Netflix has a new football docu-series on deck, but this time the subjects aren’t pros or college athletes. We Are: The Brooklyn Saints drops Jan. 29 and follows a football program of seven- to 13-year-old boys in inner city Brooklyn.

At 35 years old, I’m one of the last of my close friends to get married. I remember watching each and every one of them whittle themselves down to their thinnest selves for their weddings. So when I finally got engaged a little more than a year ago, I relished the idea of planning my

I’m not a fan of soda, but Poppi isn’t your typical soda. I was FaceTiming a friend when they shared that they had been drinking Poppi, a gut-friendly soda, nonstop and that they really enjoyed it. Intrigued by the concept of a healthy soda, I had to try it for myself, especially because the sodas

Sitting down to meditate can be daunting, and Headspace cofounder and former monk Andy Puddicombe knows that there are many misconceptions about the practice. One of which — and the biggest, he said — is that in order to meditate, you have to clear your mind. That, Puddicombe told POPSUGAR, is not the point of

Workouts probably look a little different these days as it’s been several months since most of us jostled for a spot in a group (indoor) fitness class. But, whether you’ve already stocked an at-home gym and bookmarked online alternatives, or if your exercise only involves running errands, we’ve got you covered. Even if no one

When you think of meditation, you might picture people sitting cross-legged on the floor, breathing deeply with their eyes closed and their minds empty.

Many newbie runners give up on running because within a mile, their legs are on fire and they’re breathing so hard they feel like they’re a huff and a puff away from passing out. Don’t expect to be able to run five miles right from the get-go — it takes time to build endurance, but
