As much as I love workout videos, there comes a point when your old favorite gets a little repetitive. And look, I’ve been known to follow the same videos for years on end; looking at you, Insanity and Jake DuPree from Class FitSugar. But even when the workouts themselves were still challenging, at some point

It can be difficult to know what’s normal and what’s not when it comes to your period. Is it possible to bleed too much or even too little? How long should your period last, and is it a problem if it hangs around longer? Here’s what I can tell you as a practicing ob-gyn: menses

Santa knows you’re on the nice list, so treat yourself before the holiday madness starts and throw these into your Amazon cart ASAP. Although many of these items are in men’s

I’ve never been the one to purchase a meal plan and actually stick with it. There were a couple times where I spent a significant amount of money on “healthy” premade frozen meals, and ended up not enjoying what I was eating. In my mind, premade frozen food never tasted good, and it actually kind

If one of the things you miss most on the keto diet is Sunday brunches stacked high with syrupy waffles, good news: a cheesy, keto-friendly waffle has taken the internet by storm, and it’s so easy to make. You only need about 10 minutes, two ingredients, and a waffle maker. That’s it. You probably already

Protein bars are the gifts that keep on giving, at least for me; they’re the presents I give myself during my workdays for fuel or after my workouts to help my muscles recover. And, there’s nothing better than bars that tip their hats to the changing seasons and familiar, almost whimsical feeling of home, especially

“I hear it ever single day: ‘My problem is at night — I just can’t stop eating!'” registered dietitian Lauren Cadillac, CLT, CPT, wrote on Instagram. She posted the above graphic of the perpetual cycle that overeating can turn into. It typically goes something like this: You restrict yourself during the day because you’re too

Simone Biles is already known as the GOAT in the gymnastics world, but I wasn’t prepared for the badassery she brought to the baseball field. The 22-year-old Olympic athlete threw the first pitch at game two of the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals on Oct. 23, and she added her

I’ve learned that, despite not being that much of a dancer, dance cardio workouts at home are effective. They can make you break a sweat and are a great alternative to embarrassing yourself at Zumba (yes, I know from experience). Plus, it’s an excuse to spike your heart rate while jamming to some of your

If you’re not shy about dipping your spoon straight into the peanut butter jar, you need to make this simple five-ingredient peanut butter smoothie. It’s high in protein — offering 30 grams — but low in carbs with just 16.5 grams. Made with unsweetened dairy-free milk, unsweetened peanut butter powder (we love Crazy Richard’s made

When Fall hits, it’s time to say goodbye to our beloved outdoor workouts and take things inside. Or is it? Sometimes, the crisp air feels really refreshing, so all you need is the right gear to continue your outdoor workouts. Plus, as much as we love the gym, it can be nice to take a

Tom Brady is in his 20th NFL season, and in order to perform at his best he’s got to put in work during his training sessions, fuel his body properly, and make sure that he’s doing recovery work. To stay at the top of his game, Tom trains with Alex Guerrero, the co-founder of TB12,

There’s no reason you can’t enjoy some pumpkin-spice-flavored goodness on a low-carb diet. While you might have to pass on a PSL, pumpkin itself is moderately low-carb — and when it comes to baked goods like pumpkin breads and muffins, low-carb sweeteners and flours are all you need to indulge in that yummy flavor without

After my son accidentally sneezed directly in my face while doing some AcroYoga, within two days, I was whipping out the tissues and, of course, my trusty neti pot. When I quickly realized that I was out of the little salt packets that came with mine, I went over to my spice cabinet to see

Hearing the words “breast cancer” from a doctor can be terrifying, but it’s a reality one in eight women in the US will face during their lifetime. What’s even more frustrating is that there’s only so much you can do to reduce your risk, because while habits like diet and exercise play a role, there

Carbs aren’t the only cause of belly fat, but if you eat a lot of them, they can certainly play a role. “If you eat any type of macronutrient in excess, you will gain weight,” Robert Milanes, MD, founder of Luminary MD in Irvine, CA, told POPSUGAR. Still, the way carbs are digested makes them

Get ready for lattes! Trader Joe must’ve heard our pleas and prayers because the grocery store is now selling its own version of oat milk. According to Instagram user @bethanybuysthings, you can find both a refrigerated and a shelf-stable dairy-free Oat Beverage on shelves now. My morning smoothie is so ready! Now, it’s time to

If there’s one thing 2019 has delivered on, it’s great moments in sports. Records have been broken, seemingly impossible physical feats have been achieved, and long-overdue victories have finally come to fruition, all in front of millions — sometimes billions — of fans around the world. It’s not easy to narrow down all the incredible

When it comes to working out, we know that half the battle is actually getting there, which is why we need cute workout clothes; the fun outfits motivate us to get our butts moving. Workout clothes have come a long way from the old baggy t-shirts of years past; now, our gym outfits are just

Sex should leave you feeling euphoric, but if your stomach has ever felt unsettled afterward, it’s important that you get to the bottom of it. “It’s never normal to feel nauseous after sex,” Lauren Streicher, MD, an ob-gyn and medical director of Northwestern Medicine’s Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause, told POPSUGAR. That said, it

Struggling with your mental health, whatever that might look like for you, can feel isolating. It can seem particularly debilitating if you’re convinced no one will understand what you’re going through or feel that, quite frankly, no one cares. But people from all walks of life — celebrities, athletes, your friends and family members, strangers

There’s really nothing in the world like running a race through the Disney parks and collecting one of those spectacular medals. Whether you’re an avid runner or simply a Disney fan looking for something new to experience in the parks, RunDisney race weekends are for everyone. (There’s even a variety of distances for every fitness

Fitness and technology are two of my favorite things, and I’m very particular about my gadgets and tech — especially my headphones. I need headphones that have great sound quality, that stay put in my ears, and are wireless so I don’t have to worry about yanking them out of my ears every time I

Did you know you can soak steel-cut oats overnight just like you can with rolled oats? If you’ve never tried overnight steel-cut oats, it is a breakfast game changer! The texture is soft, yet chewier than overnight oats made with rolled oats, and way more satisfying, in my oatmeal-loving opinion. To make this breakfast even

Like some — alright, many — I’ve been determined to work out to lose weight. Intense training and rigorous diets have been fads in my lifetime, but in recent years, my motivation to hit the gym has shifted quite significantly. The sort of transformation I’m currently after is conditioning my body to feel good through

Talking about sex and sexual health is often a taboo topic, but there’s nothing wrong with educating yourself about sex if you plan on being sexually active or if you are already sexually active. Open conversations about sex are necessary to help prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and to provide people with information

As a 22-year-old fully immersed in adulthood for the first time, the last postgrad stress I was anticipating was dealing with my parents’ unexpected split. I immediately stepped in as the family mediator in an attempt to mend damaged relationships. On top of paying rent and student loans, working a corporate job, and navigating a

Research suggests that up to 85 percent of women who are sexually active will be exposed to human papillomavirus (HPV) in their lifetime, but like other sexually transmitted infections, it still carries a bit of a stigma. As an ob-gyn, the first question I’m usually asked by patients is, “How did I get it?” To

Professional athletes have become more candid about their mental health, leading teams to add mental skills and performance coaches to their roster to improve athletes’ wellbeing as well as their athletic performance. The San Francisco 49ers took it one step further and have the NFL’s first-ever emotional support dog, an adorable French Bulldog named Zoë.
