It isn’t until bedtime that I fully regret my morning run. My knee pain at night often leaves me tossing and turning — and wondering why on earth it’s worsening hours after my exercise. According to Zachary Rogers PT, DPT, CSCS, physical therapist at HSS, any knee pain at night should be addressed through a

Eating yummy meals with friends and family is one of my favorite things to do, especially around the holidays. But a celebratory dinner can quickly take a turn for the worse thanks to unpleasant digestive issues, like bloating or constipation. I chatted with registered dietitian and Daily Harvest advisor Amy Shapiro about how to incorporate

Yes, the world-class gymnast started dating her new beau and debuted gravity-defying skills at practice, but she had to

Meditation has been a part of my life in different ways for the last few years. Most recently, it has been a way for me to handle stress, sleep better, and help counterbalance the physical training I put my body through. But there’s a part of meditation that has always confounded me that may surprise

I’m always concerned with how my teeth look when I should be paying more attention to my gums for insight into my general dental health. If your gums are swelling, bleeding, discolored (think red, blue, or dark red instead of pink!), receding, or have changed from a firm to spongy texture— these are all signs

In this episode of POPSUGAR’s House Call, host Jeanette Jenkins, creator of The Hollywood Trainer Club, calls up a friend, who also happens to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time: Venus Williams. Williams, who has racked up seven Grand Slam singles titles during her career, and Jenkins share an upper-body workout

Have you ever walked into your favorite fitness store, looking to pick up a pair of incredible leggings, but ended up leaving wanting everything in sight? Well . . . same. We love gear, but it doesn’t always come cheap; that’s why we often hold off on buying our favorites and wait to add them

Slowly but surely, this runner has learned the value of strength training. I’ve learned to embrace curls, rows, and squats just as much as my morning runs during this year of home workouts. What’s more, I’ve collected a few more training-specific accessories along the way. My UA HOVR™ Rise 2 Training Shoes ($100), hand weights,

Making the switch from a manual to electric toothbrush is a big decision — there are so many different options out there, and they tend to be on the pricey side. So if you’re going to splurge on upgrading your dental care routine, you want to make sure you’re going with the best possible choice.

I first realized I needed to make a change in my life while I was waiting for my ice cream to soften in the microwave. I know many people will have feelings about that — but this isn’t about my habit of microwaving ice cream. This story is about the fact that, while I was

COVID-19 vaccines are starting to be distributed, but according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, masks are still one of the best tools we can use to slow the spread of the coronavirus. To inspire people to continue wearing masks, the band The Mental Notes from Johns Hopkins University created this amazing and creative “WAP” parody called

When the group chat goes off with questions about birth control and sex, sometimes it’s hard to know how to respond. Franchesca Ramsey has definitely been there — so she called ob-gyn Dr. Kiarra King to get the lowdown on their contraception options and myth bust some safe sex questions. Hit play to watch Dr.

Eating a healthy lunch? Check. Exercise? Check. Drinking more water, finding some quiet time to yourself, going to be early? Eh, those feel-good habits are a little harder to keep top of mind. While New Year’s resolutions will likely look a little different this year — who else put “travel more” at the top of

Treadmills can be polarizing. You either love running on one or you feel like you’re on an endless hamster wheel. I happen to be in the second camp. As a marathon runner, I gravitate toward long stretches of city streets or my favorite river park. But the second I lace up my UA HOVR™ Phantom

As someone who picked up running as an adult, I never had a running coach or was a part of a high school track or cross country team. So, everything I’ve learned about the sport has been from, well, just getting out there and running. For the most part, I’ve been able to lace up

If you have 15 minutes to spare, congratulations: that’s just enough time to sneak in this 10-move HIIT workout from Jeanette Jenkins, creator of The Hollywood Trainer Club, and former NFL star DeMarcus Ware. In this episode of POPSUGAR’s House Call, Jenkins and Ware lead us through tough bodyweight moves like alternating lunges, hollow body

If you’ve never watched the mesmerizing and impressive ice dance duo, Oona and Gage Brown, you’re in for a treat. What’s even more amazing than their fluid, acrobatic, and in-sync skating is that they are brother and sister (insert “awww” here). Oona, 16, and Gage, 18, are part of the junior ice dance team for

Running on a treadmill is a great way to stay active when the cold winter weather forces you indoors. To make the most out of your running workout, though, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Ben Lauder-Dykes, a NASM-certified trainer at Fhitting Room and Running Mechanics Performance Coach L2, took to

While the holidays can bring a lot of cheer, they can also come with pain. You may be grieving a loved one, seeing a family member who’s hurt you in the past, or struggling to handle the changes to your routine. For many people, the holidays can also be hard for another reason: They’re working

Although many of us will have much different-looking holidays this season, some of us will still be hitting the road. If you’ve opted to avoid plane travel and a road trip is on your calendar, it’s important to remember the effects sitting for long periods of time can have on the body. “Muscles get tight

On Dec. 18, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received her first dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, as Congress members became eligible for the shots under government continuity guidelines. The New York representative shared the simple vaccination process on her Instagram Stories Friday evening. “Just like wearing a mask, I’d never advise you to do something I wasn’t willing

I’m all-in on breakfast smoothies right now. They’re filling and easy to make before logging into work, and I try to pack mine with good-for-me ingredients like green veggies, flaxseeds, and almond butter. But for the sake of my teeth, I’m going to be more particular about what fruits I’m throwing in the blender from

Among the many things that changed in 2020, people’s exercise routines looked a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, many athletic competitions, like races, were cancelled this year. But according to Strava’s annual Year in Sport Data Report, that didn’t stop users of the fitness app from tackling their wellness goals. Hundreds of

With the pandemic forcing many people to adapt their fitness routines to the confines of their homes, exercise typically done in class settings — like spinning or barre — has gone virtual. But often you still need specific equipment to make the most of your workout. Now, thanks to Andrea Leigh Rogers, you can level

When it comes to shopping for workout leggings, fit is very important to me. Pants need to be the right length, have just the right amount of compression, and be mid- to high-waisted because that offers me the most amount of comfort. While shopping Old Navy’s big fitness sale recently I decided to give its

2020 has been a year. Between the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most stressful elections in recent history, and the racial tension in the country, stress and anxiety are at an all-time high. Like many of you, I entered the year with high hopes and big dreams. Instead, more often than not, I ended up

The CDC caused a stir earlier this month by announcing new COVID-19 quarantine recommendations. Instead of a blanket 14-day quarantine for anyone in contact with a COVID-19-positive person, the CDC now provides another option: if you’ve been in contact with someone who had the virus but you haven’t shown any symptoms, you can end your

Call it the Inception effect, but lucid dreaming has become somewhat of a phenomenon in recent years, with both the scientific community and everyday people becoming curious about how to achieve this state of altered consciousness. “Usually, when we dream, we cannot tell the difference between dreams and reality,” Nikola Djordjevic MD, a general practitioner
