As the largest muscle in your body, your glutes can really pay the price of sitting too long. It’s time to get moving!
Working the glutes typically involves squats and lunges, but not everyone can do them because they can be hard on the knees. So try three lower-impact -- but intense -- training exercises that are variations of the glute bridge. This workout is guaranteed to tone and shape your legs and glutes, while leaving you sore in all the right places.
Follow the link to see how it’s done. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

Feeling anxious on this Tax Day? April is National Stress Awareness Month and a good time to remember anxiety doesn’t have to rule your world.
“Stress is the perception of a threatening thought and if you don’t identify with it, then there’s no stress,” Dr. Deepak Chopra told TODAY. “There’s no such thing as peace of mind. That’s an oxymoron. Peace is when there’s absence of thought.”
He recommends this breathing technique to quickly calm down: Put your hands in your arm pits. Slowly inhale to the count of four, then exhale to the count of four. Then switch the order of the hands in the armpits and repeat. This will slow down your heart rate and breathing, and help you relax.
Follow the link to see Chopra demonstrate the technique. |
