The holiday season has always been one of my favorite times of the year. I find myself smiling when I think about how chaotically special my loud family is on Christmas Eve, the sense of peace I get stepping into my parent’s house and watching Hallmark movies with my mom, and the nights I reconnect

Gifting season is in full swing, and the last thing you want is to be caught scratching your head as to what to shop for the fitness-lover in your life. For the run-through-the-seasons, always-on-the-go type, a workout-ready jacket that’s prepped for the elements and a sweat session might just be the ideal present. Shop these

[embedded content] When I was a kid, one of my favorite parts of the holiday season was breaking out my CD player and listening to the Radio Disney Jingle Jams CD on repeat. It was the height of my Hilary Duff phase, and I truly never got tired of listening to her belt the chorus

It feels like there are endless ways to work out at home these days, but even with all of the great apps to choose from, you may still be missing your favorite in-person exercise class for one major reason: the socializing. Now, thanks to Obé, you can get even closer to replicating the class experience

Mariah Bahe may be soft spoken around people she doesn’t know, but she draws strength in the ring you can hear, see, and feel. The 16-year-old high school junior is the star of a 15-minute Olympic Channel documentary, Mariah: A Boxer’s Dream, that debuted on Dec. 3 and showcases Bahe’s skills as one of the

Like newborn babies and wild teenagers, my sleep life has been fractured and unpredictable well into my adult life. I could blame it on my parents — they have always stayed up late and never enforced a strict bedtime on me or my siblings — but the truth is more complicated than that. I have

For months now I’ve needed a feel-good song to belt at the top of my lungs — and my hopes were answered in October when Shawn Mendes released “Wonder.” It’s a tune you want to scream out of your car window even with strangers watching from the side of the road (which makes the launch

Working out at home rather than in a gym can seem limiting, but you really can get in a good workout with minimal equipment. We love disc sliders because they are cheap (you can find them for $10 or less on Amazon), and you can use them to do dozens of exercises (if you don’t

I became a regular napper years ago, when I was a freshman in college. I found closing my eyes for a chunk of time was the best way to escape the stressors of a jam-packed day. But while working corporate jobs during my 20s, I had no choice but to let those daily naps go.

On Dec. 2, the UK became the first country to approve a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, and it’s set to begin rolling out in the coming days. British health regulator Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has given the vaccine the green light to be administered as soon as next week,

Emily Thorne, a Canfitpro-certified personal trainer and one of our favorite fitness YouTubers, has dropped the first workout in her “12 Days of HIITmas” series, and it’s 20 minutes of holiday hits

Warning: some things discussed in this personal essay may be triggering to those with a history of disordered eating. I was 18 years old when I fully admitted to myself that I had an eating disorder. It wasn’t because I didn’t experience symptoms before then. I had been struggling with disordered behaviors since I was

If you find yourself working from home these days, it can be tempting to show up to your 9 a.m. meeting in your favorite leggings and sweatshirt. Although I won’t pass judgment on this (this editor has done it plenty of times), I will say that if there’s one piece of clothing that I don’t

In 2012, former soccer player Rachel Buehler Van Hollebeke took home a gold medal at the London Olympics as part of the US Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT). Eight years later, Van Hollebeke is now working on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic as a family medicine resident. The former Olympian is currently a

After every Peloton class I’ve taken by instructor Cody Rigsby, I always think to myself, “this guy has great taste in music.” But, I’d like to give him more credit than that. Rigsby strategically curates his playlists with the sole purpose of connecting with his fans, and his approach is pretty genius. First and foremost,

On Nov. 30, Moderna announced it will submit a request to the US Food and Drug Administration as well as the European Medicines Agency to authorize its coronavirus vaccine for emergency use.

There’s a reason your mom always told you to wear your hat when it’s cold outside. In fact, up to 50 percent of your body heat can be lost through your head. If you’re planning on running outside at all during winter, make sure you’re dressed for the weather — and make sure to pay

You know what’s really hard? Running with a face mask on! Your breathing is shallow and you can never quite catch your breath. You also almost feel like taking in all of this fresh air in the opposite of what you should be doing. As we all adjust to wearing masks when we’re not home,

College football history has been made! On Nov. 28, Vanderbilt University senior Sarah Fuller became the first woman to play in a Power Five game as the Commodores took on the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. Fuller’s barrier-breaking moment came at the beginning of the second half when she took the field as a

I know just as well as anyone the pains of outdoor workouts during winter — the internal battle of wanting to go outside and get fresh air mixed with the genuine fear of those bitter cold temperatures. For all those times when you just need to buck up and face the elements, make sure you’re

Black Friday is coming right up, and honestly, we’ve already started shopping. There are so many great pieces available to score at great prices, and we’re turning to all our favorite brands to find the best picks imaginable. As devoted Lululemon lovers, the Black Friday event is an incredibly exciting moment, and we’re reaching for

If you’ve been thinking about trying a weighted blanket, you’re in luck. The science behind these popular blankets is actually fascinating, they can help relieve stress, anxiety, and can even get you a good nights sleep. Not all choices come cheap though, but now’s the perfect time to invest in one. Thanks to Black Friday

From my couch to kitchen countertop to bed, I’ve turned almost every square inch of my apartment into a work-from-home desk — and my stationary bike is next. I have a YOSUDA, but I’ve found tray tables that reportedly support laptops for just about any bike brand — Peloton, included. (I just recommend you measure

Meditating is a great way to practice mindfulness and manage stress in your daily life, but if you’ve never done it before, getting started can definitely be intimidating. I’m relatively new to meditating myself, and I often find myself getting distracted by my thoughts. According to meditation teacher and actor Logan Browning, this is a

Truth be told, you don’t need more than a pen and paper to practice journaling and reap the stress-relieving, mindfulness-promoting benefits. But, journals specifically catered to self-care, wellness practices, and gratitude with prompts and insightful exercises may help you keep the habit. They also make beautiful, thoughtful, and caring gifts during this unprecedented holiday season.

Every December, I begin my holiday kitchen residency — a month spent living between my kitchen island and stove, creating everything from gingerbread cookies to peppermint bark to spiked eggnog. I’ve even dedicated a Christmas playlist and apron to the occasion. Despite my excitement, my stomach doesn’t find this to be the most wonderful month

If you’re looking for a nutrient that supports your immune system, fights inflammation, and even helps your skin age more gracefully, then you must get your hands on some vitamin C. Yes, the vitamin that is the shining star of citrus fruits can do wonders when it comes to supporting your overall health. And while

Missing a period can be scary, or exciting, depending on your life plan. But skipping over that time of the month doesn’t always mean you’re pregnant. In fact, it’s totally normal to miss your period every once in a while — and far more common than you think. “We typically assume a 28-day cycle as

Thanks to 2020, I’ve maxed out the miles on my hiking shoes — which made me realize how fortunate I am to live near mountains that (safely!) offer plenty of fresh air and new scenery. So, as I shop for new boots, I want to do so sustainably as a small token of thanks to
