March 17, 2023 | VIEW IN BROWSER March 17, 2023 | VIEW IN BROWSER Good morning and happy St. Patrick's Day! We hope you have a delightful weekend ahead of you full of St. Patrick's Day celebrations. If you're planning to squeeze some exercise or extra sleep in between parties, we have some tips to help you out. Plus, our sleep challenge is still going strong and we'd love for you to join us!   Today the challenge is to make one simple swap that could make a major difference in how well you sleep. Trade in your nighttime snack or glass of wine for a cup of tea. Something as simple as a warm cup of herbal tea can set the mood for better sleep. Not a fan of herbal tea? Swap it with one of these relaxing habits instead. JOIN THE CHALLENGE > Walking Challenge Today's Workout Today's workout is a 20-minute walk. It's easy to forget to stretch after your walk, but don't! Not only does it help keep your muscles limber, it feels good, too! Win-win. This kneeling lunge is a great way to loosen up those hard-to-reach muscles at the front of the hip.    Try this kneeling lunge:   From your hands and knees, step one foot forward and bend the front knee. Walk the foot forward far enough so that when you bend the front knee it's over your ankle and you feel a stretch on the bent knee's hip flexor. Hold with your hands on the ground or walk your hands up onto the opposite thigh. Pull the abs in. Hold and then switch sides.   SEE MORE > Need a break from this month's challenge?
