Whether you’re a budding or bonafide fan, chances are that lately, you’ve had your eye on the [basket]ball.

It seems like there’s always a new workout trending on social media, but the latest one focuses more on exercising your mind than your body. Somatic training is a gentle (like, extremely gentle) style of movement designed to help practitioners both strengthen their mind-body connection, release anxiety, and even heal trauma. The movement #somaticexperiencing has

You’re working at your desk, probably on your fifth Zoom call and second iced coffee of the day, when you realize you haven’t stopped shaking your leg for the past hour. Maybe you don’t even notice this subconscious movement until your roommate or coworker points it out. Though the leg shaking is subtle, it can

Instructor Kaleila Jordan creates a fun, energetic atmosphere with a challenging lower-body workout. This class is a great choice if you’re looking to engage your core, hips, and glutes. You’ll move, twerk, dance, and challenge your body with side-to-side steps, leg lifts, body waves, and high knees across the body. The focused movements help strengthen

We love an exercise snack — a short workout that you can stack with other quickies to create an exercise plan that’s perfectly tailored to what you need that day, or you can do on its own anytime you need a quick hit of movement. And that’s exactly what this 10-minute at-home ab workout is.

Jessica Alexiou was working as a professional dancer and health and fitness coach in 2018 when she began to feel like her body was breaking down. “I started having some really bizarre symptoms. I was gaining weight rapidly. I think I had gained 25 pounds within a month and a half,” Jessica tells POPSUGAR. Then

Trying a dance class for the first time can feel a bit intimidating, but once you get moving, you’ll quickly realize how fun it can be. Plus, the health benefits of dancing extend far beyond just one session. Regular dance workouts can improve your cardiovascular fitness, helping you build your endurance so you can dance

Courtesy of Kristine ThomasonCourtesy of Kristine Thomason Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens are great, but here are a few of my favorite things: eclectic interior design, a wide variety of fitness modalities, dreamy spas, charming libraries, and crave-worthy dining experiences. At the risk of sounding paranoid, it kind of feels like Heimat, a

For many people, fitness is more than a hobby: it’s a priority, or even a lifestyle. And when something’s that important to you, you’re typically willing to find ways to fit it into your budget. But how much is the average person actually willing to spend on fitness? With the popularity of fitfluencers on social

Although we love an intense, in-person class like Orangetheory or F45 Training, at-home workout plans take first place in our hearts. When you can’t (or don’t want to) get out the front door, at-home workouts let you still get movement in, and many of them require no or very little equipment, making them super accessible.

Whether you’re dealing with occasional headaches or frequent migraines, finding the right medication can make all the difference in managing your pain. When a headache strikes, the last thing you want to do is spend time in the drug store contemplating which over-the-counter (OTC) concoction will do the trick. Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol, Tylenol Extra Strength)

Between colostrum smoothies, green powders, and “sleepy girl mocktails,” there’s no shortage of functional beverages to choose (erm, sip) from these days. But while many of these are modern day creations, another popular option, golden milk, has been around for centuries. The key ingredient is turmeric, which gives the drink its signature yellow hue; it’s

When you’re constantly waking up in the middle of the night and wasting the last of your precious sleeping hours wide awake, reaching for a bottle of melatonin may seem like a great idea. It’s readily available, and it’s supposed to help you sleep . . . right? Sleep deprivation can make this logic seem

Oura Ring Gen3 Smart Ring ($299, originally $349) I personally find my Garmin to be too big and bulky for most Pilates moves, especially when I’m putting pressure on my wrists. The Oura Ring is a great alternative, with the ability to track your heart rate, workout, and active calorie burn. While it may not

Alexis Ren is a model, dancer, and wellness entrepreneur, so when I stumbled upon her 10-minute ab workout on YouTube, I knew what I was going be doing the next day. In the video description, Ren said she tries to do this workout every morning. “It’s quick, to the point, and you’ll feel it the

Have you ever walked by an elliptical at the gym and wondered, “Could that contraption be a useful part of my workout routine?” Or perhaps you’ve even hopped on the machine, and thought, “Is this actually doing anything?” The answer: Yes.

While bodyweight exercises can take you far, if you’re able to add weights to your routine, you should. And this lower body workout with weights is a great place to start, since it takes exercises you may already be familiar with — air squats, lateral lunges, step-ups — and just adds resistance. But first, a

In an ever-evolving era of technology, I have proven somewhat resistant to the latest gadgets. I still wear wired headphones to the gym (much to my younger sister’s chagrin), and I’ve been waking up to the same panic-inducing alarm for years. “I don’t need anything else,” I tell myself. “What I have now is just

Not everyone is a fan of exercise, and you’ve probably heard more than a few jokes from people who say they’re “allergic” to working out. But despite the quips, an exercise allergy is a real thing — and it can be serious. The official name for this allergy is exercise-induced anaphylaxis, and it’s a rare

We don’t know about you, but we’re still buzzing from the 2024 WNBA season, which was the most-reviewed regular season ever across ESPN platforms, up 170 percent from last season. It also boasted a jaw-dropping 154 sellouts, a 242 percent increase from 2023, per the WNBA. That’s not even touching some of the players’ individual
