You won’t normally find many toddlers rolling through the skate park, but 4-year-old Autumn Bailey isn’t your average kid. She spends plenty of time skateboarding, pulling off tricks most adults would struggle with.

As we head into the holidays, COVID-19 is more widespread than at any point in the pandemic. The growing number of cases has left many Americans wondering if they should travel this season or even gather with family and friends at home. The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has urged Americans to refrain

Iskra Lawrence is one of those celebrities and models who uses her social media platform to spread important messages around body image — and her Instagram Reels video from Nov. 18 is no exception.

Feeling nauseated is one of the ickiest feelings in the world. Upset stomachs, throwing up, digestive issues — I would be happy if I never had to experience those again. If you have nausea caused by side effects of another treatment (like chemotherapy), it can be even worse. People have drastically changed their diets, tried

It’s easy and totally understandable to be feeling distracted — and just generally tired — right now, and when you add holiday stress and safety concerns to the list, powering through the workday with full productivity can sometimes feel like a challenge. For me, my midday slump has been hitting harder and harder while working

Sprints, burpees, squat jumps, and other staples of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are undeniably challenging. But HIIT workouts burn a ton of calories, and I know I always feel so good when I’m finished — that is, after a few days of supersore muscles. If you’re also a fan of HIIT, then you have to

Of all the work we’ve done on our homes this year, we’ve undoubtedly given the most attention to our home gym situation.

It was the 1999 World Cup, and Brandi Chastain had just scored the winning goal, solidifying the US Women’s National Team’s victory over China.

For all of the hype booty bands get, we totally understand if you’ve pulled one out before and just wondered WTF you’re supposed to do with it.

This summer was a waiting game for many college students. I was holding my breath worrying about whether school would resume in person, if tuition would be raised, and what this would all mean for my ability to learn. For me, this stress manifested in a very physical way. I was sick all summer with

Selena Gomez has been incredibly candid about her ongoing mental health journey over the years, recently revealing she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and opening up about managing her depression during shelter-in-place.
