4 - 7pm Dancing is the New Black
Felt very good to move my body this morning after a week of a pseudo-cold and very, very little energy. Did an hour of strength training, mixed in with some cardio intervals, followed by some dancing (with vodka) at Get Your Dance On at Brooklyn Bowl. Afternoon dance parties are fabulous.

Gratuitous Sexy Photos of Hollywood Stars in Fitness Magazines
The September issue of Men's Fitness features semi-naked photos of Taraji P. Henson, of Benjamin Button and I Can Do Bad All By Myself fame. Being a curious woman, I clicked through.

Andrew Das has the tragi-comic story of Wii injuries in yesterday's Times: "Call it Wii Shoulder. Or Wii Knee. If there is an epidemic of anything, it probably falls under a broader label: Nintendinitis."

Exercise vs. Breast Cancer
Women who exercise beat breast cancer far more often than those that don't. Sort of common sense, but the numbers from a new study (via Reuters) are surprising:
More...Among 1,231 women with breast cancer who were followed for a minimum of 8.3 years, those who obtained about 4 hours or more of weekly moderate-intensity recreational activity over their lifetime had a 44 percent lower risk of death from breast cancer
