What your doodles say about your personality (besides âI canât drawâ)
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.

Ok, TMI: Why do the back of my earrings smell absolutely disgusting?
September 09, 2019 at 11:15PM by CWC Tell me how accurate this scenario is: You’re sitting at your desk in the office, or cozied up on the couch, twirling your earring back (which is a soothing thing to do with your hands, much like twirling your hair or clicking a
The 2-minute nail art design to steal if you hate doing your nails yourself
September 09, 2019 at 06:43PM by CWC Getting a manicure is kind of like the ultimate therapy for me. You sit thereâphone stashed out of reach in your purseâand totally zen out as your manicurist transforms your nails. Doing your own nails at home, however, might not have quite the

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

How a minimalist bedroom helps you to declutter the rest of your life
September 07, 2019 at 06:01PM by CWC Creating a minimalist bedroom is easier said than doneâespecially when you live in an apartment. I mean, there’s a Pilates reformer chillin’ next to my bed, a mini office set-up in the entryway, and a closet that’s overflowing with things that don’t fit

September 06, 2019 at 07:21PM by CWC I like to think of my tank collection as a scrapbook of sweaty workouts past.

These boots were made for walkingâŚlike, a lot
September 05, 2019 at 05:35PM by CWC You’ll find plenty of shoes and sneakers you can wear all day without getting any number of miscellaneous body aches.

Think you could pass the U.S. Army sit-up test?
September 05, 2019 at 12:01PM by CWC If you thought you knew what the perfect sit-up looked like, you’re probably wrongâat least according to the military. The general technique for the U.S. Army sit-up standards are familiarâknees bent, feet on the floor, and a continual up-and-down motionâbut a few adjustments

September 04, 2019 at 08:41PM by CWC When I was seven, a camp counselor at the Warwick, Rhode Island YMCA taught me how to make a friendship bracelet. She gave me three different colored strings, and demonstrated the “four” pattern I had to follow to tie each individual knot. My

September 01, 2019 at 12:01PM by CWC If feet are measured in inches, then workouts must be measured in sweat… right? Wrong. Up until this morning, I firmly believed that the size of pit stains on my shirts post-exercise directly correlated with the quality of my sweat session. After listening
