Taking sneakers beyond the workout is a fashion trend that’s here to stay; we love moving our bodies, but we want to look as good as possible doing so. That’s why we love cute workout outfits. They motivate us to get our butt moving so we can feel like our happiest, healthiest selves. But, the

I’ve been social distancing at home in NYC since November due to surgery, and I was just beginning to get back into a routine when coronavirus shut the city down. It’s hard to explain what I’ve experienced over the past six months, because although much hasn’t changed when it comes to my day-to-day, everything has

Immune health is on our minds these days, which means you’ve probably been seeing lots of supplements, fancy foods, and special drinks touted as effective or natural ways to boost your immunity. The truth is that scientists haven’t found a direct link between lifestyle changes and increased immune capacity, at least not yet. But there

If you’ve read much about COVID-19, you know that fever, cough, and shortness of breath are hallmarks of the disease. But while many people will run a fever — for as long as a week or more — it’s possible to contract the virus and never see a spike in your temperature. “You can definitely

I’m a huge fan of weightlifting, but I also know the importance of giving your body a rest. Some days, that means doing nothing. Other days, it’s trading in the barbell for a fun, upbeat cycling class, or going to yoga and stretching out your tight hips, hamstrings, and shoulders. If you’re in need of

For those of us who are used to breaking a sweat outside, we can’t help but eagerly await those first truly nice spring days. Although we can’t expect full-on shorts weather quite yet, those temps are rising, and we’re getting ready to ditch our layers, opt for lighter, more breathable gear that’s ready to work,

As someone who is clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I understand the importance of normalizing mental illness and fighting back against the stigma that prevents people from getting the help and support they need. But while we’ve made strides in recent years, I worry it’s come at the expense of downplaying the seriousness of

I give protein powder one chance to wow me, and if I’m not impressed because it has a weird consistency or aftertaste, or the flavor isn’t spectacular, it’s a no for me. It goes through the ultimate test — mixed with water and ice and that’s it. I have a few plant-based protein powders I

You don’t have to have every hour of your day accounted for, but a daily routine can help you optimize your day, alleviate and prevent stress, and keep you on task and organized. If your schedule has been disrupted and you find yourself waking up at different hours every day, forgetting or skipping workouts altogether,

A fever is one of the most common symptoms of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Symptoms typically appear between two to 14 days after exposure to the virus, and while the fever may not set in right away, it can feel relentless once it does. Just how long can you expect to

But, in

I love to go on long leisurely runs down this country road about two miles from my house because of the rolling hills, adorable grazing cows and horses, and because I rarely see many cars. It’s quiet and makes me feel free to run beside the open fields, but after about an hour of running,

Imagine: a low-carb diet made easier with an air fryer. Who would’ve known? If you assumed the air fryer was off-limits on this kind of diet, we’re here to set the record straight. While it’s best known for cooking perfectly crisp potatoes, chips, and breaded meats — without the oil (and calories) needed for deep

At the moment, we’re reaching for two categories of shoes, either slippers or sneakers. We’re breaking out our sneakers for at-home workouts, neighborhood walks, and the few essential errands we need to run, like trips to the grocery store or pharmacy. Right now, we’re kind of obsessed with the sneakers at Bandier, because they walk

If you’ve ever taken a Y7 yoga class in New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago, you know just how immersive and transformational it can be. This is not just a class, it’s an experience — and whether you’ve been missing your favorite rhythmic sweat sessions or you’ve only dreamed of being able to attend one

Now that I’ve been exercising at home, my workouts aren’t nearly as long or intense as they were when I was working out at my CrossFit gym. I’m actually really enjoying this time to listen to my body and do the exercises I want to do. Best of all, since I’m not commuting back and

I’ve set a lot of goals for myself during my running career: finish a half-marathon, finish a marathon, run 100 miles in a month. But one goal that’s remained consistent year after year and race after race is to get faster. It’s a pretty common goal among runners at any level. Once you’ve gotten passed

Due to the implementation of social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders across the US, nonessential businesses have closed their doors. That includes private practices run by therapists. At a time where being isolated and the novel coronavirus pandemic itself can cause anxiety and stress — and especially for those with mental illness — not being

A lot has changed since I was 13 years old, but not everything. I still believe Kelly Clarkson‘s album Thankful is a work of art, I still think bright blue eyeshadow is beautiful, and I still hate tampons with a fiery, burning passion. In fact, I vividly remember the first time I ever attempted to

Boredom has always been my biggest running roadblock — until I discovered the power of a great podcast. After pressing play, I go from dragging my feet (and using my achy joints as an excuse to turn around) to solving a true-crime mystery, deep-diving into the making of iconic songs, or catching up on current
