Get excited: we’re Instagram Live-ning it up with another week of real-time workouts on @POPSUGARFitness! The schedule’s packed with a variety of trainers and workouts to match whatever you’re in the mood for. (Check out that special guest on Saturday . . .)

Now that I’ve been exercising at home, my workouts aren’t nearly as long or intense as they were when I was working out at my CrossFit gym. I’m actually really enjoying this time to listen to my body and do the exercises I want to do. Best of all, since I’m not commuting back and

I’ve been working out consistently for more than 10 years, always in a gym or studio and never at home. I’ve tried everything from kickboxing and big-box gyms to Pilates and personal training. Currently my love is F45, where I get the benefit of high-intensity interval training, weights, a supportive community, and a feeling that

If you’re trying to lose weight, limiting refined white sugar is a step in the right direction: one cup contains 774 calories and 200 grams of sugar. But when you’re craving a chocolate chip cookie, you want it to taste like Grandma’s — not like a dull, tasteless cracker. There are many all-natural sugar substitutes,

You don’t have to have every hour of your day accounted for, but a daily routine can help you optimize your day, alleviate and prevent stress, and keep you on task and organized. If your schedule has been disrupted and you find yourself waking up at different hours every day, forgetting or skipping workouts altogether,

One of the main reasons people buy organic produce is to eliminate the risk of pesticides from their diet. Even with a good wash, however, you may still be paranoid that you can’t get everything off. Since any produce — organic or not — is handled considerably before it makes it to the market, washing

Wouldn’t it be nice to live on a farm with your own garden patch out back? You could walk out the door, pick your tomatoes, and never worry about a pesticide ever touching your salad. But alas, most of us don’t have that luxury. In that case, the best advice is to buy organic, especially

Self-care is a little different for everyone. It’s whatever you as an individual need to boost your mood or take care of your mental health. Your version of self-care can be anything you need it to be, whether it’s going to therapy or refining your beauty routine. There’s no rule, though, that says self-care has

Let’s face it; sports bras can be tough to shop for. They need to be functional and supportive, but they should also be pretty enough to be seen peeking through a tank or rocking on their own. Lululemon has got cute, supportive sports bras down, but it can be tricky figuring out which one to

Right now, workout clothes aren’t just workout clothes. They’re also office clothes, lounge clothes, cooking clothes, and even sometimes pajamas (hey, no judgment). So, we’re stocking up on new, comfortable styles that will keep us comfy and also inspire us to get moving. It’s a win all around. There are super cute styles at Target

Like many, my everyday routine looks a lot different these days. In a matter of a week, I went from walking over two miles to and from work, bouncing all over town for dinners, and training for a number of races. Now, my races are canceled, I have my groceries delivered, and my longest walk

Working from home can be as challenging as it is comfortable. Sure, there’s no rushing out the door or fighting morning traffic, but it can feel like you’re always at work — and that can be exhausting and stressful. When your office is also your home, it can be difficult to stay productive and focused,

Lunch breaks are for lunch, sure, but they can also be a good time to move your body, especially if you’re working from home and aren’t getting up as much. Doing your 9-to-5 desk job duties outside of your 9-to-5 office space might eliminate the parameters of a regular work day. Translation? You could find

Many of us are missing the motivation that group fitness classes provide. Whether it’s CrossFit, Orangetheory Fitness, barre, yoga, or Zumba, if you’re feeling a little too socially distant, with a little creativity and technology, you can recreate those group classes at home. Just grab your workout buddies, hop on a video chat, and sweat

Nine days after Tokyo 2020 was officially postponed, I caught up with Olympian, writer, and Olympic Dreams filmmaker Alexi Pappas from afar. It was morning in LA — where I live and where Pappas shares a home with her husband — but late evening in Greece, where Pappas had been training for Tokyo 2020 since

If you’re looking to upgrade your workout routine this week, we’re here to assist.

On April 3, the Centers For Disease Control announced a new recommendation: that all Americans wear cloth face masks in public to slow the spread of the coronavirus. In most parts of the country, it’s still considered safe to walk and run outside as long as you stay six feet away from others at all

As a tennis pro, Serena Williams knows the value of staying limber. Athletes rely on stretching in addition to strength training to prevent injuries and maintain flexibility, and during this time of social isolation, Williams is willing to let followers in on her personal routine. On Friday, she shared an Instagram video which details her

When I feel like anxiety is using my chest as a trampoline, or when my stress levels are getting too high, I do one of five things: take a nap, write down my feelings, relax in a yoga flow, sweat it out on my mat, or listen to music. For me, anything by Maggie Rogers

Those who count themselves in the early-bird fitness club know those precoffee workouts come with a cost. Besides not being able to hit snooze a time or two, early-morning training sessions can also mean you’re dealing with finicky weather. If you’re planning on breaking a sweat long before the sun — and thermometer — begins

There’s just something about seeing that iconic check mark that makes a sneaker feel legit. It’s like an automatic seal of approval; when you wear Nike, you know it’s going to perform, and it’s going to look good. This year, we’re looking for the best sneakers out there, and spoiler alert: we’re into these 14

As we settle into this new normal of staying at home and social distancing to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), one of the biggest changes to people’s routines is missing the in-person fitness community that gyms and fitness studios offer. Sure, there are plenty of at-home workouts available to stream online, on apps, or

After a few years bouncing between meditation apps and classes, I started to wonder if something in my brain was broken or just not wired for meditation. I’d sit down, close my eyes, and start to count my breaths . . . but something just wouldn’t turn off. We all hear that the benefits of
