As a registered dietitian, I’m constantly trying to sneak in nutrition wherever I can, without giving up the flavors I love. So, while I try to limit sugar in my diet, I still need something to cook with, bake with, and use as a condiment when I’m craving something sweet. In my home, that’s pure

Spoiler alert: There is no fast track to a six-pack or muscle definition in your midsection. But fear not, that’s not to say you should cross it off your list of fitness goals at together.

Recently, I had a spa day at California-based chain Burke Williams — and it wasn’t your typical “lemon water, massage, sauna, and go” kind of day. The spa had recently added certain medspa treatments to the lineup, and as the true investigative health journalist that I am (all about trying IV drip therapy or crystal

I thought it was just your normal, average, post-race soreness. I’ve run nine half-marathons (give or take) and my feet usually hurt for a few days afterwards.

With adults typically

We’ve long been fans of kickboxing workouts. They’re high-intensity and, frankly, a lot of fun.

Two weeks into the new year, the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA), the current union for women in basketball, announced that they had reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The eight-year deal will, after ratification by the league’s Board of Governors, commence with the start of the 2020 season and

So, awkward question… How are those New Year’s resolutions coming along? If your answer is somewhere between “not so great” and “distant memory”, you’re not alone. According to U.S. News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. And with the year that was January finally behind us, the clock is ticking.

You started running months ago, yet every time you hop on the scale, you’re let down by the results. What gives?

Will you be tuning in to watch the Super Bowl this year? If so, you might want to avoid the pitfalls of typical pigskin party fare. Chips and dip, pizza, loaded nachos, wings, and beer can pack in around 2,500 calories — more energy than you need in an entire day. You’d have to jog

One of the first exercises I did when I started CrossFit was this move called an AbMat sit-up, named after the mat you place under your lower back for support. I couldn’t believe how sore I was for days after, and I only did about 30 reps! In this variation of a sit-up, your legs
