We’re in awe of pretty much anything Simone Biles does, and we’ll take any excuse to feel like her for a minute, even if we can barely touch our toes. She’s recently started a partnership with Athleta, one of our favorite workout brands, and has shared her top picks from the line. Reader, they’re definitely

If you’re reading this, thank yourself for at least being curious in the ways in which you can take some time to take care of yourself. When it comes to learning a new method of self-care (like yoga and breathwork), being able to see yourself in your teacher can be the thing that opens a

We teamed up with Under Armour to help women everywhere tap into their unbeatable confidence. I’ve been a loyal outdoor runner for years. Truth be told, I always thought my preference for outdoor training was, well, a preference. But, it turns out there’s a bit of science behind why my outdoor workouts outperform my gym-bound

Caroline Marks is quickly earning her spot as one of the most inspirational and all around badass women athletes in the world. The American pro surfer has clenched too many titles and championships to list in one sentence — 2020 Super Girl Pro champion and second overall in the 2019 World Surf League (WSL), to

Where to begin? It’s been two whole years since Katelyn Ohashi graduated from UCLA, and she’s devoting her time to photography, writing, and brand partnerships she’s proud of. “There’s not one thing that I don’t enjoy doing, and it’s a really exciting life to live,” Ohashi told POPSUGAR. After graduation, she didn’t have the sort

No matter how you choose to get in some movement every day, you deserve to reward yourself. Maybe you jogged around your neighborhood or completed a muscle-toning yoga flow — perhaps you just took a leisurely walk with a friend! Whatever form of fitness fits your personality, you should celebrate putting in the work and

Some days it’s easy to hop on your Peloton bike and start pedaling, other days you’re left wishing Peloton instructor Ally Love‘s bubbly energy could just rub off on you already.

It seems like this year’s allergy season is never-ending in our house, stretching out for months. If you’re also in the same boat, it isn’t just your imagination. POPSUGAR talked to two allergy experts and confirmed that not only are pollen counts higher this year, but they will also continue to rise. According to Kara

I’m one of those people who struggles to spend money on athletic clothes. Even though I work out every day (sometimes more than once), there’s something about spending money on activewear that keeps me from updating my severely in-need-of-updating fitness wardrobe. A $100 dress that I’ll wear once, maybe twice? No problem, here’s my debit

This summer, we’re all about bike shorts. Not only are they great options for when the temperature heats up and you’re engaging in some sweaty workouts, they’re also amazing basics. When you’re going back out into the world, and are wondering how to put together an outfit, bike shorts are a great athleisure in between

What I love about jump-rope workouts is that they are not only a great way to stay in shape, but they are also incredibly convenient. All you need are your workout shoes and a jump rope. During the pandemic, when gyms and fitness studios were closed, I took up jumping rope as an easy way

If you’re trying to eat more simply for health, to lose weight, or to ease digestive issues, you may want to eat a plant-based diet that’s free of grains. How boring, you may be thinking, but it’s not boring if you make scrumptious recipes like brownies, sweet potato tofu scramble, and cauliflower pizza. Made with

Olivia Smoliga walked out on deck at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships, looked up at the crowd, and felt the nerves hit. It was strange — she’d swam in front of huge crowds before, including at the Rio 2016 Olympics, where she won a gold in the 4×100 medley relay. But for some reason, it

If you’re heading back to in-person workout classes, keep an eye out for Joe Jonas — he might be crashing your next session. Recently, the singer decided to make a surprise appearance at a SoulCycle class in Atlanta, and no one was more surprised than the stunned instructor. “When you’ve got an off day in

Under Armour’s 2021 Pride collection — United We Win — is here! According to promotional materials, each piece was designed by their LGBTQ+ teammate resource group, UNIFIED. The handwriting and drawings on select items in this collection were inspired by the “original Pride march in 1970.” UNIFIED’s commerce lead RJ Mansfield said, “We used everyone’s

For as long as I’ve been getting my period, I have almost exclusively used tampons to manage my flow, save for a panty liner on particularly light days. They have certainly served me well (I rarely deal with leaks!), but I’ve been interested in switching to, or at least trying, a menstrual disc for a

Olympic diving is strength, flexibility, and gracefulness all wrapped into one amazing sport. The way divers can spin and twist and contort their bodies in the air makes it beyond inspiring, and when you see how they train out of the water, you’ll have even more appreciation for these athletes. Watch these video of dry-land

Cuteness overload! Check out these adorable photos of Serena Williams’s daughter, Olympia, wearing a mini version of her mother’s Australian Open outfit.

Periods are a natural, healthy part of our monthly cycles, yet we’re often made to feel ashamed and embarrassed of them, even as grown adults. That’s always disturbed Nadya Okamoto, who, since 2014, has fought to destigmatize periods and end period poverty through her nonprofit, Period, where she led young activists in increasing the accessibility

If you’re trying to lose weight but you’re so over cooking, you’re in good company. While it’s true that people who eat home-prepared meals tend to eat fewer calories, it’s much easier to nuke a microwavable meal or pick up takeout, especially on busy weeknights. There’s no shortage of healthy recipes that help support weight

This season, we plan on spending as much time outside as humanely possible, and we’re looking for some fun summer activities that will get us moving. That’s why the idea of a summertime bike ride feels especially appealing right about now. If that appeals to you as well, get yourself a cute cruiser bike, and

It usually happens when all the lights are off. Let me set the scene for you: I’m sprawled out on the couch or on my bed, covered in blankets, and finally relaxing at the end of a long day with my phone, TV, or modern romance novel to keep me company, when suddenly — boom!

Now’s the time to take your run outside: the weather is gorgeous, and if you want to get some fresh air, there’s no better way to do it than by moving your body. When we’re working out, we want lightweight, breathable gear that doesn’t weigh us down or make us feel any sweatier than we

Odicci Alexander had a Women’s College World Series (WCWS) to remember. The James Madison University (JMU) pitcher threw 64.2 innings as the underdog Dukes made a dream run through college softball’s championship tournament, defeating four teams in the top 10 and one team in the top 25 and becoming the first non-seeded team to ever

We all dread standing in line to check a bag at the airport, and the worst is having to pay an extra baggage fee. Well, now imagine traveling with a set of fiberglass poles stretching up to 17 feet long, in a protective case that can weigh up to 100 pounds. You can easily spend

Coco Gauff advanced to the quarterfinals of the French Open with her victory over Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur, a big step forward for a young player looking to win her first Grand Slam. Even better?
