There’s no getting around it: Using weights (or resistance of some kind) is key to getting stronger arms. “In order to build muscle, you need to progressively overload those muscles,” says Meredith Witte, CSCS, CFSC, a New York City-based personal trainer and founder of The Playground. But what if you’re traveling? Recovering from an injury? Don’t have access to heavy weights or equipment? That’s where arm exercises without weights come in, which Witte says have their own set of benefits.

There’s a surprising amount of options when it comes to buying salt. There’s table salt, Kosher salt, sea salt, and Himalayan salt—just to name a few. But while all these salts contain sodium, only one—table salt—has been fortified with iodine, an essential nutrient. The practice of iodizing salt began in the 1920s as a way to address widespread iodine deficiencies in Switzerland. Just a few years later, iodized salt was introduced in America.
Finally: Great Running Gear with Bounce-Free Pockets

After I ran my first marathon a few years ago, I was scared to look through the official race photos. I’d had a hard race and knew there’d be some shots where I’d be sweaty and visibly suffering. What I wasn’t expecting to be embarrassed by? All the photos where you could see my shorts pockets bulging from the gels I’d overstuffed them with. It wasn’t exactly a cool look—and even worse, all those gels bounced around and chafed my legs (even through the fabric of my shorts!).

Many of us, if we’re being honest, don’t love working out. Especially if it means endless sit-ups, squats, treadmills, or scary-looking weight machines. And if you don’t like what you’re doing, you’re probably not going to do it very often. But what if exercise didn’t have to feel like that?

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission. Your sneakers are arguably the most important part of your running kit (they’ll be with you for miles and miles, after all). Finding the right pair, though, can be easier said than done—there’s an overwhelming number of options, and the lingo isn’t very beginner-friendly (like what’s a “stability shoe,” anyway, and what the heck is a heel-to-toe drop?).
Your March 2025 Horoscope Is a Monumental Wake-Up Call

1 month ago | wellandgood.com | Stefanie Weiss |Maeve McCormick |Maggie Aime |Lauren Wingenroth

Get ready for a monumental wake-up call because the astrology of March is feral, fierce, and a little bit unhinged. Not only is it eclipse season, but with Venus and Mercury both stationing retrograde and Neptune changing signs for the first time in 14 years, the siren call of March is loud and unignorable: it’s the most pivotal period of 2025. Most of the planetary action takes place in Aries and Pisces, the first and last signs of the zodiac.
I'm a Nurse and I Hate Exercising—So Here's What I Do Instead

1 month ago | wellandgood.com | Maggie Aime |Maeve McCormick |Lauren Wingenroth |Marygrace Taylor

I don’t have endorphins. At least, that's my working theory because I've never once experienced that legendary post-exercise “high” most people talk about. Endorphins are those feel-good chemicals the body releases during stress or pain to make you feel better. The most I get is sweat in my eyes and the overwhelming desire to never exercise again.
