There’s a reason why “quick weight loss” is searched more than 12,000 times per month on Google. In a society that glamorizes diet culture — whether by labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” or by making “what I eat in a day” videos a viral TikTok trend — it’s easy to become obsessed with the

This past November, I ran the New York City Marathon. The day was one to remember, though there are a few details I’d be cool with forgetting, like how unreasonably hot the weather was or the fact that my toenails turned black from running 26.2 miles. (I could go on, but I won’t.) But the

#WednesdayThought: More Emma Myers stunts in Season 2! pic.twitter.com/1mcBdGsiNV — Netflix (@netflix) January 12, 2023 If running through the forest and battling otherworldly creatures looks like a HIIT workout, allow Emma Myers to demonstrate why training for a monster fight is even more intense. On Jan. 12, Netflix shared a behind-the-scenes clip of the “Wednesday”

Alison Brie is starting 2023 off strong — literally. The “Roar” actress hit a set of chin-ups to celebrate the new year, and it looks like her famous friends are as impressed as we are. “Happy New Year from me, @risemovement, and my 11 . . . err 10 chin-ups 🤪,” Brie captioned the video,

While some people have an emotional-support water bottle, I have what I like to call an emotional-support blanket. Not to be confused with a “blankie” gifted at childhood, my emotional-support blanket isn’t just one singular blanket I carry around everywhere. Instead, it’s any blanket that I can get my hands on. It doesn’t matter if

Warning: this post contains mentions of emotional and psychological abuse. Anna Kendrick is opening up about her experience with a toxic ex-boyfriend, including the fact that they had been on a fertility journey together. “I was with someone — this was somebody I lived with, for all intents and purposes, my husband. We had embryos

While there’s nothing quite like running outdoors, there are a few things to be said for a good treadmill workout: you can control your speed with precision, step off whenever you need a break, and log steps inside when the weather is poor, the roads are busy, or the trails are wet. If you’re just

While people tend to have mixed feelings about them, I’ll be the first to admit: I’m a big advocate of New Year’s resolutions. (Yes, even when I often struggle to follow through with them!) While I agree with the sentiment that we all have the power to change our lives any day of the year,

How does an actor prepare to accurately portray a werewolf on screen? By attending werewolf boot camp, obviously. Emma Myers did just that for her role as Enid Sinclair on “Wednesday,” and it sounds . . . weirdly fun? The 20-year-old star described the experience during a “Tonight Show” appearance on Jan. 4, telling host

The Peloton app has become the go-to home workout for a lot of people who can’t make it to the gym. Personally, Peloton has given me the means to sweat out my stress and get stronger at home, while offering a sense of comfort from its warrior trainers. Peloton’s instructors are some of the best

Gummy supplements are a little controversial. As reported by a former POPSUGAR contributor, they often contain added sugars and oftentimes don’t contain as many nutrients as they claim on the label. I’m fully aware of this, yet I’ll be honest: I love gummies. I know it would probably be more effective and nutritious to ingest

@lizzo FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK🍑 ♬ original sound – lizzo Lizzo is speaking out against TikTok’s unhealthy promotion of diet culture, fatphobia, and disordered eating. In a video shared on Jan. 6, the “About Damn Time” singer directly addressed negative comments from body shamers about her physical appearance. “The discourse around bodies is

You can train all you want for a marathon, but race day will always test you in unexpected ways. That was the case for Claire Holt, who took on the 2022 New York City Marathon and found herself throwing her time goal out the window as the finish line drew near. “[My body] decided that

The internet may be buzzing about her new romantic relationship, but Billie Eilish wants to talk about the one with herself. In conversation with Vogue for the magazine’s January 2023 cover story, the 21-year-old “Happier Than Ever” singer opened up about her connection with her body and how it’s changed over the years. “Going through

“Abbott Elementary” star Tyler James Williams wanted to leave his “Everybody Hates Chris” body behind and “bulk up” — but it wasn’t that simple. “I was trying to read for roles that were my age and I couldn’t get out of high school,” because he was still gangly like a teenager, he tells Men’s Health.

Netflix’s latest hit, “Kaleidoscope,” has already made the top 10 list on the platform and generated tons of social media buzz. While many viewers are debating the order in which the episodes should be watched (“Yellow,” “Green,” “Violent,” “Orange,” “Blue,” “Red,” “Pink,” “White” is my favorite!), other fans have noticed a less-talked-about, but equally important,

As midnight chimes on Dec. 31, the ringing in of a new year gives us a chance to start afresh, set ourselves a list of goals, and go into 2023 with the best of intentions. While New Year’s resolutions are an annual tradition, there’s a high chance that, come February, you’ll feel downbeat that you

Adeola Heyman’s version of a deadlift doesn’t require a barbell: in pole dancing, the term is used to describe hoisting your entire body from a standing position to an inverted one while gripping a pole and only using your upper-body strength. It practically defies the laws of gravity, but that’s standard for Heyman, a 30-year-old

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was taken to the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest and being administered CPR on the field during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals last night. The 24-year-old is currently sedated and in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and awaits further testing and treatment, according to a

YouTube workouts and I, we go way back. Back before I fell in love with the gym, I went to YouTube for workouts I could do in my garage or even my dorm room in college: mostly bodyweight routines that left me feeling sweaty, satisfied, and filled with endorphins. I come back to some of

Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / India Yaffe I’ve never worn any kind of fitness tracker, but I always thought that if I were to try one out, it would be the Oura Ring ($299–$549). The Oura Ring 3 is a fitness and wellness tracker that calibrates your sleep, heart rate, workouts, active calorie burn, and

“Soft” isn’t a word often equated with exercise. Instead, fitness rhetoric generally revolves around the exact opposite: going harder, firming muscles, pushing to the max. But since 2020, many of us have been craving a gentler approach. Amid the onset and long aftermath of COVID-19, just getting off the couch was a feat worthy of

There are few more classic winter traditions than deciding at the peak of the season — you know, when the weather is gloomy, the sun seems to set roughly 40 minutes after you wake up, and you barely possess the energy required to microwave a plate of pizza rolls — that the time is exactly

There are a number of ways to tell the difference between fat versus muscle weight gain. First, we want to point out that everyone’s bodies store fat differently. Based on genetics, some people store more visceral fat — fat that’s around the organs within the abdominal cavity — and others store more subcutaneous fat, or

I’m always looking for new YouTube workouts (why yes, I do have three separate personal playlists of my faves), so when I saw Bretman Rock’s ab workout video had racked up more than a million views, I knew I had to click. Rock, a digital celebrity originally known for his beauty videos, isn’t a personal
