Like that reality check from stepping on the scale, you should also slip into a swimsuit to view the true you before summer hits. The mirror doesn't lie. It may prove just the dose of truth you need to cut a few calories and start exercising to reach your best look at the beach this summer.

Go swimsuit shopping now to get a good look at your bod. If there's a roll of fat sticking out from underneath that gorgeous new tankini, put the suit back on the rack and re-direct your disappointment into motivation to lose weight responsibly through diet 'n fitness.

It takes a hard-core fitness buff to run in the frigid winter weather. It takes just a touch of insanity to run in the winter ... in a Speedo ... wearing a Santa hat.

Need a little inspiration? Or maybe just a time-out from all the holiday hoopla to look at some hard bodies in Santa wear? Then check out this Santas in Speedos gallery over at Holidash.

Over at Holidash, they're showing Santa dressed as you've never seen him before -- in a Speedo. OK, fine, it's not the real Santa -- it's far too cold in the North Pole to ever need a skimpy swimming costume. Want to know who his scantily-clad stand-ins are? Head over to Holidash for the scoop.

I've been drenched this summer. About a million hours so far racing around water parks, pounding out cannonball after cannonball with my children and running laps in pools with clients striving to become more fit. I just thought I'd give credit to the one thing that's allowing me to get through it all and keep coming back for more: my pool shoes.

I tell you, they're ugly, fugly, and completely unflattering with my brown polka dotted bikini. They are, in fact, the only thing keeping me from tapping out of summer fun though. I realized this yesterday as I went to work at my client's lap pool and forgot them. Oh man! Every step I took was more excruciating than the last. It was dreadful. I also had a rotten experience a bit back when I hit Disney's Typhoon Lagoon without my fancy footwear. Between the heat, the concrete, and the sand ... my feet took quite a beating.

So! If you too, are working out in the water this summer and want to take it up a notch ... protect those tootsies and get yourself some pool shoes. They're one of the most functional fitness tools I've used all summer!
