We Tried Selena Gomez's Sweat Routine For A Week And It Was A Challenge
It was *hot.*
What's up internet? We're Michelle and Jordan. In the past, we've tried some pretty insane shit.
This is us fighting each other after 60 days of MMA training. We're friends still, don't worry.
We were recently inspired by our coworkers Lara and Nina to check out Selena-Gomez-approved urban sweat lodge, Shape House. We wanted to see what would happen if we sweat every day for a full week. Check out the video of our experience here:

First, we met up with Sophie Chiche, the founder of Shape House, to learn more about the health risks, benefits, and what we were getting into.
If you ever decide to go, make sure your body is ready and right to sweat! Claimed benefits include but are not limited to: smoother skin, weight loss, better sleep, higher metabolism.
Once we were cleared to sweat, our first day began. We put on these cute cotton outfits:

You Can Do This Work Out With Only A Chair
Ready to get toned up?
First, we'll start with some split squats to tone up your glutes and quads!
Place the top of your right foot on the seat of the chair, and come into a lunge with your left leg. Repeat on the other side.
Then we'll move along to your arms! Work those triceps by doing a few dips.
Grabbing on to the edge of the chair's seat, bring your elbows to a 90 degree angle as you lower down.
Feel the burn yet? Great! Because now it's time to tone up your core with some knee tucks!
Come into a plank position with your feet on the seat of the chair. Then, alternate legs as you bring your knees in towards your chest.
You did it! Now let's get back to that booty and do a few glute bridges!
Place your feet on the middle of the chair seat and active your gluteus muscles in order to raise your bottom off the floor.

Your body will thank you!
Let's be real, so many of us sit in a chair all day long and don't think of our posture as much as we probably should. Get rid of your slouch and improve your posture with this quick and easy yoga routine!
Here's a video to follow along with:
Let's begin standing at the back of your mat. Slowly hinge at your hips and grab for your opposite elbows. Keep a slight bend in your knees and breathe while you hang in rag doll pose!
This will give your back muscles a nice stretch.
Next, walk your hands out in front of you and press your hips up towards the sky. Now you're in downward dog pose!
Keep a slight bend in your knees if needed. This will give your back and shoulders the stretch they need!

Women Tried The NFL Combine And Totally Kicked Ass
“I now have a much greater appreciation for football.”
With football season in full swing, we decided to take a shot at training like football players to see how we stack up. We attempted to complete the NFL Combine, aka the fitness test that NFL hopefuls take. We had never seen it attempted by a woman before, but we were ready for the challenge:

We enlisted Steve Smith, former New York Giants wide receiver and Super Bowl champion, to teach us how to achieve our potential in a sport we had never tried before.

After a comprehensive warm up, we started the test off with the bench press. Steve said the bench press tests a player's ability to push off defenders.

Things quickly got competitive...

We Trained Like Cirque Du Soleil Performers And It Was Freaking Hard
Who knew fulfilling a childhood dream would be so physically demanding.
You may have heard of the world phenomenon Cirque Du Soleil, where performers can be seen doing mind-blowing shit like this:

On the first day we met our coaches: Aloysia Gavre (aerial choreographer and Cirque Du Soleil alum) and Lauren Macleod (professional aerialist) from Cirque School LA.
They were complete and total badasses.

And within the first half hour, we were already upside down on a trapeze.

We Tried A $39 Massage, A $95 Massage And A $490 Massage To See If It Was Worth It
“I have no idea what’s happening to my body right now.”
Getting a massage is a great way to treat yourself and good for keeping the body healthy. So, Michelle and Jordan thought they would give their bodies a break and try out three massages at different price points to see which one was worth spending money on. Check it out:
BuzzFeedBlue / Via youtube.com
The first massage was a classic Thai massage at Aqua Thai Spa. With their early bird special, the hour long massage only cost $39.
To get the early bird special, you just have to come in for your massage during 10am - 2pm on any week day. You can also get the Thai combo massage (their most popular treatment) for only $45 with this same deal!

Thai massages typically use acupressure and assisted yoga for a full body experience.

Next up was a traditional Swedish massage from two of the top therapists at Tikkun Holistic Spa. This massage costs $95 for an hour and is able to be tailored to each individual's needs.
