Best Exercise for Health - Train the Back side
People move forward and the front of the body becomes stronger than the back side. If you only have time for a few exercises, train the back side. Target the triceps, lats, glutes, and hamstrings. For one move that hits all these muscles: Reverse Plank Bridge. Start seated with legs extended and arms at your side. Lift hips toward ceiling and hold 2-3 counts and rest. Work your way up to 15-20 repetitions. Photo: Getty Images
Hydrate First
Each morning, drag yourself out of bed and walk into the bathroom. Once you take that first look in the mirror, start your day with a big glass of water. Set your intention for peace, gratefulness and honor your body with movement. Our bodies lose water overnight and become dehydrated. Concentrate on drinking enough water and low calorie beverages until your urine is clear. Remember that muscles are made up of 72% water! Photo: Getty Images
Exercise Your Right to Sleep
When deciding whether a catnap or twenty minute walk will give you a boost, choose the catnap when you can. Sleep deprivation has been linked to weight gain. When you don't have the chance to sneak in a few missed "z's", take a brisk 20 minute walk. This will stimulate your cardiovascular system and burn a few calories. Photo: Getty Images
Walk-ilates If You Want to Walk with Ease
Walk-ilates combines walking with the power of Pilates. Think tall posture and be sure to make each step count. Push all the way through your feet so that you feel your big toe bend-- this gives your more back side toning and improves core strength. Photo: Getty Images
If You Love to Wear Heels - 3 Must Do Moves
If you wear high heels on a regular basis, your calf muscles become tighter, your knees may feel pressure just under the knee cap, or you might experience low back pain. All of these aches and pains, however, can be lessened or alleviated with three simple steps: 1) keep a golf ball by your bed and each morning roll your foot on the ball throughout the base of your foot for 1 minute each side. 2) Walk on your heels keeping your toes off the floor from the bed to the bathroom each morning. Lastly, 3) Pull your toes back towards your shins for 20 repetitions while lying down in bed each night. Article by Andrea Metcalf Photo: Getty Images
