5 Surprising Health Benefits of Being a Sports Fan

Prevention — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:19:15 PST

We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Prevention here on FitSugar!

By Cristina Goyanes, Prevention

It’s no wonder your friends aren’t available to hang out on Sundays in the Fall and Winter - according to a 2005 Gallup Poll, 64 percent of Americans claim to be professional football fans, and as of 2010, women make up 44 percent of the NFL fan base.

Being a sports fan doesn’t mean you’re expected to know all the players and stats of your hometown teams and destined for a beer gut - it’s about coming together in the name of good times as part of a community.

“Bonding over sports - the highs and lows of the game - strengthens ties, helps us feel supported, and makes it easier for you to open up about personal things,” says Renee Clauselle, PsyD, who runs a private psychology practice in Long Island, NY.

Seventeen Unexpected Side Effects of Exercise

Rooting for the same team creates an immediate sense of family, says Daniel Wann, PhD, a Murray State University professor who has been studying the psychology of sports fans for over 20 years. “If you identify with a local team, you build an instant connection to others around you,” he says.

Beyond the bonding aspects, watching sports can motivate you to pump up your own workouts - and even burn a few extra calories when you jump, cheer, and clap during the highlights of the game. Find out more ways being a sports fan is a winning situation for your health.

Check Out Chanel's Exotic Pre-Fall 2012 Collection

Hannah Weil — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 09:13:59 PST

With luxe fabrics, metallic saris, jeweled headpieces, and Chanel's signature tweed, Karl Lagerfeld transported his Pre-Fall Paris spectators to colonial India. Rest assured, this collection is free of over-the-top Bollywood clichés, instead offering up imperial references in its homage to Bombay. While it highlights Chanel's expertise - suiting, ladylike dressing, rich texture, and layers of pretty pearls - it all marries perfectly with a beautiful departure to a more exotic aesthetic. Revealing that "most of the inspiration is from Indian men’s clothes rather than women’s clothes," Lagerfeld's parade of dresses and skirts over pants, gold-embroidered tunics, beaded sandals, and flat booties speaks both to bohemian decadence and wearability.

Trends: Dresses over pants, metallics, bohemian.
Colors: Black, white, gold, silver, and gunmetal metallics; a splash of fuchsia, blue, and pink.
Key Look: The cropped white button-down with the white draped skirt over pants, the silver and gold saris.
Accessories: Layered beaded necklace, headpieces, nose rings, bangles, green and brown quilted crossbody bags, embellished sandals, metallic booties, black-and-white booties, ties.
Who Would Wear It: The refined bohemian and Chanel fans, Freida Pinto, Kate Bosworth, Alexa Chung.

David Beckham Brings Brooklyn Along For a Special Galaxy Practice

Lauren Turner — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:41:11 PST

Brooklyn Beckham was a special guest at the Galaxy's practice in LA this afternoon. He hit the field with dad David and his teammates, including Landon Donovan, to show off his skills. David and his fellow soccer stars are gearing up for their next match after winning the Western Conference Championship earlier this week. Victoria and baby Harper watched the competition from a VIP box along with Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, Eva Longoria, and Zac Efron. Harper is just 4 months old, but she's already seen her fair share of sports action since she's also been a staple at her brother's weekend games. The spectating fun isn't over for Harper and the rest of the Beckhams since David's Galaxy will compete for American soccer's biggest prize in the MLS Cup on Nov. 20.

The launch party for The Spectator makes for many a spectacle on this week's Gossip Girl. Diana's celebration for her new gossip rag provides a few headline-worthy scandals itself, including Chuck accusing his therapist of hypnotizing him and Nate making out with Charlie, despite still being very much involved with the hostess. It's an event more exciting than any spectator sport I can think of, and I'm giving you a play-by-play of the episode's most noteworthy moments with my recap!

Kellan Takes His New Romance Public at the Immortals Premiere With Freida and Henry

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:59:09 PST

Kellan Lutz arrived on the red carpet at his Immortals premiere in LA last night holding hands with his girlfriend, actress Sharni Vinson. Kellan and Sharni reportedly started dating back in July, and weren't shy about showing some PDA last night, sneaking in a kiss as they arrived. The duo were on hand to join Kellan's costars, including Freida Pinto, Henry Cavill, and Stephen Dorff for the big debut at Nokia Live, which drew a large crowd of fans and spectators.

Freida, who arrived in a gorgeous Antonio Berardi dress and Chopard jewelry, walked the carpet solo but changed into a short party dress to reunite with her real-life leading man, Dev Patel, at the afterparty. We spoke with Freida about the modernized Greek epic and her cast of very handsome costars. Freida dished on her admiration for her love interest in the film, Henry. Henry, who has been shooting Man of Steel in recent months, has been showing off his remarkable abs on the set of the Superman reboot lately. Last night, he told us Immortals required just as much physical preparation. In fact, he said the movie's director, Tarsem, told him a six-pack just wasn't good enough - he needed an eight pack for the role! For more from the premiere, stay tuned for today's PopSugar Rush!
