This is your reminder to take a deep breath, unclinch your jaw, and drop your shoulders. Feeling a little less tense? Good. If you’ve been feeling anxious, stressed, or a combination of emotions, moving your body around may help you feel better. Some love to sweat out their emotions with high-intensity workouts, but sometimes gentle

When my Peloton arrived, I couldn’t wait to hop in the saddle and ride out all of my pent-up cardio energy. I immediately dove into all the HIIT, intervals, and Tabata-based classes that popped up onto my homepage, with a goal of ending the workout completely drenched in sweat — and that I was. I

With only one day left until election day, former Olympic ice skater Adam Rippon shared this video of what he calls “probably the most important performance of my life.” He put on a pair of rollerblades and gracefully glided and twirled his ballot right into the ballot drop box — to the song “Perfect Day”

Headaches, not to mention migraines, aren’t just painful – they’re inconvenient, too. They come at the worst times, making you quickly reach for pain medications just to get them over with. However, if you’re looking for a natural alternative to either replace or supplement your regular ibuprofen, an herbal tea might become your new best

My new apartment is precisely five doors down from a restaurant with the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. I’m so obsessed with the dish that I’ve started filling my pantry with tea bags — hot tea and good TV is my mom’s go-to remedy for bloating after a big meal. I always thought

It was last year that Nike debuted the Victory Swim collection, featuring full-coverage swimsuits and hijabs to help make swimming more inclusive. Now, just over a year after the collection debuted, Nike dropped a new Victory Swim ad that has feeling chills in the best possible way. The ad starts by showing a mom teaching

I love strength training, but lately I’ve completely switched up my workout routine, and I’ve been doing a lot of Pilates. I haven’t retired the weights, but I like doing Pilates workouts on days when I want to move my body but am sore from a challenging running workout or doing a strength session the

It’s that time of week again — live workout time! This week you can tune in on both @popsugarfitness and our YouTube channel for our newest Instagram Live and YouTube Live workouts.

It’s not always easy to get into a yoga flow when you’re feeling stressed. In fact, if you’re overwhelmed and anxious, it might feel like the last thing you want to do. But if there’s one thing we know about yoga, it’s that you should never underestimate its power for relieving worries and creating calm.

Seated workouts are versatile because they can be performed by people of all fitness levels, and those with limited mobility don’t have to be excluded from the equation. That’s something Aaron Sloan, head coach and owner of Engine Room Boxing in Tulsa, OK, believes in — bringing fitness to people of various abilities. He’s a

I’ve been fighting off quarantine cooking fatigue for a few weeks now. Preparing dinner doesn’t bother me quite as much (I can save a lot of money by whipping it up myself), but making healthy and plant-based lunches from scratch while working from home can sometimes feel like a chore — especially if I don’t

The other rooms in your home are going to be so jealous of your kitchen when you start baking this chocolate marbled pumpkin bread — they’ll wish they could smell this irresistible! Perfectly spiced with swirls of chocolate batter, this vegan dessert is decadent enough to make for Thanksgiving, but easy enough to whip up

I always thought knots were primarily an issue in the back and neck muscles. That is, until I discovered a painful knot in my calf. It was so deep in the muscle and so sensitive to the touch that self-massage was not an option. I remember the exact moment I found it. I was lying

In healthy doses, sleep allows your body to feel restored and ready for whatever chaos the next day may bring. But when that delicate balance is disturbed — say, by a global pandemic or high-stakes election — abnormal sleep patterns can have very real consequences. We talk a lot about the detrimental effects that may

For-profit healthcare short-changes virtually everyone, but according to new evidence, Black queer youth are among those who suffer the most. A new study from The Trevor Project led by Myeshia Price-Feeney, PhD, found that 44 percent of Black queer youth seriously considered suicide in the past 12 months, including 59 percent of Black transgender and

As far as we’re concerned, every season is pumpkin season. Perhaps it’s because there’s no end to what you can make with the sweet and savory squash. Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin pie — if it has pumpkin in it, you can be sure the dish will be good. And the best part is, these

