While prepping my overnight oats for the week, I had a revelation: why not use a green protein smoothie as the liquid instead of just plain almond milk or soy milk? I know green oatmeal looks a little weird, but I promise, just like those green smoothies you love, you can’t taste the spinach at

Throughout all the Peloton hype, no one is talking about what I believe to be one of the app’s best features. So I’ve taken it upon myself to share what I think is currently Peloton’s best-kept secret: the music-backed guided stretching videos. For those who haven’t taken the Peloton plunge, the app offers more than

For me, the smell of freshly brewed coffee is the equivalent of a comforting, warm hug. Those first few sips hardly disappoint either, as I’m instantly energized to take on the day. But, all good things come to an end after too many caramel-infused cups leave me with a headache. That’s just one example of

Lululemon is a top destination for workout clothes; we love their highly-rated leggings and supportive sports bras. Starting today, though, more people can wear the comfortable, sweat-wicking clothes, because the company has announced it’s expanding the size range. Six of the bestselling styles will now be available in sizes 0-20, with Lululemon itself maintaining, “it’s

Debunking body pain is often about reading between the lines. Let’s say you’re midrun when hip pain strikes — it’s fair to think, “When and how did I strain my hip?” But the answer may not stem from your hip at all. Other factors, like feet imbalances, could spark a chain reaction that presents itself

Years ago, my mom was kind enough to make me a homemade heating pad — a fabric tube filled with rice that I could pop in the microwave whenever my period cramps were out of control. It was a huge step up from my electric heating pad, which required me to sit near an outlet

If leggings aren’t high-waisted, we probably aren’t buying them. The style is so perfect because it holds you in, doesn’t ride down and expose anything, and also looks great with just a sports bra or crop top. Plus, we find high-waisted leggings to be the most comfortable styles. Since there’s always room in your closet

For the past six months, my group workout classes have consisted of pretending I’m in the cast of an on-demand workout class or logging into a Zoom event and waving at my friend’s little square in the corner. Save from solo outdoor runs and some yoga sessions of my rooftop, most of these activities have

After graduation, that same personal ethos has continued to be the guiding force in Georgette’s life, and she’s taken the lessons she learned while on the track into her new day-to-day. “I learned to appreciate the journey and not just stress about the destination — taking it easy won’t take you anywhere,” she said. “In

We are huge fans of Kayla Itsines and love her fitness app, Sweat. If you’re the person who’s always on the go, you don’t want to worry about coming up with workout routines yourself, or you like variety, you’ve got to check out the Sweat app. It features workout programs from Itsines, Steph Sanzo, Chontel

Treadmills make running convenient — even more so when you’ve got a machine in your home and bad weather is threatening your workout schedule. It’s also true that running on a treadmill can be a little boring, especially if you’re the type of person that finds running monotonous. But, introducing interval training, like fartlek training,

From the trainer who brought you an incredible Mama Mia! workout comes another session full of moves that will challenge your strength and cardio in a fun way: Taylor Swift HIIT. (Yes! Swift is getting the high-intensity interval treatment!) Emily Thorne knows how to bring so much joy into workout routines, and this class features

The 2020 US Open commenced on Aug. 31 — minus the crowd. Though the atmosphere at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center grounds is quieter than usual, some players are speaking up more loudly than ever in the face of racial injustice and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Naomi Osaka,

Naomi Osaka has officially added a third Grand Slam to her list of accolades — and her second US Open singles title. On Sept. 12, the 22-year-old tennis player representing Japan, who was ranked ninth in the world going into this tournament, won against Belarus’s Victoria Azarenka, age 31 and ranked 27th. The final score

A bad morning can follow you throughout the entire day — raise your hand if stubbing your toe on your bed frame and spilling your coffee all over your new white shirt snowballed into unnecessarily snapping at your partner and an overall foul mood. While we can’t do much about your furniture placement, we can

Workout leggings are a highly debated topic at POPSUGAR. Our criteria is strict, and we don’t compromise on certain features. They have to be comfortable, look good on, and not restrict our movement. It sounds simple, but you’d be surprised. Well, worry not, because these 17 pairs pass our tests. No matter if you’re a

Since the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) is recommending all Americans wear some kind of face covering when out in public, we’re stocking up on plenty of cloth face masks. We’re wearing masks to go run necessary errands, but also to go on walks in the neighborhood and exercise in public, which means we’d like

As a teenager, my periods were excruciating and irregular. I was blindsided with crippling cramps, so intense that I’d have to miss school or leave my after-school job — sometimes I’d even vomit. The thing was, I never knew when it was going to come, so the pain was always a surprise, and I was
