Goop is good for a lot of things:  dreaming, workout inspiration, and a whole lot of giggles (mostly related to sky-high prices and unrealistic suggestions about lifestyle).  When Gwyneth Paltrow's site released its annual Detox Diet plan, one blogger decided to participate.  At an expense of more than $70 and an entire day's worth of time, Beth Hoyt tried four of the suggested detox dishes:  chia seed pudding, roasted kabocha soup, "kale in comparison" juice, and grilled zucchini socca tacos.  Watch her expensive, exhausting journey and decide for yourself how you feel about the Goop Detox Diet — we're leaning toward ridiculous.

 

Let's be real:  many of us struggle to do a single pull-up, let alone an entire set.  Marisa Inda, an Instagram-famous personal trainer with a body that puts most professional athletes to shame, has an entire pull-up dance routine.  No, we're not kidding.  When the mom and fitness maven appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform her unbelievably difficult routine, the host was left speechless.  Watch the dance and try to wrap your head around the fact that this is totally authentic ... no invisible stairs or assistance required.

 

When you hit the 30-year mark, it not only means more candles on your birthday cake than someone in their 20s, but it majorly affects your workouts as well.  Give a little nod or chuckle (or shed a little tear) if you can relate to these.

20s:  Wearing my cutest top so I can chase that cute guy at the gym.

30s:  Doing sprinting intervals so I can chase after my kids.

 

Getting Dolled Up:

30s:  Yay, I actually remembered my hair tie!

 

Footwear:

20s:  My sneakers are a few years old, who cares?

30s:  Without my brand new sneaks and arch-supporting insoles, my plantar fasciitis really acts up.

Weight Loss:

20s:  I walked my dog wearing yoga pants.  Phew, what a great workout!

30s:  At least four workouts a week are a must if I want to just maintain my weight.

Boobs:

20s:  I'm wearing two sports bras for added support.

30s:  I'll pay any amount of money for a bra that'll make my sagging boobs look as perky as they did in my 20s.

 

Hands:

20s:  I better get a manicure so my hands look pretty in Down Dog.

30s:  Who cares about my nails?  Yoga better help my arthritis.

Butts:

20s:  What can I do to make my butt look smaller?

30s:  Bigger the better.  Bring on the squats!

 

Post-class:

20s:  Leisurely hit the sauna, take a long shower, then meet up with friends for a splurging dinner out.

30s:  Bolt out as soon as the class is over to relieve my significant other or sitter.

 

Post-Workout Fuel:

20s:  Let's head out for a beer, 'cause whatevs!

30s:  Love me my homemade energy ball and coconut water.

Muscles:

20s:  What's DOMS?

30s:  Ughhh, DOMS, why do you feel so close to a hangover?!?

 

Strength:

20s:  Check out my biceps.  I just joined CrossFit.

30s:  Check out my biceps!  I just had a baby.

Sex:

20s:  A morning romp in the hay totally counts as a workout.

30s:  I work out just so I don't hurt myself having sex.

 

Alcohol:

20s:  I'm a little hungover, but I'll work out anyway.

30s:  I work out just so I can drink more wine.

The first step out the door is the hardest, right?  Well sometimes all the steps afterward can make staying on the healthy path impossible.  Like spilling your kale, kiwi, banana smoothie on the floor.  Keep reading to see more #fails — have these happened to you?

 

Dang it!  Forgot sneakers entirely.

Not only is my fibre-filled breakfast ruined, but now I have to clean up this mess.

Running on unfamiliar roads and my Garmin decides to crap out.  Perfect.

Managed to remember my lunch from home but grabbed the wrong container.  #FML

Who burns hard-boiled eggs?  I do, apparently.  Ugh.

Two right sneakers.  Awesome.

One sneaker?  Even better.

Seriously?  How do you even break a Theraband?

Well that's one way to do organic.

When pureeing white bean and kale soup turns into unintentional wall art, it's not good.  Not good at all.

Forgetting my gym clothes sucks.

So much for trying to go light on the dressing.

Clearly wasn't thinking when I packed my lunch.

Good gracious, is that an eyelash on my chickpea?!  That'll teach me to hit the cafe instead of bringing salads from home.

Accidentally adding the plastic corner I cut off a bag of frozen fruit to the blender tastes even worse than you think.

Braved the cold, and then this happened.  And I just got these new running tights!

Psyched the sun was shining on my run, but then remembered I forgot the sunscreen.

Kinda tough to eat my salad with this.

So disappointing.

New sneaks and this sh*t happens ... literally!

New ice cream shop opened up right next door to my gym.  What an incredibly cruel joke — delicious and creamy — but cruel and impossible to resist.  Screw the protein smoothie.  Vanilla mint wins.

Workout?  Check.  Healthy breakfast?  Damnit!

Oh sweet.  My Garmin died 10 minutes into my workout.

All the long and thick-haired ladies know how much this sucks.

Now that's what you call working your ass off.

You were so psyched to make that cauliflower crust pizza everyone's been talking about, but then you totally forget to set the timer.

Made it to the top of the rope in CrossFit but have the battle scars to prove it.

Next time you're feeling embarrassed at the gym, know that you're blessed — at least you're not on national television.  The same can't be said for The Price Is Right announcer George Gray, who fell flat on his back during a treadmill demonstration on the show.  He quickly figured out why running backward on the treadmill is always a bad idea, but he made a pretty impressive recovery!  Instead of sulking off the stage after his fall, Gray got right back up and laughed it off for the cameras.  Thank goodness he doesn't take himself too seriously, because the TV personality's reaction makes this clip absolutely hilarious.
