There are a lot of reasons to head to your local barre studio and try out a class. Among a long list of benefits, this modality improves your balance, posture, and core strength. Another perk? It’s also beginner-friendly and suitable for many kinds of exercisers. But, can you add 'builds muscle' to that benefits list? Certainly, barre is a tough workout. Ask anyone about the shakes and quakes they experience doing all those squats, plies, and pulses at the ballerina bar.

I'm a little biased, but I think doing a barre workout is one of the best ways you can spend 45 minutes. This low-impact, beginner-friendly exercise works your entire body and puts your endurance to the test—all while set to a bumpin' playlist. Maybe you're familiar with barre's big sister, pilates? Barre borrows many core exercises from the modality, but adds to it with full-body movements and incorporating light weights.

Het onderwerp gaat niet voor niets viral: ontstekingen zijn de voorloper van de meeste moderne chronische ziekten, zegt Maya Feller, oprichter en hoofddiëtiste bij Maya Feller Nutrition, dus het is geen wonder dat mensen zich er zorgen over maken. Een ontsteking is niet altijd slecht, dus je wilt (en kunt) je lichaam er niet helemaal van ontdoen.

If you've been living the soberish life—or are at least curious about it—there's a new kind of drink out there being marketed to *you* (yes, you). I’m talking about THC-infused beverages, the latest drink competing for shelf space in the 21+ section of the grocery store. These bevs brand themselves as “the future of drinking” and promise a lot of the same pros of having a cocktail (like feeling buzzed and more social) without the next-day cons (read: hangovers).
