I fell in love with yoga in college. Every Saturday morning of my freshman year, a few friends and I would ride the bus to the free class offered at a Lululemon downtown. It was a half-hour commute for a class that started at 8:30 a.m., but we went religiously, regardless of how much or

In the spring, I made a new fitness goal for myself, mostly thanks to the influence of my aching knees. Instead of heavily relying on HIIT, squats, lunges, and deadlifts to give my legs a workout, I wanted to spend a little more time exercising my lower body through low-impact workouts. Without access to a

When it comes to snack time, we want something to keep us full and focused as we’re trying to live our lives. We’re looking for options filled with protein and that have a lower carbohydrate content. As if finding yummy snacks wasn’t exciting enough, these 14 options are all on Amazon. This list includes protein

Does anyone else feel like the universe is out to sabotage their gains? Or is it just us? First, there was Lockdown Level Stay Indoors And Eat Your Feelings. By the time we could go run – yay! – 6am had become the dead of night and our window of freedom was all of five

When competing, and even during the off-season, surfers are almost always on the move. After six years on the World Surf League Championship Tour (aka the highest level of pro surfing), pro surfer Alana Blanchard can testify to that: “We’re pretty much gone most of the year, traveling,” she told POPSUGAR. “The surfing circuit goes

When ski jumpers were programmed in the workout at my gym, I had no idea what the heck they were. After my coach demonstrated them, I couldn’t wait to hop on a bench and give them a try. Also called bench jumps or side-to-side bench jumps, this exercise is challenging but also playful, and makes

Rachael Denhollander speaks during Larry Nassar’s sentencing phase in Ingham County Circuit Court on Jan. 24, 2018. Rachael Denhollander opened her laptop on Aug. 4, 2016, and saw an article trending on Facebook that changed everything. It was Indianapolis Star‘s initial investigation into USA Gymnastics’s (USAG) failure to properly report claims of sexual assault made

Same ol’ concrete running route feeling a little, well, old? Good news: Trail running is having a much-deserved (and much-needed) moment — and we’re oh-so-here for it. Those smart folks are onto something: Exercising in nature actually quiets the part of the brain associated with overthinking, says research published by PNAS. (Can we say “yes, please”?!)

We practically live in our workout clothes, and we want our leggings drawers to be fully stocked at all times, but things can get pricey quickly. That’s one of the reasons we love Old Navy’s activewear. Their styles are cute, comfortable, size-inclusive, and so affordable. We can’t believe how affordable they actually are: everything we

We know we should love and accept our bodies as they are, take care of our physical and mental health, and that who we are is infinitely more important than what we look like, but it’s a lot easier said than done. Diet culture, the media, and even our our insecurities get in the way

Earlier this month, 9-year-old Kaitlyn Saunders and her parents went down to Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington DC while the streets were still empty to record a beautiful skating routine. It was dawn and Saunders, a figure skater with Diversify Ice, strapped on her roller blades to perform her own choreography. Her song of

You know that awkward feeling when someone references a TV show or person you don’t know but you smile and nod along because you want to seem in the loop? Yeah, that totally human experience happens in fitness too. Especially around relatively obscure terms like VO2 max, which you may have overheard in a locker

Although I consider myself a fan of fall, I’ll admit, there’s nothing quite like summer weather. During warmer months, the first thing I do when I wake up during the summer is check that little blue weather app, praying for a clear day and a pleasant — not too hot — temperature. On days like

High school is challenging for just about everyone, but my worries went beyond typical stresses like braces and breakouts. When I was about 15 years old, I began to develop severe acne on my face and back. Then one day while I was swimming with friends, one of them pointed out the “beard” on my

As summer approaches and stay-at-home orders are slowly being lifted in parts of the country, many people are understandably anxious to get outside to enjoy the fresh air and warm weather. But the spread of the novel coronavirus is far from over, and it’s crucial to remain vigilant and educated in order to keep ourselves

Two facts you’ll learn while watching the ESPN docuseries The Last Dance, now airing on ABC: Scottie Pippen was an invaluable member of the six-time champion Chicago Bulls, and he was also underpaid. But while his contract with the Bulls prevented him from making what he and his teammates felt he deserved, his career earnings

When I think of walking for cardio, I picture Jane Fonda-vibes outfits (hello, brightly-coloured, high-cut spandex and sweatbands), wrist and ankle weights, and wildly pumping arms. And then I shrug it off. I mean, cardio has to be high-exertion and super sweaty, right? Or is walking cardio after all? First, let me clarify: Cardio—short for

Paris Alexandra and Alicia Ferguson, the founders of New York City’s inclusive, body-positive BK Yoga Club, first met in yoga teacher training. For both, it was an important stop on their wellness journeys. Ferguson originally saw yoga as a once-in-while escape from a crowded apartment and a hectic college life, but fully recommitted to it

When you think of sculpting your arms or building strong legs, you probably think about bodyweight moves like pushups and equipment like dumbbells and resistance bands. Do you have to swap the sidewalk for the weight room, though — or does running build muscle, too? Though most people categorize running as cardiovascular exercise, that doesn’t mean you can’t do more than boost
