Weight Loss

For two-time World Cup and Olympic champion Carli Lloyd, the seasons aren’t the only thing that will be changing come Summer. For her and the rest of the women on USA’s soccer team, their coach, Vlatko Andonovski, has the difficult task of trimming them down to 18 players — including two goalkeepers — prior to

As someone who has struggled with mental illness for most of my adult life, I’ve gotten a great deal of unsolicited advice. I’ve been told that I can choose to be happy and that I should “just relax” more times than I can count, and though I realize people aren’t trying to be insensitive, these

Throughout the course of my fitness journey, I’ve been through a lot of phases. I was never particularly athletic and didn’t play any sports in high school, so at 16, I signed up for my first gym membership to stay active. At the time, I was under the impression that lifting weights would make me

Naomi Osaka is taking her topspin to television! On Feb. 12, it was announced that a documentary series about the 22-year-old Grand Slam champion will soon be coming to Netflix. According to a press release, the documentary “gives audiences a deep window into the life of a global tennis star” with “unprecedented access” to her

Most birth control pills contain two hormones, estrogen and progesterone, which work in combination to stop ovulation and prevent pregnancy. Usually when someone is on “the pill,” that’s what they’re taking — but some people opt for a progestin-only pill, also known as the minipill. There are many reasons a doctor might recommend a progestin-only

I knew I had a problem when my son was entering into toddlerhood, and I was still struggling with what I had always assumed was postpartum depression. I thought the hopelessness I was feeling would go away on its own, but I was wrong. Eventually, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, and from the

As a registered dietitian, I’m constantly trying to sneak in nutrition wherever I can, without giving up the flavors I love. So, while I try to limit sugar in my diet, I still need something to cook with, bake with, and use as a condiment when I’m craving something sweet. In my home, that’s pure

No matter how well things are going, every single person encounters stressors and stressful situations, ranging from mild annoyances to the types of anxieties that keep you up at night. Another universal truth: some coping mechanisms are decidedly healthier than others (like going for a run instead of immediately opening a bottle of wine). Whether

Cucumbers have never really done it for me. Sure, they’re great chopped up in salads and delightful when pickled, but this fruit — made almost entirely of water — has never played a starring role in my diet. Because of this, you can imagine my surprise when I learned that cucumber juice is gaining popularity

First we added nut milk, then we added butter, and now the world may have just gone mad with the addition of mushroom coffee. I’ll be the first to admit that it sounds gross, but let me explain why I decided to try it. The mushrooms in question are actually a new kind of “magic”

I’ve never been the kind of person who can pull an all nighter, then power through the day with just a cup of coffee and a good pair of sunglasses. If I don’t sleep, I don’t function — it’s as simple as that. In some ways, I find waking up in the middle of the

Alex Morgan is currently seven months pregnant and taking time off from the US Women’s National Soccer Team, but of course that’s not stopping her from being the most supportive teammate around. The team recently competed in — and won — the Concacaf Olympic Qualifying tournament, securing their spot at the 2020 Summer Olympics and

I thought it was just your normal, average, post-race soreness. I’ve run nine half-marathons (give or take) and my feet usually hurt for a few days afterwards. I take my mandated two weeks off from running and things are usually fine. Key word: usually. When I toed the starting line in November 2019, I’d been

Until only recently, I kept a big aspect of my anxiety hidden from the world because I was deathly afraid of the consequences I would suffer if I talked about it. I was already fearful of the judgment I may experience from opening up about my anxiety, but this was huge. What if people thought

It’s tough enough to work out in the Winter without having to consider your outfit. You need something that will keep you warm but also feel breathable because, sweat. So, when picking your pair of pants, you want to think about either thick leggings, joggers, or sweatpants. Yes, sweatpants to work out in. It might

Who doesn’t have 12 minutes to get sculpted arms and a toned core? Fitness trainer Amy Rosoff Davis, who has gotten celebrities like Selena Gomez in top shape, is in the studio. Get fit with her at home in less time than it takes to pack your gym bag! Grab a mat and follow along

Admit it: you couldn’t help but jump up and dance when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez took the stage for their glorious halftime show extravaganza (here, watch the performance again, you know you want to). They brought the power and heart-pounding beats of Latinx music to the world’s biggest stage, and viewers couldn’t get enough. If

Let me just start with a few disclaimers, because I know a few of you are already mad at me just based on the headline alone. I agreed to try the keto diet in early 2018 as a POPSUGAR editor experiment — not because I needed to for medical or weight-loss reasons. The goal was

Society tells us that we should only be comfortable wearing a swimsuit if we have the “perfect body.” We always hear about how we should be working on our beach bodies and slimming down to get ready to rock our swimsuits. Well, I’m over it. A few years ago, I decided I was done wearing

Fresh off a dominant performance at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the US women’s soccer team will have yet another opportunity to prove themselves on the world stage: this time at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. With a 4-0 finish over Mexico in the semifinals of the Concacaf Women’s Olympic Qualifying tournament, the

Does the thought of adding color to your workout wardrobe send shivers down your spine? Us too. An all-black look adds a certain power and edge to whatever we’re doing. So, while we’re all about black leggings and tanks, the look isn’t complete without a pair of black sneakers. Whether you’re going for a run,

If there’s one song we can’t get out of our heads right now, it’s “Dance Monkey.” We’ve been replaying this fun cardio dance workout set to the snappy Tones and I track, and now fitness YouTuber Maddie Lymburner has chimed in with a “Dance Monkey” ab workout that’s bound to put a smile on your

Lili Reinhart has been candid about her mental health and her personal struggles with her body image in the past, using her own experiences to encourage others to be confident in who they are. On Thursday, a Twitter follower asked Reinhart why she and her Riverdale costars all seemed to have “perfectly chiseled bodies.” “Don’t

It’s safe to say I’m a snacking aficionado; I can’t go a day without some kind of afternoon snack. As someone who prioritizes healthy eating but still has a substantial sweet tooth, I’ve found a few great options that satisfy my cravings and still make me feel like I’m nourishing my body. Plus, I’m all

Two weeks into the new year, the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA), the current union for women in basketball, announced that they had reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The eight-year deal will, after ratification by the league’s Board of Governors, commence with the start of the 2020 season and

When I watched Shakira’s powerful Super Bowl halftime performance, a thought crossed my mind: “I wish I could move like that.” Well, lucky for me, and anyone else who wants honest hips, the “She Wolf” singer dropped a dance tutorial on Feb. 4 to help fans learn choreography — the champeta, specifically. Champeta is a

If leggings aren’t high-waisted, we probably aren’t buying them. The style is so perfect because it holds you in, doesn’t ride down and expose anything, and also looks great with just a sports bra or crop top. Plus, we find high-waisted leggings to be the most comfortable styles. Since there’s always room in your closet

We can always count on Billie Eilish to keep it unwaveringly real, and she did just that in her first-ever American Vogue cover story interview. The 18-year-old musician opened up to the publication about her historic Grammys wins (ICYMI, she became the youngest artist to win awards in the four biggest categories) and the “rule-breaker”

Storm Reid knows that when Beyoncé gives you workout clothes, you work out in them. The 16-year-old Euphoria star shared a few Instagram videos of herself on Tuesday breaking in her new Ivy Park x Adidas leggings and sports bra — courtesy of Beyoncé herself — and she was not messing around. In the videos,
