Today's workout is a 5-minute stretch.
Need a quick boost of cardio to get those endorphins going? Try high knees! March your right knee up toward your chest, place it down, and then march the left knee toward your chest. As you start moving faster, try and keep your knees up as high as you can. You can pick up the pace and increase the impact of this workout by adding jumps. Always land with softly bent knees, and swing your arms to keep your heart rate up.
Get more cardio moves you can do at home.

A nighttime routine to help you fall asleep faster |
A bit of gentle yoga before bed will help muscles — and the mind — to relax. Studies show that just ten minutes a day of yoga can help improve mood, musculoskeletal discomfort and improve your sleep quality. Here's how to do it:
Breathe in through the nose and out through the nose four times. While connecting with your breath, sit up and open your knees out to the sides with your feet touching, if you can. Slowly lean forward to feel a stretch in your hips, groin and low back.
Next, extend your legs in front of you and hinge forward into a forward fold. How far you fold is not the point — connecting with your body and breath is the point. While in that position, breathe in and out four times. Finally, lie flat on your back and hug your knees into your chest. Let the knees fall to the right for four breaths, then switch to the other side. Get more tips for better sleep. |
