Meditation has been a part of my life in different ways for the last few years. Most recently, it has been a way for me to handle stress, sleep better, and help counterbalance the physical training I put my body through. But there’s a part of meditation that has always confounded me that may surprise

I’m always concerned with how my teeth look when I should be paying more attention to my gums for insight into my general dental health. If your gums are swelling, bleeding, discolored (think red, blue, or dark red instead of pink!), receding, or have changed from a firm to spongy texture— these are all signs

Slowly but surely, this runner has learned the value of strength training. I’ve learned to embrace curls, rows, and squats just as much as my morning runs during this year of home workouts. What’s more, I’ve collected a few more training-specific accessories along the way. My UA HOVR™ Rise 2 Training Shoes ($100), hand weights,

Have you ever walked into your favorite fitness store, looking to pick up a pair of incredible leggings, but ended up leaving wanting everything in sight? Well . . . same. We love gear, but it doesn’t always come cheap; that’s why we often hold off on buying our favorites and wait to add them

I first realized I needed to make a change in my life while I was waiting for my ice cream to soften in the microwave. I know many people will have feelings about that — but this isn’t about my habit of microwaving ice cream. This story is about the fact that, while I was

Eating a healthy lunch? Check. Exercise? Check. Drinking more water, finding some quiet time to yourself, going to be early? Eh, those feel-good habits are a little harder to keep top of mind. While New Year’s resolutions will likely look a little different this year — who else put “travel more” at the top of

If you’re interested in a clear aligner treatment like Invisalign because it’s a discreet and removable alternative to the traditional metal braces you had in high school, you’re not wrong. Those are two very valid pros to the dental treatment. There’s a lot more to clear aligners than the aesthetics, though, like the importance of

If you have 15 minutes to spare, congratulations: that’s just enough time to sneak in this 10-move HIIT workout from Jeanette Jenkins, creator of The Hollywood Trainer Club, and former NFL star DeMarcus Ware.

Buying activewear can get expensive. Considering that we need enough leggings to get through our weekly workouts as well as our Netflix-sessions (they’re really comfortable!), shopping for workout gear can really run up your credit card bill.

While feeling sore after a challenging (or new) workout is totally normal, it’s important to note that not all types of aches and pains are just byproducts of your bod’s natural healing process. One common place this comes into play is with an IT band injury. What is the IT band, exactly? Here’s everything you need to

Before the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) revealed that they planned their 2019 World Cup training (they won, btw!) around players’ periods, the topic of how fluctuating hormones could potentially impact workouts wasn’t talked about much, er, at all. But when you think about it, the idea makes so much sense that it’s shocking it’s

Remember the beginning of lockdown, when we were all posting #homeworkout selfies with dogs and kids providing raucous comic relief? Or that first weekend of Level 4, when we donned masks and hit the streets in a glorious celebration of freedom? Personally, I thought I was going to emerge from lockdown like an action hero

Here’s the thing about working out at home. When you’re at the gym, you’re in a controlled environment. The flooring has been specifically selected with exercise in mind. The only obstacles in your path are the weights you didn’t pack away (tsk, tsk). But at home you may find the terrain less than ideal. Were

By now, you probably know that cardio training is something you should be doing on the regular. Experts recommend getting in at least 150 minutes a week of moderate cardio exercise (or 75 minutes of more vigorous cardio). But if you find yourself wondering: What is cardio, exactly? As in, which workouts will get your blood

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world and turned the way we do things on its head. We’ve had to adjust to a new way of living. But that doesn’t mean we have to give up on our passions – we just need to find different ways to pursue them. That’s why Nedbank has created

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.

Although many of us will have much different-looking holidays this season, some of us will still be hitting the road. If you’ve opted to avoid plane travel and a road trip is on your calendar, it’s important to remember the effects sitting for long periods of time can have on the body. “Muscles get tight

On Dec. 18, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received her first dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, as Congress members became eligible for the shots under government continuity guidelines.

Among the many things that changed in 2020, people’s exercise routines looked a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, many athletic competitions, like races, were cancelled this year. But according to Strava’s annual Year in Sport Data Report, that didn’t stop users of the fitness app from tackling their wellness goals. Hundreds of

When it comes to shopping for workout leggings, fit is very important to me. Pants need to be the right length, have just the right amount of compression, and be mid- to high-waisted because that offers me the most amount of comfort. While shopping Old Navy’s big fitness sale recently I decided to give its
