What Men Think: Adam Levine

Are you as sensitive as your song lyrics would lead us to believe?
Absolutely. I like to be able to open up and be sensitive. Making yourself vulnerable is a huge step, especially for a guy. It makes you feel great, but it also puts you in harm's way.

Does technology like texting help or hurt a couple's connection?

Text messaging gets a bad rap. It's the best thing ever because you don't have to talk on the phone that much! You can convey your interest in how the person is doing or say "Hey, I want to let you know I love you." It's a fantastic way to be creative with your writing. It's no different from a love letter.

What's the key to a good relationship?

Embrace who the person is and don't hide who you actually are, and you'll be fine.

What still confuses you about women?

25 Deceptively Simple Exercises [We made the front page of Shape.com!]

Why yes that is Gym Buddy Allison’s adorable grin gracing the front page of Shape.com! One-legged squats. Push-ups. Plank. Burpees. We’ve all seen them done so many times that, admit it, sometimes we write them off as too easy or boring. But in an article I wrote for Shape, I discovered that while these humble exercises may be simple they sure aren’t easy! Check out the Gym Buddies and I on the homepage of Shape.com and read up on all the exercises we think are harder than they look. (And of course, us being us, we got kinda silly during [...]

When Gym Trainers Hog the Workstations

I don't know about you, but trainers who set themselves up with some sort of mini-circuit involving two or more workstations really ping me off. Like today, this guy was using a leg press machine and I wandered in to the squat rack only to be told that he was 'still using that'. Excuse me? He did have some weights on the bar, but since when can someone occupy two workstations at busy times?
