Sprints, burpees, squat jumps, and other staples of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are undeniably challenging. But HIIT workouts burn a ton of calories, and I know I always feel so good when I’m finished — that is, after a few days of supersore muscles. If you’re also a fan of HIIT, then you have to

Of all the work we’ve done on our homes this year, we’ve undoubtedly given the most attention to our home gym situation. In the beginning of the year, our at-home workout equipment was nonexistent, and now we’ve collected a stash of weights, resistance bands, and other props. If you’re looking to amplify your workout-from-home situation,

It was the 1999 World Cup, and Brandi Chastain had just scored the winning goal, solidifying the US Women’s National Team’s victory over China.

Selena Gomez has been incredibly candid about her ongoing mental health journey over the years, recently revealing she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and opening up about managing her depression during shelter-in-place.

I’ve been trying to get myself to meditate for, oh, about two years now. I was almost sure I’d like it, too, because I imagined meditating would be similar to that relaxed, zoned-in feeling I get after yoga, when I’m lying in Savasana completely centered and calm. But I couldn’t get myself over the hump

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that 2020 hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park.

Even if you don’t have

Growing up, I had an affinity for intense workouts and sports. My favorite part of training was always the plyometric sessions, although I thoroughly loved winning competitions in practice, scoring goals when scrimmaging my sister, and getting new PRs. I loved plyo sessions because they involved agility, power, and explosion, and they translated to becoming

I had never rowed a stroke in my life before joining CrossFit over four years ago, and it soon became my favorite cardio machine because it offers a full-body workout. After my gym shut down in March due to the pandemic, I got back into running outside, but I really missed rowing. So when Ergatta

Although I was skeptical at first, after reading about the countless benefits of adaptogens, I decided to give them a try for a month to see if I felt a difference. And now, just a month and a few days in, I can say that I’m never going back. If you’re unfamiliar, adaptogens are plants

Back in October, I brought you a three-minute plank series that my boyfriend does at fire academy during some of his training sessions. I like it for two reasons: it doesn’t use any equipment and it includes exercises I’m familiar with. At the same time, though, it’s more challenging than you’d expect. That’s why I’m

Working from home isn’t new to me, so I didn’t expect the lifestyle changes that came with the COVID-19 pandemic to have much of an impact on my life. I’m used to multi-tasking throughout the day — squeezing in a workout between clients or throwing in a load of laundry on my way to grab

A burp is a common sign that you’re, well, experiencing some gas. Chest pain, on the other hand, is a gas symptom that’s way less discussed. “Gas can cause more than just pain in the belly. Gas can be described as a stabbing pain or tightness in the chest, which mimics chest pain,” Dr. Monisha
