Tonal Is an All-in-One Home Gym With Up to 200 Pounds of Resistance, and I Got to Try It Out

With the rise in home workouts, more and more people are quitting their gym memberships and focusing on getting in a good sweat sesh in the comfort of their own space. But while some have invested in home gym equipment such as dumbbells, resistance bands, or even a Peloton bike, it's hard to replicate the effectiveness of all the strength equipment you can find in a gym.

I Got 2 Custom Pillows Made, and They've Given Me the Best Sleep of My Life (but You Only Need 1!)

I have usually been a pretty good sleeper. I tend to fall asleep easily, sleep through the night, and wake up refreshed. That is, until the pandemic turned our lives upside down, which resulted in me dealing with bouts of extreme anxiety. To make matters worse, my old pillows were more than five years old — this is not ideal since the Sleep Foundation recommends replacing your pillows every one to two years.

I Can't Get Enough of This Vegan, Gluten-Free Cookie Dough That Tastes Like the Real Deal

The best part about baking cookies is eating the cookie dough straight from the bowl. But as we've all heard, it's not ideal to eat raw eggs and raw flour, no matter how delicious it is mixed with sugar, butter, vanilla, and chocolate chips. To fill that void and have a cookie dough alternative that's safe to eat, Deux created its own line of vegan, plant-based, and gluten-free cookie dough.

I am definitely a coffee gal. When I go to bed at night, I look forward to the cold brew I'm going to have in the morning. And by late afternoon, I usually reach for a second cup of Joe for another boost of caffeine to get me through the rest of the day and prepare me for my evening workout. However, coffee can be a little too acidic for me, and I sometimes get a stomachache from consuming so much of it. And I can't have a pre-workout drink too late in the day or I'll be up for hours.

Struggle to Take Off Your Sweaty Sports Bra After a Workout? You Need to Try This Bra With a Clasp

We all know the struggle: you just finished a sweaty, hard-as-hell workout and ready to strip off your workout clothes and jump in the shower. However, getting that soaked, tight sports bra over your head can be a workout in and of itself. I like most compression sports bras because they make me feel held in and supported during even the toughest of workouts...

I Can't Live Without This "HeatGear" I Wear For My Outdoor Workouts in the Fall

Fall is my favorite season, and even with the temperatures dropping, I still love doing my outdoor workouts. For the last year, I've been taking my workouts outside for a HIIT-style bootcamp class in Carl Schurz Park in New York City. Although I still get warm and sweaty during my fall workouts, I still need some athletic wear that will keep me cozy, especially as the mornings get cooler and cooler in the city.
