What happens to your body when you don't exercise enough

Some people are born with naturally thin frames and the metabolism that allows them to eat whatever they want and never gain weight. It's tempting for these people to forego exercise altogether in favor of hanging on the couch and watching TV with a friend. As a certified personal trainer, I've had many clients who weren't convinced they actually needed to exercise since they were naturally thin. Exercise does a lot more than help us burn calories to lose weight. In fact, not getting enough exercise can have a pretty significant impact on what's going on in our bodies and the future of our health. What really happens when you don't exercise enough?

Toxic relationship habits most people think are healthy

There are times when it feels like modern life is filled with a series of obstacle courses: how to find balance while having a career and a thriving personal life, how to lean in when so many situations seem hostile to the idea, how to raise well-adjusted kiddos in a rapidly changing world — the list goes on.

One item that often rises to the top of people's list of concerns is making sure their relationship is on steady ground. This can sometimes be a bit of a squirrelly issue, since some relationship habits that seem healthy, or are widely accepted in society as normal, are actually quite unhealthy — or even toxic.

The untold truth of What Not To Wear

For more than a decade, Stacy London, Clinton Kelly, and a whole slew of makeover artists helped regular people who were a little lacking in fashion sense (okay, a lot lacking in fashion sense) get some style advice and a full makeover. Based on a British TV show, What Not to Wear, the gold standard and longest lasting of all makeover shows, aired more than 345 episodes and handed out a fortune in free clothes to the stylistically challenged. Here's a look at what was really going on behind the scenes.

The real reason Scarlett divorced Ryan Reynolds

Remember when Ryan Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson for a blink of an eye? We almost forgot too. They began dating in 2007, tied the knot in 2008, and split in December 2010, and they were both so private and secretive about the whole thing that there's very little photographic evidence they were ever together at all. So what went wrong?

Want Great Abs? Here’s What You Should Be Eating

You've heard the line "Abs are made in the kitchen." But what does that mean? “You can’t exercise away the effects of a poor diet, particularly for an area that hangs on to fat and gets bloated,” says Kasey Brixius, RDN, a nutritionist at Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona. Read on for tips on how to keep belly fat at bay and make your abs stand out.

What happens to your body when you drink milk every day?

These days, it's virtually impossible to know who or what to believe when it comes to healthy eating and staying fit. The tsunami of information with which we're deluged upon doing something as simple as googling "is [insert food/drink item here] good for you" means that, more often than not, it's almost easier to remain uninformed than risk trying to decipher the reasonable advice from the marketing propaganda.

What you don't want to know about fast food

You might swear you're never doing drive-thru ever again, yet at some point, you're probably going to end up eating fast food. But you can still make good choices. We don't mean salads and grilled chicken. We're talking about avoiding certain food items that, according to the people who work inside that infamous window, are gross, unsanitary, or just plain strange.

The real differences between a toxic friend and a good friend




Good friends can be like members of your family. When you find friends like that, hold on tight. Unfortunately, not all are. Some are toxic — not good for you and, honestly, probably not great for the other person either. Toxic relationships can take a serious toll on you: your physical health, your emotional health, your feelings of self-worth, and even your other relationships. Knowing what a toxic relationship looks like — and how it's different than a real friendship — can help you determine if it's time to reevaluate a friendship or two, and save you a lot of heartache in the process.

How Gwyneth Paltrow Stays Slim Without Eating Less or Moving Her Body

I admire people who can motivate themselves to exercise every day. I always thought that one day, when I was all grown up, an urge to move my body for an hour three to four times a week would suddenly strike me. But I'm in my mid-20s and still waiting for that day to arrive. What can I say? I love sitting still.
