegeCandy has reinforced what I’ve always suspected: I don’t get society’s idea of male attractiveness.

This isn’t me “taking a stand” or “trying to be different” – I literally don’t get it. Never have, never will.

Why are so many women hot for men with six-packs? Seriously – what is it with this ab muscle obsession? It’s not like abs can do anything… I mean, an actually sturdy abdomen is imperative for breath support in operatic singing, but I don’t see ladies get their panties all twisted over the titular character in Don Giovanni.

I am also thoroughly vexed by the concept of male waxing. It seems like such a dichotomy, like, “Oooh, I want a manly-man with big manly-man muscles! Extra manly, please, woo!” …but then they want ‘em as Western-standard feminine as possible with waxed chests? Yeah. Um, hot…?

See, I’m down with chest hair because it actually is a male genetic trait. Same with facial hair. An unrelenting five o’clock shadow is a gorgeous, sexy thing. Y’know, kinda reinforces the idea that I’m dating a dude.

But whatevs, I’m cool with being outside the status quo. Keep your skeevy Ken-doll-mens. Just means all the more Mark Ruffalos for me.

Oh, and P.S.: Hair gel = creepy. I CAN SEE YOUR SCALP, DUDE!

What is your take on guys with six packs?
