If you tuned into the Olympics this year and were one of the viewers wowed by the talent and gameplay of Team USA’s beach volleyball duo, Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth, you’re not alone. The two are a treat to watch. Meeting at LSU, they come from New Orleans and Sioux Falls, respectively, and have

Making eye contact with your gym crush in the weight room mirror. Scraping your shins when pulling the deadlift bar. There’s no shortage of things that can make you uncomfortable at the gym. But the most common discomfort — the discomfort of sore muscles — usually happens after you’ve finished your workout. Put simply, muscles

I was a competitive distance runner for years, and my teammates had a saying to help motivate us on days when we weren’t feeling it: You never regret going for a run. It was true — we all felt happier, peppier…and just better after going on runs. In college, I regularly logged 90 miles a

If “Monster” isn’t already considered a Halloween classic, we think this creepy, powerful Halloween dance workout can change that. Get ready for monster claws, punches, and plenty of sweat.

Slightly strapped for time? Look to Jake Dupree for a fun-filled oblique workout that’s only a mere ten minutes. In the session, Jake is assisted by Lily Huber, who does the movements full out, and Rehima Jordan, who shows modifications for each technique throughout the class. If there’s any part of the class where you

Yes, the Olympics have ended. And yes, it was incredible to watch. But if one more person asks, “What am I going to do now that the Olympics are over?” I think I’m going to scream. For equal opportunists like myself, the answer to that question is pretty obvious: watch the Paralympics (starting Aug. 28).

You don’t have to be a fan of the WNBA to have noticed its rise in popularity over the past few years. Game attendance is at an all-time high since the 1990s and viewership is up 183 percent from last season, per ESPN. It’s remarkable, to say the least. But I didn’t realize just how

There were less than 10 minutes left in the semifinal round of the women’s Olympic surfing event in August 2024, and US surfer Caroline Marks was two points behind French athlete Johanne Defay when she saw the good wave coming and took it. Marks got barreled in the Teahupoʻo tube, then switched to turns, earning

Take a walk through your local Whole Foods — or any supermarket, for that matter — and you’re sure to find at least a shelf (if not two or three) stocked with bottles or boxes of coconut water. Clearly, the murky-colored liquid is no longer a new kid on the beverage block. But with so

No one can blame you for not being able to peel your eyes away from elite figure skating (and honestly, same). But between the sport’s complicated scoring system, the vast number of skills the skaters perform, and the onslaught of sequins, it’s OK if you’re feeling as overwhelmed as you are fascinated. To make the

Over the years, I’ve tried various fitness classes ranging from HIIT, dance cardio, and indoor cycling to lower impact workouts like Pilates and yoga, mixing in weightlifting and treadmill work at the gym. I’d never enjoyed a workout enough to commit to a full membership — until I tried F45 Training in late 2022. A

The transition from being a star collegiate athlete to a rookie on a professional team can be rocky, regardless of your sport or your gender. But in the small and hyper-competitive WNBA (just twelve teams with twelve players each) — that transition can be especially challenging. Often, teams only have capacity to sign one or

In Paris, the final day of the Olympic Games for Team USA Women’s Gymnastics took an unexpected turn for one gymnast in particular — Jordan Chiles. During the women’s floor exercise final event on Aug. 5, Team USA put on a strong showing — and so did several other gymnasts, including Rebecca Andrade with Team

At the 2024 Paralympic Games this month, wheelchair basketball player Courtney Ryan is competing on the US women’s national team for a shot at gold. But prior to her Paralympic run, the California native played for the Sydney Metro Blues in Australia. That’s because despite boasting some of the best wheelchair basketball athletes in the

The Olympics brings the world’s greatest athletic talents to the same stage, creating an unique energy that’s based on equal parts competitive spirit and genuine admiration. And this year, a new sport is entering the international arena: breaking, commonly known as breakdancing, is the newest Olympic sport, after having been added to the Paris 2024
