Olympic medalist Simone Biles is on another level — it’s hard to argue against it. Biles has brought a daring and innovative approach to gymnastics, continuously working to elevate the standard for the sport as a whole.

Not only do Olympians get bragging rights that they are the most talented athletes in the world, but they also get a ton of very cool Olympic gear — and this year, many athletes from across the world are taking to TikTok to show off their Olympic kits. Often, the team kits include a massive

Simone Biles truly seems to defy physics at times. One example is back in 2019, when Biles became the first female gymnast to perform a huge triple-double in her floor routine. Another is Biles’s famous Yurchenko double pike, which she first debuted in 2021 and she brought out again this week during a podium training

I’ll take a selfie for a lot of reasons, from a shiny hair day to a chance get a shot with a cute dog. Nice moments, for sure — but not necessarily the most memorable times in my life. But you know what is indisputably selfie-worthy? The moment you win a medal at the Olympics.

It’s a lot of people’s dreams to set a Guinness World Record, though they never come close. Laura Biondo, meanwhile, has broken 15. The soccer freestyler, who was born in Venezuela, started playing soccer at 10 years old. Since then, she’s taken on many impressive challenges, including all of those world records and a stint

There’s a lot we get wrong about intrusive thoughts. Although they’re sometimes mistaken as unusual ideas or embarrassing opinions, intrusive thoughts are more than unconventional — they’re completely unwanted. Rather than normal anxiety about school, finances, or relationships, these thoughts are disturbing, unsettling, and can cause significant distress (the idea that you may lose a

It’s never been a debate on whether or not breakdancers are incredible athletes, but their craft is finally recognized as an Olympic sport. Officially known as breaking, the hip-hop subculture is heading for the upcoming summer 2024 Games in Paris, so it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the common breakdancing moves. First, a little history lesson.

You use your arms and shoulders daily (think pushing, pulling, and lifting items above your head), so it’s imperative you incorporate upper-body exercises into your workout routine. “Strengthening the arms and shoulders can reduce the risk of overuse injuries, which are common due to repetitive motions in daily life like opening doors, carrying groceries, and

Tennis is incredibly fun to watch even when you’re not totally sure what’s going on — but it’s even more gripping when you’re in the know.

Every athlete has their pre-game rituals. Whether it’s a mantra before hitting the track or a special drink order and music playlist, pros tend to stick to a routine before the start of a competition. You’ll probably see a few of them at the upcoming 2024 Olympics. One ritual that’s sure to make an appearance:

Whether you’re a complete beginner, fairly new to working out, or already an avid gym goer, the importance of the basic fundamental movement patterns can never be overlooked. We recognize that not everyone may have easy access to a gym, or even a safe outdoor space, like a park, to work out in. It can

With warm and empowering messaging, instructor Mercedes Owens leads this 30-minute glutes session with tons of laughs, all while putting in the work. “Everything doesn’t have to be pretty or perfect. Sometimes you have to trek through the mud, get dirty, and walk away from things stronger,” she tells the class during the lower-body burn.

“Push through the shakes.” It’s a familiar refrain in Pilates, barre class, and other low-impact workouts. However, the feeling — and sight — of your muscles physically shaking or twitching can be concerning. Is it truly something you should ignore? Or is it a sign to take things slow? And is the quivering even worth

The 2024 Olympics are right around the corner — something Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad would typically be celebrating. But this year, she’s calling the Games, or rather its host, “shameful.” “When I think of sport, I think of [it] as being an inclusive space — a space where you can come as you,” Muhammad tells PS.

When you’re with Sunny Choi, the sun will come out today, actually. Or at least that’s how it feels. After just one conversation with the first-ever woman breakdancer to represent the US at the 2024 Olympics, I felt I suddenly had the strength to conquer all my goals, clean my closet, and fit in a

Rowing isn’t just for college athletes anymore — it’s a full-body workout growing in popularity across fitness studios, gyms, and homes throughout the country.

Before runner Alexi Pappas competed at the Rio Olympics, she had never heard of the post-Olympic blues. “This was 2016, and so it wasn’t very common for people to be open about their mental health,” she says. In retrospect, she says she’d seen her teammates struggle mentally after previous Olympics, but she never connected the
