If you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep, this simple expert-approved, breathing trick might help. 😴

Dr. Kuljeet K. Gill, sleep medicine specialist at Northwestern Medicine says, “Repeatedly count down from eight to one while taking deep breaths.”

If you don’t feel sleepy after five or so rounds of the countdown breathing exercise, try to resist the temptation to check the time.

Instead, move to another quiet, dark area in the home and do something peaceful, like meditating or reading in very dim light. When you feel tired, return to bed and try sleeping again. 😴

If you're not seeing results from your ab workout, you're likely making this 1 mistake 👀

Health editor and personal trainer @atimetokale says most core workouts focus on what you see — but real strength starts deeper.

Your deep core muscles support your posture, protect your back, and help create a stronger, more stable midsection. And the good news? You don’t need complicated routines to start seeing a difference.

These 6 exercises are simple, effective, and designed to target the muscles most people miss:

Pelvic tilt
Bridge marches
Dead bugs
Bird dog
Bear hold + crawl
Hip dips
Weighted marches

📌Save this to add to your a workout routine a few times a week!

Joy Bauer dropped her go-to snack formula on our latest Start TODAY coaching call 👏.

The simple combo of protein + fiber helps you stay full, energized, and satisfied (no more mindless snacking).

Save this for the next time afternoon hunger strikes! 🍎🥜

If you’re tired of eating the same meal 4 days in a row, steal @greenletes protein strategy!

Instead of planning full recipes, just pick a different protein for each night and build your meals around that.

You’ll still hit your protein goals, but your meals will be interesting, tasty and satisfying.

Save this for the next time you’re feeling stuck at dinner time.
