Fertility and Libido The Mellow Eastern Medicine Way

Whether you're in love with birth control and just looking for more sexercise or hoping to sign up for stroller bootcamp soon, here's an event worth noting:

  • Who: Our friends over at Well + Good NYC and Jill Blakeway, board certified acupuncturist, clinical herbalist, former Professor of Asian Medicine, and fertility and libido expert
  • What: A salon-style discussion event, focused on libido and fertility
  • When: Monday, October 4, 2010, 6:30 to 8:00 P.M.
  • Where: The YinOva Center, 80 E. 11th St., NYC

Is It Shallow To Pick Your Team Based Purely On Their Name?

There's a strong possibility that, gasp, you've failed to follow the Brooklyn Kickball League this season. But the New York Post wants you to know, it's not too late — playoffs start this weekend, and the Post has a handy guide to which crazy teams to watch (complete with wry little lines like "Who is the dark horse? Is it the aptly named Pony Boys?")  Perhaps most interesting — the team names. You've got:

Quidditch

Are You Ready For Some Magical Fitness?

If November 19th is already circled on your calendar with the note "Harry Potter 7 opens!" there are a couple of other dates you should also be marking: November 13th and 14th. That's when the Quidditch World Cup comes to town. Hosted by the International Quidditch Association, the games go down this year in NYC. And Social Workout's very own Killercadoogan is fielding a team in association with the NYC Harry Potter Meetup Group aka The Group That Shall Not Be Named (TGTSNBN). Try-outs are this Saturday! But that's not all. As a lead up to the Quidditch World Cup, Killercadoogan and TGTSNBN bring you the Quidditch Team Training Challenge. 28 days of magic and fitness. Details after the jump.

Last Chance To Sign Up For The Warrior Dash

Here at Social Workout HQ, we take regular stretch breaks during which we touch our toes, do pushups, and awkwardly lunge around the office. Yesterday's stretch was all aflutter with talk of the upcoming Warrior Dash. Seems a number of our cool Flavorpill officemates are doing the dash, which involves, mud, flames, rock walls, cargo nets, old tires, swamps, planks, tunnels...you get the idea. In sum, it's 3.23 miles of dirty mayhem. And this is the last weekend to sign up. The details:

Chelsea and Bill Spin For $100K

How much do people love spinning? Or maybe the better question is, how much do people who love spinning love the Clintons? So much that Soul Cycle's hour long ride with Bill and Chelsea this weekend raised more than a $100,000 for the Clinton Foundation Haiti Fund. Very nice. And also intriguing. I've developed a theory: I think it has something to do with spandex. Spandex is not a conservative fabric. The more spandex you wear, the more liberal you are. Spinning and its full body spandex...you do the math.

Sweaty, Muddy Ways For Bankers To Unwind

For angry bankers who can't work it out with the Wall Street Journal's suggestion of Bikram Yoga, Business Week has another idea: The Spartan Race. To kick it off, a guy in a cape and helmet yells "Spartans, prepare for glory! No retreat! No surrender! That is Spartan law. Remember to return with your shield—or on it! Ah-roo!" and then racers run three miles, jump hurdles, climb over piles of wood and dirt and dodge bare-chested men with jousting sticks.
