These Running Leggings Will Actually Keep You Injury-Free

Nothing gets your heart pumping and those feel-good endorphins surging like a run along your fave scenic route. But after sustaining a running-related injury, a casual jog in the park is anything but a walk in the park. Fortunately, there’s Lumo Run, a line of smart shorts that coach you as you run to help improve your form and avoid injuries.

Palo Alto, California-based Lumo BodyTech is on a mission to promote healthy, active habits and help individuals live their best lives. They develop smart sensors and software that provide actionable feedback and increase health awareness in small, subtle ways that don’t intrude on users’ everyday routines. While their latest innovation may look like traditional running shorts to the casual eye, Lumo Run shorts pack powerhouse fitness technology that may redefine the wearable industry.

Wearing these shorts is like having a personal trainer running alongside you, but one that costs significantly less (and doesn’t yell at you!). When you wear Lumo Run shorts, you’ll receive real-time, audible coaching on your running form through your headphones. If your stride is gangling, you’ll likely hear about it and can immediately change it before you injure yourself. In addition, Lumo Run measures your stride length, cadence, bounce, ground contact time, braking and pelvic rotation. When you’re finished with your run, take a breather and view post-run insights through the convenient companion app.

You won’t find wires, goggles or wristbands in the Lumo Run shorts. The magic behind the metrics is all in the waistband of the shorts, which contain a state-of-the-art, lab-grade sensor that’s waterproof, machine-washable and can last for at least one month after a single charge. Whether you sprint in the ultra-light women’s capris or jog in the men’s shorts, Lumo Run can help you go the distance with your fitness goals.

If you’re ready to hit the trail, head over to the Lumo BodyTech website to pre-order Lumo Run shorts in a variety of styles and prices. Pre-orders are expected to begin shipping in March of 2016.

The 5 Best Bike Shorts On Amazon, According To Actual Shoppers

Good bike shorts can be hard to find, and I truly know the struggle. I like to have a reliable lineup of bike shorts for yoga classes and climbing sessions, but I also want to be able to wear the same shorts out and about for running errands and casually hanging out with friends.

For me, the perfect pair of bike shorts must be:

  • Compressive, but not uncomfortable
  • Fitted, but not to the point of having to make consistent awkward adjustments
  • An appropriate length, but still a lil’ cheeky (want to give the butt a good lift!)

Luckily, there are a ton of bike short styles on Amazon that shoppers are loving. The reviews on one particular pair of these bike shorts actually convinced me to give ‘em a try!

Based on thousands of reviews from real shoppers, these are the top 5 biker shorts you can snag on Amazon and begin sporting as soon as they arrive. Let’s dive in!

Amazon

CRZ Yoga Butterluxe Biker Shorts

4.7/5 stars

These high-waisted biker shorts come in an extremely soft fabric that moves with you with ease. The best part about this pair is they have a small gusset patch along the crotch to prevent a weird fit (IYKYK). They're offered in several different lengths (2.5, 4, 6, and 8 inches), which makes finding the most practical pair for your lifestyle fairly easy.

The CRZ Yoga Butterluxe Biker Shorts are currently available in sizes XXS-XL for $24.

Promising reviews:

"Super soft, the perfect amount of thickness were it’s breathable but NOT see through at all. I got a small, which is my usual size for leggings from this brand, and they’re great. The only thing I would mention is that if you’re a thicker gal and have a butt, I find myself having to pull them up from time to time."

"Love these shorts. The shorts didn’t roll up, even through a running workout and CrossFit. The shorts are a soft material, not slick, but you don’t notice it during a workout. Only downside would be no pockets, but I knew that when I ordered them. Great value for money, feels like a high quality shirt. Will see how they hold up, have worn them 4 times so far. The color looks just like the picture."

Amazon

Colorfulkoala High Waisted Biker Shorts

4.6/5 stars

These next biker shorts feature none other than side pockets! They're always super helpful for stowing away your phone or other small necessities. These 75% polyester and 25% spandex shorts have a 6-inch inseam, so they provide a good amount of coverage. The brushed, buttery soft fabric stretches with you, plus the waistband sits at the natural waist, so you can move around totally unrestricted.

The Colorfulkoala High Waisted Biker Shorts currently come in tons of colors and sizes XS-XL for $20 (was $25).

