If you have no idea what collagen is, it’s “the most plentiful protein in the body,” and the powders are typically derived from animals, although there are genetically modified

My husband and I moved to Austria a little over two years ago and have traveled to many European countries since, but biking through the French countryside may be the single greatest trip I’ve ever taken. While I had never been much of an outdoorsy person, I finally found a hobby that stuck when I

Gifting pajamas and socks may seem like a safe bet, but this year, you can go above and beyond by treating your keto-loving friend to a few low-carb inspired presents they’ll actually use. Whether you choose a delicious chocolate snack, a bacon-inspired cookbook, or a funny mug, we found a handful of options that will

It doesn’t matter how many miles I run or HIIT workouts I sweat through — jogging up a few flights of stairs is still guaranteed to leave me winded. Something about the combination of cardio and activating multiple muscle groups (hamstrings, quads, glutes, and core) makes it a welcome challenge. I’ve even been known to

When I first embarked on my journey to get a more toned upper body, I had the same fears many people — and especially women — do. Would I suddenly look like a bodybuilder after a week of bicep curls? (Spoiler: no.) Would I flail helplessly with a barbell and fall in an embarrassed heap

I’ve loved smoothies since I was little, but when I saw one of my favorite organic healthy juice spots use a whopping three bananas as a base for my smoothie, I knew it was time to start making my own. If I ate three whole bananas in one sitting, I would be doubled over in

It’s impossible to talk about Alex’s wellness routine without mentioning her workouts — fitness is her job, after all!

On Nov. 13, US Paralympic athlete Deja Rae ran to victory in the 200-meter T47 event at the 2019 World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai. She also finished second in the 100-meter T47 behind fellow American Brittni Mason, after setting a world record of 11.92 seconds in the prelims (Brittni beat that record in the

The fact that I played softball for 13 years without an ounce of upper-body strength is, in retrospect, amazing. You see, the main thing that matters in softball is how much power you can put behind the ball. Some of that comes from your lower body, sure, but at the end of the day it’s

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not a morning person. Due to unfortunate personal circumstances (looking at you, two-hour commute), I’ve had to forcibly become one. The only way for me to get in a workout is to do it super early, and exercise is a priority for me, even if I have to get

Kate Miller and Anna Duckworth are cofounders of Miss Grass.

It was through cannabis that Kate found a lasting preventative treatment for her

“Oh, I wish I had a river I could sail away on.” If you’ve watched The Politician on Netflix, it’s likely you had Ben Platt’s version of Joni Mitchell’s “River” stuck in your head at some point — maybe you even added his cover to your Spotify playlist. Well, prepare to love the song even

If your goal is to carry all your groceries inside without making multiple trips, to have arms as sculpted as Angela Bassett’s, or improve your upper-body strength, you need to dedicate more time to strengthening your upper body. Generally speaking, consistently doing at least two strength sessions a week with an emphasis on upper-body strength,

An exhibition game ended in a stunning upset on Saturday when Oregon women’s basketball, ranked number one in the country, beat the best team in the world: the US Women’s Basketball Team. It marks the first time in 20 years that Team USA, who have won eight Olympic gold medals, have lost to a college

Even if you’ve never seen a gynecologist, you’ve likely heard of a Pap smear, the screening that can help detect abnormal cells in the cervix, which could potentially lead to cervical cancer. While it’s true that many of these changes are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, you still need to get

[embedded content] Simone Manuel and Katie Ledecky are two of the best swimmers competing today, but despite being BFFs — they both swam at Stanford and roomed together at the 2016 Olympics — they rarely go head to head in the pool. It makes sense; Simone and Katie race different events, with Simone dominating the

When Joe Kovacs went up for his final throw at the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar, he was in fourth place and his wife was right there with him — and not just metaphorically. As the men’s coach for Team USA and Joe’s personal coach, Ashley told him right before his last

The United States women’s national soccer team won another incremental victory in their ongoing battle for equality on Friday, Nov. 8, when a judge granted them class-action status in their lawsuit against US Soccer.
