Fun-Size Candy and Jumping Jacks Remind Us of Being a Kid, So We Put Them Together
We are almost in full-on Halloween mode - discussing costume ideas you can wear to the gym and searching for the appropriate decorations. And the candy - it's starting to appear everywhere in bowls and jars, so don't feel bad about going back to your coworker's desk for another fun-size Snickers, or stealing Peppermint Patties from your kiddo's trick-or-treating stash. Those little candies bring us joy and let us feel like a kid again, so enjoy them!
But, even though they're small, bite-sized pieces of candy, the calories can add up quickly.

These 15 Memes Prove 2 Things: Eating Low-Carb Sucks, and Carbs Are the Best Thing Ever
If going low-carb seems like the worst idea ever because you live for all things carbs, you'll relate to these memes on a very personal level.

Doing Ab Workouts but Not Losing Belly Fat? A Trainer Explains Why - and How to Fix It
If you've been doing ab workouts to no avail with the hopes of losing subcutaneous fat around your middle, you may want to think again. Often, people mistakenly believe that doing planks, crunches, and other ab exercises are what they need in order to flatten their stomachs, and the truth is: ab workouts don't burn belly fat. Exercises like mountain climbers and leg lifts are great if you want to strengthen your core, but if your goal is to reduce the fat around your belly, lower your body fat percentage, and maybe even get a six-pack, ab workouts alone won't cut it.
How to Lose Belly Fat
Instead of focusing on spot reduction, I think the best way to approach losing stomach fat, and fat in general, is by consistently training in the zone that allows you to burn the most fat. Bear with me. I know an answer like this can seem vague and frustrating, but the style of training that works for you to get rid of stomach fat may not work for someone else. You've probably heard that doing high-intensity workouts is the best way to burn fat. If you take anything away from this post, let it be that the best way to lose fat isn't one size fits all.
I agree that high-intensity workouts like sprinting that use multiple muscle groups at once are great in general. But, in order to find out what workout is best for you and your goals, consider getting a specialized test like the FatMax Protocol test. This test measures fat oxidation at different exercise intensities - basically, the exercise intensity where your body optimally burns the most fat. From there, you can work with an exercise physiologist or a certified trainer to design a training program that is best for you.
Unfortunately, this test is more than likely not offered at your primary care physician's office or at local gyms and fitness studios. Depending on where you live, you may be able to find a wellness company that offers the FatMax test and other body composition assessments. You can also contact local hospitals to see if they offer these specialized assessments. The PhysioLab, at Mount Sinai in NYC, administers the test for $450. This price may vary depending on your location and who is administering the test. I haven't had the opportunity to get this test done, but I definitely think it's worth the investment to figure out the best workouts for fat loss, your body, and your goals.
Weightlifting Can Help You Lose Fat
If you're unable to do the FatMax Protocol test because it's not available in your area or feels too pricey, I recommend incorporating weightlifting into your workout routine. I think lifting weights is one of the best ways to decrease your body fat, while maintaining and building lean muscle. If you're new to strength training, you can get started with this beginner's program. If you're more experienced with lifting weights, I suggest implementing more compound exercises - exercises that work larger muscles groups, and as a result, cause you to burn more calories and fat - into your routine. A few of my go-to compound exercises are: deadlifts, pull-ups, lunges, and renegade rows.
You'll Want to Check Your Diet
Now that you have an idea on how you should be training, it's time to discuss your nutrition. You don't have to be extreme and do the low-carb high-fat keto diet, but I do recommend minimizing or even completely cutting out alcohol, sugars, and processed foods. Similar to there being no one perfect workout to lose fat, there's not one perfect diet. It may take a lot of trial and error to figure out what works best for you, and I highly recommend working with a registered dietitian to devise a nutritional program that makes sense for your lifestyle and goals.

