Today's workout is resistance bands. Cardiovascular training — sometimes called aerobic exercise — is any repetitive movement that increases the heart rate and amount of oxygen your body uses. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend getting at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination of both. With our increasingly sedentary lives, many people fall short of hitting this benchmark, but doing so comes with some impressive health benefits. See the 25 cardio exercises you can do without leaving your house. |

This chili gets the bulk of its flavor from simple pantry ingredients: namely, canned chipotle chiles in adobo and fire-roasted tomatoes. The chiles bring a rich heat and the tomatoes lend smoky-sweetness; the flavors are layered with smoked paprika, cumin and fresh aromatics. For heft, three cans of beans do the work of any ground meat (you could use all of the same beans if you'd like, but the textural and visual variety of a mix of pinto, black and kidney beans is my preference.) Breakfast: Peanut Butter and Banana Overnight Oats Lunch: Tuna-Olive Salad Sandwich with Veggies Dinner: Vegan Three-Bean Chili |

While some like it hot, dialing up the heat may ruin a meal for others. Spicy food is divisive, and everyone's tolerance is different. Whether you love the tingling burn of a spicy meal or you can't stand the scorch, you may be wondering: Does spicy food have health benefits? Or are fiery foods risky or even dangerous? |
