Weight Loss

While it’s rare, it is possible for an IUD to fall out or become dislodged. “The most common reason is anatomy,” Amir G Nasseri, MD, FACOG, told POPSUGAR. “The IUD is a small device that’s shaped like a T and fits inside the uterine cavity. The IUD itself only comes in one size, but uteri

Whether you’re prepping for a brisk morning jog or driving to the gym in a car that takes 10 minutes to warm up, step one of working out in Winter is dressing in the proper gear. The right clothing and shoes will protect your muscles and joints from low temps, snowy conditions, and harsh winds,

I distinctly remember doing approximately three things before my high school senior prom: daily ab workouts from a fitness app, lying outside weekly before gymnastics practices despite the Spring weather (please use proper SPF!), and a 30-day squat challenge courtesy of the internet. The particular squat challenge I did was a near-full month of basic

We’ve all fallen victim to Netflix binges — seven episodes deep into The Office, your body begins sending achy signals to snap out of your trance, ditch the blanket, and get moving. As easy as it is to ignore these messages, don’t. Pesky neck, shoulder, and back tension will only build as you approach the

Like many people, I grew up unabashedly listening to boy bands. Sure, I had a life-size cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber in the room I shared with my sister, but I loved pop groups, too, like One Direction (RIP), Jonas Brothers (welcome back!), and NSYNC (did I kiss Justin Timberlake goodbye before school every morning

I’m a worrier, but bedtime is when I used to worry the most. I’d lie awake and think about everything I had to do the next day. Once I fretted my way through that list, it was on to worrying about anything that could possibly go wrong during the nighttime hours. One of the kids

We love Sarah Hyland‘s approach to fitness. The Modern Family actress is all about feeling strong and confident in her body, and the workout content she posts to her fitness Instagram Story reflect that: one challenging exercise after another, focused on building muscle and feeling good. Because for Sarah, workouts aren’t all about physical gains;

There I was on my living room couch, sitting up straight with my hands resting at my side and my attention focused on my breath. I looked like a stock photo image for meditation, and I might as well have been, because everything about this felt staged. I wasn’t meditating at all, but trying to

Whether you’re traveling for the holidays or staying put, sweat sessions might not be high on your list of priorities (nor should they be). But, following along to dance cardio routines on YouTube is a fun way to bring your heart rate up when you’re short on time. The Fitness Marshall is all about entertaining

Buying gifts and making travel plans all while managing your mental health can be quite the beast to take on this holiday season. But no matter how busy you are — or what you’re going through — getting in a quick Tabata session or full-body BBG Beginner workout from Kayla Itsines can help take the

We’re down to the wire here — the holidays are upon us! Have you left your shopping to the last minute? Not to worry — we’re here to help. Many of our favorite retailers have great deals on last-minute shipping, and there are some that even let you shop online and pick up in store.

Every year, millions of Americans set out to tackle their resolutions. Losing weight often tops the list, but by February, our willpower begins to fade, and suddenly, it isn’t so hard to find an open machine at the gym. Most of us abandon our resolutions before they’re accomplished, myself included. But this year, I’m doing

The holidays may be the most wonderful time of the year, but with your calendar double- and triple-booked with parties, booze flowing freely, and tempting treats at every turn, it’s also the most challenging time to stay on track with your fitness goals. That’s why most people gain one to two pounds over the last

If you’re actively having sex, you’ve probably heard that you should pee after if you want to avoid a urinary tract infection (UTI), because while barrier methods like condoms can help protect you against many sexually transmitted infections, not even they can shield you from the painful, burning symptoms of a UTI. That’s because the

Nothing is worse than waking up in the middle of the night, sweating as if you’ve just run a marathon, and needing to climb out of bed to change your pajamas and sheets before you try (try!) to drift back to sleep. But that’s exactly what 10 to 60 percent of the population experiences each

