Weight Loss

You don’t always have to lose a loved one to grieve, proven by all types of loss experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe you’ve lost your job, sense of identity, or purpose. Maybe you no longer have hold of motivation, a solid routine, or connections. Perhaps all of the loss has been compounded for you

There is so much potential for sports to unite us — you can see it after a home run drops over the fence, or a last-minute goal hits the back of the net, or a marathon finish line is crossed — but the truth is that athletic institutions and communities have long fallen short when

Shoes? Laced. Water bottle? Filled. Weights? Stacked. Next step? Picking the right music! It should be illegal to work out without amazing music playing in your AirPods. When you can feel the beat pumping along with your heart, when you’re ready to lift another set or run just a little bit farther because your favorite

Sweat isn’t always leggings’ best friend. I, for one, am not a fan of overheating mid-exercise and feeling the need to peel my workout wardrobe off before my stretches. So, when Under Armour sent me its Iso-Chill Ankle Leggings ($90), you bet I was intrigued to give them a try. I often do a “stroke

In an Instagram graphic on Wednesday, Ryan Reynolds opened up about his personal experience with anxiety in an

As much as I love watching Olympic diving, I’ve never understood why athletes scurry off to the showers and then proceed to chill in a hot tub after each dive. They’re already wet. They’re only in the pool for a handful of seconds, so it’s not like they need to get cleaned up. And doesn’t

Editor’s Note: We at POPSUGAR recognize that people of many genders and identities have female sex organs and menstruate, not just those who are women. For this particular story, sources referred to people who menstruate as women. The symptoms you experience prior to getting your period aren’t necessarily set in stone, which is potentially good

That’s me at Trader Joe’s.

Before taking our mark and then diving off the block, swimmers — much like other athletes — have a pre-race mental check list we run through to ensure we’re really ready to compete. Swimming caps on and goggles secured? Check. Starting block dry, locked, and ready to go? Double check! Lastly, as anyone who’s ever

Menstrual cycles don’t just disappear when you’re at work, yet I’d be lying if I said I’ve never hid a tampon up my sleeve while walking to the bathroom or underestimated just how bad my cramps were making me feel (probably by just saying I had a “stomachache”) at one point in my career. It’s

We love the Sweat app for the heart-pumping, sweat-inducing HIIT workouts it offers. But the high-impact moves like burpees and jump squats aren’t for everyone, especially if you have joint pain or live in an apartment and can’t jump around. Luckily, new Sweat trainer Samantha Ortiz-Young has a low-impact HIIT program for the app as

Water polo is just one of several water-based sports that will be played in Tokyo at the upcoming Summer Olympics. The soccer-esque sport requires athletes to be strong swimmers, handle a ball well, and work together as a team. There’s one rule, however, that makes water polo even more difficult than it appears on the

If there’s one thing we know about Naomi Osaka, it’s that she’ll break any mold you try to fit her in. She’s a fierce competitor, a multi-talented athlete on the tennis court who’s just coming into her prime, as well as an outspoken advocate for social justice. She’s a global celebrity and a unique voice

Simone Biles is proudly embracing her status as one of the greatest gymnasts the world has ever seen. During the 2021 GK US Classic on May 22, Biles made history as she nailed a Yurchenko double pike on vault — a skill no woman ever attempted in previous competitions. Such a historic event called for

The 2021 GK US Classic was Chellsie Memmel’s first competition since she retired from gymnastics in 2012. She’s the 2005 world all-around champion, and she received team silver at the 2008 Beijing Games. Now 32 (turning 33 next month) and a mom of two, Memmel returned to the national stage on May 22 after declaring

Blogilates creator Cassey Ho wasn’t always famous for Pilates: she started off playing tennis at a young age, and her dad was her coach, so naturally, she loved to move. In high school, Ho was preparing for a pageant and found Pilates because she’d seen the Mari Winsor Pilates DVDs. “I begged my mom to

If you like your workouts with a side of timeless pop perfection, Canfitpro-certified trainer Emily Thorne (aka EmKFit on YouTube) has created a routine you’ve got to try.

Katelyn Ohashi is the former UCLA gymnast we grew to love for her viral floor routines and vibrant personality. If you’re familiar with her story, you know that her gymnastics career wasn’t always one of love and positivity. For a long time, Ohashi wasn’t happy. She was subjected to body shaming while on the elite

When you’ve reached a certain level of exhaustion, you’ll do just about anything for good sleep. You might try meditating, or winding down with a warm shower, or even popping a supplement. But if you often find yourself kicking back with a glass of wine in the evenings, you may want to reconsider — especially

As a former tennis player, I’m no stranger to working out in a dress. When the Outdoor Voices Exercise Dress ($100) first came out a few years ago, I fell in love with the idea of a grown up tennis dress I could wear more casually, but the brand has totally revamped the style, and

With diet culture constantly telling us that you have to look a certain way to be considered “worthy,” it’s sadly not uncommon for people to get caught up in fad diets, fall into disordered eating, or even develop a full-fledged eating disorder. In fact, it’s estimated that nearly 29 million Americans will have an eating

Just as yoga is about being flexible among other things, the practice itself stretches across many areas of movement — there are various types — and it is extremely versatile. This means it varies in length, intensity, and purpose, and it can be done anywhere and with many different props. Tiffany Crociani (Tiffany Croww for

Like most working professionals, I consider my alarm to be a necessary evil. While I don’t particularly look forward to being jolted out of a blissful slumber to Apple’s radar sound, I don’t know any other way to ensure I’ll get up in time for work. But many people — Oprah included — have somehow

When it comes to uniforms — even Olympic uniforms — swimming lacks glamour and aesthetic. It’s the truth, and as a former competitive swimmer, I can attest to this. Race suits are typically a solid color (usually black) with your team name or logo splashed across the front, and that’s about it. The same can
