Whether you’re a frequent or infrequent gym-goer, there’s a good chance you’ve done crunches. Crunches are a classic core-strengthening exercise.

A fever has always been somewhat of a “red flag” symptom when it comes to illness — and concern over fever has increased over the last few years with the COVID-19 pandemic, given that it’s one of the telltale symptoms. But having a fever above normal adult temperature is not always a sign to panic.

Many people consider naps glorious. Lying down in the middle of the day can help you feel refreshed and ready to tackle your afternoon. But if you’re someone who wakes up from naps feeling more exhausted — or even sick to your stomach — the quick snoozes don’t always feel beneficial or even enjoyable. Most

Gather ’round, team! Coach Lasso has an important message to share. On March 20, Jason Sudeikis and the cast of “Ted Lasso” — including Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Toheeb Jimoh, and Brendan Hunt — joined President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House to spread a message of “positivity, hope, kindness,

A lot goes on behind closed doors. In the April 2023 issue of Rolling Stone, Ed Sheeran spoke about spending much of 2022 dealing with grief and recovering from an eating disorder, despite all of his professional success. In the span of a year, the 32-year-old musician’s wife, Cherry Seaborn, underwent surgery to remove a

For those trying to maintain their workout routine during Ramadan, fasting can present some challenges. Considering you can only eat and drink before the sun rises and after the sun sets, you have to be a little more strategic with your workout timing.

In theory, there are many reasons to love IUDs. They’re a set-it-and-forget-it option for birth control. One doctor’s appointment, and you’re covered for years, without having to remember to take a daily pill. But in practice, IUDs can be a little intimidating, and you may have a lot of questions about them. How painful is

Dwayne Johnson may be forever known as “The Rock”, but he works hard to earn the nickname every day. This weekend, the “Black Adam” star hit up his private gym (known as the “Iron Paradise”) for a Saturday training session, and the workout is enough to turn anyone’s arms to Jell-O. He shared the routine,

Breast cancer is the second-most common cancer in women in the United States, and it’s responsible for about 30 percent of all new female cancers each year, according to the American Cancer Society. With that, screening for this disease is important — and the gold standard is via mammogram. If you’ve never had a mammogram

From the meat dress and her Oscar-nominated role in “A Star Is Born” to her raw documentary “Gaga: Five Foot Two,” Gaga has been making statements and dropping jaws every step of her career. Most recently,

Daydreams are the land of “what ifs.” A combination of imagination and speculation, daydreams are an opportunity for people to emotionally consider what they haven’t yet experienced. These fantasies may be as simple as thinking of an upcoming graduation and imagining how proud you’ll feel or thinking about falling in love with someone. Sometimes, though,

Look, I’m all about the jumping, sprinting, high-impact cardio when I’m exercising outside or in my gym’s studio. But when it comes to working out in my apartment, when one wrong burpee could send me crashing into my downstairs neighbors’ living room? Not the best idea. Recently, I’ve gotten really into doing low-impact cardio workouts

Green, glorious, and filled with good-for-you ingredients, Trader Joe’s selection of prepackaged salads are the easy lunch staples you’ve been looking for.

Image Source: Getty / Lionel Hahn Once a day, a friend of mine takes an hour-long mental break from work and walks around her neighborhood, sans headphones. “Must be nice,” I thought as she described this meditative practice, knowing the same would never be awarded to me. Why? Because she is a white woman and

To a cardio newbie, running can seem incredibly simple to take up. After all, the sport doesn’t involve any fancy equipment, has no set-in-stone rules to follow, and is just a fast-paced version of walking, right? Those ideas are true to an extent. But slipping on a random pair of sneakers and pounding the pavement

At a friend’s sixth-grade birthday party, I dove off the high board of the community pool and accidentally belly flopped into the water. When I was 15, I jumped off a boat in Lake Tahoe and got caught in the current, causing me to lose my breath and swallow a lot of water. The summer

In the 5 a.m. dawn light, Jennifer Lopez takes off sprinting — like, really hauling ass — down the beach. That would be a tall ask for any celeb for a simple commercial spot (I’m pulling a hammy just watching), but for J Lo, it’s kind of NBD. “I’ve had to perform at a high

I can’t scroll through TikTok without seeing a video about either Ozempic or buccal fat removal. The videos range from before and afters to Stitches critiquing the popularity of these trends. For those who may be unfamiliar, Ozempic is a medication typically prescribed to those who have diabetes, but it is now being touted as

Jordan Chiles already has a pretty padded resume, between her Olympic, World, and National champ medals, history-making podium sweeps, and multiple break-the-internet floor routines. But she just added another accomplishment to the list: the UCLA sophomore and Olympic silver medalist set a new top all-around score in the country for this season of college gymnastics.
