The Superman exercise is an effective back extension exercise that strengthens your lower back and tones your glutes and hamstrings.

12-hour fasting is a form of intermittent fasting (IF) also known as 12:12, that many people try for weight loss and health benefits including improved digestion, increased energy, and improved sleep.

In a world of social media filters, Photoshop, and perfect lighting and angles, we can forget one very important fact — most people have cellulite. It’s totally normal! Some have cellulite on their stomach, or on their thighs, tush, or on the backs of their arms. Of course, cellulite is nothing to be ashamed of

It’s hard to compete with the amazing post-workout feeling of bliss many athletes experience. The release of endorphins after a hard run, intense HIIT workout, or strength workout feels so energizing, but what doesn’t feel so great is the frequent calf soreness and tightness experienced afterward. Sure, they might be small, but your calves are

Strengthen your upper body and tone your core all at once with this ab and arm workout with dumbbells. Not all 10 moves use weights — some are bodyweight exercises — making it a well-rounded workout to really target your arms and abs. This workout is fast-paced and intense, and even though it’ll take under

I firmly believe that everyone has a right to listen to whatever the heck they want to when they work out. Whatever motivates you, whatever pushes you to run a little bit faster or get in that last rep, that’s what you should listen to: whether that’s rap, K-pop, Disney soundtracks, sea shanties, or Mariah

No matter who you are, taking care of your mental health is extremely important. There’s no right or wrong way to improve it — you may choose to take medication, journal, exercise, work with a mental health professional, do art therapy, or a combination of practices to manage and improve your well-being. If you’ve been

A settlement has been reached in one of the fallout cases from the gymnastics sexual abuse scandal that came to light in 2016. Hundreds of survivors of the abuse of Larry Nassar, once a team doctor for the national team, have agreed to a $380 million settlement with USA Gymnastics (USAG) and the United States

I love a good squat, but I know that it isn’t as effective at targeting my glutes as I once thought (aka, when I used to take on 30-day squat challenges in high school long before I came into this industry and did my research). In fact, though squats recruit your glutes and hamstrings, they

The defining aspect of the ketogenic diet, aka keto, is that it’s low-carb in the extreme. Just how low-carb? If you’re doing keto right, carbs should account for five to 10 percent of your daily macronutrient intake. The actual amount in grams varies based on your weight and fitness level, but it could be anywhere

Sometimes we need that extra bit of motivation to get us up off the couch, into workout clothes, and out the door. Music has always been the thing that helps power me through a workout, but the playlist I choose depends on the mood I’m in. Do I want to feel like I’m at an

Working out is great for our physical health — strength training and cardio, for example, can help improve metabolism — as well as our mental health. HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is effective for burning fat, making it an ideal workout for weight loss. And if you’re focused on booty gains, sprints and inclines on the

You’ve probably seen the ads for the weight-loss app Noom on your social media pages, promising to help you “stop dieting” and achieve “life-long results.” As with most subscription weight-loss apps, you’re probably wondering how much Noom costs per month, whether there’s a free trial you can cash in on, and, ultimately if the app

We’re not here to condone violence, but when it comes to pitch invaders — at any sporting event, really, but especially at women’s soccer games — let’s just say they should know what they’re in for. Usually, fans who run onto the field get taken down pretty quickly by security personnel, who take them away

Saweetie is known for releasing back-to-back hit songs and delivering rump-shaking performances. While the “My Type” singer is currently pushing through an appearance-filled year — including her lively SNL performance — Saweetie recently revealed, in an interview with People, that her busy schedule comes with its own set of mental health challenges.
