The first capsule collection for the Active

My neck had gotten so stiff a few months ago that I was grimacing in pain just from tipping my head to one side or twisting around. All the neck stretches and foam-rolling in the world wasn’t making a lasting difference. I mentioned this to my doctor a few months ago, and she gave me

Gallon-size water bottles are all over TikTok and Instagram, with fitness influencers and regular users alike relying on them to reach their hydration goals. It seems weird at first — these water bottles are seriously huge! — but when you think about it, they make so much sense. There’s no rationing your water while you

Heaven Fitch likes to bake — it’s one of her hobbies — but on the wrestling mat, she turns the heat up extra high. At 16 last year, Fitch became the first woman wrestler to win a state championship in North Carolina — she swept every boy in her 106-pound weight class on the mat.

And while OTF has been offering virtual classes on YouTube, it’s not the same experience as working out in real time

Leggings without pockets are my number one pet peeve. Without pockets, where exactly am I supposed to keep my essentials while I work out? Since I’m not running with a fanny pack, I need a place for my keys, credit card, ID, face mask, and phone. If, like me, you find the concept of leggings

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or gain weight — or even stay exactly the same — stepping on the scale is probably a regular part of your routine. But it’s not as simple as putting both feet on the scale, reading the number, and moving on. The timing of those check-ins can actually make

Megan Thee Stallion is the ultimate hype girl, and her music gets us moving no matter where we are, which makes Peloton launching classes set to her songs seem like a no-brainer (and also a gift from the fitness gods). Similar to Peloton’s Beyoncé artist series, a few instructors will lead workouts with Megan’s motivational

Multimarathoner and run-club member Maggie Wade hasn’t always felt as strong and as confident as she does now.

If you’re a fan of Nutella (me, pick me!), you’ll want to try this recipe out for taste: the Nutella nitro cold brew concocted by former Starbucks barista and current co-owner of KNINE Coffee & Strength Alex Moe.

If you want to build lean muscle mass that will help you lose body fat and get strong, Beachbody super trainer Joel Freeman, the creator of LIIFT4, told POPSUGAR that “you need to train with weights.” He added that two to four days a week of weight training can significantly increase your lean muscle mass,

As someone with generalized anxiety disorder, it doesn’t take a natural disaster to cause my heart to race or my head to become overcrowded with thoughts and worries — it can happen when I simply wake up in the middle of the night or I have to make a phone call. But when a natural

No dumbbells? Not a problem with this quick strength-training workout from Peloton trainer Jess Sims, which swaps in a full backpack for moves usually done with dumbbells or kettlebells. “I can’t help myself — once a teacher, always a teacher,” Sims wrote on Instagram, and we’re not mad about it!

Identifying your “why” is crucial.

Someone please tell Saturday Night Live to let me work out at home in peace. First, the NBC sketch comedy show dragged the Peloton hype, and on Feb. 27, SNL‘s cast took things one step further with a pointed (but hilarious) Mirror Home Gym parody. Ever wonder what it’d be like if your Mirror was

There’s something fun about a workout bodysuit or one-piece. At first glance, it may seem impractical or a bit extra, until you remember that ballet dancers, gymnasts, and countless other athletes have been moving freely in leotards for as long as we can remember.

Please welcome Laurie Hernandez back to the floor! After a four-and-a-half-year hiatus, the 20-year-old Olympian made an exciting return to competitive gymnastics on Feb. 27 for the 2021 Winter Cup.
