If you think about how you move in everyday life, lots of it is on one leg—whether you realize it or not. Jogging to make your bus, stepping into your car, or putting on your pants all require single-leg strength and stability. But when you’re at the gym, so many exercises (think: sumo squats, Romanian […]
If spot reduction were possible, many people would immediately target the belly — and there are some ways to tighten up there.

When Femita Ayanbeku lined up for the 100 meters at the 2024 US Paralympic Team Trials for Track & Field in July, she had a number in mind: 13.01 seconds. That mark, she knew, would assure her a spot on the Paralympic team headed to Paris. She’d run faster in the past. In fact, three […]
