Cycling is one of the best forms of aerobic exercise—but if you live in a busy area or frequently face bad weather, getting outside on a bike isn’t always an option. Luckily, indoor cycling can provide you with many of the same benefits you would experience in the great outdoors. “Using an exercise bike is great because it’s a low-impact option for both cardio and strength training,” says Max Karp, certified personal trainer and trainer at Liteboxer in New York City. He explains that exercise bikes promote longevity because they’re safer on your joints and can improve your cardiovascular health.…
The Supreme Court on Thursday afternoon handed the Trump administration another victory on the justices’ interim docket. In a brief, unsigned opinion, the court granted the government’s request to temporarily put on hold rulings by a federal judge in Massachusetts that would have required the State Department to issue passports to transgender and nonbinary Americans that reflect the sex designation of their choosing. “Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth,” the majority said, “no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment.” …
Making for a pre-holiday market of sorts, there’s also unique glassware by Laguna B, Iacobella handbags, elaborate creations by NV Milano, and Vincent Vintage antiques. Given Missoni’s passion for community and pairing vintage accessories with her contemporary designs, bringing the made in Italy offering to a Manhattan audience made perfect sense.“Compared to my past work, this is really me,” Missoni told Vogue—referring to her mission to “make comfort look chic.” Missoni spoke of the significance of the wilted daisy emblem found on many of her designs, which refers to the idea that “we cannot always be blooming.”“Maccapani is for women…
Whether you don’t live near a cycling studio or you want all the benefits of low-impact cardio right from your living room, indoor cycling is one of the most popular ways to work out at home — and for good reason. Not only are at-home bikes relatively compact, but cycling strengthens your lower body, lowers your risk of heart disease, and improves your posture, all without the high impact of other cardio options (such as running). If you’re in the market to buy an indoor cycling bike, you might be surprised at just how much variety there is to choose…
I hate long nail appointments. I get restless when sitting for extended periods with nothing to do. (I can’t even scroll on my phone!) That’s why I have typically avoided nail art unless it was for a special occasion—that is, until I discovered velvet nails. Velvet nails mimic the fuzzy texture of your favorite holiday dress, but with an added touch of sparkle.Velvet nails always come back during the holiday season, but this year, the look is making its rounds early. It’s easy to see why: “The effect is magical,” says Hannah Lee, a nail artist in Atlanta. “The way…
Loaded carries are one of the simplest ways to get strong, but that doesn’t make it easy. Pick up something heavy, walk, and repeat. Carries train your entire body to brace, stabilize, and move under load. Carrying builds not just strength, but serious toughness. You’ll forge a stronger core, bulletproof your shoulders, and toughen your traps while testing your lungs. Whether you’re hauling heavy dumbbells, racking kettlebells, or lugging a sandbag, carries build resilience that transfers into how you move and perform. Here, I will feature 10 of the best loaded carry variations. From the Trap Bar Carry and Front-Racked…
Shay Mitchell is officially entering the beauty industry—but not in the way you’d expect. While you may have envisioned her launching a hair care or makeup brand (for adults), Mitchell’s latest venture is specifically for kids. Meet Rini: an affordable skincare and play brand harnessing Korean technology and pediatrician-approved formulations. Mitchell is no stranger to creating disruptive brands—she’s the visionary behind the beloved luggage brand Béis and the Drake-approved tequila seltzer brand Onda, after all. However, it’s clear that Rini is the idea closest to her heart. A mother of two, Mitchell teamed up with Esther Song, a fellow mom…

I’ve always been good at quitting obligations (see: piano lessons, ballet classes, infinite sports teams, and in one memorable instance, a babysitting job that would have required me to fly from New York to Los Angeles in sole charge of an eight-month-old), but when it comes to vices, I have a hard time letting go. I love to ride the absolute wheels off the things I love—even when they stop loving me back—and, to that end, it took me about three years of near-constant cannabis use to realize that my relationship with weed was taking more from me than it…
When consistently training and lifting, the true enemy to our evolution is not a lack of knowledge, but rather, a lack of progress. In other words, we all at some point in our workout journey fall victim to the dreaded “plateau phase.” We’ve all been there. Lifting and working consistently, doing all of the right exercises in the same routine that we have always used, but suddenly, it no longer feels challenging, our muscles know exactly what to expect, and the PR sets become few and far between. Great news, though: Your knowledge and experience is still valid, and although…
