It’s hard to compete with the amazing post-workout feeling of bliss many athletes experience. The release of endorphins after a hard run, intense HIIT workout, or strength workout feels so energizing, but what doesn’t feel so great is the frequent calf soreness and tightness experienced afterward.

Whether you’re low on space or fitting in a workout while traveling, resistance-band workouts are the way to go — the bands are small, lightweight, and use your bodyweight to create a solid strength workout. There are plenty of resistance band exercises that work your butt and lower body, but did you know resistance bands

A new study out of Arizona State University indicates that, to quote the researchers: ‘fat can be fit’. What’s more, the authors argue that when it comes to mitigating the health harms of obesity, focusing on fitness – as opposed to weight loss – is the smarter, more sustainable strategy. Here, one writer explores the science of

You’ve probably seen the ads for the weight-loss app Noom on your social media pages, promising to help you “stop dieting” and achieve “life-long results.” As with most subscription weight-loss apps, you’re probably wondering how much Noom costs per month, whether there’s a free trial you can cash in on, and, ultimately if the app
