Share
Fall is almost here and you know what that means—crisp, cool air and the return of binge-worthy TV shows. From an animated comedy starring the voices of Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph (hello Bridesmaids belly laughs) to some seriously explosive dramas, FOX is stepping it up for sweater season.
That had us thinking: What does your favorite fall FOX show say about your workout?
Whether you want to sweat it out to a beat post-singing competition or you need a little *extra* zen after that deep TV family revelation, here are four workouts that fit your favorite FOX show this fall:
Prodigal Son
All new episodes Mondays at 9/8c on FOX
Workout: Kickboxing
A gifted criminal psychologist with a side of twisted genius? Count us in! Main character Malcolm Bright is on the hunt to solve murder cases, but his deeply disturbing family isn’t far removed. This darker drama has many compelling layers that keep our hearts racing (and stopping) at times. In the city that never sleeps, you have to have to be strong—both mentally and physically—to keep up with Malcolm's crazy world, that’s why kickboxing is the best full-body, muscle-burning workout for you. Now that’s how you give crime a one-two punch.

The Masked Singer

If you haven’t seen the first season of this top-secret singing competition, you are seriously missing out! It’s where music, fun and really ridiculous costume-clad celebrities collide. Featuring top tracks that will get you moving (and grooving) and a panel of hysterical judges, you never know what to expect once the beat drops. And if music is your thing, it’s time to bust a move and break a cardio-pumping sweat with an indoor cycling class. Animal masks not included.

Black-owned Beauty and Wellness Businesses to Know
Share
February is Black History Month—a celebration of the achievements and contributions of African Americans in society. As the beauty and wellness industry becomes a more welcoming and inclusive space for all, we are taking this opportunity to continue to shine a light on the gap of inclusivity and diversity in our industry, and take action to promote, empower, and honor the Black community that shapes and grows wellness.
While the beauty industry is making improvements—it's important to showcase and support Black businesses and the creatives in this space every day. To honor them, we're shouting out some of our favorite Black-owned beauty and wellness businesses to support.
1. Beauty Bin
Beauty Bin is a full-service day spa and dry bar located in Asheville, NC. With a focus on inclusivity for people of all backgrounds, genders, and races, their MO is to match the outer beauty of every client to their inner beauty. From eyelash extensions and hydrafacials to waxing and massage, Beauty Bin is a one-stop-shop for all the spa services.
2. KIKA Stretch Studio
The KIKA Method® is a gentle assisted stretching process that loosens up tight muscles freeing your body from pain and stress. By practicing this method, clients can experience decreased muscle tension, increased energy, enhanced flexibility, a substantial reduction in stress, improved posture and relaxation, and increased mental clarity. While its headquarters is located in Las Vegas, NV, they have multiple locations sprinkled throughout the US, including Atlanta, New York City, and Dallas—just to name a few.
3. Kimberly Coleman Salon
At Kimberly Coleman Salon, their philosophy begins with promoting healthy tresses, elegant sets, unique accouterments, perfect pampering of hands and feet, and precision cuts. Known for working with models and celebrities, they fully appreciate and celebrate the diversity of their clientele which also includes super moms and warrior dads.
4. Pressed Roots
Pressed Roots was developed with the simple concept in mind—that everyone deserves access to easy, and quality hair care. What started as a single pop-up shop in Boston, grew to a multi-city pop-up tour, and is now slated to be the largest national hair salon franchise specializing in the care and styling of highly textured hair, they launched their first flagship location in Dallas, TX.
5. SW3AT
Jersey City resident, Alyza Brevard-Rodriguez started SW3AT. The company began as a fitness apparel line in 2015 but evolved into a sanctuary catered to health and wellness now known as SW3AT Sauna Studio—the first infrared sauna studio in Jersey City. The healing power of infrared heat therapy is a phenomenal option for holistic health proven to strengthen the immune system and provide relief from joint stiffness and muscle pain. It is also supportive of any fitness program as it aids in weight loss (you can torch up to 900 calories in a 45-minute session) while also detoxifying your body from some of the most harmful toxins.
6. The TEN Nail Bar
Kelli Coleman and Anika Jackson opened The TEN Nail Bar in Detroit to address a void in their city. They saw a need for a quality, modern nail bar that could also serve as a fun social space for Detroit’s residents and professionals. They designed the TEN to provide their clients with a #Perfect10 experience—where you can relax, enjoy music, a drink, your friends, a clean and precise manicure, and a much-needed break from all your hectic days.
7. Bettye O Day Spa
Located in the beautiful downtown Hyde Park Chicago area, Bettye O Day Spa specializes in first-class treatments. They aim to nurture and relax each of their clients with individualized and innovative therapeutic techniques.
