One of my favorite parts about the Peloton is that whenever I’m sick of cycling, I can roll it away and switch up my workout with one of Kristin McGee’s yoga classes. But there’s nothing worse than being in the middle of a killer leg lift and having to strain my neck to see what

When my cat scratched up my Peloton bike mat, I figured it wouldn’t make much of a difference if I just got rid of it entirely. Boy was I wrong — between the cycling shoes making scuff marks on the floor, my gross sweat forming a slippery puddle around me, and worse, the bike wobbling

Cardio and strength training are an important part of any workout plan, but recovery is essential — and stretching is too often the first thing we let slide. “You should be doing mobility exercises five to seven days of the week,” explained Le Sweat founder Charlee Atkins, CSCS, who created this stretching sequence for POPSUGAR’s

Last year I moved from Los Angeles to Michigan. Even though I was born and raised in the Great Lakes State, I found the transition to be harder than I anticipated. The weather was in stark contrast to the balmy 70-degree days I had grown accustomed to. I missed frequenting my favorite coffee shops and

UCLA gymnast Margzetta Frazier recently received the surprise call of a lifetime. After the athlete debuted her passionate Janet Jackson-inspired floor routine, she got an unexpected FaceTime from the iconic singer in celebration.

UCLA’s gymnastics team is nationally known for their skill and creativity within the sport, but the athletes’ sideline support is something extra special.

Teamwork obviously makes the

It was a rematch worth watching. At the 2021 Australian Open women’s singles final on Saturday, Feb. 20, Japan’s Naomi Osaka bested American Jennifer Brady 6-4, 6-3. Rewind last year to the US Open semifinals, where Osaka outplayed Brady to advance to the finals and later take home the title — throughout this tournament, Osaka

Does the thought of adding color to your workout wardrobe send shivers down your spine? Us too. An all-black look adds a certain power and edge to whatever we’re doing.

I’m never going to be one of those people who loves to run. I’ve tried over and over again, jogging on tracks, treadmills, and through the woods. I just don’t enjoy it. But I do enjoy walking. Getting steps in is my favorite way to spend my lunch hour, and my husband and I look

OK, let’s be real — as much as all of us would love to take a social media hiatus, it’s not always practical in today’s world. Instead of trying to cut it out, be conscious of how you curate your feeds. If an influencer, beauty brand, (or even friend) makes you feel unworthy or less

I’m all for an energetic coach or motivational at-home YouTube workouts, but every so often, I’m not in the mood for someone else’s pep. If I come to a workout with a five energy level and the instructor greets me with a 1,005, it’ll take all my strength to not turn around, walk away, and
