I love to go on long leisurely runs down this country road about two miles from my house because of the rolling hills, adorable grazing cows and horses, and because I rarely see many cars. It’s quiet and makes me feel free to run beside the open fields, but after about an hour of running,

I’ve been working out consistently for more than 10 years, always in a gym or studio and never at home. I’ve tried everything from kickboxing and big-box gyms to Pilates and personal training. Currently my love is F45, where I get the benefit of high-intensity interval training, weights, a supportive community, and a feeling that

When it comes to preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), a condom will always be your greatest defense — so, if you find yourself in a situation where you’ve had unprotected sex, it’s important to know how and when to get tested. “First, it’s important to specify what tests are available for STIs. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and

One of the main reasons people buy organic produce is to eliminate the risk of pesticides from their diet. Even with a good wash, however, you may still be paranoid that you can’t get everything off. Since any produce — organic or not — is handled considerably before it makes it to the market, washing

With more than 600 locations and hundreds more expected to open this year, Club Pilates has quickly become one of the most in-demand boutique fitness studios. Like the more traditional Pilates practice, these Reformer-based classes have gained popularity for their ability to lengthen and strengthen muscles, increase flexibility, and improve posture and coordination. As a

Let’s face it; sports bras can be tough to shop for. They need to be functional and supportive, but they should also be pretty enough to be seen peeking through a tank or rocking on their own. Lululemon has got cute, supportive sports bras down, but it can be tricky figuring out which one to

Migraines, quite frankly, suck. For some people, myself included, dealing with a migraine can feel a little bit hopeless because they’re so hard to get rid of. I’ve tried a variety of remedies for migraines, even including CBD oil, which seemed to help some people, but never worked for me. Migraine treatment can be so

Being a runner and being stuck at home is not ideal… To be honest, I’ve found it quite frustrating and miss the mental-health benefits that I get from running. But, this can be an opportunity to work on things we often “don’t find the time to do” (or avoid because we just want to run

I’ve never been much of a morning person. Even as a kid, my mom had to set our rambunctious dog loose in my bedroom to get me up for school. By the time I reached my mid-20s, my morning sluggishness had turned to exhaustion. At first, I thought it was simply a consequence of working

You couldn’t call me a regular yoga practitioner, but something changes when I’m overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. That wasn’t happening all that often until this year. A few months ago, it was when I got injured and marooned from my usual workout routine. Now, like many other people, I’m sheltering in place; cut off from

Nine days after Tokyo 2020 was officially postponed, I caught up with Olympian, writer, and Olympic Dreams filmmaker Alexi Pappas from afar. It was morning in LA — where I live and where Pappas shares a home with her husband — but late evening in Greece, where Pappas had been training for Tokyo 2020 since

When I feel like anxiety is using my chest as a trampoline, or when my stress levels are getting too high, I do one of five things: take a nap, write down my feelings, relax in a yoga flow, sweat it out on my mat, or listen to music. For me, anything by Maggie Rogers

There’s just something about seeing that iconic check mark that makes a sneaker feel legit. It’s like an automatic seal of approval; when you wear Nike, you know it’s going to perform, and it’s going to look good. This year, we’re looking for the best sneakers out there, and spoiler alert: we’re into these 14

No matter how impressive our workout wardrobe may be, we’ve always got room for more leggings. In honor of the new decade (woah), there have been quite a few pairs that made it into our Hall of Fame. If you’re going to crush your New Year’s goals, treat yourself to a great new pair of

The Fitness Marshall‘s high-energy dance workouts inject a little brightness into our days whenever we tune in. In today’s good news, he’s now taking his signature style and humor to YouTube Live for a workout you can do right from your living room, and all to benefit a nonprofit.

There’s something weirdly satisfying about being so sore in the days after a good sweat that you struggle to get in and out of chairs. It feels like a physical confirmation that you crushed your workout (go you!) and will soon reap all the benefits. But your quivering quads probably leave you with a few questions —

Carrot cake cravings can’t be curbed easily, but a single slice of the store-bought classic weighs in at over 500 calories — not ideal if you’re trying to eat healthy. Luckily, this vegan cupcake recipe offers all the traditional flavors of carrot cake but cuts the amount of sugar and calories in half. While this

Between Apple’s App Store and Google Play, there are so many yoga apps to choose from right now that it can be overwhelming to pick the best yoga app for you. Don’t let decision fatigue interrupt your flow, though. Instead, check out this list of 9 top-rated yoga apps for iOS and Android devices. It’s

Sometimes, finding a great pair of leggings can feel tougher than bootcamp. Because they all fit so differently, and different customers want different things from a workout pant, we’ve learned to listen to ratings and customer reviews when we’re shopping, and we’ve come across some seriously beloved pairs. Whether you prefer a full legging or

Over the course of Lockdown we have become obsessed with home workouts – have you seen the amazing free ones on the Nike Training Club App? We may be stuck indoors, but that does not mean we don’t want to be active. In fact, here at WH, we’re working hard at emerging out of lockdown
