While some people have an emotional-support water bottle, I have what I like to call an emotional-support blanket. Not to be confused with a “blankie” gifted at childhood, my emotional-support blanket isn’t just one singular blanket I carry around everywhere. Instead, it’s any blanket that I can get my hands on. It doesn’t matter if

Alison Brie is starting 2023 off strong — literally. The “Roar” actress hit a set of chin-ups to celebrate the new year, and it looks like her famous friends are as impressed as we are. “Happy New Year from me, @risemovement, and my 11 . . . err 10 chin-ups 🤪,” Brie captioned the video,

In case you haven’t heard, it’s our Pilates Era — at least, according to TikTok, celebrities, and Google (the pop culture trifecta, if you will.) But if you’ve yet to become hooked on the practice, it’s not too late. In fact, you’re right on time. Alo Moves, the workout streaming platform created by beloved activewear

While there’s nothing quite like running outdoors, there are a few things to be said for a good treadmill workout: you can control your speed with precision, step off whenever you need a break, and log steps inside when the weather is poor, the roads are busy, or the trails are wet. If you’re just

Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2018, Selma Blair has become an advocate for people with chronic illness and disabilities, often while providing a vulnerable look into her own personal life and struggles. While she continues to manage symptoms of MS, a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, Blair has also

I’m not one to shy away from a good cry. I generally have a healthy relationship with crying; I even schedule a weekly cry session in order to better regulate my emotions. So why do I find it so inherently embarrassing to cry on an airplane? Maybe it’s because I’m in a closely confined space

While people tend to have mixed feelings about them, I’ll be the first to admit: I’m a big advocate of New Year’s resolutions. (Yes, even when I often struggle to follow through with them!) While I agree with the sentiment that we all have the power to change our lives any day of the year,

How does an actor prepare to accurately portray a werewolf on screen? By attending werewolf boot camp, obviously. Emma Myers did just that for her role as Enid Sinclair on “Wednesday,” and it sounds . . . weirdly fun? The 20-year-old star described the experience during a “Tonight Show” appearance on Jan. 4, telling host

The Peloton app has become the go-to home workout for a lot of people who can’t make it to the gym. Personally, Peloton has given me the means to sweat out my stress and get stronger at home, while offering a sense of comfort from its warrior trainers. Peloton’s instructors are some of the best

You can train all you want for a marathon, but race day will always test you in unexpected ways. That was the case for Claire Holt, who took on the 2022 New York City Marathon and found herself throwing her time goal out the window as the finish line drew near. “[My body] decided that

@lizzo FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK🍑 ♬ original sound – lizzo Lizzo is speaking out against TikTok’s unhealthy promotion of diet culture, fatphobia, and disordered eating. In a video shared on Jan. 6, the “About Damn Time” singer directly addressed negative comments from body shamers about her physical appearance. “The discourse around bodies is

“Abbott Elementary” star Tyler James Williams wanted to leave his “Everybody Hates Chris” body behind and “bulk up” — but it wasn’t that simple. “I was trying to read for roles that were my age and I couldn’t get out of high school,” because he was still gangly like a teenager, he tells Men’s Health.

The internet may be buzzing about her new romantic relationship, but Billie Eilish wants to talk about the one with herself. In conversation with Vogue for the magazine’s January 2023 cover story, the 21-year-old “Happier Than Ever” singer opened up about her connection with her body and how it’s changed over the years. “Going through

Gummy supplements are a little controversial. As reported by a former POPSUGAR contributor, they often contain added sugars and oftentimes don’t contain as many nutrients as they claim on the label. I’m fully aware of this, yet I’ll be honest: I love gummies. I know it would probably be more effective and nutritious to ingest

“You have to engage your core.” There’s an ongoing joke in my house that working your core will fix just about any issue. As a former Pilates instructor, this is my go-to fix-it line. Back pain? Engage your core. Knees hurt going downstairs? Engage your core. Trouble memorizing irregular Spanish verbs? Engage your core. The

Netflix’s latest hit, “Kaleidoscope,” has already made the top 10 list on the platform and generated tons of social media buzz. While many viewers are debating the order in which the episodes should be watched (“Yellow,” “Green,” “Violent,” “Orange,” “Blue,” “Red,” “Pink,” “White” is my favorite!), other fans have noticed a less-talked-about, but equally important,

As midnight chimes on Dec. 31, the ringing in of a new year gives us a chance to start afresh, set ourselves a list of goals, and go into 2023 with the best of intentions. While New Year’s resolutions are an annual tradition, there’s a high chance that, come February, you’ll feel downbeat that you

Strength training is an essential component of any workout regimen, especially if your goal is to get stronger. That doesn’t always mean picking up weights — for example, Pilates totally counts as strength training, as do bodyweight exercises and moves with resistance bands. However, if you’d like to up the intensity and really focus on

Adeola Heyman’s version of a deadlift doesn’t require a barbell: in pole dancing, the term is used to describe hoisting your entire body from a standing position to an inverted one while gripping a pole and only using your upper-body strength. It practically defies the laws of gravity, but that’s standard for Heyman, a 30-year-old

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was taken to the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest and being administered CPR on the field during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals last night. The 24-year-old is currently sedated and in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and awaits further testing and treatment, according to a

There they are again. The gross, crusty, five-day-old dishes sit piled up amid the confines of my small, stainless-steel sink. They’re making their presence known, clashing against the gleam of my very clean and crumb-free countertop. The tepid pile of plates, bowls, and cups, all stuck together, look like a gross Jenga tower. It seems

For years, I’ve slept in the same collection of black Soffe shorts and dingy college T-shirts that were likely shot out of a cannon at a basketball game or handed to me at a university-sponsored event. But a few years ago, my friend Shontell gifted me my first pajama set. I hadn’t worn matching sleepwear

YouTube workouts and I, we go way back. Back before I fell in love with the gym, I went to YouTube for workouts I could do in my garage or even my dorm room in college: mostly bodyweight routines that left me feeling sweaty, satisfied, and filled with endorphins. I come back to some of

I recently found a list tucked between the pages of an old journal, dated January 2020. I remembered writing it. A small group of friends and I had gathered in a busy coffee shop to discuss our goals for the year ahead and how we’d execute them — we called our little gathering “The Goals
