Today's workout is a 15-minute aerobics routine. If you're huffing and puffing after moving to the beat for a few minutes, you may wonder how professional dancers build the endurance to dance for hours. We joined the Rockettes for one of the workouts they use to build the core and leg strength, balance and endurance required to perform the demanding "Christmas Spectacular" show (and that infamous kick line). Try the 5-minute cardio and strength workout. |

You may be accustomed to using avocado in salads and guacamole, but its creamy richness pairs well with fruit and greens for a filling breakfast treat, too. This smoothie contains protein, vegetables, fruit and heart-healthy fats, making it a simple and balanced meal. If you're not fond of kale, don't worry. The sweetness from blueberries and a banana will offset its taste. Or you can sub baby spinach, a milder-tasting green, instead. If you want to make this vegan, use silken tofu or an unsweetened vegan protein powder in place of the yogurt. Breakfast: Energizing Kale Smoothie Lunch: Veggie-Packed Sandwich Dinner: Leftovers or takeout |

Are pickles good for you? Just 1 spear is packed with these vitamins and minerals |
Love them or hate them, pickles are having a moment. The salty, crunchy snack is a refrigerator staple, and it seems like everyone is making their own at home and sharing the results on social media. "Pickles" usually refers to pickled cucumbers, though many other vegetables and fruits can be pickled. A cucumber becomes a pickle after it has been preserved in a solution of vinegar, or salt and water. This technique gives the pickle its signature salty, sour, tangy bite. Are pickles good for you? And is it healthy to eat pickles every day? We spoke to experts to find out. Find out if pickles are a healthy snack. |
