According to Tokyo-Games-bound long-distance runner Aliphine Tuliamuk, nothing is harder than 50 hours of labor — not any of the 26.2-mile races she’s ever done. “At least I know where the finish line is during a marathon,” she told POPSUGAR via email.

Legendary gymnast Simone Biles may boast a combined total of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals and a record seven national all-around titles, but she’s more than just an incredible athlete. When Biles speaks, people listen, and it’s because everything the 24-year-old says is truly inspirational. From surviving sexual abuse to persevering through a pandemic,

After testing positive for marijuana at the Olympic Trials last month and losing her spot in the women’s 100 meters, Sha’Carri Richardson has been left off the US 4×100 relay team and will officially miss Tokyo.

When talking about sports, a hat trick happens when a player scores three times in one game — so, no, it has nothing to do with headgear or a sleight of hand. While the event can happen in a lot of sports (hockey, cricket, water polo, darts), the term is most commonly used in soccer.

ANNOVERA® is a long-lasting birth control option you can control. It’s a ring. It goes in your vagina. Notice we said “vagina” and not “the v-word.” Because when we talk like that about reproductive health, we’re apologizing for our bodies. So consider this an unapology, from ANNOVERA®. ANNOVERA® is a first-of-its-kind birth control that’s as

The 24-year-old has racked up an astonishing six national all-around titles and a record 25 world championship medals, 19 of which are gold — and when she competes at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, she’ll undoubtedly add even more medals to her evergrowing

Recovery post-workout can be a few stretches in a corner, but wouldn’t you rather have access a full-service spa? Then you might want to sign up for a membership at a health club spa. These wellness destinations house fitness centers, group classes, dining areas, full-service spas, and some even have coworking spaces. With so much

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 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

Getting cramps when you’re not expecting your period can feel a little confusing, but it’s not necessarily out of the ordinary. In fact, that discomfort you’re feeling in your abdomen might be a sign you’re at the ovulation stage of your menstrual cycle. According to Marco Mouanness, MD, an ob-gyn and fertility expert at the

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

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.

Veggies are the one of the best foods you can eat for weight loss because they’re low in calorie density, which means they have fewer calories per pound compared to other foods. POPSUGAR spoke to registered dietitians Kate Coufal, MS, RDN and Lonielle Freeman, RDN, to ask whether it makes a difference if your veggies

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.

There’s nothing like post-workout soreness after some serious leg exercises. While your hams and glutes should feel the burn after lunges, you may have a problem if your knees seemed strained instead. Even if you have bad knees, there are a few signs that lunges might not be right for you. Not to worry though

We get it: the whole “put your phone away 30 minutes before going to bed” thing is easier said than done. When, if not at 1 a.m.. are you going to have the nerve to lurk your ex’s new fling?! Or, fall down that UFO sighting rabbit hole you didn’t have time to research during

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.
