If you find yourself working from home these days, it can be tempting to show up to your 9 a.m. meeting in your favorite leggings and sweatshirt. Although I won’t pass judgment on this (this editor has done it plenty of times), I will say that if there’s one piece of clothing that I don’t

On Nov. 30, Moderna announced it will submit a request to the US Food and Drug Administration as well as the European Medicines Agency to authorize its coronavirus vaccine for emergency use. The request came Monday after Moderna shared data showing that its vaccine is 94.1 percent effective and that its study of 30,000 people

College football history has been made! On Nov. 28, Vanderbilt University senior Sarah Fuller became the first woman to play in a Power Five game as the Commodores took on the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. Fuller’s barrier-breaking moment came at the beginning of the second half when she took the field as a

I know just as well as anyone the pains of outdoor workouts during winter — the internal battle of wanting to go outside and get fresh air mixed with the genuine fear of those bitter cold temperatures. For all those times when you just need to buck up and face the elements, make sure you’re

This year has been a roller coaster, and for many of us, health and fitness has been a great release. With those perfect black leggings getting more use than that little black dress (LBD), we don’t have to wait until next year for a whole new fitness wardrobe to go along with new resolutions! With

Every December, I begin my holiday kitchen residency — a month spent living between my kitchen island and stove, creating everything from gingerbread cookies to peppermint bark to spiked eggnog. I’ve even dedicated a Christmas playlist and apron to the occasion. Despite my excitement, my stomach doesn’t find this to be the most wonderful month

By now, working out at home isn’t anything new for many of us. Learning how to get by with minimal equipment, how to work out so the neighbors won’t hear, and how to utilize what we have at our disposal is all old hat. But one that we can almost never prepare for is how

Stair workouts aren’t just about running up and down dozens of flights until your legs melt. Sure, that’s certainly an option, but you can also save your joints while working cardio and strength, at the same time, using just a couple steps and a few simple moves. For that, we turn to Jennifer Nagel, ACE-certified

If you’re getting tired of the same old home workouts, allow us to hit refresh for you. We’re continuing our series of live Instagram and YouTube workouts this week with three new routines, and they’re the kind that’ll have you sweating and panting by the last rep. Check out the full schedule below, and add

Even though my drawers are stacked with tons of workout clothes, I find myself turning to the same couple of pieces again and again. A few of my favorite finds are from Old Navy because the brand’s quality continues to blow me away. Years ago, I purchased a pair of leggings from the retailer on

As an athlete, sleep is one of the most important parts of my training routine. But it’s not always one of the easiest to come by for me, and I often find myself struggling to get enough meaningful shut-eye each night. Until recently, it’s been something I’ve learned to deal with. I’ve just assumed I’m

Either a beauty influencer or a professional

✨wear your mask✨ pic.twitter.com/oScQbb37kB — morgan hurd (@morgihurd) November 16, 2020 Wearing a mask may be uncomfortable in certain situations, that’s true. But another truth is that face masks can help protect you and others from COVID-19. That being said, senior United States national team gymnast Morgan Hurd demonstrated an important message: if she can

Image Source: Getty / Scott Olson / Staff I remember sending a note to my manager over Slack: “So, about the coronavirus, maybe we should cover it.” It was late January, and the CDC had just issued a travel advisory in an effort to contain what still felt like a distant threat out of Wuhan,

If you get bored during “traditional” cardio (running, walking, biking, endless hours on the elliptical), we’re insisting you try dance cardio. Choose your music and your routine right, and you’re basically guaranteed to have a great time. And take it from us: you really can’t go wrong with a Latin dance workout. Some routines teach

Remembering to take care of yourself can often be the last thing on anyone’s to-do list. Whether you’ve worn the same sweatpants three days in a row or can’t help but get an anxious feeling whenever you go to unlock your phone, you might not be feeling yourself these days, and that’s OK. According to

My workout routine has changed quite a bit this year, but I look at it all through a positive lens: I’ve been able to focus my workouts and expand into so many buckets, from strength, to endurance, and flexibility. Likewise, I’ve been buying workout gear that’s well positioned for those workouts. When I go on

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that 2020 hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people and their loved ones, and many who have been spared from contracting the virus are coping with social isolation and financial difficulties. Even if you don’t have

I’m fully aware that my love affair with running isn’t for everyone. To put it in more digestible terms: the way the internet talks about Timothée Chalamet is how I talk about running. For the most part, my friends are pretty on board with my running ruminations. The one thing I often find that no

We’re down for yoga at any time of day, but there’s something about a morning flow that just feels so good. If you wake up stressed and anxious, it can calm you down for the day; if you’re groggy and unmotivated, it gets your blood moving and helps you focus. If your mornings look anything

No, your heartbeat hasn’t reached your teeth — that throbbing sensation could be a sign of an infection. “Throbbing teeth may be caused by an infection in a tooth or the gums around the teeth. Infections in teeth are caused by deep decay, broken teeth, or past trauma to the teeth,” Dr. Elizabeth Cranford Robinson,

I’ve always bit off more than I can chew when it comes to meditation. It was originally recommended to me years ago by my therapist, who thought practicing on a regular basis would help me manage some of my anxieties. But, instead of easing into the routine, I challenged myself to 15- to 20-minute classes

Sometimes, going hard just isn’t the right move. It’s totally OK to step back for a moment to listen to your body and take things a little easier — in fact, we’re big fans of living life low key. So in that spirit, we rounded up all the different ways to channel those chill vibes

Soccer fans have gotten used to seeing Alex Morgan in one of two uniforms: the red, white, and blue of the US national team, or the bright purple of the NWSL’s Orlando Pride. But in September, Morgan announced she’d be adding a new jersey to her collection, and for the first time in her career,

Back in October, I brought you a three-minute plank series that my boyfriend does at fire academy during some of his training sessions. I like it for two reasons: it doesn’t use any equipment and it includes exercises I’m familiar with. At the same time, though, it’s more challenging than you’d expect. That’s why I’m

Whether you have limited space for plyometrics and calisthenics, or you’re trying to be a little kinder to your joints (hello, knees!), there are some easy substitutions you can make to classic high-impact cardio exercises. To get the best modifications, we talked to two low-impact experts. “Just because these moves are low-impact doesn’t mean you

Maybe it’s the throbbing jaw pain that clued you in, or perhaps it was your dentist who noticed worn enamel or even flattened teeth. Either way, you’re grinding your teeth, and now you need to figure out how to stop. Turns out, a mouth guard is not the only option. While the tool can help,

When my Peloton arrived, I couldn’t wait to hop in the saddle and ride out all of my pent-up cardio energy. I immediately dove into all the HIIT, intervals, and Tabata-based classes that popped up onto my homepage, with a goal of ending the workout completely drenched in sweat — and that I was. I

My new apartment is precisely five doors down from a restaurant with the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. I’m so obsessed with the dish that I’ve started filling my pantry with tea bags — hot tea and good TV is my mom’s go-to remedy for bloating after a big meal. I always thought

It’s not always easy to get into a yoga flow when you’re feeling stressed. In fact, if you’re overwhelmed and anxious, it might feel like the last thing you want to do. But if there’s one thing we know about yoga, it’s that you should never underestimate its power for relieving worries and creating calm.
