The first ever virtual Start TODAY event is happening next week! Join us for a meal-prepping session sponsored by Instacart, plus the chance to connect live with Stephanie Mansour and other Start TODAY members! Click here to buy your tickets. As a parent, your ultimate goal is to help your children grow into healthy, happy adults — and that includes fostering a healthy relationship with food. A registered dietitian (with her own food baggage from childhood) shares the 5 things she never does with her kids and food. Plus, the V-sit is one of the more challenging moves you'll see in a core workout. This is because it functions as both a core exercise and a balancing move, which requires a lot of strength. Here are 4 other exercises to help you get there. |

Today's workout is a 7-minute core routine.
The V-sit is one of the more challenging moves you'll see in the core routine. This move does a great job of challenging multiple parts of the core at the same time, including the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, obliques and hip flexors. But what makes the V-sit special (and so hard!) is its ability to function as both a core exercise and a balancing move. So if you're still struggling to perform a full V-sit, that's why! Sticking with the modified version — and including exercises in your routine that help improve strength and balance — will help you get there. 4 other core exercises that will help improve balance and strength. |

I'm a mom and registered dietitian. 5 things I never do with my kids and food |
All parents want their kids to grow up as happy and healthy as possible. But, by focusing too much on weight or calories, some parents may be unintentionally setting the stage for their children to develop an unhealthy relationship with food, says Ayat Sleymann, a registered dietitian and mom of two kids, ages 4 and 6. Sleymann specializes in helping moms lose weight and that often requires guiding them to unlearn some strict dieting rules they may have grown up with to avoid falling into a yo-yo dieting cycle. As someone who was raised in one of those households where there were "good" and "bad" foods, Sleymann says, "To this day, I have a hard time navigating those thoughts." She shared five points she keeps in mind while working through those issues in her own family — and how she tries to create a more positive environment for her kids to feel comfortable navigating food, hunger cues and their bodies. 5 things she never does with her kids and food. |
