Back in October, I brought you a three-minute plank series that my boyfriend does at fire academy during some of his training sessions. I like it for two reasons: it doesn’t use any equipment and it includes exercises I’m familiar with. At the same time, though, it’s more challenging than you’d expect. That’s why I’m

A year ago I had surgery on my hip, and I’ve religiously been going to physical therapy ever since to regain my mobility and return to sport. I do a variety of mobility exercises, but the one that has arguably made the greatest impact on my recovery is the 90/90 exercise. It’s improved my hip

Headaches, not to mention migraines, aren’t just painful – they’re inconvenient, too. They come at the worst times, making you quickly reach for pain medications just to get them over with. However, if you’re looking for a natural alternative to either replace or supplement your regular ibuprofen, an herbal tea might become your new best

With only one day left until election day, former Olympic ice skater Adam Rippon shared this video of what he calls “probably the most important performance of my life.” He put on a pair of rollerblades and gracefully glided and twirled his ballot right into the ballot drop box — to the song “Perfect Day”

A sore, tight back is no joke. And the way we live our lives — hunched over a computer, slouching on a couch, or sleeping wrong in bed — can certainly lead to tightness in your back. Even if you work out and stretch regularly, you may not be paying enough attention to your back.

It’s not always easy to get into a yoga flow when you’re feeling stressed. In fact, if you’re overwhelmed and anxious, it might feel like the last thing you want to do.

Seated workouts are versatile because they can be performed by people of all fitness levels, and those with limited mobility don’t have to be excluded from the equation.

I always thought knots were primarily an issue in the back and neck muscles. That is, until I discovered a painful knot in my calf. It was so deep in the muscle and so sensitive to the touch that self-massage was not an option. I remember the exact moment I found it. I was lying

For-profit healthcare short-changes virtually everyone, but according to new evidence, Black queer youth are among those who suffer the most.

Hilariously titled “Affirmations That Positively, Absolutely, Probably (Most Likely) Won’t Make Your 2020 Worse,” the humorous videos were actually promoting Hemsworth’s fitness app Centr, which offers real meditations.

Since many of us are relying on at-home workouts to get our exercise in right now, a yoga mat is a practical item to invest in. However, just because it’s a functional piece of fitness gear, doesn’t mean it can’t also be a beautiful addition to your home decor. With the variety of patterns and

When you think of climbing, you may be focused on the strength and muscle building that goes into it. And it’s easy to do: Some of the main aspects of climbing require you to lift and hoist your own body weight. But, strength isn’t the only thing required of a climber — being agile and

When it comes to working those quads, glutes, and hamstrings, there’s hardly a more ideal movement to perform than the lunge.
