The men’s soccer team defeated Charleston (W. Va.) on Saturday, 4-1.  For the first time since 2000, they will compete in the NCAA Final Four in Tampa, FL. on December 3.  They will play the winner of Tampa and Lees-McRae

Bring us home a National Title boys!

You can read about the Quarterfinal victory here.

1. Sue Sylvester (from Glee):  Get yourself a track suit and a whistle and you’re good to go.  Slip one-liners into every conversation (“You know what Sue Sylvester’s never done?  Paid income tax.”) and you’ll be a hit.

2. The Incredible Hulk:  Green body paint and some ripped up purple pants.  You should already have a ripped six pack from reading this blog, but draw it on if you must.  Start getting really uncomfortable and crushing cans while in the middle of conversation.

3.  Richard Simmons: Wear Tight, 80s fitness clothes, big hair and and speak in a high-pitched, slightly panicked voice.

4.  Jillian Michaels (The Biggest Loser): This one will work best if you have some incredibly toned arms.  Just wear a black tank and some tight jeans.  Look really pissed off all the time and tell people that they’re only overweight because they’re weak and have issues with their parents.

5.  Arnold Schwarzenegger: Carry around some dumbbells and say in an Austrian accent, “I want to pump YOU up.”  Then start talking about the politics of California.

6.  Harlem Globetrotter: These guys never stopped being cool.  Practice your basketball skills first, though, because people are going to expect you to spin the ball on your finger and be an expert at a figure 8 (fancy dribbling between your knees).

7.  Tiger Woods: This one’s pretty simple.  Dress like a golfer and be really polite all night. 

8.  Mia Hamm: Get yourself some soccer gear.  Randomly during the night drop to your knees and let out a bellowing victory cry while you rip your shirt off.  Ok, that was Brandy Chastain but still.

9.  David Beckham: Soccer gear again.  Or just some Calvin Klein whitey-tighties with an open button down.  Stock up on temporary tattoos.  Look really hot and unapproachable, but come off as slightly dense when someone starts talking to you.  Oh, and take along a friend who can be a Spice Girl!!

10.  Wonder woman: Because you are, damn it.  Don’t forget the golden lasso!

11.  Veggie-tales:  Ok, so number 11 is thrown in for the kiddies.  What’s healthier than a vegetable that promotes moral values?

The Truth Behind Before And After Photos

Most of the time, the people in the before and after pictures are fitness models who have spent a few months slacking off prior to getting their “before” pictures taken. When a muscle is trained, detrained and retrained, there is a faster change in muscle size.

There are so many different techniques you can use to alter the models bodies, and as mentioned in the video, sometimes the Before and After photos are taken in the same day. So….don’t believe everything you see!

Shout out to mizzFIT, a SWEET fitness blog.  Great find on the picture – we’re laughing our boobs off over here.

If anything, this puts into perspective that you really need to make sure any celebrity-endorsed fitness regime is legitimate.  You can leave that up to us to only pass along the things that we have tested ourselves for you.  We just won’t tape ourselves doing it.