These 17 Grab-and-Go Keto Snacks Prove You Can Stick to Your Plan Anywhere
Eating keto looks like a lot of damn work: stocking your kitchen with high-fat, low-carb food, mapping out the restaurants where you can actually eat, and, of course, meal prepping (read: lots and lots of cooking). Fortunately, snack time doesn't have to be as labor-intensive.
If you find yourself hungry in between meals or stranded for hours at your desk after work, there's no excuse to reach for a sugary, high-carb snack from a vending machine. Stock up on these keto-friendly snacks instead that will leave you feeling satisfied without kicking you out of ketosis.
9 Healthy Eating Habits That Will Keep You Satisfied (So You Can Finally Lose Weight!)
Maintaining a healthy calorie deficit is essential if you want to lose weight. But when you start reducing your calories, you may start to feel hungry as you adjust to your new calorie intake. You absolutely want to listen to your body and not ignore physical cues of hunger such as a rumbly tummy and fatigue, but one of the reasons people struggle to lose weight (and give up) is because they don't eat satiating meals and let themselves go hungry instead.
Fitness and lifestyle coach Marci Nevin (@marcinevin on Instagram) posted some suggestions in an Instagram post for how to manage your meals and food throughout the day so you reduce hunger. These nine tips are not at all advocating ignoring your hunger but rather encouraging you to eat in a way that actually makes you feel more satiated so you don't go hungry in between meals.
This Exercise Will Work Your Abs Better Than Crunches and Sit-Ups - Here's How to Do It
There are a ton of exercises you can and should be doing to strengthen your abs, and lately my favorites have been antirotational (no twisting of the spine) core exercises. Antirotational moves like stir the pot, bottoms-up kettlebell carries, and side planks have become my go-to ab exercises because they strengthen your core and stabilize your spine.
Another move that will achieve both of these benefits is the Pallof press. It can be done at the gym or at home with a resistance band and will really fire up your abdominals. If you're currently experiencing lower-back pain, or want to prevent it, begin incorporating antirotational moves likes the Pallof press into your workout.
Here's how to do it:
- Lower the carriage of a cable machine so that it's about chest height, and attach a D-handle to the pulley. Adjust the weight so that it's at 10 pounds. If this is too heavy or too light, feel free to change the weight.
- Standing with the left side of your body closest to the machine, grab the handle with both hands and take two or three steps out so that there's tension on the cable. Hold your hands at your sternum, and make sure that your body is square. If you feel like you're getting pulled to the left, this is an indicator that you should lighten the weight.
- On an exhale, press the cable straight out in front of your body. Be sure not to rotate towards the machine. Hold for two seconds before returning to the starting position. This counts as one rep.
- Complete three sets of 10 reps on each side.
Starting Yet Another Fitness Plan? This Coach Explains How to Stick to It This Time
You get so pumped to start a fitness plan that you start first thing Monday morning with an hour-long hard workout, plan your low-calorie meals out all week, and don't let yourself indulge in comfort foods. But by Friday, you've already caved and eaten your favorite junk food, skipped a workout, and are beating yourself up about it. Sound familiar?
We get it - it's hard to stick to a fitness plan, especially if you set lofty goals for yourself. Luckily, fitness and lifestyle coach Marci Nevin outlined the nine best ways to stick to your fitness plan in an Instagram post.
"Most people like to believe that more motivation is what they need to reach their fitness goal," she wrote in her Instagram caption. "But while it's certainly helpful, motivation is a fleeting emotion you can never rely on entirely. Instead, you must find ways to make fitness a habit and be consistent with whatever type of routine you choose to do."
Although many people think they need to transform their lives overnight, actually sticking to a fitness plan to meet your goals and see long-term results starts with gradual changes and daily habits that you can build on. This can start with finding workouts you enjoy, setting small daily goals for yourself, being flexible, and focusing on the process instead of the outcome.
If you are starting yet another fitness plan for the second, fifth, or 50th time, keep Marci's tips in mind. By making gradual changes and focusing on the process, you are more likely to hit your goals.

I Own 10+ Pairs of Running Shoes, but These Are the Only Ones I Ever Wear
Since my high school days (more than a decade ago now), I've spent hundreds of dollars and run countless miles in sneakers that killed my feet. This past Summer, in hopes this pair would finally be the one, I treated myself to these Nike Epic React Flyknit Running Shoes ($150).
When they were released, I saw them all over my Instagram feed and was instantly attracted to their cool design and all the fun color choices. But the comfy design is what really sold me.

They also feature a cushy sole that keeps my feet comfortable even on long-distance runs or high-intensity workouts. My favorite feature: they're so stylish!

I Found a Hand Sanitizer That Doesn't Give Me a Headache, and I Keep One in Every Purse
I'm a germophobe, and I have no problem admitting that. I've been toting around hand sanitizer since middle school, and on public transportation, forget about it. The downside is that hand sanitizer usually dries out my skin, and I hate the potent smell.
Recently, though, I found a hand sanitizer that smells like coconut and lemongrass, and my life has never been the same. I'm constantly complimented on the scent, prompting me to gift it to a few close friends. I now keep one in every bag, knowing that, for me, nothing else quite compares. As we head into cold and flu season, do yourself a favor and carry around a hand sanitizer that you actually enjoy applying.

I Took My Kids on an RV Trip - Here Are 5 Things You Should Know Before Planning Your Own
Last weekend, my husband finally convinced me to take our kids camping. He's always loved every aspect of spending a weekend in the great outdoors; I prefer visiting nature during the day, then returning home to my own bed, where two closed doors and several dozen feet separate me and our sleeping children. Our compromise? We'd rent an RV (we found ours through Outdoorsy), bringing our own bathroom, refrigerator, microwave, television, and electricity to a campsite a few hours from home. Also coming along? Our two kids, ages 4 and 7, and our 15-week-old puppy. What could go wrong?
More than we expected, as it turns out (we won't talk about the tow truck we had to call when we made a wrong turn out of the campsite and landed our front right wheel in a ditch). Camping, even when you're bringing along the equivalent of a tiny apartment on wheels, requires a lot of work: before, during, and after your trip. I definitely didn't leave the experience a camping enthusiast, but I did learn a lot from our family adventure, including just how many of my mom friends were also interested in planning an RV trip for their own families. Everyone from my fanciest girlfriends to my most outdoorsy ones seemed intrigued. If you are, too, here's what you need to know before you brave the elements on your own RV camping trip.

