But as moves get more complex and creative, the names start getting more convoluted — and sometimes, don’t even exist. For example, celebrity trainer Ben Bruno, who comes up with his fair share of creative exercises, shared an

Image Source: Getty / Jeremy Moeller What do you expect two guys to talk about in a weight room? Jokes about skipping leg day, maybe, or even what a mutual friend on GymTok is up to. But sometimes, it goes much deeper than that. “Heartstopper” star Kit Connor and YouTuber Nathaniel Massiah linked up in

Get ready to sweat with fitness trainer Nikki Nie, who will be leading this 10-minute, mood-boosting barre workout joined by Leilani Terris and Cherie AbuMoussa. This routine is all about the mind-body connection. You’ll start with a quick warmup to shake off any tension, then get into the thick of it. Nie will lead you

If you spend time on social media, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered the term pelvic-floor therapy, or pelvic-floor physical therapy. This specialized form of physical therapy has been growing in popularity over the years, especially in online parenting circles and on social platforms like TikTok and Instagram, with parents discussing their personal experiences with

Mother Nature’s gift. Aunt Flo. That time of the month. It’s time to drop the euphemisms and talk plainly about one of the most important aspects of human health: menstruation. March marks Women’s History Month, and the fact of the matter is women’s health has been understudied and underrepresented in our history. For something that

Twice a year, Orangetheory Fitness hosts a DriTri — a special class that OTF enthusiasts prepare for. It’s a competition (with yourself) to see how long it takes to row 2,000 meters, how quickly you can complete 300 reps of six bodyweight exercises, and how fast you can finish a 5K run or 1.55-mile power

Whether you’re a frequent or infrequent gym-goer, there’s a good chance you’ve done crunches. Crunches are a classic core-strengthening exercise. But while they may seem ubiquitous — heck, they’re even part of the dreaded Presidential Fitness Test — they aren’t the only way to strengthen your abs. Like all exercises, crunches work best — and

Christina Applegate is leading with love. After conservative commentator Candace Owens criticized a Skims campaign for showing a model in a wheelchair, Applegate addressed some of the ableist commentary on Twitter, offering to educate Owens on the importance of accessibility. “Woke to see the most horrifying thing,” Applegate wrote on March 23. “This Candace person

A tick-borne disease known as babesiosis is on the rise in the US, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cases, which primarily occur in the Northeast and Midwest, more than doubled in certain Northeastern states between 2011 and 2019, the report found. Like Lyme disease, babesiosis is an

I was born in a nonbinary body. But because I didn’t have many examples of nonbinary people when I was growing up, I didn’t have the context to understand who I was. Everyone said I was a girl, and I assumed that some people, like me, lived their lives uncomfortable with their assigned gender. From

A fever has always been somewhat of a “red flag” symptom when it comes to illness — and concern over fever has increased over the last few years with the COVID-19 pandemic, given that it’s one of the telltale symptoms. But having a fever above normal adult temperature is not always a sign to panic.

Many people consider naps glorious. Lying down in the middle of the day can help you feel refreshed and ready to tackle your afternoon. But if you’re someone who wakes up from naps feeling more exhausted — or even sick to your stomach — the quick snoozes don’t always feel beneficial or even enjoyable. Most

Gather ’round, team! Coach Lasso has an important message to share. On March 20, Jason Sudeikis and the cast of “Ted Lasso” — including Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Toheeb Jimoh, and Brendan Hunt — joined President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House to spread a message of “positivity, hope, kindness,

A lot goes on behind closed doors. In the April 2023 issue of Rolling Stone, Ed Sheeran spoke about spending much of 2022 dealing with grief and recovering from an eating disorder, despite all of his professional success. In the span of a year, the 32-year-old musician’s wife, Cherry Seaborn, underwent surgery to remove a

Bella Hadid is proving you don’t need alcohol to have fun. The model, who already cofounded Kin Euphorics, a nonalcoholic-beverage company, is now opening up about celebrating five months alcohol-free. And she’s doing it in style: by partying with her friends in Las Vegas. On March 20, Hadid posted a TikTok of herself — wearing

Dwayne Johnson may be forever known as “The Rock”, but he works hard to earn the nickname every day. This weekend, the “Black Adam” star hit up his private gym (known as the “Iron Paradise”) for a Saturday training session, and the workout is enough to turn anyone’s arms to Jell-O. He shared the routine,

It was the day before Thanksgiving 2018 when Ashleigh Torretta, 29, received a phone call from her local Publix pharmacy. They wanted to inform her that a new prescription medication (one often used to treat multiple sclerosis), wasn’t covered by insurance and that her doctor would have to fill out a form in order for

Breast cancer is the second-most common cancer in women in the United States, and it’s responsible for about 30 percent of all new female cancers each year, according to the American Cancer Society. With that, screening for this disease is important — and the gold standard is via mammogram. If you’ve never had a mammogram

From the meat dress and her Oscar-nominated role in “A Star Is Born” to her raw documentary “Gaga: Five Foot Two,” Gaga has been making statements and dropping jaws every step of her career. Most recently,

To a cardio newbie, running can seem incredibly simple to take up. After all, the sport doesn’t involve any fancy equipment, has no set-in-stone rules to follow, and is just a fast-paced version of walking, right? Those ideas are true to an extent. But slipping on a random pair of sneakers and pounding the pavement

Green, glorious, and filled with good-for-you ingredients, Trader Joe’s selection of prepackaged salads are the easy lunch staples you’ve been looking for. With everything from vegetarian-friendly options to protein-packed favorites, there’s not a salad here that won’t have even the pickiest eater delighted. This year, TJ’s is shaking up the salad scene by mixing up

Look, I’m all about the jumping, sprinting, high-impact cardio when I’m exercising outside or in my gym’s studio. But when it comes to working out in my apartment, when one wrong burpee could send me crashing into my downstairs neighbors’ living room? Not the best idea. Recently, I’ve gotten really into doing low-impact cardio workouts

Daydreams are the land of “what ifs.” A combination of imagination and speculation, daydreams are an opportunity for people to emotionally consider what they haven’t yet experienced. These fantasies may be as simple as thinking of an upcoming graduation and imagining how proud you’ll feel or thinking about falling in love with someone. Sometimes, though,

Image Source: Flickr / Prachatai A new report published in the BMJ is facing backlash after asserting the negative mental health effects of the COVID pandemic were “minimal to small.” The report — which analyzed 137 studies on mental health and COVID — reviewed existing evidence on how the pandemic impacted general mental health, anxiety,

Image Source: Getty / Lionel Hahn Once a day, a friend of mine takes an hour-long mental break from work and walks around her neighborhood, sans headphones. “Must be nice,” I thought as she described this meditative practice, knowing the same would never be awarded to me. Why? Because she is a white woman and

At a friend’s sixth-grade birthday party, I dove off the high board of the community pool and accidentally belly flopped into the water. When I was 15, I jumped off a boat in Lake Tahoe and got caught in the current, causing me to lose my breath and swallow a lot of water. The summer

In the 5 a.m. dawn light, Jennifer Lopez takes off sprinting — like, really hauling ass — down the beach. That would be a tall ask for any celeb for a simple commercial spot (I’m pulling a hammy just watching), but for J Lo, it’s kind of NBD. “I’ve had to perform at a high
