Wellness Wednesday

New year, new you, am I right?  If you’re like most people, losing weight seems to top the list of common “New Year resolutions” every year. It’s also traditionally the most often and quickest to be broken! As the new year begins, and with fitness and wellness topping the list, we’re guiding you through a day packed with several ways kick those goals into high gear and on the path to success.

6am – Get the day started with a music pumping, high intensity, full body workout at Kore. Think fitness meets club. Your co-workers might hate you for having the most energy in the morning (and a rockin bod) but you’ll be feeling confident and #sexyaf.

8am– After getting your morning adrenaline fix and you still feel the need for speed, grab a matcha latte from Chalait inside Chelsea Market, which serves a variety of signature green beverages. You’ll even find matcha in the unique breakfast options…matcha smoothie bowl anyone?

12pm– With all that hard sweat won and done bright and early, you’re more than likely to be ready for lunch before noon rolls around. If you’re trying out a more plant-based diet, head over to Beyond Sushi for endless vegan options, where your daily dose of vegetables is as Instagram worthy as it is delicious.

1pm– If you’re like the majority of the work-force, you probably brought your lunch back to your desk to power through whatever you need to get done, but in 2018 you’re attempting great balance. On Wednesdays, make it a point to go to the Rubin Museum of Art for a weekly Mindfulness Meditation. 45 minutes to quiet the mind, open the heart, calm the nervous system, and increase focus. You’ll return to the office in a zen-like state ready to take on whatever comes your way.

3pm– Interested in lifting weights but not sure where to begin? There’s a class for that. Enter Liftonic’s LT101 as your introduction to strength training. Every Monday and Wednesday at 3pm, you’ll learn the proper technique, form and weight ranges for most basic moves.

4pm– It’s time for a late afternoon pick-me-up. Head over to The Wild Son for the dark lemon soda. This lemonade has activated charcoal to make you feel extra healthy and on [wellness] trend. If murky drinks aren’t your thing, there’s plenty of other fresh juices with lots of health benefits.

5pm- The icing on the wellness cake can be any number of spa-like treatments, but we recommend a massage at Exhale. Or maybe double down on that 2018 health resolve, and sign up for the Perfect Package which includes four fitness classes + one spa therapy each month. You’ll also receive 20% off additional spa therapies. #noexcuses

6pm– If you’re sticking to your goals and working out each day, chances are you’ll need some new workout gear to save you a trip to the laundromat. All around favorite and district staple lululemon will hook you up with the most stylish and comfortable gear to motivate you to continue sweat it out well past January.
