7 Ways to Boost Your Health in 7 Days
Ever feel like your body could use an extra boost? Whether you’ve been skimping on sleep or forgetting to stay hydrated, a few small changes could have you feeling better in a matter of days. We’ve pulled together seven of our favorite health tips to help you hit the reset button this week.
1. Do the barre3 Challenge now. Whether you joined us for the entire thing or you’re jumping in now, we’ve got you covered! We’re keeping the barre3 Challenge Hub up for one more month so you can get stronger, more balanced, and feel good in February. You can access this wildly popular weekly support for free once you subscribe to our online workouts. You got this!
2. Get an accountability partner—someone who can motivate you when you’re tempted to slack on that early-morning workout. Studies show that healthy people tend to surround themselves with like-minded friends, so round up your tribe and create your own culture of good health.
3. Move all day. Short, frequent bursts of movement keep your metabolism revved, which helps you burn more calories throughout the day. Try busting out a 10-minute Online workout or go for a brisk walk on your lunch break instead of eating at your desk.
4. Go green. Replace your grains and starches with greens this week to shed weight and deeply nourish your body.
5. Swap your coffee for green tea. Green tea has been shown to boost metabolism, plus it’s loaded with healthy antioxidants. Coffee has higher levels of caffeine, which causes your blood sugar to spike and then crash.
6. Drink more water. Being properly hydrated keeps your mind sharp, your muscles energized, and your skin glowing. To liven up the flavor, try infusing your water with fresh lemon slices, mint, berries or thinly sliced cucumber.
7. Get your zzzs. Getting less than seven hours’ sleep at night triggers higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to weight gain and depression. To create a better sleep environment, turn off the TV and computer an hour before bedtime—their bright lights can fool your body into staying awake.
