Here’s the thing about stock photos: nine times out of 10, they’re ridiculous. And we realize that it’s difficult to look cute while working up a sweat, but when it comes to stock photos depicting exercise, “ridiculous” is taken to a whole new level. From models grinning from ear to ear while lifting dumbbells to

We love celeb trainer Jeanette Jenkins’s quick, effective Instagram workout routines, and her latest is no exception: a total-body burner that uses only a park bench as equipment. You can do this workout on a sturdy outdoor bench, like Jeanette shows, or as a quick circuit in the gym using an exercise bench. Either way,

When you’re following a low-carb diet, healthy, convenient snacks are essential — and for those, look no further than Trader Joe’s. For a store that’s constantly restocking its shelves with exciting new foods (some healthy, others not), Trader Joe’s offers a consistently wide selection of low-carb foods and snacks. These tasty treats will help power

In-room fitness amenities are making it easier than ever to keep up your workout routine while staying in a hotel — you technically don’t even need to put on your shoes! Responding to the needs of the modern traveler, many hotel brands are placing a heavier emphasis on health and wellness — from filling their

While granola is typically considered healthier than other cereals, its crunch and sweetness beg the question: should you eat it on a low-carb diet? Turns out, that’s a complicated question. “Granola can vary widely in nutrition makeup,” Kris Sollid, RD, senior director of nutrition communications at the International Food Information Council Foundation, told POPSUGAR. For

There are times when the only thing that will satisfy your snack craving is a thin, crispy chip — and on that, Trader Joe’s delivers. It’s well-known that chips aren’t exactly nutritional powerhouses, but as indulgent snacks go, these picks are among the healthiest. Some contain unexpected ingredients like beets and beans, while others look

The importance of getting vaccinated has been a hot topic of conversation in recent years, largely due to widely circulated misinformation that has caused parents to opt out of vaccinating their children, putting entire communities at risk. But something that hasn’t received nearly as much attention is the fact that, in some cases, it’s equally

The beauty of WW (formerly Weight Watchers) is that the program fits any lifestyle. Sometimes when you have a specialized diet (say you’re allergic to some foods or prefer to skip animal products), it can be trickier to figure out how to wedge that into a weight-loss program — but not with WW! By simply

If you want to build muscle, you need to strength train — but swimming is one form of cardio that can help inch you closer to your goals. “Muscle is built by repetitive motions, using the same muscles over and over again,” Cindy Dallow, PhD, a sports dietitian and triathlon coach, told POPSUGAR. Plus, unlike

Billie Eilish is not the kind of pop star we’ve seen before, not least because of the raw, honest way she’s taken on the complicated conversation of her mental health. In her new Rolling Stone cover story, Billie opened up about those mental and emotional struggles and the way fame has reshaped the landscape of

Chicken is one of the healthiest, most beloved proteins out there — and with the Instant Pot, it just became even simpler to make. You probably have at least one package of chicken in your freezer right now, so put it to use in these quick, flavorful recipes, and skip the cleanup that comes with

World champion Australian triathlete Mirinda Carfrae, aka Rinny, is on pretty close terms with extreme bodily pain. She’s won the Ironman World Championships three times, (which, as a reminder, consists of a 2.4-mile swim, an 112-mile bike ride, and a full marathon). Just reading about this treadmill workout she does almost brought me to tears.

We consider ourselves something of experts when it comes to great workout leggings, and Zella is undoubtedly one of our favorite brands. We, and clearly every Nordstrom shopper, are partial to the Live In High-Waisted Leggings, but there are plenty of other styles that are equally as awesome. If you’re in the market for a

Beefing up a home gym can be expensive and also confusing. We all want the convenience of working out at home, but you only have so much room, money, and time to go sifting through the hundreds of different options for every piece of gear. And like, is there really that big of a difference

It happens every night like clockwork. I finish my evening skincare routine, turn down the lights, then spend a good chunk of time just clicking around on my phone. Sometimes it’s 30 minutes, and other times I get sucked into a time vortex, and the next thing I know, it’s 2 a.m. Or at least

We’re one year out from the Olympics, and Dalilah Muhammad looks like she’s ready to add another gold medal to her collection. While most of us were busy dealing with a case of the Sunday scaries, brunching, or meal-prepping on Sunday, Dalilah was busy running her best race ever and breaking a world record at

Every time you go for a run, you’re also getting an ab workout. Yes, it’s true: running “challenges and strengthens your core musculature,” said exercise physiologist Tom Holland, MS, CSCS, a marathoner and fitness adviser for Bowflex. “The abdominal muscles play an important role in stabilizing the body and generating force while running,” he explained.

If you looked up “success” in the dictionary, Lindsey Vonn’s face might as well be there. The 34-year-old has the most World Cup victories — 82 — of any female skier and became the first American woman to win gold in the downhill ski event at the 2010 Winter Games. She skied her last race

If there’s one food that’s most definitively associated with healthy eating, it’s salad. And if there’s one food that should be your go-to for diet-friendly lunches or dinners, it should be a salad topped with chicken. By combining one of the leanest proteins with the OG healthy meal, you’re ensuring that what you’re eating is

The fast track to weight loss isn’t always “eat less, lose more,” especially when you factor workouts into the picture. If you work out early in the morning, in particular, you might be used to skipping breakfast or your pre-workout snack. It’s early, dinner feels like it just happened, and you don’t want to eat

It’s no secret that sticking to a strict diet can be difficult, especially when it comes to snacking. If you’re trying the keto diet, which focuses on eating low-carb and high-fat foods, there are plenty of alternative options when it comes to quick and easy food. While there are an abundance of delicious keto recipes

If you love working out, it feels like you always need a new pair of sneakers. They’re not meant to last forever, and excessive use can change the way they feel and perform, which is totally normal. What it does mean, though, is that we have a lot of shopping to do. Right now, we’re

I know the struggle of looking a treadmill square in the face (I mean, monitor) and thinking, “Nope, not today.” Treadmills aren’t always the sexiest cardio machines at the gym — why pick them when you can shape and tone your legs on a Stairmaster or, I don’t know, find a pool to swim laps

[embedded content] Simone Manuel has a thing for making history. She did it at the 2016 Rio Olympics, becoming the first African-American woman to take gold in an individual race. And on July 26 at the FINA World Championships, she made it happen again, defending her Olympic and world champion title in the 100-meter freestyle

I’m obsessed with kombucha. Ten years ago when I was a broke college student, I would scrape together four dollars in quarters to buy a GT’s Strawberry Synergy or Cosmic Cranberry. This was before kombucha went mainstream, and people would always ask me what the “weird fizzy tea drink with debris floating in it” was.
