At the very core of any good workout routine, you’ll find one move: squats. They’re such a natural part of having a fit, strong bod, in fact, that you’ve been doing them since birth. “Even before babies can walk, they can squat — and squat with perfect form,” says trainer and physical therapist Laura Miranda, founder of PURSUIT.

Taking care of your mental health should always be a priority, but for me and I suspect many others, it’s been especially challenging during the coronavirus outbreak.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re likely aware that Trader Joe’s sells cauliflower gnocchi. As soon as the budget-friendly grocery store began offering the nuggets of gluten-free goodness, they’ve flown out of the freezer sections faster than you can say “wait, this bag is less than $3?!” The pillowy dumplings have been a

Workout 3: Yoga Kate’s been a pretty outspoken yogi ever since experiencing some challenges while pregnant with her third child Rani. (She said it was a huge part of supporting her pregnancy.) So while I’m not pregnant (chill), if Kate loves yoga, that means I love yoga, too. PSA: I’m literally the least flexible human on

The Under-Armour-sponsored dance prodigy is an inspiration both on and off the stage, which is why her fans include everyone from the late pop

I made the decision last fall to go back to therapy. I had a brief stint in children’s sessions when I was about 10, and this time I was signing up on my own without the help of my parents. In the beginning, I took the less-than-five-minute drive over to my therapist’s office almost every

It seems like almost everyone has settled into a new sense of normal amid the COVID-19 pandemic. And, that applies to athletes training for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, who were hit with another unique setback when the Games were officially postponed one full year.
