THE DAILY CHECK-IN
3.24
WORKOUT:
STRETCH IT OUT
PURE Yoga’s SLOW FLOW: SPLIT WORK routine on Variis includes cobras, a backbend that opens the heart. You’ll also move through down dogs, high lunges, and other poses to enhance flexibility and help you reset.
STREAMLINE YOUR COUNTER
Clutter encourages overeating.
Use your at-home time to attack your counters—all that should be on there is your daily arsenal: a blender, coffee machine, and a well-stocked fruit bowl.
This makes unwanted choices (like eating an entire bag of chips) harder and more inconvenient to make, says Krista Scott-Dixon, director of curriculum development at Precision Nutrition.
DO WFH ERGONOMICS
Bad setups strain your neck and spine, says Todd Anderson, Tier X coach and area personal training manager in New York City.
The top of your laptop screen should sit at or slightly below eye level and your elbows should be bent at 90 degrees when typing. (If you have to pick one optimization, choose screen height.)
SKIP SMALL TALK
Even though we're talking more and more, it's not necessarily quality conversation.
There’s a reason to bring up deeper topics: People who do tend to be happier than those who stick to small talk.
When you catch up with family or friends today, share something meaningful about yourself and ask them to do the same.
