If this is the year you made a commitment to yourself to exercise more, here’s some instant inspiration for

Systemic racism has embedded itself deeply in the sports world, and figure skating is no exception.

Ask any woman who works out about sports bras, and be prepared for a short monologue about her favorite brand or a horror story about the one that broke mid-sprint. People are passionate when it comes to sports bras because they’re the most critical piece of our workout wardrobe. We just can’t move without them.

“I couldn’t help but wonder, if it was my kind storming the Capitol, what would have been the outcome?” LeBron speaks about yesterday’s events in Washington, D.C. pic.twitter.com/iiy6MM3iMS — NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) January 8, 2021 One of the most disturbing parts (and there were many) of Wednesday’s pro-Trump riot at the Capitol was just

Sitting down to meditate can be daunting, and Headspace cofounder and former monk Andy Puddicombe knows that there are many misconceptions about the practice. One of which — and the biggest, he said — is that in order to meditate, you have to clear your mind. That, Puddicombe told POPSUGAR, is not the point of

Any runner knows that when you find the right shoes, you’re halfway to a great workout. If you’ve been searching for the perfect pair to help you crush your fitness goals, look no further.

Workouts probably look a little different these days as it’s been several months since most of us jostled for a spot in a group (indoor) fitness class. But, whether you’ve already stocked an at-home gym and bookmarked online alternatives, or if your exercise only involves running errands, we’ve got you covered. Even if no one

When you think of meditation, you might picture people sitting cross-legged on the floor, breathing deeply with their eyes closed and their minds empty. While some meditation is practiced this way, the Headspace app has made it a mission to demystify this ancient practice and make it accessible to everyone. Now, the Netflix series Headspace

As a yoga teacher, Adriene Mishler knows how to make the practice accessible to all levels, and Breath, her 30-day challenge (or journey, rather) that started in 2021, is no exception.

Most of us have only recently gotten to know Anthony Fauci, MD, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and the nation’s foremost expert on COVID-19. But Dr. Fauci’s expertise on infectious diseases dates back to the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, a health crisis that, he explained in an

Anyone else living in leggings? Even if workouts are only happening, say, once a week, there’s just something about the form-fitting pants that make them a sweet around-the-house or around-town option, too. But, not only is it hard to judge between what seems like millions of black pairs, it’s also important to consider what amount

We’re excited to take on the mountains and go skiing this year. Different slopes have adapted to social distancing measures, and it couldn’t be easier to wear a mask when skiing; it’s already freezing outside! If you live near a mountain, there are so many cute ski outfits to choose from. Whether you’re a black

Many newbie runners give up on running because within a mile, their legs are on fire and they’re breathing so hard they feel like they’re a huff and a puff away from passing out. Don’t expect to be able to run five miles right from the get-go — it takes time to build endurance, but

Charcuterie boards have gotten mega-creative (featuring pancakes, hot chocolate ingredients, and sweet holiday treats), and keto charcuterie boards are the latest theme that we’re loving. With the keto diet’s focus on healthy fats like nuts, cheese, and meat like pork and beef, keto-themed charcuterie boards don’t look too different from the traditional meat, cheese, and

You know French fries aren’t the healthiest food you can eat because they’re deep fried in oil, but you still want them!
