A SUCCESSFUL WORKING MOM ASKS EXHALE TO HELP HER LOSE WEIGHT AND REGAIN EMOTIONAL EQUILIBRIUM
By Lyss Stern, exhale member, Author and Founder of Divamoms.com
I did a double take. It was March 2016, and I was watching an interview I had just done on a news show. I’m an author, mother of three and the creator of Divamoms.com, a New York City-based media and events company for moms, and I talk to the media often.
But this time I had to look twice, because I really didn’t recognize myself.

By Fred DeVito
It’s a new year, and now more than ever, you’re ready to conquer your fitness goals.
At the beginning of a new year, we’re usually pretty good at keeping up with our goals. Then, life interrupts – we make it to an occasional class, we fret over our loss of control, then we beat ourselves up over the entire ordeal. This dynamic is called self-induced stress, and is a common pitfall that leads to low morale and poor self-esteem. How quickly we can go from being on top of our fitness routine to falling completely off the wagon!
ROUND BACK: FLAT BACK’S BEST FRIEND (AND WHY IT’S YOURS TOO)
Round Back is a classic barre exercise: it has roots with Lotte Berk, the founder of the barre technique back in the 1960’s. It’s also a functional exercise position for gymnastic and springboard diver athletes. A staple in core conditioning exercises in every barre class, Round Back is the second exercise position in your core conditioning trifecta: Flat Back, then Round Back, followed by the Curl.

5 WAYS TO KICK STRESS TO THE CURB
Life is inevitable, but stress is not. The way that we react to difficult situations becomes the moment where we can choose whether or not to allow stress to surface. To help you strengthen your resistance to stressful thoughts and feelings, we’ve developed a defense plan that works like a charm.
Move it Whether you’re sweating it out or stretching it out, physical movement is a great way to channel whatever energy you’d normally put towards stress, into something productive and healthy.
