Walking Challenge Today's Workout Today's workout is focused on building strength in the upper body and lower body. Try this side lunge to stabilize your abs and strengthen your lower body. You can it quickly for a burst of cardio or slowly to focus on strength.   Here's how: 1. Start standing with feet hips-width apart and your back straight. 2. Step your right foot to the right and bend the right knee. Sit the right glute down and back as if you're sitting into a chair. Keep the left leg straight and pull the abs in. 3. Press down through the right heel to come back to the starting position.   Repeat 10 times, then switch sides. If you want to add an upper body component, try holding dumbbells by your sides. You can really level up by adding in a bicep curl! SEE MORE > Need a break from this month's challenge? Click here to snooze this section until next month. 😴 We want your feedback!

Do this 1 thing to prevent 9+ serious health conditions We all know that exercise is good for our health. But it seems like there's a new study released every day reiterating that fact.   Today, for example, a new study was released that showed that participants who got more physical activity had a lower risk for hospitalization due to nine conditions, including diabetes, gallbladder disease, blood clots, urinary tract infections and more.   Not only that, but when the researchers substituted 20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity for sedentary behavior, they also showed an even more significant reduction in hospitalizations.   Basically, getting a bit of exercise will likely reduce your chance of being hospitalized with a serious condition, but getting 20 minutes of physical activity every day could reduce your risk of illness even more dramatically. Seems like a great motivator to get out there and walk!  READ MORE > Wellness News Chicken fried rice, taco soup and more meal ideas for the week ahead New week, new healthy recipe ideas!
