Figure skater Kamila Valieva just made history at the 2022 Beijing Games. During her team-event free skate, Valieva became the first woman to successfully land a quad jump at the Olympics, a huge feat to go along with the 15-year-old’s first Olympic medal (a team-event gold, naturally). And in true Valieva fashion, she didn’t stop

Figure skating at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing kicked off on Feb. 4 with the team event, and apparently Team USA decided to put on a show.

Although there are many elements that make up a figure skating program, there are few that are as difficult as the triple axel. While the jump is a mainstay in men’s figure skating, it’s still relatively rare in the women’s event. Among the women competing at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, few have ever

For most of us, planks don’t typically last a long time. Your core starts shaking, your arms start wobbling, your abs are on fire — about 30 seconds in, your body is yelling at you to wrap this up. But for marathoner and running coach Lorena Millan, planking became a personal challenge she knew she

There’s a chance you’ve developed some sort of plan of attack for treating a pimple on your chin or forehead.

There are so many reasons to love cycling. You can do it indoors or outdoors, at home or at the gym. It’s also low-impact, making it easier on achy joints, and of course, it burns calories! But if you’re someone who uses cycling as your go-to workout — or you’re considering adding it to your

I’ve been practicing yoga for 11 years now, six of which I’ve spent as a teacher. In my experience, people who are new to yoga have trouble stabilizing their muscles to find balance even when both of their feet are on the ground. Cueing a student to engage their core and them actually feeling that

When Nia Dennis graduated from UCLA last spring, she knew she still had some gymnastics opportunities ahead of her, namely the Gold Over America Tour with a rockstar roster of world-class gymnasts, many of whom she grew up competing against.
