You only need 15 minutes for this intense workout inspired by legendary sprinter Usain Bolt. Expect cardio-centric exercises like sprinter starts and broad jumps to elevate your heart rate. This session, led by trainer Gideon Akande, also includes core-centric exercises like crunches and planks for a full-body challenge that will have you feeling like you’re

(PS: Shoutout to our Instagram audience and the POPSUGAR Workout Club on Facebook for voting on the name.) We’ll get together for workouts, cheer each other on, get just a

No matter where you are on a fitness path, you need to wear something, right? (No judgment if you’re on a nude yoga journey, but we can’t help you there.) Maybe you’re trying to stay cool while working out safely at home, or perhaps the warmer weather has you doing more routines outdoors? Even if

When Noah Centineo asked his Instagram followers if he should “start training again” last summer, the answer was a hard “yes,” right? His abs sure think so! The 24-year-old actor has been getting absolutely shredded in preparation for his role as Atom Smasher in Black Adam, and after doing a deep dive into his workout

Over-the-counter, all-natural supplements are a seemingly easy, low-risk way to treat whatever ails you, but sometimes the convenience of it all can make us forget that there are still risks to supplements, including convincing yourself that you feel better when you don’t, potentially masking an underlying health issue. One cure-all supplement as of late: magnesium.

As a former competitive swimmer, I live for the Summer Olympics. Swimming and diving are my jam, and while I could probably recite the medal counts of Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, and Katie Ledecky backwards and forwards, diving has always been the event that takes my breath away. The accuracy, consistency, grace, and skill that

Whether you’re a secret drinks fan, into something aesthetically pleasing to sip on, or want a cold coffee with a kick, Starbucks is here for you. And, if you’re looking for low-cal drink options, the brand (“Starbs” and, my favorite,”Starbies,” for short) has you covered, too. POPSUGAR reached out to Starbucks to provide you with

If you have a vagina, you probably haven’t been giving it enough TLC, and that’s got to change. Talking about vaginal health has been taboo for entirely too long, and it’s important you know more about your vagina, how to best care for it, and how to maintain and achieve good vaginal health. You may

One of our favorite new activewear trends is actually something we’ve been wearing for a long time, and are so happy to see them finally get the recognition they deserve. Most people are only used to seeing athletic skirts on a tennis court, but they’re starting to pop up on hiking trails, jogging paths, and

My exercise routine gets a hard edit when I’m PMSing. Whether it’s because of painful cramps or the fact that my energy is totally zapped, I have no interest in the high-energy and intense Peloton classes (courtesy of Jess Sims) that I usually love. But working out is particularly important for my overall mood and

Mechelle Lewis Freeman didn’t plan to become an Olympian. She had dabbled in youth soccer and basketball and didn’t even pick up a pair of spikes until high school. But once she realized she was fast, she never looked back — except, maybe, to check on her competition. When asked why she stuck with track

Surfing will make its Olympic debut in Tokyo this summer, so if you want to feel like an expert while watching Games, now is the perfect time to learn how the competition is structured and scored. Fortunately, you don’t need to take any surf lessons to find answers — we’ve got you covered with a

It’s hard to single out the best of the best when you’re talking about performances in collegiate gymnastics. There’s so much talent, near-perfection, and excitement that courses through the veins of the sport and its show-stopping athletes. But this season, which came to a close after last weekend’s NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships, has been nothing

I am 30 years old, stand at 5’4″, and weigh 140 pounds. I’m the heaviest weight I’ve ever been, and I’m finally OK with it — because I’m also the strongest and healthiest I’ve ever been. Throughout adulthood, I’ve weighed anywhere between 115 and 135 pounds. While battling bulimia for 10 years, my weight was

Whether you’re a regular yogi or not, it’s time to start incorporating restorative yoga poses into your fitness routine. Just like stretching before and after a cardio workout helps your muscles recover, these poses are held for longer to help relax the mind and body. “Restorative yoga provides pause through allowing the nervous system to

You might be familiar with panic attacks: a sudden episode of intense fear, even when there is no cause or danger, that triggers severe physical reactions, such as racing heart, the shakes, tight chest, and even arm pain that feels like a heart attack. You might think you are losing control or dying. And while

Probiotics are popping up everywhere — in your moisturizer, in bubbly beverages, and in daily supplements to help keep the vagina healthy. In terms of vaginal health, some experts believe probiotics could be beneficial for those who have had a lot of yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis. So, what about using probiotics to help prevent

You may not think about your glutes very often — especially if you’re new to working out — but they’re one of the most important muscle groups in the body. Your butt muscles help support your core and control the way that your pelvis, hips, and torso move, so they’re a super-important part of your

Low-impact doesn’t not mean easy when it comes to workouts. Sweat app co-founder and trainer Kayla Itsines created this workout in conjunction with her new eight-week program on the Sweat app called Low Impact With Kayla, which is full of highly effective workouts with no jumping or burpees. Itsines shared a sample of one of

When it’s arm day, you’re probably so focused on working on your upper body that you might not realize that many exercises work not only your biceps, triceps, lats, back, and shoulders, but also your core. Nike trainer and Muay Thai boxer Nesrine Dally shows you how to work your arms and core at the

Some menstrual cup users claim they may never turn back to tampons. And when you look at the benefits of using a menstrual cup during your period, you can understand why. For starters, many can be worn for up to 12 hours, as opposed to tampons, which have to be changed every eight hours. They’re
