August 24, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC Sure, leggings may seem like the perfect seasonless wardrobe staple, but try walking home in them after a sweaty bootcamp when the temperature is over 80 degrees. Not so comfy anymore, are they? In times like these—or as I like to call it, summer—it’s running
August 23, 2019 at 09:52PM by CWC Cardio and strength training are often placed in two separate boxes. (Even at the gym, the free weights tend to be approximately 1,000 leagues away from the treads, spin bikes, and ellipticals.) However, the two fitness modalities don’t have to be two separate
August 23, 2019 at 05:24PM by CWC Can we get a show of hands from those who despise triceps exercises? Oh, cool, everyone? Out of all the different ways you can work out your arms, there’s really no burn like a triceps burn. But there’s no need to continue doing
August 23, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC One of the final frontiers for body positivity in the fitness world: women having muscles. Society has a particular image of what it means to be feminine, and being shredded is often not included in that limited view—to the detriment of athletes across
August 23, 2019 at 12:07AM by CWC After a day spent off Instagram yesterday, I dived into my feed for a few minutes before bed to check in on the latest in #hotgirlsummer content. But instead of a series of smoldering selfies, I found shocking images of the Amazon rainforest
August 22, 2019 at 07:00PM by CWC Social media has become a #fitspo free-for-all. You can tailor Instagram to become your very own digital personal trainer, join a sweat-focused Facebook group, or take to Twitter for the most relatable gym memes around. But when researchers combed tweets about physical activity
August 20, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC Even though there are literally millions of healthy recipes online—and if I do say so myself, some pretty darn good ones on Well+Good—it can be really easy to fall into a meal rut. There are only so many times a person can make
August 20, 2019 at 01:39PM by CWC This morning, I went to a military-style workout at New York City’s Performix House. I was put through 30 grueling minutes of sled pushes, wall hangs, and burpees, which was about 29 more minutes than I could handle. After it was over—and I
August 20, 2019 at 07:34AM by CWC There’s nothing more important than landing in the right pair of shoes for your gym pursuits. That often starts with knowing what kind of foot you have. While “flat” and “high-arched” aren’t exactly as thrilling as discerning, say, your Myers Briggs personality type,
August 19, 2019 at 10:42AM by CWC My high school volleyball team had one music-related rule during every practice. Whenever “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls came on our warmup playlist, we had to cease our bumping, spiking, and blocking and run laps. Whenever one of the girls sang “want” or
August 19, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC I snagged my first-ever pair of running shorts off the clearance rack at Marshall’s. They were splattered in highlighter-colored cheetah spots (so. cute.), and after a three mile road test, they dyed the tops of my thighs so pink that the lower half
August 18, 2019 at 10:02AM by CWC Whenever I walk into a store and spot the back-to-school section, I can’t help but do a quick walk-through. All those notebooks, backpacks, and pencil cases instantly give me a flashbacks to carefree days of being a kid. But why can’t working adults
August 18, 2019 at 04:02AM by CWC On laundry day, I usually rely on my trusty big brand detergent to get the job done. Sure, I know there’s absolutely nothing natural looking about the powder blue liquid and I can’t pronounce virtually any of the ingredients (ethanaminium? I don’t know
August 17, 2019 at 02:00PM by CWC If you have difficulty expressing yourself or speaking your truth, an energy healer is likely to say that your throat chakra is a bit out of whack. And luckily, they might add, there’s a crystal that could help with that. Actually, there are

August 17, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC As a vegetarian, there are some staples you know you’re going to have on hand: tofu, grab-and-go snacks full of protein for your gym bag, and a good bacon substitute. If you haven’t been using the air fryer to make all of the
August 16, 2019 at 01:00PM by CWC You’ll be hard-pressed to see me schlepping around with less than two bags at any given time. (Gym bag, purse, laptop bag… the list of bags really goes on and on.) But I tend to view this as an annoyance—I’ve grown to hate
August 16, 2019 at 09:14AM by CWC When it comes to the healthiest way to nourish your body, there’s a lot of information out there. Between figuring out which eating plan to follow, what the deal is with sugar in fruit, or if buzzy trends like celery juice are worth
August 15, 2019 at 09:45AM by CWC There are few things in this world more uncomfortable than having to go through a day without a shower. By 11 a.m., your body starts to feel sticky and gross, and by the time that lunch rolls around, every other thought that pops
August 15, 2019 at 08:23AM by CWC In college, I had an (admittedly weak) comedic bit about how cardio machine hopping was my version of bar hopping. The 45 minutes I spent at the gym consisted of bouncing from the treadmill to the stairclimber to the elliptical with no real
August 15, 2019 at 04:02AM by CWC My boyfriend is hanging upside down when I realize—holy crap—I’m head over heels in love with him. We’re at a rock climbing gym in Queens, and I’m gawking up at his six-foot frame alongside a group of his closest friends as he scales
August 14, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC In theory, getting up early for a pre-work yoga class is never a bad idea—it can help to undo the tech neck, tight hips, and lower-back aches brought on by the daily grind and intensified by long stretches of time in bed. But
August 14, 2019 at 02:01AM by CWC In this age of I’m-too-busy-for-an-actual-meal, we have become a society of snackers. (Shout out to everyone literally eating a snack right now as you read this.) Walk into any drugstore and there’s at least half an aisle devoted to protein bars. Even avocado
August 13, 2019 at 08:36AM by CWC If asked to describe myself in a sentence, or even in a string of adjectives, “left-handed” likely wouldn’t make the cut. There are just so many other traits and preferences that that I think more accurately depict me. Like, to name a few:
August 12, 2019 at 09:34AM by CWC In the beyond-brilliant nature documentary series Planet Earth, narrator David Attenborough occasionally says something like, “We now witness a rare sighting of the mating rituals of the rainbow sea anemone.” Or, ya know, something along those lines. For a moment, I truly feel
August 10, 2019 at 10:00AM by CWC When it comes to maximizing your fitness gains, it’s not just enough to do one type of workout, like running or yoga, or to focus solely on a specific muscle group. Instead, you should be targeting the whole body and working on integrating
August 08, 2019 at 02:14PM by CWC For wellness lovers, it’s not unusual for one’s Instagram or Twitter, on any given day, to be filled with images and inspo from pristine spin bikes at SoulCycle or eucalyptus-scented towels draped over one’s shoulders at Equinox. Yesterday proved different. Celebs like Chrissy

The easy way to tell when you need a makeup remover versus a cleanser February 07, 2019 at 01:15PM by CWC Let me count the ways that people wash their faces: There’s team wash in the morning and team twice a day. There are staunch double cleansers (like myself). And then, there
This cult-fave polish brand is coming to Target, so I’d better learn how to paint my own nails February 08, 2019 at 10:18AM by CWC I could write a master’s thesis on all of the beauty brands worth buying at Target right now. Love Beauty and Planet! W3ll People! Shea Moisture!
