Caster Semenya, the 18-year-old athlete who became the 800m world champion in August, has been shown to have both male and female organs following gender testing demanded by The International Association of Athletics Federations. The official results of the tests have yet to be made public, but reports coming form inside the IAAF claim that, when they are revealed, they will show that Semenya is a hermaphrodite, the New York Daily News informs. Speculation on the athlete’s gender first started when one of the other women in the competition told the media, at the end of it, that she had been defeated by a man. The theories that were ...

Not only do 80 to 95 percent of all women have it at least on one part of their body, but there is really nothing that can be done about it, no matter how hard we try, FitSugar says. Following recent research showing that most women “suffer” from the dreaded and much-ridiculed condition, FitSugar set out to establish five things about cellulite we might not be aware of. The first of it would be, of course, that cellulite is not really a condition from a medical poin...

[read more >>] They say stunning Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller is all in a league of her own: she’s neither too thin nor too plump, and has such definition on her body that only good genes cannot account for. In all fairness, Miller works really hard to stay in shape, from hitting the gym several times a week and keeping as active as possible, to being careful about what she eats, as the model herself reveals in the latest interview with Shape magazine. First of all, Marisa insists, all that we see about her is real: nothing has been added and nothing has been cut out. Her body is as such because she grew up in a very active family, an...

[read more >>] As a rule, when working out, women usually focus on the parts of their body that they know they have problems with, like the back of the legs, where cellulite is more visible, the ab and the arms.

Derailers are everywhere, and even our own body works against us at times, with powerful emotions like anger and frustration.