23 Fashion Trends From the '90s We're More Into Than Boy Bands
The resurgence of '90s trends has made us so thrilled, it seems, that we're not interested in letting the decade go when it comes to getting dressed.

28 Outfit Ideas That'll Make You Believe Midi Dresses Are a Fall Staple

Midis are easy to wear at your 9-to-5, for parties with your friends, and on date night.

Ever Since I Bought This Bomber Jacket, All My Other Outerwear Is Collecting Dust
I have an entire section of my closet devoted to jackets. I am a firm believer that you can never have too many, and they have the power to transform any look. As a POPSUGAR editor, I take inspiration from what everyone in the office is wearing day to day, and ever since the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection came out, it's been a fashion show on the regular. The one piece I kept seeing was the POPSUGAR at Kohl's Athletic Bomber Jacket ($42). People with very different personal styles were all rocking this piece, and I decided it was time to take the plunge. I'm so glad I did.
The jacket comes in a sweatshirt-like material, making it impossibly comfortable.
The jacket comes in a sweatshirt-like material, making it impossibly comfortable. It goes with everything from jeans and a t-shirt to a feminine dress, and it really adds a cool, athletic vibe to any look. I've worn it to work, to brunch, and even out for a drink, and nobody knows how comfortable it is to wear. Plus, this jacket, like all our POPSUGAR at Kohl's pieces, comes in sizes x small to 3X. For reference, I go between a small and medium in jackets, and I took the small in this style. Last weekend, I was out shopping, and a salesperson came up to compliment my jacket, only he thought it was a pricey (think four figures) designer piece. It was my pleasure to inform him that it was from the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection and he could buy one for himself without breaking the bank!

I Tested Orangetheory's New Heart Rate Monitor, and It Makes the Workout 10 Times Better
It's no secret that I'm a fan of Orangetheory Fitness. I used the HIIT-style cardio and strength training workout to get in shape for my wedding, and it got me comfortable with lifting weights again. But in the nearly two years since I quit my membership, I have only taken the class a handful of times, usually when I'm traveling and the city has an OTF studio (and since there are more than 1,000 locations around the world, that's most places I travel to).
So when Orangetheory reached out to see if I wanted to test out its technology, I was pumped. I was still a little trepidatious about the running part after the treadmill tripping incident that shall not be named but knew it would be a good workout. After getting an intro to all the new technology from the chief technology officer and chief brand officer, we got to test it out during a modified 45-minute class. Here's what Orangetheory rolled out:
OTbeat Burn
When I first joined Orangetheory, the only wearable technology that was accessible was the OTbeat Core, which is the band you wear around your chest underneath your sports bra. It tracks your heart rate and uses that data to determine which of the five zones you're in: gray, blue, green, orange, or red. Shortly after, the brand introduced the OTbeat Flex, which can be worn on your forearm and also tracks your heart rate. Both of these devices are used to determine your Splat points (how many minutes you spent in the orange and red zones during class) and can track your calorie burn.
The new OTbeat Burn, however, tracks not only your Splat points and calories, but also your steps and distance. It can be worn on your wrist, forearm, or bicep. And you don't need to just wear it to class; your OTbeat Burn can track your data outside of the studio by connecting to the mobile app.
OTconnect
The other cool thing about the OTbeat Burn is that it syncs up to new screens on the treadmills. Each treadmill will come equipped with an iPad-size screen on the treadmill that picks up your name profile and data as soon as you step on the treadmill. Just click on your name, and all of your data is in front of your face on the screen. As the workout starts, you can track your heart rate, total calories, Splat points, average/maximum incline, maximum miles per hour, and total moving time all on the screen in front of you - no more careening your neck to see the giant screen in the room.
This new system of screen is called the OTconnect and OTF is planning on adding them to the water rowers and eventually the weight room to track your stats throughout the workout.
OTbeat Mobile App
With the new OTbeat mobile app, members can track their stats after each workout and see their full performance summary. You can also join challenges and connect with other members on the app.
How It Impacted the Workout
So all this new technology sounds great, but what does that mean for the actual workout? I'm not being dramatic when I say it was a total game changer. Being able to see my stats in real time in front of my face totally optimized the treadmill portion of the workout. It also kept me focused so I didn't have to keep looking away to find my name on the giant screen in class (and with how apt I am to trip on treadmills, this made me feel safer).
I also loved that it had more stats than just my calories and Splat points. I can see in classes where you alternate between the treadmill and the rower having a cumulative number of how many miles you move will be helpful. Since I hadn't been to OTF in a minute, I burned over 500 calories, earned 23 Splat points, and moved 4,000 steps - a great workout!
I can only wait until this technology is available on the rowers as well and throughout all locations. Right now, I'll have to keep going to OTF in Astor Place in New York City to keep playing around with the technology!
