For most of us, the day looks something like this: wake up in the morning, make some coffee, rush out the door or get right to work at home, then spend the evening with family or friends or catching up on everything you couldn’t do during the day. Among all of the hustle and bustle,
Simone Biles is the greatest athlete in women’s gymnastics, no questions asked. Can you guess who the most decorated gymnast, period, is in World Championship history? Yeah, it’s her, too. On June 4, the first night of the 2021 US Gymnastics Championships for senior-level women, the 24-year-old came out to flip and twist in a
Restful nights of sleep can be few and far between.

Elite gymnast Jade Carey has mathematically qualified for the Tokyo Olympics as an individual — when we spoke with her last fall, she said she was excited about the opportunity but is still set on heading to the Olympic trials, where spots on Team USA’s four-person squad will be up for grabs as well.

Divorce is fairly common in the United States; approximately 50% of marriages end in a breakup.

When I was in elementary school, every student had to take a yearly Presidential Fitness Test consisting of running a mile, and doing shuttle sprints, pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, and toe reaches. Each year, I flawlessly excelled in each test except touching my toes. I’ve never been able to touch my toes. Because of this, I

Hearing a smoke detector or my kid calling me from downstairs in the middle of the night is essential, and I’m obviously thankful I get woken up.

June is Pride Month, and we’re more than ready to celebrate love, acceptance, and individual expression.

There is so much potential for sports to unite us — you can see it after a home run drops over the fence, or a last-minute goal hits the back of the net, or a marathon finish line is crossed — but the truth is that athletic institutions and communities have long fallen short when

Like many people during the pandemic, I spent the last year mostly inside with no gym access, my everyday routine turned upside down, and relying on emotional eating and drinking to get me through what was the most anxiety-inducing time of my life.

When COVID began in spring 2020, I had been trying to lose the last five pounds my body had been holding on to since my son was born eight years earlier. I was hitting 5:45 a.m. CrossFit classes five days a week, doing intermittent fasting to control my daily calorie intake, and I had been
I’ve been loving eating veggies for breakfast. I’m serious! Ever since I learned about calorie density and started following the Starch Solution, my tastebuds have changed and I crave them in the morning.

As much as I love watching Olympic diving, I’ve never understood why athletes scurry off to the showers and then proceed to chill in a hot tub after each dive. They’re already wet. They’re only in the pool for a handful of seconds, so it’s not like they need to get cleaned up. And doesn’t
