Eat Well

Be Active
Move more. It is that easy. It’s as easy as tying on your shoes and going for a walk.

Let's move!
Three groups of exercises. The first group, you'll do each for 45 seconds. The second group will be for 50 seconds. The third for 60 seconds. Sounds tough, but you can do it! You'll end with a plank burnout: 30 seconds high plank, right side plank, left side plank, and then low plank, low left side plank and low right side plank. No breaks, just a toned core at the end!
Start your music!

Social Health
How many friends do you have? How much do you know about your friends? Do you know what they do for you? So much, without even doing more than just being your friend.
