While you can knock out quite a few ab moves using no equipment at all, when I’m really trying to increase my core strength, I like to reach for some weight. Turns out, there’s a lot of weighted ab moves you can do besides the usual ones (looking at you, Russian twists) if you’re looking

I believe in science. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, I told myself I would get vaccinated as soon a shot was approved and available. I did just that in March 2021 when I got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, followed by the second dose three weeks later. As the science

Running outside can be delightful when the conditions are perfect. But if you’re trying to make running a daily habit, chances are you’ll find yourself on the treadmill at some point. After all, it’s only a matter of time before it gets far too hot or cold — or rainy or snowy — for you

The best dance cardio classes always have high-energy music, motivating instructors, and easy-to-follow moves — because no one wants to be lost or uninspired amid all the fun. Twins Danielle and Dominique Gillyard, founders of and8 Fitness, check all of these boxes. Their latest session shared on YouTube (and seen above) adds one more element

Super adventurous would never be two words that describe me. Skydiving will never be on my bucket list, and I never use hot sauce on my food — ever! But in the name of my physical and mental health, I’m into trying just about anything. I tried CrossFit for a year, and I also committed

Content warning: This post discusses eating disorders and mentions child abuse. “I don’t think I even realized how intense it was,” Jennette McCurdy recently told People in a forthright interview about her experience with eating disorders. The 29-year-old actress, who portrayed Sam Puckett in iCarly and its subsequent spinoff Sam & Cat, said she struggled

Simone Biles’s Gold Over America Tour features a strong lineup of world-class gymnasts. And prior to the group’s Minneapolis, MN, tour stop on Oct. 13, some of them completed a 10-minute conditioning workout (because elite athletes obviously work out before they perform!). Olympic floor gold medalist Jade Carey and Olympic team silver medalist Grace McCallum

The word “colonoscopy” has always been one I have dreaded hearing. At 14, I was diagnosed by a gastroenterologist with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which causes stomach pain and other intestinal symptoms, like bloating and diarrhea. These symptoms tend to happen at the same time, which causes a lot of discomfort. When I was diagnosed

We often think of soup as a food you eat when you’re feeling under the weather — but with the right ingredients, a comforting bowl of soup can help support the immune system and keep you from getting sick in the first place. From antioxidant-rich veggies to proteins packed with zinc, there are a ton

Olympic figure skater Maia Shibutani really is an inspiration — in more ways than one! At the 2018 Olympics, she took home the bronze in ice dance alongside her brother Alex, continuing a streak of American ice dance teams who have stood atop the Olympic podium since 2006. Although she hasn’t competed since then, she

Have you ever noticed fabric discoloration in the crotch of a clean pair of your underwear? The gusset — which just so happens to be the area of your undies that vaginal discharge typically touches or dries on to — might have even looked like it had been bleached or lightened. So, to find out

For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized an e-cigarette to be sold in the US. The FDA announced today that the Vuse Solo, made by the R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company, will be allowed to sell and market its e-liquid pods in the tobacco flavor only — the company’s other flavored

I consider myself a YouTube workout connoisseur. When I’m test-driving a new routine, the first place I go is the YouTube comment section. People get real honest down there. When a workout is good, you can tell by how excited and passionate the commenters become. While I was browsing around for new cardio workouts, these

My mind feels like it never shuts off. So much so that I’ll bolt wide awake around 3 a.m. with thoughts of what I have planned for the next day. In craving a night of solid sleep, I was intrigued by the possibility that CBD could give me a night (or more) of complete rest.

After an exciting series of competitions at the Tokyo Olympics, the 2021 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships (Worlds) kick off next week and will span from Oct. 18 to Oct 24 in Kitakyushu, Japan. Worlds is held annually during non-Olympic years (with an exception this time around due to COVID), and gymnasts will only vie for

Arm day is one of my favorites because flexing my biceps, straining my triceps, and lifting my whole body off the floor during push-ups makes me feel so strong. Those focused, arm-toning workouts — you know, the kind that makes it impossible to wash your hair or reach for that top-shelf glass afterward? — feel

It’s been almost two years since a major marathon took place in the United States, but the wait is officially over. Ruth Chepngetich won the Chicago Marathon on Sunday and fellow Kenyan Diana Kipyogei (making her major-marathon debut!) came in first in the Boston Marathon on Monday, as the two iconic races went back-to-back to
