Simple Bodyweight Exercises You Can Do At Home

I love bodyweight exercises. They’re easy to do and they help you build strength, flexibility, and balance. While I was pregnant with my first child, I did yoga every day and it helped me stay in shape during pregnancy as well as after she was born. Now that she’s a toddler, my wife and I are back at it again—and we’ve been doing a lot of these simple bodyweight exercises at home (and outside).

Plank

Plank is a great exercise to do at home. It’s also one of the most effective core exercises you can do, with the added benefit of working your entire body.

To perform plank, start in push-up position with your hands under your shoulders and feet together (or as close as possible). Keep everything tight from head to toe and hold for 30 seconds without letting go or allowing any part of your body to sag toward the floor.

If this feels too difficult at first, try using a chair or wall for support until you’re able to hold it on its own without having anything help out! Plank is also a good exercise to do before bed because it’s relaxing but challenging enough that it’ll …

California Finally Gets Integrative Health Care

Integrative medicine is a growing trend in healthcare. Integrative health care professionals look at the body as a whole and consider all aspects when treating their patients. By combining standard medical practices with alternative treatments, they can help patients find what works best for them. The goal is always to find the best possible treatment that will improve your health and well-being.

What is integrative health care?

Integrative medicine is a form of complementary medicine that uses a combination of conventional medical diagnosis and treatment with alternative therapies. It is used to improve the quality of life, health and well-being of patients.

Integrative medicine was first introduced in 1993 by Dr Richard T. Lipton at Mount Sinai School Of Medicine in New York City. He saw that many patients were going to their doctor with pain or illness but did not feel like they were getting better after being prescribed medications or surgery to fix their problem; so he started looking into different types of treatments such as acupuncture and chiropractic care which could be used alongside traditional Western medicine without interfering with any drugs they may be taking at the time (Lipton).

How does it work?

The Best Types of Camping Gear For Beginners

Camping is an amazing way to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, but it can also be a great way to bond with your friends and family. Whether you’re camping as a group or just as a couple, there are certain things you’ll need to make sure you’ve got before going on your trip. Here are some of our favorite items!

1. Sleeping bag

A sleeping bag is an essential piece of camping gear. You’ll be spending a lot of time in it, and it’s important that you find one that fits your needs.

A sleeping bag should be warm enough to keep you comfortable in all but the coldest temperatures (a good rule of thumb is to choose a bag rated for at least 10 degrees colder than where you’ll be camping). It should also be light enough to carry easily–you don’t want something weighing down on top of you as well as adding bulk! And finally, the material used for manufacturing must be easy for washing and drying so that any dirt or stains can be removed quickly and easily before they become permanent marks on your new purchase.

2. Tent
