The Peloton app has become the go-to home workout for a lot of people who can’t make it to the gym. Personally, Peloton has given me the means to sweat out my stress and get stronger at home, while offering a sense of comfort from its warrior trainers. Peloton’s instructors are some of the best

You can train all you want for a marathon, but race day will always test you in unexpected ways. That was the case for Claire Holt, who took on the 2022 New York City Marathon and found herself throwing her time goal out the window as the finish line drew near. “[My body] decided that

@lizzo FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK🍑 ♬ original sound – lizzo Lizzo is speaking out against TikTok’s unhealthy promotion of diet culture, fatphobia, and disordered eating. In a video shared on Jan. 6, the “About Damn Time” singer directly addressed negative comments from body shamers about her physical appearance. “The discourse around bodies is

“Abbott Elementary” star Tyler James Williams wanted to leave his “Everybody Hates Chris” body behind and “bulk up” — but it wasn’t that simple. “I was trying to read for roles that were my age and I couldn’t get out of high school,” because he was still gangly like a teenager, he tells Men’s Health.

Gummy supplements are a little controversial. As reported by a former POPSUGAR contributor, they often contain added sugars and oftentimes don’t contain as many nutrients as they claim on the label. I’m fully aware of this, yet I’ll be honest: I love gummies. I know it would probably be more effective and nutritious to ingest

The internet may be buzzing about her new romantic relationship, but Billie Eilish wants to talk about the one with herself. In conversation with Vogue for the magazine’s January 2023 cover story, the 21-year-old “Happier Than Ever” singer opened up about her connection with her body and how it’s changed over the years. “Going through

“You have to engage your core.” There’s an ongoing joke in my house that working your core will fix just about any issue. As a former Pilates instructor, this is my go-to fix-it line. Back pain? Engage your core. Knees hurt going downstairs? Engage your core. Trouble memorizing irregular Spanish verbs? Engage your core. The

Netflix’s latest hit, “Kaleidoscope,” has already made the top 10 list on the platform and generated tons of social media buzz. While many viewers are debating the order in which the episodes should be watched (“Yellow,” “Green,” “Violent,” “Orange,” “Blue,” “Red,” “Pink,” “White” is my favorite!), other fans have noticed a less-talked-about, but equally important,

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was taken to the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest and being administered CPR on the field during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2. The 24-year-old remains in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center but showed “signs of improvement,” according to a statement tweeted by

Strength training is an essential component of any workout regimen, especially if your goal is to get stronger. That doesn’t always mean picking up weights — for example, Pilates totally counts as strength training, as do bodyweight exercises and moves with resistance bands. However, if you’d like to up the intensity and really focus on

Adeola Heyman’s version of a deadlift doesn’t require a barbell: in pole dancing, the term is used to describe hoisting your entire body from a standing position to an inverted one while gripping a pole and only using your upper-body strength. It practically defies the laws of gravity, but that’s standard for Heyman, a 30-year-old

Ayesha Curry might be an author, entrepreneur, mom of three, and half of a true celeb power couple with husband Stephen Curry, but she has thoughts on New Year’s resolutions just like the rest of us. Namely, that they’re not *really* her thing, at least not in the traditional sense. Curry is more of a

For years, I’ve slept in the same collection of black Soffe shorts and dingy college T-shirts that were likely shot out of a cannon at a basketball game or handed to me at a university-sponsored event. But a few years ago, my friend Shontell gifted me my first pajama set. I hadn’t worn matching sleepwear

I recently found a list tucked between the pages of an old journal, dated January 2020. I remembered writing it. A small group of friends and I had gathered in a busy coffee shop to discuss our goals for the year ahead and how we’d execute them — we called our little gathering “The Goals

Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / India Yaffe I’ve never worn any kind of fitness tracker, but I always thought that if I were to try one out, it would be the Oura Ring ($299–$549). The Oura Ring 3 is a fitness and wellness tracker that calibrates your sleep, heart rate, workouts, active calorie burn, and

YouTube workouts and I, we go way back. Back before I fell in love with the gym, I went to YouTube for workouts I could do in my garage or even my dorm room in college: mostly bodyweight routines that left me feeling sweaty, satisfied, and filled with endorphins. I come back to some of

“Soft” isn’t a word often equated with exercise. Instead, fitness rhetoric generally revolves around the exact opposite: going harder, firming muscles, pushing to the max. But since 2020, many of us have been craving a gentler approach. Amid the onset and long aftermath of COVID-19, just getting off the couch was a feat worthy of

There are few more classic winter traditions than deciding at the peak of the season — you know, when the weather is gloomy, the sun seems to set roughly 40 minutes after you wake up, and you barely possess the energy required to microwave a plate of pizza rolls — that the time is exactly

In January 2019, POPSUGAR chatted with celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson about resolutions, and his overarching message was simple: Start slow. “Where most people fall off is that they try to do too much right out of the gate,” which typically leads to frustration and giving up, he explained at the time. It’s solid advice, whether

I’m always looking for new YouTube workouts (why yes, I do have three separate personal playlists of my faves), so when I saw Bretman Rock’s ab workout video had racked up more than a million views, I knew I had to click. Rock, a digital celebrity originally known for his beauty videos, isn’t a personal

There are a number of ways to tell the difference between fat versus muscle weight gain. First, we want to point out that everyone’s bodies store fat differently. Based on genetics, some people store more visceral fat — fat that’s around the organs within the abdominal cavity — and others store more subcutaneous fat, or

Considering doing Dry January this year, but worried it will wind up another failed endeavor — just like resolutions past? Well, have a little more faith.
