Is Walking Exercise?

Alison Heilig — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 10:00:12 +0000

People ask me all the time all the time: “Is walking exercise?” In fact, this debate has gotten quite heated lately on social media — ranging from doctors on famous podcasts saying “don’t be silly walking isn’t exercise” and influencers screaming “people who say walking isn’t exercise are f*cking idiots.” As I’ve watched this back and forth on the topic rage on, I get why this is still confusing for people. Gosh, even the “experts” can’t seem to agree. Here’s the thing — absolute statements are very common on social media because they draw attention and get likes and comments so…

5 Exercises for Stronger Wrists

Karin Weinstein — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 10:00:47 +0000

In today’s digital age, our wrists bear the brunt of our busy lifestyles. From tapping away on keyboards to gripping handheld devices to doing things like push-ups, planks, and downward dog, it’s no wonder wrist pain is a common complaint among fitness enthusiasts, office workers, and athletes alike. But many of us don’t think about wrists are until we’ve got wrist pain. As a personal trainer and yoga teacher, one of the most common requests I receive is for stretches to ease wrist discomfort experienced during workouts and yoga classes. Now I love stretching, however many of the skills in…

Jenn — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 11:00:25 +0000

Do a search for “full-body workout” on the interwebs and you will get A LOT of suggestions. Many of them require equipment … or complicated rep schemes … or lots of time. And, I don’t know about you, but the one thing I don’t need in my life is another cumbersome thing to do or figure out. I just want to pop on some fun tunes (which, here are some good workout playlists suggestions if you need ’em!), move my body, and happily get my sweat on. Who feels me? So, in times like these, I follow a very simple…

2021 Workout Challenge

Jenn — Fri, 01 Jan 2021 12:00:59 +0000

Y’all. We made it through 2020! And we have a great way to celebrate: our 2021 Workout Challenge. Like we’ve done in years past (see here and here), we’ve put together a 2021-themed workout using only bodyweight that you can do at home. This year’s workout has a bit of a challenge aspect to it as well: Set a timer for 21 minutes (because, 2021, of course) and see how many rounds you can get through! As always, modify as needed (wall push-ups or push-ups on knees or toes, marching in place or side-stepping for high-impact moves, etc.) and listen…

Kettlebell Workouts That’ll Make You Stronger

Jenn — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 12:00:12 +0000

Lately, I’ve been in the groove of my workouts. About every other day I make it a point to do something that breaks a sweat — whether it’s going for an easy jog, an interval run, or banging out pull-ups in my garage gym. My home workouts are definitely a habit now — and one that I need (both mentally and physically). But, recently, even though I’m getting out there, I’m not exactly as excited as I once was. I’ve been getting kind of stuck in a rut — just going through the motions. I’ve created a ton of workouts…

Anti-Racism Accounts From People of Color to Follow & Support

Jenn — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 11:00:14 +0000

This post is intended to be a resource for those who have not personally experienced racism but want to learn and become allies. We know that our BIPOC readers and followers have been doing this work all their lives and probably don’t need additional resources (although, hey, these are still great accounts to follow!). We (Jenn and Kristen), as white women, support our BIPOC readers and followers and commit to doing the anti-racism work required to effect change, and encourage those of you who care about dismantling systematic racism to join us. And to anyone who doesn’t believe anti-racism work…
