Two nerds (go figure) invented a stationary bike that gives you a stronger internet connection the harder you pedal. Now they can get lean and fit for all those dates they'll never go on.
Dr. Madan Kataria is the brain behind Laughter Yoga, a combination of “laughter exercises with yoga breathing.” He's also the brains behind its accompanying YouTube videos, which are like Tim and Eric-style insanity (poor editing, green screen, terrible music), but real. Can we take him home? NOW PLEASE?
After hanging ten, T.J. the surfing dog was so wiped, he fell asleep with his sunglasses on! Next time you consider whether or not to hit the gym, think of T.J. If he can surf til he sleeps, you can afford at least 15 minutes of cardio.
Watch this pup squat and flex, really showing off those quadriceps. Even Japanese dogs are more fit than American humans!
Transsexual European icon (who knew?) Amanda Lear sang a song in 1983 called “Love Your Body” that we imagine was a f*cked up, fat-pride reaction to Olivia Newton-John. How Everything Is Terrible didn't pick this up at a garage sale before we found it is still beyond us.
Culture Buzz Helen and Norm, two orange goblins in flesh-tone bathing suits, make a bad porn, but they replace the sex and kissing and stuff with an “erotic” exercise routine.

Miami was named the fattest city in America by Men's Fitness, while Colorado Springs ranked most fit. Minneapolis, Denver and Salt Lake City beat out the sunny, beachside city, which should be a wake-up call, considering those cities are effing freezing.
Science Buzz Rats who exercise regularly have more testosterone and, um, better erections (don't think about that too much) than rats who don't. The sex expert says: “wives may also see the parallel between aged rats and their husbands.”
This yoga instructor's cat thinks that exercising is stupid and a waste of time.
It's like a Flintstones car for the 21st century - perfect for all those treadmill users who dream about actually getting somewhere one day.
Austrian geniuses hooked up an exercise bike to a heat pump to create a human-powered beer-chilling device. Assuming you’re drinking cancer-fighting beer, I don’t see how this scenario could be healthier.

An intense 20-minute or less daily work out that was developed in the 80’s. Some crossfit exercises are so intense that they’ve caused injury or even death.
Tech Buzz The Fitbit promises to not only track how many steps you take and how many calories you burn, but how long it takes you to fall asleep and how many times you wake up during the night. Apparently your wrist “experiences tiny tremors” while you’re slipping into REM sleep. So if you wake up feeling un-rested, you can check Fitbit’s online database to find out exactly how long you were asleep, and thus justify your caffeine consumption with fancy statistics.
Sports Buzz A new style of yoga in which traditional poses are performed on a tightrope, often in remote outdoor locations. We can barely do a headstand, much less walk a tight rope, much less do both at the same time. But there is a rare breed of athlete that actually puts this into practice.
Sports Buzz An extreme sport involves strapping on a pair of jumping stilts that act like pogo sticks on your feet. A Korean company has made $400 knockoffs of these odd German stilts that allow you to run at 20 miles an hour and jump 6 feet in the air. And you thought rollerbladers looked ridiculous!
Sports Buzz They add pounds to your workout, allowing you to burn more calories. New varieties are sleeker and can even be worn under your everyday clothing. In the vein of FitFlops and Balance Sneakers, these vests are a way to almost effortlessly tone-up just by walking up the street. We feel comforted knowing that we’re burning twice the number of calories as we get up to refill our coffee while wearing our weighted vests.
Sports Buzz “Ski Walking” and hill bounding with poles began as an off season routine for Nordic skiers as a way to exercise all year long. We haven’t noticed many ski walkers on the streets of New York City, but we’re hearing reports back that it’s the latest fitness craze amongst middle-aged ladies who love indoor-mall-walking and Scandinavians alike.
