Weight Loss

I know it’s a bad habit, but I definitely don’t always change my clothes immediately after a sweaty workout. My schedule has been packed with errands, work obligations, and events recently, so sometimes a shower between an at-home cycling class and a trip to the grocery store (then the dry cleaners and the bank) doesn’t

In March 2020, when New Yorkers could not go to gyms, I realized that I had to bring the gym to my apartment. In doing so, I realized just how expensive equipment can be. Thankfully, after some internet digging, I’ve found some options for inexpensive equipment including the following hand weights. If you’re choosing to

I’ve been having a great night of sleep when I wear an eye mask to block out light and earplugs to block out noise. I honestly didn’t think my sleep could be improved, until I tried out this Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow ($100). I was skeptical that a pillow could make a difference, but after

Getting cramps when you’re not expecting your period can feel a little confusing, but it’s not necessarily out of the ordinary.

Nike is standing with sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson after she tested positive for marijuana.

As someone with a lifelong fear of heights, I pulled myself together to take a yoga class with Equinox at 6:30am, 101 stories above New York City at the Edge in Hudson Yards, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere.

Olivia Moultrie just signed her first professional soccer contract, which would be a milestone in any player’s career. But for Moultrie, it’s an even bigger deal, because it makes the 15-year-old the youngest NWSL player ever.

Cycling is a fun, versatile workout that has always been popular, but in recent years, it’s become somewhat of a phenomenon, especially with the adoption of at-home bikes like the Peloton. Everyone’s goals are different, but if you’ve started cycling in hopes of losing weight — as so many people do — you may be

Gymnasts Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles are proof that when women build each other up, anything is possible.

Biles could see that Chiles was struggling after not

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carli Lloyd has already made history after being named to the USWNT roster for the Tokyo Olympics.

QUESTION: What are some ways to practice self-care when I’m confronted by racial trauma? DR. JESS: I think one of the first things to do is to recognize that this is a larger issue than what’s occurring in our individual lives.

In April of last year, Jade Carey mathematically clinched an individual ticket to the Tokyo Olympics with her vault performances at the Apparatus World Cup series.

The USWNT are in Group G, which is a tough one: they’ll

Supplements are a an essential part of my daily wellness routine, but sometimes I wonder if they’re actually doing what they say they’ll do on the box.

If you have a friend or family member who is attempting to get pregnant, you may have once heard them mention that they’re tracking their ovulation cycle.

I have mild cerebral palsy that affects my left arm and leg, which isn’t necessarily uncommon. What’s far less typical about my experience with cerebral palsy, though, is that I don’t fit neatly into others’ expectations of what someone with cerebral palsy is “supposed to” look like. I don’t use mobility aids or walk with

Beach volleyball player April Ross made her Olympic debut at the 2012 London Summer Games, but she’s been bumping, setting, and spiking for more than 20 years.

“I’ll come to you,” she said before we hung up. After getting lost in St. Louis on the way to my friend’s house — a city that always causes me to feel uneasy anyway, thanks to past trauma — I was lucky enough to find a gas station where a friendly worker let me borrow