Promising reviews:

"I have purchased three pairs in different colors. I use them for both running and circuit training. I do not have to worry about them riding up. They are super soft, stretchy, and durable."

"These shorts are so comfortable! Material is thin enough that they breathe, love the high waist to make me feel snatched. Some biker shorts have thick material that isn’t flexible and these aren’t it! Will def be buying more!"

"These shorts are so cute and comfy! Black is the best because you can dress them up or wear them for working out. I highly recommend!"

Amazon

CRZ Yoga Naked Feeling Biker Shorts

4.5/5 stars

These shorts from CRZ Yoga are available in 3-inch 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch lengths and plenty of colorways, so landing on your ideal pair won't be that big of a challenge. They're made from a sweat-wicking fabric with decent compression, which is also uniquely fur-resistant! The seamless waistband flaunts a hidden pocket so you can store your phone, keys, cards, or whatever else you tend to carry easily.

The CRZ Yoga Naked Feeling Biker Shorts come in sizes XXS-XL for $18.

Promising reviews:

"Love these shorts so much! Buying workout shorts can be scary - will they be too tight? Too short? Not supportive enough? These are perfect. True to size, stretchy, super breathable, comfortable fabric, stayed up the whole time, and flattering. GET THEM. 😉"

"These are my absolute favorite workout shorts. I love the 6 inch length so I bought 5 different colors and only wear this brand to the gym. They are SO soft and buttery smooth and really good quality. I throw them in the wash with everything else (but air dry them bc they dry so fast and I don't want them to shrink). They are really high waisted which I personally like and I find them really flattering. They do have a bit of tummy control but nothing too drastic to the point that they are uncomfortable. I keep coming back to buy more colors because they are all so pretty. Just buy these you won't regret it."

Amazon

Baleaf Biker Shorts

4.4/5 stars

You can shop these Baleaf shorts in 3-inch, 5-inch, and 8-inch inseam lengths based on the amount of coverage you like. The 87% polyester, 13% spandex material is said to be moisture-wicking, breathable, and squat-proof, also offering plenty of stretch. The wide elastic waistband provides some tummy control, which is nice for any occasion.

There are endless colors to shop in the Baleaf Biker Shorts. They currently come in sizes XS-3X for $20 (was $27).

Promising reviews:

"These are amazing. I love the longer length, they are so soft, love the pockets, Baleaf has continued to win my confidence. Purchased several other products from them and always feel like I get a great value for my money."

"I really like these. They fit as expected. Nice and stretchy. Soft. Not see through. I wanted some compression but not so much that it digs into my skin. These are perfect."

"These shorts are fantastic! I’ve worn them a plenty of times since I purchased them in 2021. They withstood multiple half marathon training cycles and my first marathon. They are very comfortable, don’t ride up, or slide down when running. They are true to size. The pockets are another plus plus to these great shorts!"

Amazon

Always Workout Yoga Shorts

4.4/5 stars

The waistband on these short shorts measures around 3 inches, holding in your tummy fairly firmly. This way, they're easy to wear for workouts, but also under skirts and dresses for added coverage! The material they're made of is 92% polyester and 8% spandex, which boasts a four-way stretch and good breathability.

You can shop the Always Workout Yoga Shorts in lots of colors and sizes XXXS-3XL for $12 (was $13) right now.

Promising reviews:

"I really like the shorts. They are cute and flattering. They looked small to fit (I did get a size small), but they fit really nice. They are short, but that's all good. So far, I am loving wearing them. I've done house work and worked out in them. I approve/recommend."

"These are sooo comfy and stretchy. I got them to wear under a short dress so you wouldn’t see all my goodies when I bend over, but also used them for a workout. They fit as expected and the length is definitely short, but perfect for under clothes."

How To Stream 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' For Free This Holiday Season

Despite the fact my family (and the internet at large) loves classics like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas, my favorite Charlie Brown holiday special has always been A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. The 30-minute episode just highlights so much that I love about this time of year: family, CHOSEN family, and that feeling when we finally switch from spooky season to cozy season. Not to mention the fact the montage of Snoopy cooking Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite scene in any cartoon, like, ever. Here's everything you need to know about streaming A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for 2024.

