But you may want to consider investing in padded bike shorts along with your cycling shoes and clothing that you’re okay sweating through. As a Peloton regular who rides most days, I’ve actually never worn a pair of padded bike […]

I am usually pretty focused during my workouts, but earlier this week, I was definitely distracted wondering: How worried should I really be about the new coronavirus at the gym? After just reading all the news about the spread of the new coronavirus, it was very hard to concentrate on my upper-body routine with the […]
Although I’ve been a registered yoga teacher for over a decade and an instructor for group fitness classes for the past few years—as well as a certified personal trainer—I still get a little insecure whenever I step into an unfamiliar studio as a participant and join a new fitness class for the first time. Everyone […]

It may be hard to believe, but spring is just around the corner, which means it’s probably about time to retire that puffer jacket for some lighter layers. Although we love a good hygge moment, warmer temperatures—and April showers—tend to call for more lightweight pieces that can still withstand the elements. Just in time, Moosejaw […]
So it’s not surprising that she gets a ton of motivation from working with volunteer assistant coach BJ Das—a professional dancer who has performed live with Beyoncé, Pink, and Usher—to get her gymnastics routines on point. “It’s been really amazing.

I know: This is both a completely banal truism and an annoyingly accurate statement. There were the lifestyle changes (farewell, boozy late nights!), the emotional changes (hello, weird hormones […]
Although I get awkwardly uncomfortable and squeamish when someone classifies me as an “expert” in any of the subjects I have actually studied or racked up 10,000-plus hours practicing (like fitness, yoga, public health, wellness), there is one topic in which no amount of imposter’s syndrome could ever shake my confidence.

Strong hamstrings (the muscles that run along the back of your thighs) are important, since they help you extend your hips and flex your […]
As far as runners go, I’m pretty chill about my gear: As long as my running shoes don’t actively hurt my feet, the elastic on my sports bra hasn’t completely stretched out, and my iPod Shuffle is charged, I’m ready to go. So the concept of “running socks” isn’t something I’ve really taken to heart, […]
