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.

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
So how can diversity and inclusion become the standard rather than the outlier when it comes to sports? “If institutions don’t provide mandatory training to staff, we can’t expect them to show up knowing how to address systemic racism or the harm student athletes experience as a result of being stigmatized,” Caple said. “There also
June is Pride Month, and we’re more than ready to celebrate love, acceptance, and individual expression.

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. So it was no surprise that I put on nearly 20 pounds

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. They’re low in calories and high in fiber so they’re perfect for weight loss. For the past two months I’ve been adding
When it comes to losing weight, consistency is key — and often, that means finding the simplest, most convenient, and most affordable workout possible, so you have no trouble sticking to the plan.

If you have a vagina, you may have heard that wiping from front-to-back is the best technique when cleaning up after using the bathroom. It might even be something you’ve practiced for as long as you’ve been sitting on the toilet. Wiping from front-to-back helps keep you and your vagina healthy. According to Tamika K.
You don’t always have to lose a loved one to grieve, proven by all types of loss experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe you’ve lost your job, sense of identity, or purpose.

A large Oxford study involving more than 230,000 patient health records shows that one-third of people who’ve survived COVID-19 are given a neurological or psychiatric diagnosis within six months.

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
Image Source: Getty / Mark Sagliocco May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and after more than a year of navigating one stressful situation after the next, it’s important to have candid conversations about managing our mental health.

Before taking our mark and then diving off the block, swimmers — much like other athletes — have a pre-race mental check list we run through to ensure we’re really ready to compete. Swimming caps on and goggles secured? Check. Starting block dry, locked, and ready to go? Double check! Lastly, as anyone who’s ever
Menstrual cycles don’t just disappear when you’re at work, yet I’d be lying if I said I’ve never hid a tampon up my sleeve while walking to the bathroom or underestimated just how bad my cramps were making me feel (probably by just saying I had a “stomachache”) at one point in my career. It’s
Water polo is just one of several water-based sports that will be played in Tokyo at the upcoming Summer Olympics. The soccer-esque sport requires athletes to be strong swimmers, handle a ball well, and work together as a team. There’s one rule, however, that makes water polo even more difficult than it appears on the
We love the Sweat app for the heart-pumping, sweat-inducing HIIT workouts it offers. But the high-impact moves like burpees and jump squats aren’t for everyone, especially if you have joint pain or live in an apartment and can’t jump around. Luckily, new Sweat trainer Samantha Ortiz-Young has a low-impact HIIT program for the app as
