Meditation has been a part of my life in different ways for the last few years. Most recently, it has been a way for me to handle stress, sleep better, and help counterbalance the physical training I put my body through. But there’s a part of meditation that has always confounded me that may surprise
I’m always concerned with how my teeth look when I should be paying more attention to my gums for insight into my general dental health. If your gums are swelling, bleeding, discolored (think red, blue, or dark red instead of pink!), receding, or have changed from a firm to spongy texture— these are all signs
In this episode of POPSUGAR’s House Call, host Jeanette Jenkins, creator of The Hollywood Trainer Club, calls up a friend, who also happens to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time: Venus Williams.

Have you ever walked into your favorite fitness store, looking to pick up a pair of incredible leggings, but ended up leaving wanting everything in sight? Well . . . same. We love gear, but it doesn’t always come cheap; that’s why we often hold off on buying our favorites and wait to add them
Slowly but surely, this runner has learned the value of strength training. I’ve learned to embrace curls, rows, and squats just as much as my morning runs during this year of home workouts. What’s more, I’ve collected a few more training-specific accessories along the way. My UA HOVR™ Rise 2 Training Shoes ($100), hand weights,
Making the switch from a manual to electric toothbrush is a big decision — there are so many different options out there, and they tend to be on the pricey side. So if you’re going to splurge on upgrading your dental care routine, you want to make sure you’re going with the best possible choice.
I first realized I needed to make a change in my life while I was waiting for my ice cream to soften in the microwave. I know many people will have feelings about that — but this isn’t about my habit of microwaving ice cream. This story is about the fact that, while I was
COVID-19 vaccines are starting to be distributed, but according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, masks are still one of the best tools we can use to slow the spread of the coronavirus. To inspire people to continue wearing masks, the band The Mental Notes from Johns Hopkins University created this amazing and creative “WAP” parody called
When the group chat goes off with questions about birth control and sex, sometimes it’s hard to know how to respond. Franchesca Ramsey has definitely been there — so she called ob-gyn Dr. Kiarra King to get the lowdown on their contraception options and myth bust some safe sex questions. Hit play to watch Dr.
Eating a healthy lunch? Check. Exercise? Check. Drinking more water, finding some quiet time to yourself, going to be early? Eh, those feel-good habits are a little harder to keep top of mind. While New Year’s resolutions will likely look a little different this year — who else put “travel more” at the top of
Treadmills can be polarizing. You either love running on one or you feel like you’re on an endless hamster wheel. I happen to be in the second camp. As a marathon runner, I gravitate toward long stretches of city streets or my favorite river park. But the second I lace up my UA HOVR™ Phantom
As someone who picked up running as an adult, I never had a running coach or was a part of a high school track or cross country team. So, everything I’ve learned about the sport has been from, well, just getting out there and running. For the most part, I’ve been able to lace up
If you have 15 minutes to spare, congratulations: that’s just enough time to sneak in this 10-move HIIT workout from Jeanette Jenkins, creator of The Hollywood Trainer Club, and former NFL star DeMarcus Ware. In this episode of POPSUGAR’s House Call, Jenkins and Ware lead us through tough bodyweight moves like alternating lunges, hollow body
Buying activewear can get expensive. Considering that we need enough leggings to get through our weekly workouts as well as our Netflix-sessions (they’re really comfortable!), shopping for workout gear can really run up your credit card bill. That’s why we were thrilled to discover Old Navy’s huge selection of stylish and affordable workout clothes that
While the holidays can bring a lot of cheer, they can also come with pain. You may be grieving a loved one, seeing a family member who’s hurt you in the past, or struggling to handle the changes to your routine. For many people, the holidays can also be hard for another reason: They’re working
On Nov. 30, Moderna announced it will submit a request to the US Food and Drug Administration as well as the European Medicines Agency to authorize its coronavirus vaccine for emergency use. The request came Monday after Moderna shared data showing that its vaccine is 94.1 percent effective and that its study of 30,000 people
Although many of us will have much different-looking holidays this season, some of us will still be hitting the road. If you’ve opted to avoid plane travel and a road trip is on your calendar, it’s important to remember the effects sitting for long periods of time can have on the body. “Muscles get tight
On Dec. 18, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received her first dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, as Congress members became eligible for the shots under government continuity guidelines. The New York representative shared the simple vaccination process on her Instagram Stories Friday evening. “Just like wearing a mask, I’d never advise you to do something I wasn’t willing
Running on a treadmill is a great way to stay active when the cold winter weather forces you indoors. To make the most out of your running workout, though, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Among the many things that changed in 2020, people’s exercise routines looked a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, many athletic competitions, like races, were cancelled this year. But according to Strava’s annual Year in Sport Data Report, that didn’t stop users of the fitness app from tackling their wellness goals. Hundreds of
It’s been a long, busy, action-packed, stressful year. And a great way to tell a loved one that you care about them during the holidays would be to give them some much-needed (and likely long overdue) self-care. Because, let’s face it, some of the best gifts to give are those we’d like to receive ourselves,
When it comes to shopping for workout leggings, fit is very important to me. Pants need to be the right length, have just the right amount of compression, and be mid- to high-waisted because that offers me the most amount of comfort.
