Brie Larson has long been one of our fitness inspirations for the way she constantly and creatively challenges her body. The “Captain Marvel” star’s push-up variations, pull-up holds, and superhero ab workouts are not for the faint of heart.

Many of us hopped on the fitness tracker bandwagon a few years ago, myself included. Did I, at one point, wear both a FitBit and an Apple Watch? Why yes, yes I did. (I’m down to just the Apple Watch now, if you were wondering.) And while tracking your steps, stands, and minutes of exercise

Anywhere from 31 to 69 percent of COVID-19 patients end up with “long COVID,” aka the version of the illness with symptoms that linger for four weeks or longer, and the symptoms are serious: extreme fatigue, loss of taste or smell, neurologic issues like brain fog, cardiovascular issues, and muscle and joint pain, to name

Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, affects up to 12 percent of Americans with female sex organs who are of childbearing age.

Activist Drew Pavlou hopes to raise enough money to print 1,000 shirts posing the question “Where is Peng Shuai?” with the intent of handing them out for free at the 2022 Australian Open women’s singles final.

I’ve gone to saunas for years, and I thoroughly enjoy how I feel after a 30-minute sweat session. There are a number of benefits to regularly going to a sauna, including improved sleep, athletic performance, and mood.
