When Jessica Alba dropped a video of her full-body morning workout on Instagram yesterday, we couldn’t help thumbs-upping one move in particular: the bird-dog row. In a world where time is often of the essence and hours-long routines don’t fit in many of our schedules (nor are they the best way to get results!), this exercise plays double (or more) duty and offers a whole lot of bang for your workout buck.Alba’s routine—with Nike global trainer Betina Gozo Shimonek—consists of two full-body trisets (three exercises stacked together), sandwiched between a warm-up to wake up her core and lower body, and…

The iPhone 17 is nearly upon us. Next week, Apple will take the virtual stage and announce its next generation of smartphones. There will be some big updates, like the ultra-thin iPhone Air and redesigned camera bump on the Pro, as well as some standard revisions, like the iPhone 17.But while Apple’s new iPhones may be quite different, what they all have in common is they’ll very likely ship with iOS 26, Apple’s latest and great iPhone OS, out of the box. Apple has big plans for iOS 26, including the new Liquid Glass redesign, fresh messaging features, updates to…
Toss the pasta in a clean bowl with the potatoes, beans and pesto. Make sure you do this off the heat as the pesto should never be returned to the stove. Mix well and add a ladleful of reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the sauce. Once the pasta is well coated and glossy, serve straightaway with a little more cheese scattered over.
Like infrared saunas, infrared sauna blankets warm your body using infrared light with a device that’s no bigger than a sleeping bag. As an exercise physiologist and regular exerciser, I understand the importance of post-workout recovery, and the best infrared sauna blankets offer a convenient and effective option that I can use at home for a spa-like experience. Studies have shown that using an infrared sauna blanket may promote relaxation and boost your circulation, metabolism, heart health, and more, although more research is still needed. To find the best infrared sauna blankets, we first consulted several experts, including an exercise…
Turn off the heat completely, making sure there is at least one ladleful of cooking water left in the pan you cooked the pasta in. Gradually add the cheese paste to the pasta, stirring. If the spaghetti becomes too sticky, add a ladle of the reserved pasta water (it should be hot but no longer boiling, as high heat can cause the cheese to split and create lumps) and keep mixing. The cheese, cooking water and the starch will all bind together to make a creamy, emulsified sauce.
Smartphones are so woven into daily life that most of us carry them everywhere — including into the bathroom. While it may seem like a harmless way to pass a few minutes while we poop, new research suggests this habit could have an unintended consequence: a nearly 50 percent increased risk of hemorrhoids.[1]Until now, there’s been no published evidence on the impact of smartphones on our “toileting habits,” says the senior author of the study, Trisha Pasricha, MD, MPH, a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and the author of the forthcoming book You’ve Been Pooping All Wrong.“The…
