My neck had gotten so stiff a few months ago that I was grimacing in pain just from tipping my head to one side or twisting around. All the neck stretches and foam-rolling in the world wasn’t making a lasting difference. I mentioned this to my doctor a few months ago, and she gave me

There are plenty of people in the world who love adding some color to their workout wardrobe, and then there are the rest of us. Wearing all black to work out is a lifestyle choice, and we genuinely can’t imagine putting on anything else. Black makes us feel strong, powerful, and ready to take on

Gallon-size water bottles are all over TikTok and Instagram, with fitness influencers and regular users alike relying on them to reach their hydration goals. It seems weird at first — these water bottles are seriously huge! — but when you think about it, they make so much sense. There’s no rationing your water while you

From hospitality to hair salons, many industries have been hit hard by the pandemic. But I would argue that the industry most negatively affected — the industry that seems to be the lowest priority in terms of support from governments around the world — is the arts, and more specifically, dance.

The COVID-19 vaccine feels like the light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel, but while getting the vaccine yourself is the first step in regaining some sense of normalcy, it’s going to be a while before we can go back to business as usual. People who have been vaccinated should still wear

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or gain weight — or even stay exactly the same — stepping on the scale is probably a regular part of your routine. But it’s not as simple as putting both feet on the scale, reading the number, and moving on. The timing of those check-ins can actually make

Multimarathoner and run-club member Maggie Wade hasn’t always felt as strong and as confident as she does now. While Maggie’s been a dancer her entire life, it was running that finally made her feel comfortable in her own skin and proud of who she is. Joining a run club in LA reminded her that she’s

Pole dancing isn’t just an incredibly fun and confidence-building activity, it’s also hard work! I mean, if you’ve ever tried to hold yourself up on a pole — let alone twirl your body around it — then you know how challenging pole dancing can be. Thankfully, that difficulty is also what makes it such a

The statistics are loud and clear: 42 percent of all participants in high school and college sports are women, and women make up 40 percent of athletes on the professional level, yet, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, they only receive four percent of all sports media coverage. Togethxr, a new

No dumbbells? Not a problem with this quick strength-training workout from Peloton trainer Jess Sims, which swaps in a full backpack for moves usually done with dumbbells or kettlebells. “I can’t help myself — once a teacher, always a teacher,” Sims wrote on Instagram, and we’re not mad about it! There are just four moves

Please welcome Laurie Hernandez back to the floor! After a four-and-a-half-year hiatus, the 20-year-old Olympian made an exciting return to competitive gymnastics on Feb. 27 for the 2021 Winter Cup. Her Hamilton-inspired routine was a show of her strength, proving like Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote, she is inimitable and an original. Hernandez stepped back from the

One of my favorite parts about the Peloton is that whenever I’m sick of cycling, I can roll it away and switch up my workout with one of Kristin McGee’s yoga classes. But there’s nothing worse than being in the middle of a killer leg lift and having to strain my neck to see what

Noom is a popular diet plan that aims to help people not only lose weight but also develop a healthier relationship with food and sustain lifelong habits.

As a Peloton member since the spring of 2019, I have nothing but praise for the brand; though I don’t own a Peloton Bike or Tread, I subscribe monthly to the app for live and on-demand classes. I recommend it highly, and I’m here to fill users in on a promotion that applies to healthcare

When my cat scratched up my Peloton bike mat, I figured it wouldn’t make much of a difference if I just got rid of it entirely. Boy was I wrong — between the cycling shoes making scuff marks on the floor, my gross sweat forming a slippery puddle around me, and worse, the bike wobbling

Collegiate floor routines are a treat to watch. Aside from the impressive tumbling, leaps, and jumps, the performances — the right performances — are full of expression, fierceness, and grace all the same. They are even more exciting when they’re set to hit songs we know and love. It’s kind of like being awe-stricken by

Cardio and strength training are an important part of any workout plan, but recovery is essential — and stretching is too often the first thing we let slide. “You should be doing mobility exercises five to seven days of the week,” explained Le Sweat founder Charlee Atkins, CSCS, who created this stretching sequence for POPSUGAR’s

“Oh, wow, Cheyenne! You look just like Lizzo,” my classmate exclaimed as she adjusted her glasses. With a wry smile and folded hands, I agreed, knowing my confirmation of her “compliment” would get her out of my face. I wrote it off as an isolated incident and continued about my day.

UCLA gymnast Margzetta Frazier recently received the surprise call of a lifetime.
