5 Habits To Break Today, To Be Healthier

1. Soda- Soda can be very satisfying, but it's filled with sugar and empty calories. Try Zevia instead (available at Whole Foods). This "natural soda" has no calories and is sweetened with a natural plant based sweetener called Stevia. This is a much healthier alternative, and won't add extra calories to your diet.

2. Bland Food- Feel free to add flavor to your food, with various herbs and spices. These spicy wonders are not only tasty, but can actually make you healthier. Many herbs and spices boast benefits like lowering blood sugar levels (Cinnamon), and improving circulation (Cayenne Pepper.)

3. Getting Angry At Traffic- Reduce your stress levels during traffic by playing soothing music during a stressful drive. Try to focus on how the music makes you feel, and not the other drivers.

4. Avoiding The Doctor And Dentist- We all do it, but avoiding your health specialist is dangerous to your health. Seeing a doctor and dentist regularly is essential to your overall health. Schedule any appointments today! Don't hesitate any longer!

5. Staying Cooped Up- For many of us, work is very important. Staying cooped up, however, for days on end is just not good for your health. Enjoy your friends and loved ones, and take a moment to be thankful for them. You will be adding years to your life by doing so!!

Get Sexy Legs By Summer

If you want to look hot it your bathing suit, and short shorts this summer, now is the time to start working on it. Here are a few tips to get those sexy summer legs:

1. Running- Running at a small incline, while focusing on the legs will really shape and tone your legs. Be sure you are doing this consistently. Focus on heel to toe movements. Keep in mind that running is not for everyone!

2. Stair Master- Ten minutes on this often dreaded machine, and you will feel those legs working. If you spend a short amount of time on a stair master consistently, you will be sure to feel that tush firm up in no time. If you don't go to a gym, always take the stairs instead of the elevator for a spontaneous workout.

3. Lunges- With two small weights in each hand, you can do regular lunges or alternating lunges. This exercise in particular yields great results when conducted consistently. Try walking lunges, for even more of a challenge!
