The bar was way higher. [The competitions]
I’ve been working out consistently for more than 10 years, always in a gym or studio and never at home. I’ve tried everything from kickboxing and big-box gyms to Pilates and personal training. Currently my love is F45, where I get the benefit of high-intensity interval training, weights, a supportive community, and a feeling that
I was skeptical at first to try Daily Harvest because of my previous experience with frozen meal delivery services. However, when I tried the service a couple months ago, I loved the delicious, chef-crafted products, including overnight oats, soups, smoothies, grain bowls, and even matcha lattes. After becoming a smoothie-in-the-morning type of person who enjoys

If your schedule has been disrupted and you find yourself waking up at different hours every day, forgetting or skipping workouts altogether,
One of the main reasons people buy organic produce is to eliminate the risk of pesticides from their diet. Even with a good wash, however, you may still be paranoid that you can’t get everything off.

Let’s face it; sports bras can be tough to shop for. They need to be functional and supportive, but they should also be pretty enough to be seen peeking through a tank or rocking on their own. Lululemon has got cute, supportive sports bras down, but it can be tricky figuring out which one to

Hayley Williams, aka the frontwoman of Paramore, released her first solo album earlier this month and decided to do our favorite form of self-promotion: leading a workout set to her song “Over Yet.” “Here’s an exercise routine so short that you don’t even need to put your hair up in a ponytail,” Williams says by
I’ve never been much of a morning person. Even as a kid, my mom had to set our rambunctious dog loose in my bedroom to get me up for school. By the time I reached my mid-20s, my morning sluggishness had turned to exhaustion. At first, I thought it was simply a consequence of working
Lunch breaks are for lunch, sure, but they can also be a good time to move your body, especially if you’re working from home and aren’t getting up as much. Doing your 9-to-5 desk job duties outside of your 9-to-5 office space might eliminate the parameters of a regular work day. Translation? You could find
After almost seven years of practicing yoga and going through the 200-hour certified teaching program, I still couldn’t do a proper Chaturanga Dandasana.

Nine days after Tokyo 2020 was officially postponed, I caught up with Olympian, writer, and Olympic Dreams filmmaker Alexi Pappas from afar.
