When I first heard about the 12-3-30 walking workout, I was intrigued! It’s an incline workout you can on a treadmill. Although I prefer walking in the quiet, hilly woods near my house with my dogs, since it’s a great workout for my muscles and heart, and essential for my mental health. But sometimes the

On a crisp autumn afternoon, my legs whisked me along the trail. It was blissful running perfection… until it wasn’t. I felt a telltale rumble in my stomach, but the bathrooms were locked for the season. I slowed to a walk, too late.

Recently, it’s been great to see active-wear brands starting to release more plus-size sports bras. But the options haven’t always been a bra buffet. “One of my biggest frustrations with sports bras, especially for plus-size bodies, is that there’s a lot of structure to them,” says yoga teacher, author, influencer and body positivity advocate Jessamyn
