HOW TO PREP FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON (THE EXHALE WAY)
Here’s our guide to staying healthy during the busiest — ahem, we mean most wonderful —time of the year. THE WORKOUTS
- A walk outdoors It’s pretty simple, but there’s nothing we love more than a fall or winter walk with friends and family. It’s a great way to fit in time to be active – even on holidays that seem to be all about the stuffing.
- Exhale On Demand Working out at home or on-the-go is a little bit easier when your favorite class is literally in your pocket. Hello, Exhale On Demand.
- Skiing We love skiing – and it burns serious calories, especially if you’re going cross-country. And believe it or not, your Barre practice helps you ski like a pro thanks to strengthening exercises and isometric holds that keep your legs and core strong and healthy.

10 WELLBEING TIPS
By exhale co-founder, Fred DeVito 1. Maximize calorie burn and weight control Look for workouts like exhale Barre that raise your metabolic rate and stoke up your calorie burn around the clock. A one-hour run will burn a lot of calories during that hour, but you need to consider what you are burning the other 23 hours of the day. 2. Balance Your Workouts The muscular system, unlike all of the other systems of the body, does not automatically find balance – but you can balance your body with a mix of strength, cardio, and flexibility. In exhale classes, we balance your muscles with equal amounts of strength, cardio, and flexibility so you can get your best results

CALL IT FALLING IN LOVE
I’m the first to admit that, in many ways, I was in pretty bad shape.
And I mean more than the 35 pounds I’d gained.
Despite the assurances of my A-list book agent, my latest book proposal hadn’t sold (I’d had 8 previously published), and a relationship with a business partner went deeply south.
More than that, over 18 months I waded through a sea of loss and death, all involving those closest to me in one way or another:
-My next door neighbor (who had become an unexpected mother-figure) -My best friend from Yale’s partner (I got the call in the middle of the night -My post-college best friend’s soulmate -My best friend of the last few years’ fiancée (I was there when they met and -I ended up co-planning the funeral) and finally … -My own father, all passed away.
