One thing we love about so many home workouts is that they’re versatile — so versatile you don’t even need typical gym equipment to get them done. Is your access to dumbbells limited? How about using some cans of food or your favorite bottles of Merlot instead? Don’t have a kettlebell? Ever considered a gallon
You got to keep focused when you’re working out at home, which is exactly why I love this “Say So” ab routine.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve suddenly found ourselves in a strange and disconcerting new reality due to the coronavirus outbreak. The shelves of grocery stores are empty, and toilet paper has suddenly become the hottest commodity in town (Purell is a close second).

COVID-19 has sickened thousands across the globe, and for those of us who are fortunate enough to be healthy, it has drastically changed the way we live. It’s hard to escape the harsh realities
Since so many of us are staying at home, our wardrobe has changed a bit. We’re swapping our daily uniform of blazers and midi skirts for matching sets and workout clothes, and right now, we can stay cozy and cute in stylish sweatpants.

When it comes to meditation, if you’re anything like me, you might be skeptical about it and need a little push. It’s hard to focus on your own (have you tried to sit in silence while your thoughts play patty-cake with your mind?!), but you can get the push you need in the form of
The World Karate Federation announced the first 40 athletes heading to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics today, including the first (and so far, only) American to qualify: Sakura Kokumai, a 27-year-old Hawaii native who’s been doing karate for 20 years. “21 qualifiers over the course of two years.

Maintaining your mental and physical health is crucial during this difficult time, and keeping up with your regular workout routine is an excellent way to do that. If your gym is closed, thankfully many companies are offering free online workouts (some that you’d normally pay for) so you can still get your heart rate up,
Sports bras are a necessary part of our workout wardrobe, and they wear out faster than we’d like, so it’s important to be shopping for them on a regular basis.

While we are always in awe of Trader Joe’s new products, fresh produce, and seasonal finds, right now we can’t seem to get over the brand’s high-protein “light” ice cream.
