Not Boring Workouts
Like The Dollop with squats! Like No Such Thing as a Fish with fitness! Accessible full-body workouts, surprising stories, hot takes and realistic expectations. We say "No!" to suspiciously peppy trainers and empty motivational slogans. We say "Yes!" to getting a little exercise, having a laugh, and maybe learning something new. Plus, you'll feel better later when you're binging 90 Day Fiancee and power-eating Pop Tarts.
