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.

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

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

Last year I moved from Los Angeles to Michigan. Even though I was born and raised in the Great Lakes State, I found the transition to be harder than I anticipated.