Metal braces fit with neon rubber bands (aka my middle-school vibe) aren’t the only teeth-straightening option nowadays. And as someone looking for a slightly subtler aligner, I’m thrilled. What’s hard is deciding between a mail-in retainer and an orthodontist-prescribed option. To the untrained eye, mail-in aligners and orthodontic offerings seem similar, but cosmetic and restorative

This week, Chris Hemsworth blessed Instagram with a series of mini-meditations featuring the Aussie actor reciting affirmations in different gorgeous, scenic locations. Hilariously titled “Affirmations That Positively, Absolutely, Probably (Most Likely) Won’t Make Your 2020 Worse,” the humorous videos were actually promoting Hemsworth’s fitness app Centr, which offers real meditations. I decided to try the

We’ve always been big fans of Peloton’s fitness content, but it feels like the brand has exploded in popularity this year, thanks in part to its extensive library of at-home workouts. Peloton has proven that an at-home sweat session does not lack intensity, and the platform truly has something for every kind of exerciser. Whether

I’m making up for the lack of Halloween happy hours and costume parties this year by stocking my freezer with fall-inspired dairy-free ice creams — I figure they’ll pair perfectly with spooky-movie marathons. You won’t be surprised to see pumpkin made this list — it’s a rite of passage — but, the autumnal classic isn’t

Since many of us are relying on at-home workouts to get our exercise in right now, a yoga mat is a practical item to invest in. However, just because it’s a functional piece of fitness gear, doesn’t mean it can’t also be a beautiful addition to your home decor. With the variety of patterns and

COVID-19 is without a doubt one of the most pressing issues in the 2020 election. President Donald Trump has had months to show the country how he’s handling the pandemic. But what about his opponent, Joe Biden? If elected, Biden has said he’ll take the following steps to slow the spread of COVID-19 and ensure

I couldn’t text “Yes” fast enough when a friend sent out a mass text to our group offering up her medicine ball to any eager home gym takers. Lucky for me, my eagerness paid off, and I snagged the secondhand medicine ball to round out my home gym a little more. There was one problem:

When you think of climbing, you may be focused on the strength and muscle building that goes into it. And it’s easy to do: Some of the main aspects of climbing require you to lift and hoist your own body weight. But, strength isn’t the only thing required of a climber — being agile and

With the Instant Pot in our lives, gone are the days when we were required to stand at the stove and oven for hours on end. Instead, we simply throw everything into the appliance and wait for our meals to be finished in record time. What did we ever do deserve such a glorious invention?

I have a love-hate relationship with ab exercises. I know that in performing them I’m strengthening my core, which is beneficial to runners, helps improve my posture, and generally makes me stronger. But as good as I feel in the moment of my ab exercises, I almost always feel it the next day. And as

When it comes to working those quads, glutes, and hamstrings, there’s hardly a more ideal movement to perform than the lunge. With many different types of lunge variations, this is a truly versatile exercise that engages some of the larger muscle groups in the legs. Plus, when done properly over time — we’re talking about

Grab a pen and paper and take a seat, dear reader, because Lizzo is getting real. Over the weekend, David Letterman’s third season of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction dropped on Netflix and featured interviews with Kim Kardashian, Dave Chappelle, Robert Downey Jr., and Lizzo. It’s a strange concept, an interview in a celebrity’s

Home workouts are like that staple bag you never want to leave without — no matter what you’ve been through, you can trust they’ll hold the contents of your day in place (they’re supportive, is what we’re trying to say). Thanks to YouTube, there’s a wide range of videos online that can help you attain

We’re not picky — we’ll take our workouts through whatever medium we can get them. Written? Definitely. One-on-one with a trainer? Of course. YouTube? . . . Duh. Instagram and YouTube Live? Sign us up. In fact, we’re continuing our series of live workouts this week over on @popsugarfitness and our YouTube channel, and you’re
