New Year, new you?

Try adding cardio to your routine if you aren't doing it already.

According to research, cardio may help memory and overall brain health (not to mention other benefits from heart health to weight maintenance).

The Mayo Clinic suggests that 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly is an adequate amount of time for good cardiorespiratory fitness.

They've given us another reason to hit the gym (and, more specifically, the treadmill) this January.

Neck and upper back pain?

You might be able to blame your phone (habits) for that.

Cell phone usage has increased the amount of neck and back issues in the general population.

Is your Instagram feed really worth throwing out the alignment of your spine? (We won’t judge, but we can help!)

For more information about the perils of our phones (seriously), feel free to read the article below.

Head, face and neck injuries due to cell phone use have risen sharply over the last 20 years and can carry the risk of long-term complications, a new study says.

Do you have a glute imbalance?

This common issue, in which one side of the body is stronger than the other, can lead to pain and injury if left alone.

Pain associates with imbalances can also manifest in other areas such as the knees and lower back.

To test your glute balance, try single-leg deadlifts to identify which muscles need to be strengthened.

In order to create balance, focus on isometric contractions.

Even out that peach.

Flu season is upon us. (Have you gotten your flu shot yet?)

Any New Yorker knows how difficult it can be to avoid coughing and sneezing commuters in public places. However, there are some things we can do to prevent illness (beyond washing our hands nonstop!)

Here are some tips from an immunologist about avoiding getting sick this winter.

1. Keep surfaces clean - especially your work desk / communal work areas

2. Avoid crowded areas (this is impossible for New Yorkers, sorry)

3. Make your body less of a target for viruses - stay hydrated and use natural antivirals to limit infections

4. Manage stress and sleep (always important but even more so now!)

5. Make sure you’re getting your vitamins (particularly Vitamins C and D and Zinc)

For more information, be sure to read the article below.
