New Year who dis? A seismic shift hit 2022 (to say the least) and reverberated through all of us. It threw our priorities and goals and day-to-day habits into a high-speed blender. The topsy-turvy time also offered up an opportunity to reset, embrace the unexpected, and figure out how to keep going. Would 2021 you

This past November, I ran the New York City Marathon. The day was one to remember, though there are a few details I’d be cool with forgetting, like how unreasonably hot the weather was or the fact that my toenails turned black from running 26.2 miles. (I could go on, but I won’t.) But the

Hey mama! Congratulations on your new baby and we’re sure you can’t wait to get back into action to start working out. Don’t forget, we all heal at a different pace, but a good indication of how well you’re healing would be to get the ‘all clear’ from your doctor when you go for your

While some people have an emotional-support water bottle, I have what I like to call an emotional-support blanket. Not to be confused with a “blankie” gifted at childhood, my emotional-support blanket isn’t just one singular blanket I carry around everywhere. Instead, it’s any blanket that I can get my hands on. It doesn’t matter if

Adeola Heyman’s version of a deadlift doesn’t require a barbell: in pole dancing, the term is used to describe hoisting your entire body from a standing position to an inverted one while gripping a pole and only using your upper-body strength. It practically defies the laws of gravity, but that’s standard for Heyman, a 30-year-old
