I love these short and attainable workouts at home. When you have young kids (or babies) you can't get to a gym. She has workouts as short as 5 minutes up to 45 minutes. They are great for all levels too. Oh and they are on Youtube and free, you're w...

I've been a dancer all my life so a modern class is my go to workout. I currently dance for Full Circle and they are my second family. Adult dance classes can make a great community and you get flexability and a good cardio workout.

Not just massage therapy but other services as well help me keep my movement going. I think it's important to work on your body in all ways, not just intense workouts.

These are the best joggers I own. I've had mine for years and they have't worn down. They are so comfortable and great for an easy workout or even walk in the neighborhood.

I like these because they are comfortable around my legs and they come in different strengths. I do my own made up exercises with them and boy do they make a huge difference. Easy to have around the house too because they don't take up a lot of space...

When I'm at my daughters soccer games I try and get up to walk so I love having my belt bag to hold my keys and phone. I love all the colors this one comes in and it is a great size.

This book is so good because you just have to read one page a day. Sometimes not even a full page. It's so insightful and so important to just take a moment and reflect on each day.

Any of these books on this list are a good choice, you just have to make the choice for yourself. I think taking time in the morning or at night to journal is such a wise part of a wellness journey.
