While a standard gym membership is unlikely to go out of style anytime soon, we are far more excited about some other fitness phenomena that are going on around the country — CrossFit, SoulCycle, marathon racing, and now Tough Mudder.

The name itself is bold, masculine even, but what's it all about, and is it for us women? For starters, Tough Mudder is a hardcore, ten mile obstacle course series that put on more than 50 events in five countries in 2013. It is not a ten mile race, mind you. It is, the official site states, "an adventure challenge ... designed to test your all-around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie."

A recent in-depth article in The New Yorker described some pretty gritty circumstances; no wonder the majority of participants are males in their twenties and thirties.

Sure enough, Carol Kruse, the company's Global Chief Marketing Officer, confirmed that just approximately 25 percent of the participants are female, but that the Tough Mudder events, which vary depending on location and terrain, are "not about gender or age." With the addition of Mudderella (more on that later), the company's female participation is almost guaranteed to increase substantially. Furthermore, a rock hard body is not a requirement for entry.

Does A Relationship Need Great Sexual Chemistry? [VIDEO]

Are you tired of dating men — only to find that they weren't a match for you after sex? Do you wonder how important sexual chemistry is in a relationship? If so, help is on the way.

In this video, author and YourTango Expert Maya Ezratti explains that jumping into bed with someone too soon can hurt your chances of developing a relationship with that person. "You dont want to sleep with a guy too soon because then you risk ruining the chances of a great relationship that could develop," she says. "If the passion is there and the chemistry is there, it's still going to be there a week or two later." Hold off on sleeping together and get to know each other more intimately. Maya has a few suggestions.

5 Great Gatsby-Themed Dates [PHOTOS]

great gatsby-themed couple dancing How do you channel your inner-Daisy Buchanan? Can't wait for the film adaptation this summer? Here's how to bring the Roaring '20s to date night.

The film adaptation of The Great Gatsby hits theaters this summer and if Director Baz Luhrmann's latest film is anything like his other colorful, musical love stories (Moulin Rouge and Romeo & Juliet just to name a few), it's bound to be a blockbuster hit.

In case you need a refresher (sans Sparknotes), the novel is set in the summer of 1922 and follows narrator Nick Carraway who rents a small house on Long Island across from the sprawling estate of the enigmatic Jay Gatsby. The Great Gatsby provides a snapshot into a glorious age in America's history — the Roaring Twenties — a time of booming economy, flappers and jazz musicians, bootleggers and gangsters. And it was perhaps the first time in history when Americans truly felt liberated in their sexuality as individuals.

But above all else, it's a love story and we fully expect Leonardo Dicaprio and Carey Mulligan to steam up the silver screen as the dashing Jay Gatsby and his love from the past, the darling Daisy Buchanan.

So needless to say, it's one of the sexiest books of all time. (Still don’t believe us? Did you know that before he decided on a title, the author considered calling his story The High-Bouncing Lover?)

Excited yet? Jazz it up with one of these five date ideas inspired by The Great American Novel. They would make F. Scott Fitzgerald proud.

What It Takes To Be A Great Girlfriend [EXPERT]

smiling black couple What kind of girlfriend are you? Fifteen tips to make him glad he's all yours.

Every relationship we have — even if it does not end in marital bliss — is a learning experience. Through trial and error, I have discovered what it takes to be a fantastic girlfriend.

For some men, straying is in their genes, and you really can't do anything about it, nor should you try. If he is the unfaithful type, let him go. As for the others, who may exhibit a glimmer of hope or simply have commitment in their DNA, the following reminders may be useful:

1. Remember: It's a man's nature to look. Don't go psycho just because you see him looking or talking to another female. Remember, it is in a man's nature to look. If he doesn't touch and you don't get jealous, it will keep him wanting you more. He will then work harder to keep your relationship going.

Same thing with nagging. When you continuously nag it will only annoy him more and then the nagging can turn into resentment. If you ask him to do something for you, do it once and then be patient. The screaming approach has never worked.    

2. Avoid "fatal attraction" calling. Calling him over and over makes it look like you have nothing else going on in your life and thus are more needy than independent. Also, don't stalk him by any social media sites. That never goes down well either.

3. Let him see his friends. Don't turn into a b**ch when he wants to go out with his friends. Instead, embrace it. Give him something to remember you before he leaves and then tell him to have a wonderful time.

4. Remember: Food is the way to a man's heart. You do not have to be a gourmet chef, but if you have a few exciting recipes in your repertoire, then you will look even better. This is especially useful when he has his friends around. Give them their guy time and make food. If cooking is not your thing, have a great array of take-away menus at your disposal. Keep reading ...
