Each and every year, men and women around the world say that one of their New Years resolutions is going to be to exercise more. How many years have you said this to yourself and it just hasn’t happened? Guilty as charged! So this year, instead of buying a new gym membership or a personal trainer, we decided to think of alternative ways to get back into shape without feeling like we’re working out!
STEP 1: Here at Kings of Cole, we are strong believers that you need to look good to feel good so our first recommendation would be to look cute while you’re working out! Get rid of your sloppy old t-shirts and dirty sneakers and treat yourself to some new clothes for your work out wardrobe. You deserve it! Whether it be a great new pair of sneakers, yoga pants or a new Kings of Cole zip-up or sweatpants, you can feel motivated and inspired by just adding a few new items into the mix!

Step 2: Instead of going to the gym and doing the same boring routine of 30 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes on the treadmill, try to mix up your exercise regimen by doing different kinds of work outs. Here are three fun and strenuous work outs that we highly recommend:
*Tracy Anderson’s Metamorphosis DVD Box Set: We are OBSESSED with Tracy Anderson’s 90-day Metamorphosis program! With just 4 DVDs, you can work out with Tracy, mixing cardio and muscular structure exercises. We promise you will see changes after the first two weeks! You can purchase your DVDs here: www.tracyandersonmethod.com
*Sheila Kelly’s S Factor: We recently tried S Factor’s Pole Dancing work out and highly recommend it! Get a group of girlfriends together and spend two hours having a great time and getting in an amazing work out while doing it. S Factor is a fitness technique that combines yoga, ballet, pilates, striptease and pole dancing and teaches women the language of their bodies. S Factor has studios in NYC, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, San Francisco and Costa Mesa, as well as DVDs available for purchase online.

*Rock Climbing: Another fun way to work out is to rock climb! We love to challenge ourselves and rock climbing is the best way to do it. One of the most challenging rock climbing walls in the country is at Chelsea Piers in NYC. Their wall has numerous climbing routes and beginners and experts alike will have a great time discovering new paths every time they go.

Here at Kings of Cole, we are huge fans of Tracy Anderson!

With just 4 DVDs, you can work out with Tracy and see your body change drastically over three months! What better way to kick off the New Year than by starting this program? We are definitely putting Tracy’s Metamorphosis DVD’s on our holiday wish list! Don’t forget to wear your Kings of Cole while working out with Tracy! The pull-over is her favorite

After hearing phenomenal reviews and reading the star-studded list of attendees including Leo DiCaprio and Amy Adams, we decided to experience Sleep No More, a Punchdrunk Theatre Co. production that takes place at the imaginary, McKittrick Hotel in Chelsea, NYC. Unlike anything we have ever experienced, Sleep No More recreates the story of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” in a mysterious, haunted 100-room hotel where you’re encouraged to roam the hallways and hidden corridors at your own leisure. We held hands, put on our masks (every audience member is required to wear one) and followed the actors from room to room—a ballroom filled with pine trees, a pitch-black graveyard, an insane asylum, a rave.. the list goes on! After two and a half hours we weren’t ready to leave! This is definitely a NYC experience you won’t want to miss out on! Click here to buy tickets and be sure to get them in advance as the shows book up fast: www.sleepnomorenyc.com. And one little tip: wear flat shoes and be sure not to be the first one out of the elevator!
The boyfriend look is here to stay!
Ladies admit it, we all have that favorite boyfriend’s (or in some cases: ex-boyfriend’s) tee that we literally wear until there are holes in it. Well now you can have your OWN boyfriend clothing, minus the boyfriend. Gentlemen, beware.
We called for gender equality and the fashion gods have certainly heard our prayers! Why should men get to lounge around looking oh-so-cute in their loose, slouchy jeans while we have to unbutton our top button every time we sit down?? (and you know it’s true) No more! Check out our favorite boyfriend looks below:
Boyfriend Jeans, Kings of Cole Boyfriend Hoodie in Denim and Sweatpants in Red, Danni Jo Mustache necklace, Boyfriend blazers
