Most of the conversation around focus is obsessed with getting in. How to enter deep work. How to reach flow. And how to finally concentrate. We treat attention like a door we just need to push hard enough to open. But the spheres of attention tell a different story. Reaching the center is only half of it — and not the half that quietly costs you. If you watch your own days closely, the more interesting half isn’t the way in. It’s the way out — the quiet, unannounced slide back toward the surface that happens while you’re convinced you’re…
The plank puts your full-body stability to the test. If you’re looking to improve or build core strength, planks are an excellent place to start. This low-impact isometric exercise may look simple, but it’s excellent for sculpting your core, back, glutes, and shoulders while you hold the position and stabilize. But as with many exercises, it can be challenging to determine the right number of sets and reps—or prescribed time—that will deliver the biggest bang for your buck. That’s why we spoke with Bruno Pontes, an ACSM and AFAA-Certified Personal Trainer with fitness app Muscle Booster, who says if you…
Some relationships end with a clear break. Most just quietly run out of road. You keep waiting for clarity to hit like a lightning bolt, and instead you just feel tired, confused, and a little guilty for even questioning it. We’ve all been there, or maybe you’re living it right now, reading this on your phone while the person in question sits in the next room. Either way, you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy for wondering. Figuring out whether to stay or go is one of the hardest things any of us will sit with, which is why we…

Five stability moves to test your balance, control, and coordination after 60 Balance is one of those physical abilities most people don’t think much about until it starts slipping away. But once you reach 60, the National Institutes of Health says maintaining balance becomes more important than ever because it affects nearly every aspect of daily life, from walking and climbing stairs to carrying groceries and getting up from a seated position. You may not realize that balance involves more than your feet or standing on one leg. It relies on multiple systems working together simultaneously, including your muscular strength,…
By now you’ve probably heard about GLP-1s, sold under brand names such as Ozempic and Wegovy. This class of medications mimics naturally occurring hormones involved in appetite control and blood sugar regulation to treat type 2 diabetes and aid weight-loss efforts. It should be no surprise, then, that conversations around these popular drugs have largely centered on the scale. However, some scientists are starting to look more closely into how they may impact something perhaps even more personal: our sex lives.At present roughly one in five Americans reports taking or having taken a GLP-1, according to a recent poll. As…
The United States national soccer team broke a 96-year streak at the World Cup on June 19 after beating Australia and earning its first back-to-back win in the tournament since 1930. What the Victory Over Australia Means for Team USA The historic performance against Australia at Seattle Stadium saw team USA follow up on its 4-1 thrashing of Paraguay with a sound 2-0 victory against the Aussies. And there was more to this victory than a single win, because the result marked the first time since the inaugural World Cup, back in 1930, that the team had enjoyed consecutive wins. The…
Performing a glute bridge with proper form translates to acing everyday tasks. If your goal is to build core strength, bridge holds should definitely be a priority in your workouts. For this exercise, you lie flat on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor as you lift your hips and form a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Sounds like fun, right? It’s extremely productive, since holding the position activates your transverse abdominis and forces your muscles to stabilize your pelvis and spine. If you’re already a fan, you can check just how strong…
Have you ever had one of those days where everything feels a little off, but you can’t quite put your finger on why? Maybe you’re more irritable than usual. Maybe your home feels cluttered no matter how much you clean it. Maybe you’ve been carrying around the same stress, conversation, or mental to do list for days and it’s starting to catch up with you. Sometimes what we’re feeling isn’t something we can solve with another workout, supplement, or productivity hack. Sometimes we simply need a reset. Many spiritual traditions share the belief that energy is meant to move. When…