  • A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (and A Charlie Brown Christmas) is available to stream for the 2024 holiday season!
  • The episode features Charlie Brown and friends sitting down for a very memorable Thanksgiving dinner.
  • A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving premiered in 1973 on CBS, and continues to be a fan favorite.

How To Stream 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'

This year, the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special is available to watch on Apple TV+, along with It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas. So if you're wondering, 'Is Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on Disney Plus?' unfortunately, no, it's not.

But the $9.99 price tag for an Apple TV+ subscription gives you access to so many other amazing titles (plus there's even a 7-day free trial meaning you can watch this special for free!). Check out Everything Coming To Apple TV+ In 2024 for a look into the streamer's newest projects!

What happened in Charlie Brown Thanksgiving?

Charlie Brown and Sally are preparing to spend Thanksgiving at their grandma's house. But when Charlie gets a call from Peppermint Patty, he learns that she's invited herself, Marcie, and Franklin over for dinner! Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Charlie decides to provide a low-key meal for his friends — which brings us to my favorite cooking montage of Snoopy making popcorn, jelly beans, and toast, and setting up a ping pong table like a dinner table.

Peppermint Patty is not happy with the dinner options, and is honestly pretty rude to Charlie, but Marcie reminds her the true spirit of the Thanksgiving season is about being together. It makes me a little weepy just writing this TBH!

I won't spoil the ending of the special just in case you somehow haven't seen it (?!?!) but I will say one of the final scenes features a station wagon with plenty of seating in the back, and as someone who grew up with mini vans and sedans, I still dream about riding in a car like this.

When did Charlie Brown Thanksgiving air?

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving first aired on CBS in 1973, then switched to airing on ABC in 2001. However in 2024, the special (as well as the other two) are available to stream on Apple TV+ after Apple acquired the rights in 2018.

The Top 4 Hoka Shoes For Long Walks And Hard Workouts

Wether you like to trail run, hit the gym, or go for quick neighborhood walks, doing it all in a shoe that feels good, looks good, and does a good job at supporting your step is crucial. You want to ensure your shoes prioritize comfort and prevent injury, which is exactly what Hoka masters!

These 4 top-selling Hoka styles differ from each other in the slightest ways. I'm here to outline the intricacies and details so you can find your ultimate pair, no matter what kind of movement you're into! Scroll on for the best Hoka shoes for your lifestyle, based on your go-to activity.

The Chronic Marathoner: Clifton 9

If running is your life – not just a "for fun" hobby – the Clifton 9's are the shoe for you. There's a reason why they're heralded by runners everywhere!

This award-winning Hoka style (it's been granted the Seal of Approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association) is super lightweight at 7.3 oz, but it's still impressively stable and soft. It boasts a plush heel designed for running and walking, so it's destined to get you wherever you're going in the utmost comfort.

These shoes have a very breathable knit upper, while the outsole is crafted with rubber for durability. Stability was top of mind in making these, and you'll have smooth heel-to-toe transitions with every step.

The Hoka Clifton 9's come in 20 different colorways for $145.

The Hot Girl Walker: Bondi 8

If you can't go a day without getting your steps in, it's important that you go for your hot girl walks with the right shoe so you can avoid potential strain and injuries. Per Hoka, the Bondi 8's are one of the "hardest working" shoes in their lineup, and it's specifically designed for walking and running (hot girl style).

It's also earned the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association for its unmatched stability and all-around support. The Bondi 8's are fitted with a pillowed tongue and a memory foam ankle lining for comfort. They're certainly on the plusher side when it comes to Hoka shoes, but they're not so much so that you feel unsure about your steps. They weigh in at 8.9 oz, so they're noticeably heavier than the Clifton 9's.

The foam bottom extends beyond your natural heel for additional support, plus they're an easy on and off thanks to the pull tab at the back.

The Hoka Bondi 8's currently come in 16 different colors for $165.

The Gym Rat: Mach 6

Gym rats, rise up! The Hoka Mach 6's boast the perfect weight, height, and cushion for taking you from the weight rack to the track. They're more streamlined in their design – the most noticeable difference being less heel height than the Clifton or Bondi models. Your foot will definitely be closer to the ground, which is beneficial for movements that involve balance.

