What Exactly Is The 3x3 By 12 Rule—And Is It Healthy? Experts Weigh In
If you’ve been hankering to implement some new healthy habits (getting more steps in...eating more protein...), but have felt overwhelmed by approaches that do the most, the viral 3x3 by 12 p.m. rule could be for you.
The idea, created by Abbie Overturf (@fit.abbie on TikTok), a fitness coach and content creator, is that the healthy habits you prioritize in the morning generate momentum for the rest of your day. The premise is refreshingly simple: Walk 3,000 steps, eat 30 grams of protein, an...
We Tested 9 of the Best Rowing Machines for a Killer Full-Body Workout
From smooth, scenic rides to rowers that correct your form, these are the ergs we love.
As a full-time fitness writer juggling graduate school, my own training goals, and a busy social life, I stan a workout machine that maximizes efficiency — which is why I’ve come to rely on indoor rowing machines. Also known as ergometers (or “ergs”), these low-impact machines are gentle on joints while engaging nearly every muscle in the body. “Your upper body, core, and lower body (glutes and quads) are ...
I Found the Best Hoka Shoes for Every Activity After Testing Nearly Every Model
Whether you’re logging miles, hitting the gym, or recovering, these are the Hokas that actually live up to the hype.
As a fitness writer with nearly a decade of experience covering running shoes and athleisure gear, I’ve tested more sneakers than I can count. Add in my own fitness resume — marathons, mud runs, CrossFit competitions, and daily dog walks — and it’s safe to say I’m a jack-of-all-fitness-trades. Through it all, whether I’m logging trail miles, tackling a treadmill tempo run, or j...
I Tried The David Protein Bar—Here’s Why You Should, Too
The lovechild of Peter Rahal and Zach Ranen, the founders of RXBAR® and keto cookie company RAIZE, respectively, David protein bars have skyrocketed to the protein bar hall of fame since launching in August 2024.
In that short time, the bars—named after the Michelangelo statue—have drawn attention for their nutrient density and become beloved by biohackers, bodybuilders, and gym-goers alike. In fact, the bar has already become the number-two top-selling bar at The Vitamin Shoppe.
Their glitzy...

Suction vibes showed up on the scene in the early aughts, and the world of sex toys has never been the same since. These days, almost every sex toy manufacturer has their own version, giving interested parties a plethora of options to choose from.
Unlike vibrators, which stimulate by making direct contact with your body and buzzing against your bits, suction toys use pulses of air and gentle air pressure changes to stimulate nerve-dense areas without actually touching them direct...

Bullet vibrators have been proving that good (nay, great) things can come in bite-sized packages. Shaped like a baby carrot, these compact toys have been delivering targeted buzz to external body parts for decades.
Portable, petite, and discreet, bullets are great for first-time sex toy users and those who enjoy a gentler stimulation—but they aren’t for everyone. Here’s what you need to know before adding one to your collection.
Why bullet vibrators?

Pinpoint sex toys prove that with pleasure products, more or bigger isn’t always better. Unlike wand and palm vibrations, which transmit sensation to a wide surface area, these toys excel at targeting one, tiny, nerve-dense spot. For those who enjoy ultra-exact external stimulation, they’re a great purchase, but they aren’t for everyone—here’s what to know.
Why pinpoint sex toys?
What does it do? Pinpoint toys direct sensation to one particular area. This category of toys is often referred to...

Wand vibrators have been bringing sensation to people of all ages since the first variation hit the market in 1968. The patent for wand vibrators was filed that year by Hitachi, Ltd, a company that still makes them today (under the name Magic Wand).
Easily recognized for their bulbous head and long handle, wand vibrators have also existed under a number of names throughout their long tenure of stimulating external body parts. But whether you call them a “personal device,” “massager,” or “magi...
'I Reversed My Type 2 Diabetes Risk When I Started Strength Training. Here’s My Simple Routine.'
For the longest time, my family didn’t have a great relationship with health or exercise. We didn’t eat much nutrient-dense food or pay attention to fitness, and I followed suit. I ate very little fresh fruits and vegetables, and instead opted for easy-to-grab but processed snacks like pretzels and chips. And although I played soccer when I was a little kid, I wasn’t exercising at all by the time I hit my teens.
Everything changed during those teenage years, as my family’s lifestyle began to ...
RFK Jr. Claims There Are Studies Linking Circumcision To Autism. Here's What the Science Really Says.
HEALTH SECRETARY ROBERT F. Kennedy Jr.’s previous go-to scapegoat for autism was vaccines. Now, it’s Tylenol and circumcision. Yes, really.
In a Cabinet meeting on October 9th, Kennedy—who is neither a medical doctor nor an autism researcher—reignited a controversial, long-debunked claim that boys who undergo circumcision are “twice as likely” to be later diagnosed with autism as those with intact penises. He went on to say it’s “likely because they were given Tylenol” after the procedure.

How To Support Healthy Growth Hormone Production
Historically, growth hormone was best known for supporting childhood growth and development, as its primary job is to stimulate the growth plates in bones. But lately, thanks to fitness and longevity enthusiasts, growth hormone—also known as human growth hormone (HGH)—is just as often discussed for its impact on muscle repair and recovery.
As it turns out, “growth hormone continues to work its magic throughout adulthood, keeping your body functioning optimally,” explains functional medicine p...
