Today's workout is walk and core. The plank works the entire body — the core, abs, arms, back, shoulders, glutes and lower body, and it can help with back pain. I recommend that my clients include this low-impact exercise regularly in their workout routine. Planks are much harder than they look — the position uses so many muscle groups, it's easy to do it incorrectly. I recommend doing a modified plank if you're new to fitness so you avoid the risk of injury. To do a modified version of the plank, follow the instructions below and check out the exercises that will help you build the strength necessary for the full move. Learn how to do a plank correctly. |

The similar mayonnaise base in both a classic tuna salad and a Waldorf makes these two dishes a natural flavor pairing. It's the best of both worlds!

To stop the carb-hating, we've compiled a list of the healthiest carb-rich foods that can actually help you lose weight. See a dietitian's top carb pick for weight loss. |
