Tackle Your Fitness Resolutions In The New Year With The Blissology Project
Here we are at the start of a new year, ready to keep our resolutions: get in shape, eat better, finally finish reading War and Peace and be able to casually compare our tumultuous love lives to those of Natasha and Prince Nikolay with anyone who’s there to listen. Mostly to exercise. But then we go outside, and it’s cold, too cold to go all the way to the gym, and we’re tired, that mac n’ cheese in a box is looking like the perfect no-fuss meal, and we feel short, and that book would make a great 1,500 page booster seat while we eat our macaroni.
Luckily, there’s a someone to keep you going, no matter where you are. Yogi and “Blissologist” Eoin Finn leads an engaging and powerful Yoga, Meditation and Lifestyle Program that streams online, so you can exercise without having to leave the house.
Try four of Eoin’s vinyasa yoga classes for 30 days for only $10, and receive his Blissology Project Handbook that helps you stick to your resolutions as the months go on. Watch the classes at home, or where ever your laptop can travel, and learn about fitness, nutrition and nature without breaking your New Year budget. More »

What do you call this nebulous period between Thanksgiving and Christmas break? The December Slump? Vacation on ice? Finals? Whatever name you choose to give it, this in-between time between breaks always sends us into a funk.

Here are our 5 simple steps for making your holiday limbo a little more cheery. More »
Blisstree’s Top 5 Posts

Geek Fitness: ‘Star Wars’ Yoga
Okay, so “Downward Facing Wookie” may sound like a gross position my college boyfriend always wanted to try, but if it gets nerds off their computers and exercising, I’ll totally buy this series. Oh and by “nerds” I mean “myself, and everyone else I know.” More Star Wars yoga positions after the jump. (via) More »

Video: How To Make Your Exercise Routine Even More Humiliating
I was going to do one of those “Presented without comment” sort of thing for this commercial for insane lunatics with children, but there are just too many points to be raised.
1) Does being a mommy mean that you have to dress like a princess in order to do your squats?
2) Am I hearing it wrong or is there some random gay jokes in here?
3) Why is this a no-thong zone? I mean, thongs are not comfortable to exercise in,… More »
Off The Market: Bethenny Frankel’s Exercise DVD ‘Body By Bethenny’
Although this DVD feels like just another celeb trying to get into the exercise tape market, at least Bethenny has a healthy philosophy that she’s honed during the years of her career.

Off The Market: Like A Handy, Shake Weight Is Difficult, Boring
We’ve all seen the slightly disturbing and suggestive infomercials for the Shake Weight — you know the ones that look like all these women are performing a sex act in the hopes of getting a toned upper body. I wanted to try it.

Gallery: 10 Best Celebrity Legs We Want RIGHT NOW
We wish we could steal a lot of things from Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron, and Tina Fey (money, fame, talent), including their legs. It’s that time of year when temperatures rise and hemlines follow suit, which means it’s time to bust out your ideal pair of celebrity gams, slap them on the fridge, and think about them every time you reach for that serving of pasta or pudding.
With that in mind, our colleagues at Blisstree compiled a gallery of awesome… More »
