Can This Workout Plan Also Boost Your Mental Health?
October is a tricky time for our diet and fitness routine. Sandwiched between the return to a fall schedule that often helps us recommit to our health goals and a more lax holiday season, it can sometimes feel like No Man’s Land. Do we go all in on our health goals or start easing up and let ourselves slide slowly into holiday mode?
How about a little of both? That’s what we’re doing this month: Focusing on ways to make your health routine feel like a treat and not a chore with workouts, foods and habits that feel good and leave you energized and motivated to tackle your goals. On the workout front, we have a 31-Day Low-Impact Cardio & Core Challenge designed to boost your mood, energy and metabolism, while being easy on the joints.
“Focusing on low-impact cardio and core strength for one month will leave you feeling good! I want your body to crave movement and exercise because you feel better afterward,” says TODAY Fitness Contributor Stephanie Mansour. A stronger, tighter core, better mobility and increased strength in the upper and lower body are all benefits you can expect to see in just 31 days. Plus, if weight-loss is a goal you may also feel like you can button your pants more easily, adds Mansour.
