A model was left red-faced after almost nearly climaxing in her Pilates class while engaging her core. Fitness model Sarah Lloyd is no stranger to intense training, having competed in ultramarathons and being an avid gymgoer. The 25-year-old, who hits the gym every day without fail, normally loves working out — but during a recent group session, she “panicked” after a specific ab exercise saw her oxytocin levels rise as she fought back an orgasm. Sarah Lloyd says she learned she can’t do a specific ab exercise in public after nearly having a “coregasm.” Jam Press/@sarahxlloyd Lloyd was so “freaked…

It might be time to start listening to your heart. In recent years, millions of Americans have incorporated wearable health trackers like smartwatches and Oura rings into their lives, with studies showing that at least 1 in 3 US adults are actively using them. While metrics such as blood pressure, sleep duration and daily step counts are familiar, the rise of wearable technology has also cast a spotlight on a lesser-known data point: heart rate variability, or HRV. Heart rate variability (HRV) measures the shift in timing between your heartbeats. Krakenimages.com – stock.adobe.com Doctors typically don’t assess it during routine…

Christian Bueno built his career by pushing his body past its limits — and for a while, it paid off. A lifelong fitness fanatic and personal trainer, the 33-year-old once looked like “Wolverine,” winning bodybuilding competitions and landing brand deals thanks to his chiseled physique. But after nearly a decade of heavy anabolic steroid use, “I wasn’t even able to take my shirt off because I literally felt like a dog who just had six puppies,” Bueno told The Post. Christian Bueno developed gynecomastia after years spent taking anabolic steroids. Christian Bueno The culprit: gynecomastia, or the overdevelopment of male…

It’s a growing problem that’s long been overlooked. For decades, body image issues have been pegged as primarily a female struggle, with one study finding that 53% of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies” by age 13. Now, experts say the epidemic is increasingly reaching boys and young men — and while their female peers usually want to shrink, these guys often want to get bigger, stronger and more jacked, sometimes to the extreme. While anyone can develop bigorexia, it typically affects men between the ages of 15 and 32. Miljan ýivkoviÃâ¡ – stock.adobe.com In boys, a negative body…

All exercise is good exercise — but certain kinds may help you live longer than others. The widely accepted belief that movement is medicine is true for so many reasons, from improving your mental health to decreasing your risk of an early death. But new research shows that some types of exercise may be better at lowering your risk of dying prematurely, especially if you embrace one key strategy to maximize health benefits.

Talk about getting down and dirty. The start of the new year means more people are heading to the gym and picking up weights — and increasing their risk of picking up and spreading germs. The results aren’t pretty. New research found pesky little bacteria lurking under fingernails long after the end of a workout. Working out can lead to excessive bacteria growth that’s dirtier than a toilet seat, but better hygiene can prevent this. Phimwilai – stock.adobe.com Fingernail swabs from four individuals who had completed an hour-long workout showed bacteria levels up to 10 times dirtier than the average…

Back in 2001, actor Ethan Suplee was standing on a freight scale typically used to weigh trucks. It was an eye-opening moment before he checked into a treatment center for drug and alcohol addiction at 24 years old, where his weight was required for intake. The “My Name is Earl” star had to specially order the scale, which is how he discovered he had shot up to 536 pounds — a fact he had avoided for a long time. “I spent years going to the doctors and telling them their scale couldn’t weigh me,” Suplee, now 49, told The Post.…

You’re not going to want to sit down for this. A new study suggests that a single habit is better for the brain than previously thought — and can treat symptoms of depression as effectively as medication and talk therapy. The CDC estimates that the prevalence of depression in US adolescents and adults increased 60% in the past decade. zinkevych – stock.adobe.com This latest round of research reinforces a key 2013 study that found physical exercise can treat depression at least as well as standard treatments, including antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy. “This latest review [almost] doubles the evidence base…
