I’m in love. With climbing. And it was not long ago that this love story began. I met climbing three years ago through a mutual friend who took me to the gym. And now, we’re in a committed relationship. Though I have to say, we got off to a precarious start. I began as a […]

I wasted 20 years of my life concentrating on something so stupid, it is embarrassing to admit. Between the ages of 14 and 34, I wanted to lose five pounds. I tried every single diet on the earth, from Scarsdale to Atkins and back. I believed if only I were skinnier and prettier, everything would […]

 By Eve Hersh I did something crazy yesterday. No, it wasn’t that I baked dozens of peanut butter cup cookies for a friend’s birthday without eating half the dough. It also wasn’t that I finally cleaned out my closet—this is the first time in YEARS I’ve had an actual surplus of hangers. An actual surplus, […]

As I’ve grown older, I’ve really come to appreciate having my own personal fitness goals. I used to define my fitness success or failure by way of comparison to other people in my immediate surroundings, in addition to a few friends who post their fitness achievements on Facebook–a horrible practice, but one I actually did […]

One of the biggest struggles I have had in becoming a parent is managing to fit exercise in. Between sleepless nights, busy schedules, and the sweet demands of my boys my personal fitness time is hard to find.  And truth be told, if I don’t get exercise I just cannot live up to my full […]

We took to Twitter to ask you, why do you run? This is what our followers said. What about you? Do you run for the love of running or for another reason? @AColoradoGal said: @Stonewear I #run because I love it. Granted, I burn out from time to time, but always start itching to get back on […]

The following piece was written by one of our catalog models and running friends who recently ran her first marathon. She used to dread the idea of running more than one mile. Now, she’s conquering 26.2 of them. I’ve never considered myself much of a runner. In fact, I used to hate the thought of […]

Electra Tank review by Ambassador Tami Mittan The Electra Tank is that quiet, pretty girl who sits in the corner and gets straight A’s.  She’s not a starting guard on the basketball team (like the Double Cross Top). She’s not the Homecoming Queen (like the Lyra Top).  But those who are fortunate enough to take […]

Thanks to Ambassador Beth Nobles for her review of the Stonewear Designs Birdie Top. This top is the perfect piece of activewear for playing golf and exploring your surroundings.  There’s always at least one part of my body that I miss when applying sunscreen. Fortunately, the Birdie Top‘s mandarin collar saved me the other day–a […]

To achieve your best race results, you’ve got to run efficiently. How? Your body needs to be relaxed with good form.
