I’m no newbie to an indoor bike. I’ve been a regular at a local boutique studio, and as of this year, I’m a proud owner of an indoor bike myself. And although there are a number of online videos or streaming services available, there have been times when nothing feels quite right for my mood

In this episode of POPSUGAR’s House Call, host Jeanette Jenkins, creator of The Hollywood Trainer Club, calls up a friend, who also happens to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time: Venus Williams. Williams, who has racked up seven Grand Slam singles titles during her career, and Jenkins share an upper-body workout

What’s more, I’ve collected a few more training-specific accessories along the way. My UA HOVR™ Rise 2 Training Shoes ($100), hand weights,

Meditation has been a part of my life in different ways for the last few years. Most recently, it has been a way for me to handle stress, sleep better, and help counterbalance the physical training I put my body through. But there’s a part of meditation that has always confounded me that may surprise

I’m always concerned with how my teeth look when I should be paying more attention to my gums for insight into my general dental health. If your gums are swelling, bleeding, discolored (think red, blue, or dark red instead of pink!), receding, or have changed from a firm to spongy texture— these are all signs

Have you ever walked into your favorite fitness store, looking to pick up a pair of incredible leggings, but ended up leaving wanting everything in sight? Well . . . same. We love gear, but it doesn’t always come cheap; that’s why we often hold off on buying our favorites and wait to add them

Yes, the world-class gymnast started dating her new beau and debuted gravity-defying skills at practice, but she had to

I first realized I needed to make a change in my life while I was waiting for my ice cream to soften in the microwave. I know many people will have feelings about that — but this isn’t about my habit of microwaving ice cream. This story is about the fact that, while I was

Eating a healthy lunch? Check. Exercise? Check. Drinking more water, finding some quiet time to yourself, going to be early? Eh, those feel-good habits are a little harder to keep top of mind. While New Year’s resolutions will likely look a little different this year — who else put “travel more” at the top of

Treadmills can be polarizing. You either love running on one or you feel like you’re on an endless hamster wheel. I happen to be in the second camp. As a marathon runner, I gravitate toward long stretches of city streets or my favorite river park. But the second I lace up my UA HOVR™ Phantom

While the holidays can bring a lot of cheer, they can also come with pain. You may be grieving a loved one, seeing a family member who’s hurt you in the past, or struggling to handle the changes to your routine. For many people, the holidays can also be hard for another reason: They’re working

Although many of us will have much different-looking holidays this season, some of us will still be hitting the road.
