Hang around the weight rack long enough and you’ll hear plenty of buzzwords—HIIT, muscle pump, functional training, bro split. But by far one of the most misunderstood ones is metabolic conditioning. Also known as metcon—thanks in no small part to CrossFit, which popularized and practically coined the abbreviated term—it has become almost synonymous with high intensity, cardio-focused training. But the truth is that metabolic conditioning has a much broader definition. The term refers to any form of exercise that increases the efficiency of  any  energy system, of which there are three: phosphagen (most active during short, high intensity efforts lasting up to 10 seconds); glycolytic (emphasized during high intensity efforts la...

12 Best Inner Thigh Exercises for Incredibly Toned and Strong Legs https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe9mZUtA7INp1D5wvhB91ug As you age, you might find it harder to balance and have stability in your joints, making you more prone to injury. The good news is that you can help prevent and reduce these muscle imbalances by strengthening your legs—namely your inner thighs. Nicole Blades, a NASM-certified personal trainer based in Connecticut, says: "Your adductors—the muscles in your inner thighs—are responsible for inner rotation of the leg. Together with the abductors—the external rotators of the glutes—they support the pelvis, helping you to stabilize when you walk, run, or cycle." Before you dive into the inner thigh exercises below, note that Blades says targeting one specific muscle group in the body isn't possible.

Women’s World Cup: U.S. survives tough challenge from Spain The U.S. didn’t so much win its Women’s World Cup game with Spain on Monday as it did escape it. The Americans entered the elimination rounds of the tournament unchallenged, unscored upon and unbeaten. In 90 intense minutes, Spain ticked off the first two of those boxes and almost got the third before the U.S. prevailed 2-1 on the second of two Megan Rapinoe penalty kicks to advance to a long-anticipated quarterfinal showdown with France on Friday in Paris. If the U.S. was happy to have survived, though, it was also thankful for the challenge Spain provided. Because after a group stage in which the Americans set a World Cup record by scoring 18 goals and tied one by not giving up a goal, even the players admitted everything had seemed too easy. Spain changed that in a hurry. The U.S. outshot the Spaniards 12-5, outpossessed them, outpassed them and outdefended them. Yet, the game turned, as so...
