Forget sit-ups — I did suitcase carries for a week, and my core was on fire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll let you in on a secret — I really hate sit-ups and crunches. I don’t really feel them in my core; they hurt my lower back, and according to just about every personal trainer out there, they’re not even the best way to target your abdominal muscles. With that in mind, as I gear up for my seventh marathon in a few weeks, I’ve been looking for better ways to build functional core strength. Our resident personal trainer, Sam Hopes, told me to try the suitcase carry, so I grabbed a set of the be
A physical therapist says these are the 4 best exercises for maintaining walking speed as you age (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Until our stride starts to feel slower, shorter, or less steady, it’s easy to take walking for granted. While some changes in walking speed are a normal part of aging, maintaining strength, balance and mobility can help us keep moving confidently and comfortably as the years go by. Walking speed is also closely tied to how well we can keep up with our everyday activities. Whether it’s crossing the road, climbing stairs, or catching up with friends on a walk, having a strong, stable stride can ma
I walked 5,000 steps with the Apple Watch Series 12 and the Garmin Forerunner 570 — here’s which watch came out on top (opens the original)

Hang around the Tom’s Guide fitness desk long enough, and we’ll strap a tracker to your wrist and ask you to start counting your steps. Sure, most gadgets on the market these days do more than track steps, but we think if a watch does the basics right, it’s probably doing the bigger things well too. Next on our list of watches to test is the new Apple Watch Series 12 (starting at $399) and the Garmin Forerunner 570 ($549). Both devices are designed to be worn 24/7 and track your sleep, readiness
I just tried Speedo’s new smart goggles — and I think I just unlocked the secret to helping you swim smarter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For runners and cyclists, the tech to track every element of your run or ride is endless, but until now, swimmers have been largely left behind. Sure, we’ve seen brands like FORM release smart goggles that display your data in front of your eyes as you swim, but most swimmers still rely on their smartwatches. The simplicity of swimming has always been something that draws me to the sport — it’s just me and a pair of goggles. My time in the water is truly one of the only hours of my life free fro
I asked a Pilates instructor for the best exercise to improve mobility and build core strength after 40 — and her answer wasn’t what I was expecting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve practiced Pilates for the past decade — I credit it with rebuilding my core following the birth of my son two years ago and getting me to the starting line of (nearly) seven marathons injury-free. But like most people, I spend far too much time sitting behind a desk, and my mobility suffers for it. But how can Pilates help build mobility? To find out more, I spoke with Pilates instructor Olha Levchuk and asked her for the best exercise for mobility, plus what we should be focusing on in our
