Although this common exercise is known for its all-in-one ability to work the arms, shoulders, abs, back, and legs, push-ups are hard to do accurately —

Lying in bed, heart racing, my thoughts are crowded with things I didn’t get done that day. I forgot to switch the laundry, again, I never responded to that email, and did I lock the front door? Sometimes, my anxiety is so bad that I have trouble falling asleep for hours. Other times, I wake

I’ve always had a million reasons for wanting to try kickboxing: it’s high-energy, a fun mix of cardio and strength training, it targets muscles I generally avoid (cough, cough — anything having to do with arms), and to be honest, it’s trendy reputation piqued my interest, too. When gyms shut down, all of those reasons

Reverse lunges, yoga poses, family walks, and other light- to medium-impact exercises are great to do during pregnancy (and, honestly, at all other times).

Years ago, my mom was kind enough to make me a homemade heating pad — a fabric tube filled with rice that I could pop in the microwave whenever my period cramps were out of control. It was a huge step up from my electric heating pad, which required me to sit near an outlet

When I received a sample of Cymbiotika Synergy Liposomal Vitamin C ($59) — a liquid supplement that can be added to water, juice, yogurt, or your favorite blended beverage — I figured it was worth a try.

I’ll be honest: I resent buying maternity clothes and try to avoid these purchases at all costs. It’s frustrating to spend money on items that are limited use (and usually not very stylish!), and shelter-in-place has made it easy to wear and rewear the same few dresses and leggings over and over again.