Winter workouts are an interesting contrast. Never does getting hot and sweaty feel better than when you’ve been shivering all day, but who wants to leave the house when it’s icy, freezing, and gray outside? Get the inspiration you need to make it to your workout class — even when it feels almost impossible to

It’s time to take your yoga practice and your enthusiasm for holiday festivities to a whole new, mesmerizing level. Grab some twinkly string lights, assume your favorite yoga pose, wrap said lights all around your balanced body (you may need some assistance from a fellow yogi), and boom — you can’t get more into the

Noah Cyrus says she’s struggled with anxiety and depression since she was 10 or 11 years old. She’s done advocacy work for mental health organizations like The Crystal Campaign and The Jed Foundation (JED). Now, she’s speaking up on behalf of Seize the Awkward, a campaign from the Ad Council, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

There’s nothing worse than opening the fridge only to find that your lettuce has turned slimy. But keeping greens crisp and fresh all week can be difficult, which is especially tricky because I like to eat salads for lunch. They’re super easy to make ahead and, of course, really good for you. Usually I’ll cook

Believe it or not, there are Instagram accounts that promote self-care. Likewise, some mental health professionals have taken to social media to destigmatize therapy — as we’ve reported on in the past, young people especially seek out help for reasons such as panic and anxiety disorders, trauma, and toxic relationships. But, just because therapists have

I’ve been on the fitness train for more than five years now, but I made a lot of pitstops getting to this point. Because as we all know, making lasting changes takes time. When I first began working out, it felt like a chore. My body always ached, and I tried to find reasons to

This year will be remembered as the year I went from not owning sweatpants to mentally designing outfits around matching tonal sweatsuits. In my defense, sweatpants and sweatshirts have come a long way in 2019. They went from being the universal sign that you can’t be bothered to get dressed to being a cozy, modern

For some, the holiday season brings constant, welcome entertainment: a month filled to the brim with festive work parties, Friendsgiving and Secret Santa brunches with friends, nonstop travel, and family gatherings galore. While all the music, gift giving, and delicious food make for a decidedly great time, many of us may find the social overload

Congratulations: it’s a freezing Winter day, and you’ve still motivated yourself to run outside! You’re dedicated, you’re committed, you’re a polar god or goddess. Now: how are you going to survive? Cold runs are tough for a couple of reasons. Obviously, it’s cold out there and that’s uncomfortable, especially when you’re running, generating wind, and

Hope Solo is welcoming not one but two new players to her team: she’s pregnant with twins! The former USWNT goalie made the announcement live during Monday’s broadcast of Weekend Winners, a soccer show she co-hosts on BeIN Sports. “My husband and I get to practice equality from the very beginning with one boy and

Let’s be honest: some of us, myself included, need more than a few fitness goals to stay motivated in the gym. The simplest way to stave off burnout, in my opinion? Pacing your workouts to a killer playlist. If you like to do the same, you’ve come to the right place, because we’ve rounded up

Cute animals plus yoga is a combination made in heaven, as far as we’re concerned, which is probably why we’re both laughing at and loving this adorable Llama Yoga 2020 Calendar ($10). Yep, you heard that right: all your favorite poses from yoga class, all demoed by everyone’s favorite furry pack animal. I mean, just

For as long as I can remember, my new year’s resolutions have revolved around weight loss. Whether I committed to joining a gym or fitting into size 8 pants, the sentiment was the same: I wanted to look like other girls my age. The thing is, I never followed through — and when I sat

While many Elves on the Shelf are mischievous with an excessive sweet tooth, pounding Froot Loops and marshmallows while washing it down with containers of maple syrup, some Elves are trying to look and feel their best by showing their healthy side. Check out these fit-minded Elves — they just might inspire the kiddos to

We spend about one third of our lives sleeping — for stomach snoozers, that’s an insane amount of face-to-pillow contact. That’s why I’ve recently become obsessed with pillow health. I’m not talking about wrinkle prevention like everyone else, either. What really makes my skin crawl is how dirty the inside of a pillow can get.
