Walk Toward Better Health
A healthy lifestyle includes staying physically active. Not only will you reduce your risk of health problems, but you will also benefit from lower stress, improved sleep, and a better mood. To get the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity each week, change up your wellness routines with walking and muscle strengthening activities. Need ideas on how to get your steps in? Here are some easy ways.
Back to Basics with Daily Habits
Protecting your back and spine goes a long way to staying active. As back issues are a common source of pain affecting 80% of people at some point in their lives, it’s important to develop healthy habits that support good posture. Participate in the Back Health Plan to become more aware of how your habits and activities impact your back. Don’t forget to stretch!
No Back Problems?
