The soccer-esque sport requires athletes to be strong swimmers, handle a ball well, and work together as a team.

We love the Sweat app for the heart-pumping, sweat-inducing HIIT workouts it offers. But the high-impact moves like burpees and jump squats aren’t for everyone, especially if you have joint pain or live in an apartment and can’t jump around. Luckily, new Sweat trainer Samantha Ortiz-Young has a low-impact HIIT program for the app as

Blogilates creator Cassey Ho wasn’t always famous for Pilates: she started off playing tennis at a young age, and her dad was her coach, so naturally, she loved to move. In high school, Ho was preparing for a pageant and found Pilates because she’d seen the Mari Winsor Pilates DVDs. “I begged my mom to
