@sedonerrr WE GOT A NEW WEIGHT ROOM #ncaawbb #athlete ♬ original sound – Sedona Prince Following backlash, the NCAA updated its women’s weight room for March Madness athletes.

If you woke up today, feeling the way you always do, then it’s time to shake it up and have some fun with this Hairspray dance workout from YouTuber Emily Thorne (aka Emkfit). This 20-minute video feels more like a dance party than a cardio workout. You’ll do bursts of high-intensity dancing followed by periods

Your mama was right when she told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why? Skipping breakfast is linked to a slew of not-so-great outcomes, like an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. And if you’re trying to manage your weight, breakfast can also help you on your

It’s a tale as old as time: a few days after your period began, the bleeding suddenly stops. Throwing caution to the wind, you throw on your cutest undies — but of course, then the bleeding comes back, stronger and heavier than before. What gives? Turns out, this stop-and-go flow isn’t unusual. To understand why,

Working out is great for our physical health — strength training and cardio, for example, can help improve your metabolism — as well as our mental health. HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is effective for burning fat, making an ideal workout for weight loss, and if you’re focused on booty gains, sprints and inclines on the

A year after the COVID-19 pandemic began, we’re starting to see a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. The vaccines began rolling out in December in phases, with groups like healthcare workers, the elderly, and people with high-risk conditions qualifying first. So far, only 12 percent of the US population has been fully

With more than a year into the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown measures on and off across the country, it’s easy to feel discouraged and like we will never see the end of this stressful time. However, Anthony Fauci, MD, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and the nation’s foremost

If you’re obsessed with sweating it out to a Peloton workout, you can now sweat while wearing some cool new Peloton merch. And not just any new merch: the fitness platform has teamed up with Adidas to launch a collection of performance workout clothes and lifestyle pieces for rest days (aka Netflix marathons). What’s even

If you’re trying to eat healthier but you still want dessert, bake a batch of these banana blueberry muffins. They’re made without refined sugar and sweetened naturally with ripe banana, applesauce, blueberries, and dates. They’re also a delicious way to eat more greens because spinach is pureed into the batter. If you’re vegan, gluten-free, and

Whether you love them or hate them, squats are a staple in most workout routines, and for good reason. But their booty-boosting abilities sometimes come with a side of knee pain that can prevent you from meeting your goals. POPSUGAR spoke to two experts to understand why your knees just never seem to be up

To be fair, my ob-gyn at the time was very honest and clear about possible side effects associated with a copper IUD — potentially heavier and longer periods, cramping, and spotting for the first few months after insertion. Because I had always complained of cramps, my doctor suggested I consider a hormonal IUD, something that

In April 2020, about a month after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the country into lockdown, I developed symptoms consistent with some type of stomach issue. I completely lost my appetite, and when I could eat, I was met with extreme bloating and discomfort, mostly on the left side. Food made me exhausted, and the mere

If you get any of the COVID-19 vaccines now authorized for emergency use in the US, you may have side effects (and more so after the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna shots as opposed to the first). The symptoms, which are generally short-lived and last a day or two, may include headache, fatigue,

Now that you’ve bought an at-home Peloton bike, you get to splurge on all the accessories — the most important being a pair of Peloton-friendly shoes that match the bike’s tread dimensions. Before you start shoe shopping, though, it’s crucial to research what shoes are and aren’t compatible with your bike. If you’ve previously taken

When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit last March, and gyms and fitness studios began closing at a rapid pace, it seemed like everyone I knew was purchasing a Peloton bike. Eventually, I joined them, but not until December when I finally took the plunge and decided to visit a Peloton store. I checked out the

We teamed up with Under Armour to help women everywhere tap into their unbeatable confidence. Setting out to achieve anything in life (fitness milestones or achievements especially) isn’t a fingers-crossed situation.

We’re very much of the belief that when you look good, you feel good, which is why we love cute workout clothes.

Jordan discusses his relationship with Lori Harvey, his duty as a Black man in Hollywood, and his new film Without

People are often surprised when I call myself “disabled.” Over the years, society has shifted toward person-first language (i.e. person with a disability) to describe disability. However, many people within the disabled community prefer identity-first language (i.e. disabled person). Much of this confusion comes from the unconscious but prevalent understanding of disability as inherently negative.
