Kyla Ross knows how to attain that elusive perfect 10 in collegiate gymnastics — she received the most 10.00s in the 2019 NCAA season.

Fitness looks different for everyone — we move differently, adapt to training differently, even sweat differently — so the clothing that supports us should follow suit. Target is bringing an all-new inclusive activewear line to stores. It’s called “All in Motion,” and it’s for-real affordable for more body types. The women’s apparel will range from

Netflix’s Spinning Out isn’t exactly a meticulously-researched sports drama, but that doesn’t mean the show is void of any references to the real world of figure skating.

My last Facebook post reads, “Taking a social media break to focus on real life.” I wrote that several weeks ago, and I’m happy to report I have mostly held firm in my commitment to unplug. I’m not surprised how much better I feel since I started my social media hiatus. The idea to abstain

I’m a good sleeper until I get stressed. Instead of quickly nodding off to my soothing white noise machine, I’ll lie awake for an hour thinking about everything I have to do, then wake up from stress dreams. Instead of sleeping straight until my alarm, I’ll bolt awake in panic, hours early, for no apparent

Menstrual cups shouldn’t hurt, but to ensure yours fits comfortably, you’ll need to figure out which size and shape works best for your body, even if that means trying a few different cups in the process.

I’ve had a cell phone since I was 11. I know — let that sink in for a second. Post 9/11, my parents wanted to make sure my brother and I had a way to get in touch with them in case of emergencies, so for the past decade and a half, I’ve had a

With every January comes the New Year’s gym rush — that means accepting the reality of crowded machines and inevitably lingering around your favorite treadmill before it’s available. On the days when you’re tight on time, though, you could push your coffee table aside and opt for an at-home cardio workout instead. If you’re leaning

Sometimes in the pursuit of a healthy diet we assume beef is bad and should be removed entirely from our usual meal routine. But that isn’t always the case — cooking with lean beef can be a healthy decision that won’t limit or restrict your diet. Lean beef is packed full of nutritional and necessary

Miley Cyrus‘s sound changed a lot over the years, as did her style, hair, and love interests. There were her pop-meets-occasional-hints-of-hidden-angst days during Hannah Montana (anyone else dance wildly around their bedroom to “7 Things” and “Fly on the Wall”?!).
