Wowed By Wimbledon

Author: Erika

Over the weekend, one of the most epic tennis matches was played. It was the Wimbledon final between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. Roddick has not won a championship since 2002 and has not had great success against Federer, but this match was different. Roddick was more prepared than ever. On the line for Federer was the record for most grand slam titles. As Federer defeated Roddick in one of the longest matches ever, Pete Sampras (who previously had the most grand slam titles) was looking on during this momentous occasion.

Check out the final game of this 4 hour and 16 minute match:

I am sure that Roddick will be back at the US Open seeking to turn the tables on Federer.

Monfils Magic

Author: Erika

The French Open is one of the four major Grand Slams in tennis and is the only slam to be played on clay. This surface favors players with lots of spin and great court movement. Most players that are used to hard courts struggle on this surface. Unfortunately for the American players, they do not adapt well to the clay. Serena Williams is the only American player left in the tournament.

This year, the French men have really done well and stepped up their play. Tsonga and Montflis are two top French contenders that have been playing very well in the tournament. Monflis will play the top seed, Federer, next. Check out this video to see Monflis in what is probably the best point of the tournament. His opponent even gives him a high 5 for this play!

Fashionable Active Wear

Author: Erika

Clothing to exercise in has become more and more fashionable. It can be silly to think that people are spending more money on clothes that they will be sweating in than on clothes that they wear on a daily basis, but it is true in some cases. Plus, I find that a new outfit to work out in motivates me to get out there and get fit!

Here are some of my favorite pieces:

Nike Pull-Overs - $55 - Nike.com

nike-pull-over1

Lucy Tank Tops - $48 - Lucy.com

lucy-tank

Lululemon Yoga Pants - $98 - Lululemon.com

What clothes do you like to work out in? Do you have any favorite brands or does it not matter? Fill us in!

Super Bowl 3-D Commercials

Author: Erika

Have you heard about the 3-D commercials that will play during the super bowl? I am usually pretty informed when it comes to TV and sports, but this has just been brought to my attention. There will be two commercials that play this Sunday where having 3-D glasses will be needed for the full effect. To me, it seems like a lot of hassle to track down glasses to be able to watch these commercials, but keep in mind that participating stores will be handing them out at no cost. Check out this video about the 3-D commercials:

Are you planning to scour your area to find these glasses for a few minutes of 3-D awe? What do you think about these commercials? Fill us in!

Super Bowl Stories

Author: Erika

I am a huge Chargers fan, but with the Bolts out of the running I am jumping on the Arizona bandwagon. I always love a good underdog story and what could get better than a franchise that has never won a Super Bowl? This Sunday’s Super Bowl should prove to hold much excitement with any result. What a great story of perseverance and determination that can be shared to motivate and inspire others.

For the Steelers fans out there, they have 5 Super Bowls under their belt. If they win their sixth, they will move out of a three way tie for most Super Bowls won into a sole leader position. The Steelers have been a constant threat and continuously exude confidence. Their story is a great example of always pushing yourself to the next level, rather than achieving something great and becoming complacent.
