Winning a gold medal at the Olympics is the pinnacle of an athlete’s career. But if you’ve ever wondered if that treasured gold medal is actually made of gold, you’re not alone. Plus, if they are made of gold, how much are the medals worth? According to the NBC Olympics Page, there have been 5,084

While abs and glutes workouts may get a bit more attention on social media these days, it’s equally important to show your upper body some love.

I’ll take a selfie for a lot of reasons, from a shiny hair day to a chance get a shot with a cute dog. Nice moments, for sure — but not necessarily the most memorable times in my life. But you know what is indisputably selfie-worthy? The moment you win a medal at the Olympics.

Simone Biles truly seems to defy physics at times. One example is back in 2019, when Biles became the first female gymnast to perform a huge triple-double in her floor routine. Another is Biles’s famous Yurchenko double pike, which she first debuted in 2021 and she brought out again this week during a podium training

It’s never been a debate on whether or not breakdancers are incredible athletes, but their craft is finally recognized as an Olympic sport. Officially known as breaking, the hip-hop subculture is heading for the upcoming summer 2024 Games in Paris, so it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the common breakdancing moves. First, a little history lesson.

There’s a lot we get wrong about intrusive thoughts. Although they’re sometimes mistaken as unusual ideas or embarrassing opinions, intrusive thoughts are more than unconventional — they’re completely unwanted. Rather than normal anxiety about school, finances, or relationships, these thoughts are disturbing, unsettling, and can cause significant distress (the idea that you may lose a

You’ll probably see a few of them at the upcoming 2024 Olympics. One ritual that’s sure to make an appearance:

With warm and empowering messaging, instructor Mercedes Owens leads this 30-minute glutes session with tons of laughs, all while putting in the work. “Everything doesn’t have to be pretty or perfect. Sometimes you have to trek through the mud, get dirty, and walk away from things stronger,” she tells the class during the lower-body burn.

“Push through the shakes.” It’s a familiar refrain in Pilates, barre class, and other low-impact workouts.

The 2024 Olympics are right around the corner — something Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad would typically be celebrating.
