There’s something about cycling that’s just so nostalgic. It reminds me of when I was a kid, exploring the neighborhood with my dad on a pink sparkly bike. Although I would love to spend hours riding with the wind in my hair, admiring nature, and laughing with loved ones on a bicycle now, it’s not

Sneakers are always at the top of my fitness shopping list.

I’ve been the runner who opted for classic black one

Even though my drawers are stacked with tons of workout clothes, I find myself turning to the same couple of pieces again and again. A few of my favorite finds are from Old Navy because the brand’s quality continues to blow me away. Years ago, I purchased a pair of leggings from the retailer on

When Tyler Wright scored the first perfect 10 of the 2021 World Surf League Championship Tour, it seemed to signal the end of a few things. Her grueling journey back from a debilitating bout of post-viral syndrome, for one thing; the yearlong, pandemic-induced hiatus of professional surf competitions for another. But as Wright carved through

Can you remember the last time you colored in a coloring book? Before the pandemic, I had probably only colored a handful of times in adolescence and adulthood.

As COVID-19 cases continue to surge, millions of Americans may need to seek either inpatient or outpatient care while battling the virus. But it’s no secret that healthcare costs can be exorbitant, so it’s important to be aware of whether or not your insurance plan covers COVID-19 treatment. Like everything else pertaining to health insurance,

The holidays are around the corner, but instead of the usual large gatherings, many of us are turning to nature for socially distant activities (and increased fitness skills). We’re swapping our end-of-year parties for some fun under the sun, braving mountain slopes, bookmarking ice-skating rinks, or exploring new hiking trails. While I’d trade a hike

I love all soda. It really is my guilty pleasure. I’ve discovered a brand that makes me feel less guilty about enjoying it so much, though. I was strolling through the supermarket when I spotted these gorgeous pastel soda cans in a cooler. The prettily decorated packaging covered in fun fruits and aesthetically pleasing fonts

Quan Bui has been sharing impressive pole dance videos on the app for nearly a year, but he recently decided to add a fantastical twist by wearing a whimsical mermaid tail, which also forces Quan to mainly rely

My yoga mat is hands-down the most used athletic gear I own, especially now that I’m working out at home. It’s not just yoga days anymore; push-ups, crunches, donkey kicks, and more require a soft padded mat on my hardwood floors, and my faded pink yoga mat does the trick. But recently, I’ve been thinking

Cavities are a pain. They require a trip to the dentist’s office, an hour or two of numbness afterward, and if left untreated, they can lead to a whole bevy of serious dental concerns.

While Serena Williams may be one of the greatest players the tennis world has seen yet, she’s had to overcome numerous struggles to get to where she is today — and none of them have to do with her talent. During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Dec. 7, the athlete discussed the

“What’s the first thing you want to eat when you get back home?” my Thimphu hosts asked. I’d spent the past few weeks nannying my cousin’s kids in a remote region of eastern Bhutan, and food hadn’t been particularly plentiful there.

Home workouts are convenient — really, who wants to schlep to the gym, only to end up waiting for a machine? — but they’re not always comfortable, especially if you’re working out on hardwood floors, in your garage, or in an unfinished basement. In that case, a supportive and durable exercise mat is essential when
