Barefoot walks on the beach. A day in their favorite high heels. A long training walk ahead of the Camano de Santiago. These are the goals—big and small—of women undergoing foot filler treatments.Using an injectable filler—such as hyaluronic acid or body fat—to add padding to sore feet is not new, though it is gaining in popularity. As early as the 1960s, medical-grade silicone has been used to puff up padding deflated by age, years of wear and tear, and fashionable footwear, especially high heels. All of this puts intense pressure on the balls of the feet—otherwise known as the metatarsals.Over…

There is some form of history made every year at the World’s Strongest Man competition. Someone may win it for the first time, or a new world record could be set out of nowhere. 2026’s edition of this contest saw history as well. Mitchell Hooper reclaimed the title and is now among a small list of men that have won it multiple times. This is the most obvious highlight of the contest, but there was a first for a WSM rookie. Rich Storry/WSM Who Is Levi Strong? Meet Mississippi’s First World’s Strongest Man Competitor Levi Strong (yes, that is his…

Six nightly stretches to ease stiffness and improve mobility after 60, right before bed A good nighttime stretch routine can feel like turning the volume down on your body. After a long day of walking, sitting, driving, chores, workouts, or carrying stress in your shoulders, your muscles and joints usually appreciate a slower transition into rest. Massage can feel great, but a nightly routine gives you something repeatable. You get a few quiet minutes to breathe, move gently, and tell your body the day is winding down. That ramp-down matters after 60 because recovery becomes more valuable. Stretching at night…

Take a look at the ingredient list on most shampoos and you’ll find one ingredient sitting at the very top: water. In fact, many traditional haircare formulas are made up largely of water, something most consumers never think twice about. But as conversations around formulation, ingredient quality, sustainability, and scalp health continue to evolve, more people are starting to ask an interesting question: does haircare really need that much water in the first place? The answer is more nuanced than you might think. While water has long played an important role in traditional formulas, a growing number of brands are…

Walk down any grocery aisle or scroll social media and it’s impossible to miss: high-protein foods are everywhere. Protein chips, protein cookies, protein coffee, protein candy—and now even carbonated seltzer water with protein. As registered dietitians and personal trainers, we understand why protein has become the star of the show. Protein is essential for muscle health, metabolism, blood sugar balance, satiety, and healthy aging. But here’s the truth most marketing leaves out: Not all protein works the same way in the body—and many “high protein” products don’t deliver the benefits people expect. Not all protein is created equal. Learn what…

Mike Mentzer once said, “Shoulders are the mark of a man.” Whether you agree with the wording or not, the sentiment still lands with the force of a loaded barbell. Broad, rounded shoulders have always represented strength, athleticism, and physical presence. In both males and females alike the shoulders frame the torso, widen the silhouette, and can transform an average physique into something from aesthetic to powerful looking. And when it comes to building them, few exercises rival the seated shoulder press. Why the Seated Shoulder Press Is One of the Best Shoulder Exercises The shoulder itself is a complex…

Weak glutes after 60? A trainer says these five morning moves rebuild lower body strength. Your glutes are among the most essential muscles in your body, yet they’re often one of the weakest after 60. Long stretches of sitting, lack of physical activity, and age-related muscle loss (a.k.a. sarcopenia) can all contribute to weak, underactive glutes. As you age, weak glutes can result in slower walking speed, poor balance, lower back issues, unstable knees, and decreased mobility.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e The good news? Restoring your glute strength can help combat these common pitfalls of aging. Morning exercise in particular can be especially helpful…

There’s a reason we don’t use the word prudence much anymore. It got moralized over centuries of philosophical and religious use. It became a woman’s name that peaked in the Victorian era and quietly aged out. And when speed culture took over — this relentless valorization of being bold, disruptive, decisive — prudence started to sound like its opposite. Like hesitation. Like playing it safe. But here’s what’s interesting: we’re practicing prudence constantly. We just don’t call it that. What Prudence Actually Means Go back to the original definition — mid-14th century — and prudence means intelligence, discretion, foresight, and…

Trainer shares 4 chair moves that restore leg strength and walking confidence after 60. Leg strength determines how well the body moves after 60. Strong legs support balance, protect the knees and hips, improve walking endurance, and make everyday tasks feel safer and easier. Standing up from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and getting in and out of a car all depend heavily on lower-body strength. When the legs weaken, movement slows down, and confidence often drops with it. Many adults turn to gym machines hoping to rebuild lost strength, but machines frequently isolate muscles in rigid positions that…