While the Cliftons and Bondis have super thick and cushy soles, the Mach 6 soles are crafted from a firmer material for support. Though tougher, they still clock in at 6.7 oz. They're complete with an exceptionally responsive foam midsole that allows for more bounce, plus the outsole has a rubber coating for durability – making your shoe purchase last longer and look new for longer. This gorgeous colorway is an added bonus!

The Mach 6's are currently shoppable in 7 colors for $140.

The Trail Runner: Challenger 7

These Hokas were made for the granola girls who love to venture to the mountains for a cheeky trail run or hike. They have tons of grip the textured sole, ideal for road and trail running. The sole is fashioned with more aggressive lugs around the perimeter to help manage uneven surfaces without risk of injury.

The Challenger 7's boast a decently thick height for plushness to catch your steps, plus they have protective cushioning around the ankle to stabilize your movement.

These weigh in at 7.7 oz, come in 10 different colors, and are shoppable for $145.

My favorite moments that the duo documented on social were definitely Nina chowing down on a hot dog in the stands (that's so me), Shaun dancing along to Usher's halftime show, and them sharing a kiss after the big Chiefs win!

The two just look *so* happy together, and that makes me happy.

"Can you propose to this women yet? Beautiful couple!!!😍🔥," one commenter wrote on Instagram... and I'm wondering the exact same thing!

Snowboarding might not be a new thing for this "it" couple, but they still find a way to make it more fun every time they go. "Nina dropped her snowboard, so we had to go rescue it," Shaun says in a recent TikTok. In the video, he's carrying Nina while they snowboard and I am more than impressed! "Not all heroes wear capes," the caption reads.

July 2024 — Shaun White and Nina Dobrev Head To The Olympics

Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are currently in Paris, France for the 2024 Olympics...along with Zac Efron apparently. The couple partied it up, but when they got back to their hotel and realized the elevator was out, Shaun climbed more than three flights of stairs with Nina on his back!

The Vampire Diaries actress is still recovering from a dirt bike accident in May, and has recently moved from crutches to a cane. We're wishing Nina a speedy recovery!

August 28, 2024 — Shaun White & Nina Dobrev Attend A Gossip Girl Star's Wedding, And Look Good Doing It

Shaun White and Nina Dobrev turned up in style to Jessica Szohr's (who you'll recognize as Vanessa from GG) wedding to Brad Richardson. Nina served as Jessica's Maid of Honor, and their Instagram posts have me emotional!!

"Almost two decades of friendship, there’s almost nothing we haven’t been through together," Nina says in her caption. "It makes me so happy to see you glowing with such a huge smile on your face. It’s an indescribable feeling to see your best friend marry the man of her dreams and create a beautiful (arguably the most beautiful) family together. It’s just the beginning, your life starts now. Congratulations you two lovebirds 🤍🤍🤍 i love you both so much!!!"

"You have been there with me through thick and thin for almost 2 decades… so thank you… thank you Nina for all you’ve done throughout our friendship- but especially for all the wedding events;)," Jessica's post says. "You outdid yourself … going through a surgery, had a movie coming out, redoing a house, and being such an amazing friend through everything. For real- love you more than you will ever know!"

October 30, 2024 — Nina Dobrev And Shaun White Announce Their Engagement

Nina and Shaun announced that they're engaged at the end of October, and in Julianne Hough's words, "made all our dreams come true!" The couple posted separate Instagram posts celebrating the news, and Nina's definitely made me laugh: "RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé."

Shaun popped the question in front of a beautiful arch decorated in white roses (with a 5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring, no biggie), and literally swept Nina off her feet. "I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him,” Nina tells Vogue. And even though she says she blacked out and doesn't remember the actual proposal, she does know "he said all the right things.” I could cry!

The proposal came after Shaun had had to reschedule a few times (once after her dirt bike accident and once after she suspected it on their Cape Town vacation) — and to make sure Nina wasn't suspicious, he sent her a fake invitation to a dinner with Anna Wintour! "He made the invite look so legitimate,” Nina says.

Their upcoming nuptials will be quite the event, and one source tells People their wedding will be a "blowout party." I'm not even the slightest bit surprised. “They are the perfect fit together — fun and adventurous, but also very grounding for each other,” the source says. “After the proposal, they were calling and texting friends saying, 'It can't get better than this' and were just glowing.”
