Are You Game, Chicago?

Hosting last year's fashion show or am I showing a little leg?

It's that time of year again when I head to Chicago to emcee Women's Health Magazine's annual event, Are You Game?  It is one of my favorite jobs all year because I get to hit the beach on Lake Michigan and enjoy a day designed specifically for women.  It's a fun day filled with fitness, fashion, food, and freebies!  The sponsors that come out to participate bring their latest fitness products to check out, so look for Athleta, Oakley, PUMA, Crunch, and more.  As in previous years, you won't want to miss the fitness classes and the opportunity to do yoga, dance, and my favorite, Masala Bhangra outside on a beautiful day. (Fitness schedule is here.) This year's Beneficiary is DetermiNation, a program created by the American Cancer Society.  It is a series of endurance events and training programs featuring marathons and triathlons to help fight cancer.   So, I hope to see you out there sweating with me, burning a few calories, and meeting a few new friends.  Hey, Chicago, Are You Game?

When:  Sunday, July 24th, 2011
            10AM-4PM

Women's Health Magazine: Are you Game?

Hey Everyone,
I am back from crisscrossing the country twice last week. I am sitting inside on the couch today which really isn't a good endorsement for the event I hosted for Women's Health Magazine in NYC yesterday. It was a fantastic, fun, and FREE day for women to enjoy fitness classes, makeovers, massages, and pick up some sample products. The weather could not have been better as thousands turned out to enjoy the activities. I also emceed the 3 fashions shows with the gorgeous workout looks from ASICS, Champion, and Oakley. I was surprised at how important recycled fabrics have become to the workout industry. I love that eco-friendly element.

I was able to sample some of the products as ASICS gave me two pairs of amazing sneakers and Oakley generously donated a pair of sunglasses to my collection. The day is full of non-stop fun and our DJs, Sugar Ray and Tim Martell, kept me dancing all day. Oh, and I even managed to do a backflip on the Euro-Bungee, broke a nail in the process, and then had Maybelline take care of it 5 minutes later since they were offering free manicures. That's how GOOD an event it was! (OH, and Edy's Cookies and Cream Frozen Yogurt was delicious too!)
Now, if you live in Chicago, we are headed there next week on July 18th. Check out all of the info here: Women's Health Magazine. So, be sure to stop by and say "hi"!

PS Enjoy the photos of me on the Euro-Bungee. What I do want to know is what is going on in the photo with the two women. Is it circus, yoga, stretching? Comment away and let me know.
