Since the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) is recommending all Americans wear some kind of face covering when out in public, we’re stocking up on all the comfortable options we can find. At the moment, we’re interested in washable face masks that have a filter pocket. They’re reusable, which is awesome, and as long as

While anyone can contract the coronavirus, the question of whether you’ll get a severe case of COVID-19 is on a lot of our minds. The CDC estimates that 40 percent of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic, and while that means you can still spread the virus and be in danger of the long-term side-effects, it goes

Treadmills make running convenient — even more so when you’ve got a machine in your home and bad weather is threatening your workout schedule. It’s also true that running on a treadmill can be a little boring, especially if you’re the type of person that finds running monotonous. But, introducing interval training, like fartlek training,

As a teenager, my periods were excruciating and irregular. I was blindsided with crippling cramps, so intense that I’d have to miss school or leave my after-school job — sometimes I’d even vomit. The thing was, I never knew when it was going to come, so the pain was always a surprise, and I was

The 2020 US Open commenced on Aug. 31 — minus the crowd. Though the atmosphere at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center grounds is quieter than usual, some players are speaking up more loudly than ever in the face of racial injustice and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Naomi Osaka,

Naomi Osaka has officially added a third Grand Slam to her list of accolades — and her second US Open singles title. On Sept. 12, the 22-year-old tennis player representing Japan, who was ranked ninth in the world going into this tournament, won against Belarus’s Victoria Azarenka, age 31 and ranked 27th. The final score

Sometimes we learn about things from the most unexpected places. Netflix’s emotional series Away shines light on a very real medical condition, called cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM). On screen, the disorder is a major plot point and a life-altering condition for Emma’s husband Matt (Josh Charles). In real life, it can be just as serious.

Most of us are familiar with the feeling of a throbbing headache, the pain right at the temples that makes you want to close your eyes, take some ibuprofen, and maybe sleep it off. We tend to brush off these common afflictions with nothing more than “oh, it’s just a headache,” but what if it’s

With many of us still doing the whole work from home sit-at-our-desk-all-day (or couch . . . or bed . . .) thing, it’s not surprising a lot of us have started to feel a bit tense in the neck and back. Slumping over a desk is a common cause of neck and back pain,

Regardless if you’re a fan of working from home, it’s the norm for many for the foreseeable future, and we’ve all started to adjust to new routines. That means sleeping in a few extra minutes because your commute is gone, only planning Zoom outfits from the waist up, and creating makeshift desks in whatever room

I can’t remember a time I didn’t feel worried about something. As a child I fixated on issues both real and imagined, from the single question I’d answered incorrectly on a test to how I might escape my bedroom if the house caught on fire during the night. It was like my brain was trying

Ever feel like after a run, you just want a little something more that won’t necessarily make you break a sweat? Or, are you pretty flexible (thanks, downward dogs), but feel like you’re lacking agility, stability, or strength? Mobility sequences will help you to develop stability and strength at the end of your flexibility range,

Just got your flu shot and wondering if it’s safe to push through your usual workout? Your arm might be sore for a couple days, but that’s no reason to avoid going for a run. “There is no danger in returning to regular activities after the flu vaccine, including exercise,” Carolyn Kaloostian, MD, MPH, a

If you’re looking to make some booty gains in 2020, you know how important the right leggings are. They need to be stretchy, high waisted, and definitely not see-through. How can you tell what’s the best fit? An easy trick is to put your hand inside the legging; if you can see your fingers, that

There is perhaps no greater source of disdain for me than shopping for sports bras. I love to work out and could shop for leggings, tanks, and sneakers for hours, but when it comes to bras, I’m usually disappointed. For context, I’ve got a larger chest but a smaller ribcage, and I love to do

Sweat drips down my face and lower back. My muscles are shaky; my breathing is shallow and unsteady. The only thing getting me through this intense workout? Lizzo‘s “Good as Hell” blasting through my AirPods. Lizzo doesn’t know it, but she has gotten me through some challenging squats, impossible runs, and the ever-dreaded burpees. So

When your birth control fails, the morning-after pill is often the most reliable way to prevent an unplanned pregnancy — but that largely depends on where you are in your cycle. Jill Krapf, MD, a board-certified ob-gyn in Washington, DC, explained that you’re most likely to get pregnant in the five days leading up to

Growing up in the early 2000s, some kids had their Saturday morning ritual of watching cartoons over a bowl of Froot Loops. My brothers and I, on the other hand, preferred scarfing down our Froot Loops before playing one of Tony Hawk‘s Pro Skater video games for hours on end. Almost every weekend, like clockwork,

Over the last few years, the keto diet has skyrocketed in popularity, probably for one very distinct reason: it encourages you to eat satisfying, fatty foods. The only major caveat is that you have to keep your carb intake low. Offsetting this difficult task, however, is the keto diet’s allowance of another beloved food group:

The coronavirus outbreak is disrupting many a fitness routine, ours included, and has many of us wondering whether social-distancing, shelter-in-place, and mask-wearing protocols extend to outdoor running and walking. Guidelines are changing fast, so let us catch you up on the latest. First and foremost, exercising outside, whether you’re walking, running, or doing a bodyweight

Naomi Osaka won her first 2020 US Open match (sans the crowd) against fellow Japanese tennis player Misaki Doi 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 late Monday night. While entering and exiting the court in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Osaka donned a face mask with Breonna Taylor’s name printed on the front, paying tribute to the 26-year-old emergency room

If you suffer from the uncomfortable pressure or pain from bloating or cramps when your period visits for the month, registered dietitian nutritionist Carlie Beaucejour shared these three nutrition tips on her Instagram page @mindfuleatingdietitian. Eat calcium-rich foods: It’s a “mineral that can help reduce muscle spasms and cramps,” Beaucejour said; she recommends eating yogurt,

My birthday is Aug. 25, and I celebrated it this year by lighting my favorite Anthropologie Capri Blue Pumpkin Clove candle ($16), turning on the AC just so I could wear a cozy sweater, and drinking a sugar-free pumpkin spice latte. Yes, I know, Aug. 25 is still “technically” summer, but we’re six months into

Pointed toes, colorful tutus, strong legs and arms holding practically impossible poses while still looking incredibly graceful — yeah, ballerinas are basically superheroes with even more amazing outfits! Like many young children, I grew up dreaming of being a ballerina. Now, I showcase my appreciation for this art form by taking barre classes and watching

Navarro cheer’s Lexi Brumback and Gabi Butler are back in action in Corsicana, TX, already preparing for the 2021 NCA & NDA Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship in Daytona, FL.

Sometimes it can be hard to keep track of all the different types of training methods out there and why they even deserve a spot in your workout routine. But if joint health and preventing joint injuries are top concerns though (and they should be!), it’s worth adding mobility training to your fitness vocabulary. According

Aldi’s keto bread keeps flying off the shelves. Debuting last year, the L’Oven Fresh Zero Net Carb Bread is back at the grocery store known for stocking so many delicious foods — if you can get your hands on a loaf before it sells out (really, it’s that popular). These loaves of bread have zero

The core is the star of most Pilates sessions — it’s true — but refocusing your attention to your arm strength could help you break through a Pilates plateau. According to certified Pilates instructor and founding kuudose expert Keisa Parrish, the strength of your arms won’t make or break you while taking a virtual Pilates
