Muscle soreness is about as comfortable as running into your ex in the weight room (meaning, not at all). And even worse is delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which can be even more brutal. Though they’re not exactly the same thing (more on that later), muscle soreness and DOMS are often used interchangeably, and both

As we witness women’s sports breaking records left and right, money has consistently been at the center of the conversation. People want to know what pay equity really looks like. But in addition to debates about revenue shares and sponsorship dollars, there’s another factor that must be considered: financial literacy. After all, it’s hard to

People talk a lot about the bittersweet feelings that surround age-related milestones like turning 30 or 40. But one milestone you don’t hear so much about: when you realize you’re older than all the Olympic athletes competing in your favorite sport. Did I really think I would one day qualify to join the USA Gymnastics

The Paralympic Games are an incredible display of athletic performance and grit, a time when disabled athletes get to bring new eyes to their parasports. However, thanks to classification systems that many athletes claim are exclusionary or impractical, there are whole swaths of para-athletes who cannot qualify to compete on an international stage. These disabled

For the most part, we look askance at anything that dubs itself a “hack” that can help you reach your fitness goals. When it comes to training, consistency is really the name of the game, and so-called shortcuts are a losing game. But if there’s one exception to that rule, it’s eccentric movement, which is

In the latest problematic thing happening on the internet: middle-aged women are getting shamed for the ways they’re choosing to move their bodies. TikTokers are capturing these women doing a variety of nontraditional workouts (think: cardio drumming, trampolining, aerial bungee, or working out in Moon Boots). The videos then poke fun at these women, for

My health and fitness journey has always felt like an uphill battle. Raised watching Latine TV network shows where thin, hourglass-shaped bodies were the standard of beauty, I saw exercise as a means to an end, and an unachievable one at that. However, my perspective has changed recently after Latina role models in the running

With the Paris 2024 Olympics on the horizon, teams are solidifying, putting Caitlin Clark at the center of yet another debate in the world of sport. Fans of the Indiana Fever player were undoubtedly waiting for Clark’s name to be announced for Team USA women’s basketball. But the college phenom recently confirmed that she did

Moving your body is supposed to feel good, bringing with it beneficial side effects like better sleep, stronger bones, and a boosted mood. But sometimes, working out can feel more like a headache — literally. If you’re wondering why you get headaches when you exercise, you’re not alone. According to Elizabeth Barchi, MD, a sports

If you’re anything like me, your social media feed is dominated by cottage cheese. Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even dessert, cottage cheese is having a main-character moment. And while this trendy dairy product can morph into countless recipes (cottage cheese ice cream, pancakes, toast, and omelets!), you can’t help but wonder: is

In my opinion, taking time for yourself to work out is one of the best forms of self-care. But if you’re not sure what to do in the gym, it might not feel all that rejuvenating. Instead of letting stress creep up as you scan the gym to figure out which machines are free and

Actor Michael B. Jordan knows that not everyone has equal access to fitness resources. Whether it’s being able to afford a gym membership or simply having nearby safe parks to run, play, or exercise in, there are a myriad of barriers to exercise, including factors ranging from socioeconomic to environmental. That’s why Jordan is continuing

If it’s important to you to work out while on vacation, you’re certainly not alone.

Getting an intrauterine device (aka IUD) is a big decision. For all the people who adore their IUDs (myself included), there are plenty of horror stories about perforation and expulsion, not to mention excruciating implantation experiences — and yes, I had one of those too. Just like with any medical procedure or prescription medication, you

Fiber is like a Swiss army knife in the nutrition world, offering a multitude of functions that benefit our health. Not only does it aid in digestion by adding bulk to stool and preventing constipation, but it also helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar. Additionally, high-fiber snacks and meals can

Have you ever tried the lawn mower exercise? And no, I’m not referring to pushing a metal device across your front yard to trim the grass. The lawn mower exercise is a type of row that can help build scapular stabilization. And if you’ve never heard of it, that’s not entirely surprising, considering that most
