David Beckham just took his winter workout to the next level. The 47-year-old former professional soccer player shared a clip of him taking a dip in a cold plunge tub on Instagram. Surrounded by trees and grass outside, he sits in an outdoor pool wearing just a pair of briefs and a beanie. With the sound on, you can hear him take a few deep breaths, clearly putting in an effort to stay in the seemingly chilly water. “WOW 🥶 Still thawing out 2 days later 🥶,” writes Beckham in the caption of his post. Beckham is only the latest…
Gratitude is an awesome feeling. Identifying all that’s good in our lives and giving thanks for it has a way of grounding us, reminding us that, no matter what, we’re lucky to be on this planet every day. When we count our blessings, it often puts frustrations (and even the bigger stressors in life) into perspective. From a vantage point of thankfulness, we’re better able to see the upside, even in the tough stuff. Wish you could hang onto the good vibes of gratitude even longer? One way to do so is to put your thanks on paper. Gratitude journaling…
When you’re in the midst of a killer sweat session, gratitude, which Merriam-Webster defines as “the state of being grateful; thankfulness”—may not be the first word that comes to mind. (More like I can’t wait for this ish to be over!) But it should be. “It’s easy to be grateful when things are going well,” says Lauren Solomon, a Harlem-based yoga instructor, reiki practitioner, and doula. “During challenges is when the practice of gratitude is all the more important as it shifts your focus from what we may perceive as problematic to those areas that are working out well.” Solomon,…
I always welcome a second opinion before I buy new items. That’s why I often turn to celebrities for all sorts of recommendations, from comfy sneakers to skincare products. Because let’s be honest — online shopping can be a hit or miss. Now that I’m obsessed with reviving my thinning strands, I’m taking suggestions from a few Hollywood stars. Jennifer Garner, Nicole Kidman, Alyssa Milano, and Sharon Stone are all no strangers to hair loss. Fortunately, they haven’t been shy about it, either. If you want to rescue your thin strands as well, I’ve got you covered. I’ve compiled the…
Dead bugs are an underappreciated secret weapon for preventing and addressing back pain, building core strength, and increasing core awareness for better movement. Exercises that build a strong core are essential to any fitness routine. Not only is core strength required to power your runs, squats, and hikes, but a weak and unstable core can lead to back pain. It can also hamper your coordination and stability for everyday functional movements such as stepping over obstacles, reaching and rotating to move objects, or picking up groceries or kids. One of the best ways to prevent and address low back pain…
In This Article The skin is your largest organ, and its primary job is to provide a physical barrier that protects you from the outside world. But if things don’t function as they should, you might start to notice irregular or even unpleasant symptoms like infections, pimples or other bumps and lumps. While some skin symptoms are nothing to worry about, others might need to be addressed with a health care professional. In some instances, you’ll want to get treatment before an issue worsens. That’s certainly the case with certain causes of armpit bumps. The tricky part, though, is the…
Over the past decade, running shoe technology has evolved dramatically. As a result, we’ve seen dozens of world and national records smashed, from sprint events to the marathon. Of course, training programs have advanced at the same time, but there’s no denying that the technology behind “super shoes” has changed how we race. The secret to these speedy sneaks? A superlight, propulsive addition known as the carbon plate. These ultra-fast shoes “have a stiff carbon plate embedded in the midsole,” says Caroline Bermel, head shoe reviewer at Fleet Feet. “Carbon fiber is lightweight, extremely stiff, and has a high degree…
To be “cool as a cucumber” means you’re chill, undisturbed, and laid-back. This idiom accurately reflects the vibe of this food. Cucumbers’ flavor is cool and mild, and their texture is delightfully crisp. If you’ve ever crunched into a fresh cucumber during the summer harvesting season of May to August, you’ve experienced the pleasure firsthand. Of course, digging into raw crudités isn’t the only way to enjoy cucumbers. These veggies—which are, by botanical definition, technically fruits—have uses for everything from salads and pickles to spa days. Is there any other food that makes a great relish or salsa and soothes…
