Cooler temps call for warm, cozy desserts, right? We love a sweet treat as much as the next person, but as often as we like to indulge, it’s always best to try recipes that are healthier than most standard desserts. And that’s exactly what we found when we went in search of these apple-flavored delights.

If your weekly workout routine consists of sprinting, climbing ropes, and moving in every direction possible, you’re going to need gear that supports you during every move you make. We’ve rounded up our favorite sports bras, leggings, and sneakers that will keep everything in place without sacrificing comfort, style, and functionality. No matter the intensity
I started running when I lost my grandma earlier this year. She had Stage 7 Alzheimer’s, and though my yiayia was no longer the same person I had known my entire life, we settled into a new normal. We were always there for each other, and when she lost her voice, it was my turn
My husband and I moved to Austria a little over two years ago and have traveled to many European countries since, but biking through the French countryside may be the single greatest trip I’ve ever taken. While I had never been much of an outdoorsy person, I finally found a hobby that stuck when I
I’ve learned that, despite not being that much of a dancer, dance cardio workouts at home are effective. They can make you break a sweat and are a great alternative to embarrassing yourself at Zumba (yes, I know from experience). Plus, it’s an excuse to spike your heart rate while jamming to some of your
There are plenty of people in the world who love adding some color to their workout wardrobe, and then there are the rest of us. Wearing all black to the gym is a lifestyle choice, and we genuinely can’t imagine putting on anything else. Black makes us feel strong, powerful, and ready to take on
If “chafing” and “bouncing” are part of your day-to-day running vocabulary, it’s time to upgrade your sports bra. Sports bras are generally designed to last less than one year, and since running is a high-impact sport, investing in the right sports bra designed specifically for running can leave you feeling supported, dry, and chafe-free at
My total daily commute is two hours, one hour into the office and one hour back home, and if that sounds bad, you should talk to some of my coworkers. The hours we spend commuting in the car or on public transportation can feel like a time suck, which is why I try to make
We’ve learned through years and years of working out that sometimes, low-impact exercises can give you the most high-impact results. That’s why we love yoga and barre class. Aside from making us feel more zen and centered, the exercises also help us achieve those long, lean lines we’re after. It’s something we can do at
I’m the person who believes that if you look good, you feel good. I also think that before you ever pick up a dumbbell or lace up your sneakers for a run, your workout will instantly be improved if you have a bomb playlist. I can listen to everything from ’90s Mariah Carey to Tupac
We like to consider ourselves relatively healthy individuals, but we can admit that sometimes, a little help is appreciated. It can be tough to stick to our goals, and we’re fans of anything that will keep us accountable. Yes, you can make workout dates with friends or prep lunches in advance, but if your friend
As a nutritionist, I try to choose healthy treats to hand out to kids when they bound up to our door in their adorable Halloween costumes. I’ve tried year after year to convince my husband that handing out stickers and pencils is totally acceptable, but he ranks these trinkets right up there with giving out
It can be difficult to know what’s normal and what’s not when it comes to your period. Is it possible to bleed too much or even too little? How long should your period last, and is it a problem if it hangs around longer? Here’s what I can tell you as a practicing ob-gyn: menses
Any runner knows that when you find the right shoes, you’re halfway to a great workout. If you’ve been searching for the perfect pair to help you crush your fitness goals, look no further. We love sneakers that we can wear for both running and other activities, like boxing, HIIT, or, honestly, just running errands.
Every time we hear Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts,” we’re reminded that we’re badass and “100 percent that b*tch.” It’s become the motivational anthem we need to get through the last round of a challenging HIIT workout or a five-mile run. The Fitness Marshall dropped a new beginner dance workout to “Truth Hurts,” and we cannot wait
Protein bars are the gifts that keep on giving, at least for me; they’re the presents I give myself during my workdays for fuel or after my workouts to help my muscles recover. And, there’s nothing better than bars that tip their hats to the changing seasons and familiar, almost whimsical feeling of home, especially
If one of the things you miss most on the keto diet is Sunday brunches stacked high with syrupy waffles, good news: a cheesy, keto-friendly waffle has taken the internet by storm, and it’s so easy to make. You only need about 10 minutes, two ingredients, and a waffle maker. That’s it. You probably already
Eating a low-carb diet is one of the most effective ways to lose weight, but to make it work, you need to cook your own meals as often as possible. Simply put, cutting carbs works because it usually means cutting out junk, like takeout or processed goods, and replacing it with fresh, lightened-up recipes you
Simone Biles is already known as the GOAT in the gymnastics world, but I wasn’t prepared for the badassery she brought to the baseball field. The 22-year-old Olympic athlete threw the first pitch at game two of the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals on Oct. 23, and she added her
Smoothies are one of the easiest breakfasts you can make. But if you’re trying to get leaner, registered dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, author of The Anti-Inflammatory Kitchen Cookbook told POPSUGAR, “an all-fruit smoothie wouldn’t be the best idea, since it’s a large dose of sugar coming at you at one time with not a lot
Upper-body strength has never been my strong suit, so I get excited about doing exercises that really feel like they’re challenging my arms, shoulders, and back, especially when it’s kind of unexpected. The braveheart, a move from Beachbody’s new Morning Meltdown 100 program, definitely fell in that category. When trainer Jericho McMatthews demoed the move
If you’re looking for a little inspiration to get yourself to the gym, look no further than actress Storm Reid. The star of A Wrinkle in Time and Euphoria regularly posts short videos of her workouts, and we’re honestly super impressed every time. Storm mixes things up in the gym, striking a balance between cardio
When it came to changing her lifestyle habits, Jo Jones said that she’s had a series of “starts and stops” over her 38 years. But the Milwaukee, WI, resident finally wanted to stick with these changes after a diagnosis from her doctor. “The thing that really got me into gear this time is I was
Tom Brady is in his 20th NFL season, and in order to perform at his best he’s got to put in work during his training sessions, fuel his body properly, and make sure that he’s doing recovery work. To stay at the top of his game, Tom trains with Alex Guerrero, the co-founder of TB12,
