September 11, 2019 at 06:31PM by CWC During my yoga teacher training, I was enthralled with the “Om” symbol, my one and only doodling muse. I drew it everywhereâin the margins of my notebooks, on my hands, in the sand at the beachâbut I never stopped to think too much
I tried J. Loâs Hustlers pole dancing workout, and Iâve never felt sexier or stronger
September 10, 2019 at 08:02PM by CWC As a fitness editor who spends a significant portion of her time either working out, thinking about working out, or writing about working out, there’s always something intimidating about walking into a class that I’ve never tried before.

The breakdown of the muscles you use during a spin class that youâve been looking for
September 09, 2019 at 12:02AM by CWC There’s no burn quite like spin class burn. While I’m pedaling away on that bike against the resistance, my muscles are working in overdrive. And I have to admit: Most of the time, the only thing I’m doing during those moments is begging
