BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS? IF YOU TOOK A (LONG) BREAK FROM YOUR WORKOUT
ROUTINE, IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND COMMITMENT TO GET BACK TO
YOUR PREVIOUS FIGHTING SHAPE. BUT IT CAN BE DONE.

TIPS AND TRICKS
IT’S TIME TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FEET. THAT’S RIGHT, YOUR FEET.
STRONG FEET GIVE YOUR LEGS A DURABLE BASE TO PUSH OFF FROM WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING,
CYCLING, SQUATTING, OR DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU LIKE TO DO TO STAY FIT. SECOND,
STRONG FEET ARE MORE RESISTANT TO FOOT PAIN, ONE OF THE MOST COMMON SOURCES OF
BODILY ACHES RIGHT UP THERE WITH BACK PAIN. THESE TWO EXERCISES CAN HELP.
· TOWEL SCRUNCH
SIT IN A CHAIR WITH BARE FEET. PLACE A TOWEL ON THE FLOOR, ABOUT TWO FEET IN
FRONT OF THE CHAIR. USING THE TOES ON YOUR RIGHT FOOT, EXTEND YOUR DIGITS ACROSS
THE TOWEL, THEN CONTRACT THEM, SCRUNCHING YOUR TOES TOGETHER AND PULLING THE
FABRIC CLOSE TO YOUR CHAIR. RELEASE THE TOWEL AND EXTEND YOUR TOES AGAINST IT,
GRABBING MORE FABRIC AND YOU SCRUNCH THEM TOGETHER. CONTINUE REACHING AND
SCRUNCHING UNTIL YOU HAVE CREATED A BALLED-UP TOWEL IN FRONT OF YOUR CHAIR. DO
THREE SETS.
· PICK-UP GAME
TAKE THE PIECES TO YOUR FAVORITE BOARD GAME LIKE MONOPOLY (CHESS AND CHECKERS
WORK, TOO), AND SCATTER THEM ON THE FLOOR. SIT IN A CHAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
MESS. USING ONLY YOUR TOES, GRAB, LIFT, AND CARRY EACH PIECE TO A NEARBY BUCKET
WHERE THEY WILL BE STORED. CONTINUE UNTIL THE FLOOR IS CLEAN. BRING THE KIDS IN
ON THIS ONE — IT’S A FAMILY FAVORITE.
HERE ARE A FEW MORE FOOT EXERCISES TO TRY.

TIPS AND TRICKS
DON’T NEGLECT YOUR SUPPORT NETWORK
THERE’S A LOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW. IT’S IMPORTANT TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO
MAINTAIN CONNECTIONS WITH THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIVES — ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO
SUPPORT YOU. “WE UNDERESTIMATE HOW BEING ABLE TO RELATE TO PEOPLE, EMOTIONALLY
CONNECT, AND HANG OUT CAN BE VERY NOURISHING TO OUR MENTAL HEALTH,” SAYS TRACI
MAYNIGO, A PSYCHOLOGIST AND HEAD OF THE SUPPORTING HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIPS/FATHERHOOD PROGRAM AT MONTEFIORE MEDICAL CENTER IN NEW YORK CITY.
“WE HANDLE DIFFICULT TIMES BETTER WHEN WE’RE NOURISHED BY THE PEOPLE AROUND US.”
YEAH, YEAH, YOU’RE BUSY. WE GET IT. BUT FIND WAYS TO HANG OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS.
CALL THEM. TEXT THEM. MAKE PLANS. FILL THEM IN. LISTEN AS THEY DO THE SAME.
“THERE’S RESEARCH THAT SHOWS THAT WHEN WE HAVE A CLOSE ATTACHMENT WITH ANOTHER
PERSON, IT CAUSES OUR BRAINS TO EXPERIENCE AND PERCEIVE STRESS AND PAIN
DIFFERENTLY — OUR PERCEPTION OF THREAT AND PAIN DECREASES WHEN WE’RE IN THE
PRESENCE OF SOMEONE WE HAVE AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH.”
HERE ARE 15 MORE MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGIES TO KEEP IN MIND.
