Despite exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet and partaking in a few more wellbeing practices than your average person, I often feel sluggish. The internet – as with everything – has its answers: drink more water (check), regular bedtimes (check), work out in moderation (check) and lymphatic drainage massage (oh…). Earlier this year, Google searches for the term were up more than 5,000 per cent, and given it’s a massage technique that was on most A-listers’ pre-Met Gala beauty checklists – everyone from Naomi Campbell and the Kardashians to Jennifer Aniston and Hailey Bieber swear by its wonders – perhaps it was time to try it.

Trying to add a little challenge to your workouts? The best ankle weights can be added to pretty much any exercise—Pilates, barre, strength training, incline walking, or core strengthening, says Denise Chakoian, CPT, owner and founder of CORE Cycle.Fitness.Lagree.

If you're considering adding a pair to your fitness routine, experts say to start small. Also, look for ones with adjustable straps and removable weights so they feel comfortable enough to wear regularly. Below are expert-recommended picks to help bump the intensity of your workouts.

Every summer, that classic debate arises: Are hot dogs or hamburgers the ideal grilling staple? We all have our preferences — and may even change our minds year-to-year — but as much as these friendly arguments might divide us, everyone can agree that baked beans are the perfect pairing for any cookout dish. The sweet-savory flavor complements every element of a standard grilling spread — smoky meats, earthy grilled veggies, punchy fruit salad — and completes the quintessential summer plate. And though hot dogs and hamburgers both predate the Good Housekeeping seal, its 115th anniversary year would not be complete without a backyard barbecue featuring another centenarian brand: Bush's Beans.

The cast of 9-1-1 is having a brat summer, and thanks to a behind-the-scenes TikTok, it looks like we have new details about the fate of a fan-favorite character. The show is gearing up for the season 8 premiere on September 26, and Aisha Hinds got several of her cast mates involved in a popular dance that's currently circulating on TikTok. In a clip posted to the social media platform, viewers watched her, Peter Krause, Oliver Stark, Kenneth Choi, Ryan Guzman and production assistant Allison Carr perform the TikTok dance to Charli XCX's hit single "Apple" as part of the "brat summer" trend.

Owing to our ape ancestry, we were born to hang, and a new branch of research suggests that spending time hanging loose is a real boon for the body.

A dead hang, which can easily be performed at home, is a simple bodyweight exercise that targets the muscles in the upper body. 

Suspended by the arms from a pull-up bar or rings, you keep your arms straight and let your body dangle for as long as possible. 

Here’s how and why it works, according to experts.

I grew up in the 1990s; we didn’t have Photoshop to edit our pictures. We didn’t have social media. I mean, we didn’t even have the internet for half of that time! So as a pre-teen, I was definitely less self-aware than, for instance, my 10-year-old daughter is. The way appearance was talked about when I was growing up was more to do with looking presentable, smart and taking pride in yourself. For my parents’ generation, it was a matter of self-respect; my mum wouldn’t have left the house without makeup on.
