If you've had to cut the gym from your budget, Urlesque reminds us that we're all already paying for an on-the-go workout space: the subway. They've compiled some videos of subway exercise methods from cities all over — the best and most comprehensive one can be found here.

Maybe this is just a sign that we need to hit the gym more often, but whaaa? This was the scene earlier today at fashion designer Charlotte Ronson's gym, where bitches were hitting the treadmills hard to fit into their slutty whatever costumes. (Hope they toweled down those machines afterward.) By the way—overheard on Bedford Ave in Williamsburg last night: "Well, I need to find loud panties because I'm going as a slutty bee!" Be careful out there Saturday night, people. [Twitpic via Guest of a Guest]

Everyone's been bit with the Bollywood bug in the wake of Slumdog Millionaire's Oscar wins. The Daily News reports on Sarina Jain's Masala Bhangra workout classes (which are held at various gyms throughout the city)—it isn't new, but it unsurprisingly has a lot of new students (attendance doubling since the movie started getting buzz). While it won't leave you looking like Freida Pinto, it will burn at least 500 calories, even if you don't do it gracefully. Practice at home (video) before doing this in public. And if Slumdog wasn't your thing, skip to 6:13 in this video for the more obscure The Reader dance.

After women have toned themselves with countless trips to the Stairmaster at the gym, Pilates classes, yoga classes, and broiling hot yoga classes, there is really only one final frontier of fitness to be addressed: their vaginas. That's why a physician in Manhattan has opened a gyno-spa called "Phitness," that is essentially a room down the hall from her medical practice. Per the New York Times, "At the spa, the signature treatment will be a $150 gynecological exam — in which a client contracts her pelvic muscles around Dr. Romanzi’s fingers — to determine by feel whether muscle tone is weak, moderate or strong." A workout regimen is then prescribed to promote pelvic fitness and health.
