Like many things in 2020, vacations may look a little different. Although lengthy, faraway trips may be out of the question, days off and socially distant escapes of some form are still allowed and encouraged. But what happens if your form of vacation doesn’t quite match up with your trip buddy’s? As a fitness editor

For many women, especially those in their reproductive years, an ob-gyn is the one person who seems to have all the answers. They’re trusted medical professionals who feel familiar and reliable, and they’re often some of the first people women turn to with any medical concerns. However, this level of comfort may lead some women

It’s safe to say that we all need a little bit of calm right now. A safe harbor, a cozy nook, a place to go to get away from it all (at least for a little while). Before you brew a cup of tea, grab a book, or light an aromatherapy-tinged candle, make sure you

If you can’t get enough of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s latest hit and our new favorite anthem, “WAP,” you’re not alone. It’s officially on all of our workout playlists, we’ve been randomly reciting lines throughout our day, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. We’ve been waiting for YouTubers to release workouts

The events of Aug. 26 were a long time coming. After the police shooting of Jacob Blake three days prior, which left him paralyzed from the waist down, the Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA made the decision to sit out their playoff game against the Orlando Magic. That choice started a ripple effect throughout the

Voter suppression has always been a concern in Black communities, but the COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique set of challenges. One of the most pressing: districts are experiencing shortages in poll workers, which could mean fewer polling locations and longer lines in November. To address this issue, a group of professional athletes led by LeBron

Sunglasses? Check. Wallet? Check. Stylish, tie-dye, double-layered cloth face mask? Check! Fabric face masks are the most important accessory we have now, so it’s good to keep a wide variety on hand in multiple colors, patterns, and designs to match every outfit in your closet — because, ya know, a leopard-print face mask does not

I knew the four bodyweight moves Olympic gymnast Samantha Peszek shared on Instagram were going to be challenging but great for targeting the core — after all, I tried her former teammate’s ab routine last year, and it ignited my midsection big time. Peszek, who was a member of the US women’s Olympic gymnastics team

By now, we all know how important face masks are to stopping the spread of COVID-19. In fact, experts say it’s not only safe but recommended that you wear a face mask even while exercising, including tough workouts like running. However, as fun as it is to collect cute, patterned face masks the way we

Who doesn’t love chips? The crispy, crunchy, salty snack is awesome anytime, whether you need something to munch on at a party or are just chilling at home on the weekend. But when we’re trying to eat low-carb, that typically means chips are out of the question — until now. These 13 chips all have

It’s tough enough to balance on a skateboard as is, so imagine doing it while dancing (yep, dancing) across the board. That’s what longboard dancers do, combining athleticism with grace to create artistic, mesmerizing clips and routines filled with spins, board flips, and side-to-side flow. It’s a style that grew out of ’80s-style skateboarding and

You’re in the middle of your squat reps — weight in hand — and just like that, a charley horse causes your calf muscle to go rogue. When this type of muscle spasm or cramp hits, there is no mistaking what’s going down. The pain doesn’t usually last longer than a few minutes, but it’s

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and sports were either sidelined or played with little to no fans in attendance, I’ve often thought about what it’ll be like when we can pack bleachers and stadiums again. There’s something magical about hundreds or thousands of people sharing a moment together in sports, a feeling that’s captured

When the countdown clock hits that last five minutes, it can be tough to keep your head in the game of a strength workout — raise your hand if you’ve ended a session with an Instagram scroll rather than one final push. EMOM finishers are the perfect solution, helping you to top off your workout

Naomi Osaka is joining NBA, WNBA, and MLB athletes in sitting out her next scheduled match following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, WI, on Aug. 23. Blake was shot at least seven times in the back outside of his own vehicle, while his three children were present. Osaka shared a statement on

After a busy day of work, I like winding down with a glass of wine in the evening. The problem with my ritual is that it can lead to headaches and extra calories my body doesn’t need. Frankly, I have never found an alternative that both tastes good and destresses me until I finally tried

Being asked to stay at home can be challenging, particularly if you’re dealing with a lot of nervous energy right now. With the 24-hour coverage of the coronavirus growing more unsettling every day, you may find yourself craving some sense of normalcy while practicing social distancing. The good news: if normalcy means getting some much-needed

When it comes to your workout gear, there are a few pieces you truly want to get right. Sports bras are one of them. You need one that doesn’t rub, fits just right, and gives you the proper support when you need it but won’t restrict you while you break a sweat. If you’ve been

Workout clothes are what we’re wearing on repeat right now, for a few different reasons. Firstly, they’re super comfortable, and when we’re working, we can focus on just that, work. We don’t have to worry about uncomfortable pants or tops that won’t stay put when we’re wearing our workout clothes. Plus, this isn’t scientific, but

Yoga doesn’t have hard-and-fast rules. The practice is all about making the body feel good — and adding a pool to the equation can do more than just help you cool off in the summer heat. “Pool yoga harnesses the resistance and buoyancy properties of the water to create a non-impact, total-body workout, that ups

If you’re trying to lose weight, eating the right foods is your not-so-secret weapon. We’re all too familiar with that 3 p.m. hunger craving, so when it does strike, you want to be prepared with something that will keep you full and focused, but still tastes good. Adding protein to your diet is an easy
