Walking Challenge Walking Challenge Today's Workout Today's workout is a 10-minute upper body dumbbell routine.   If you suffer from knee pain, it's smart to add exercises to your routine that strengthen the muscles around the joint. The glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves can help stabilize and support the knee joint, reducing pain and the likelihood of injury.   Straight leg raises are the perfect starter exercise. They engage the quadriceps, which stabilize the knee joint during movement. To perform: Lie down on your back. Bring one leg in by bending the knee and setting your foot flat on the floor. The other leg should be kept straight out in front of you. Keeping the bent leg still, raise the straight leg to the height of the bent knee. Point the foot and squeeze the quad. Repeat 10 times and then switch legs. Suffer from knee pain? These 10 exercises will help. GET THE WORKOUT > Need a break from this month's challenge?

Woman loses 130 pounds after adopting this simple mental health habit After years of eating bread and pasta, Brittney Custard was close to 300 pounds, a heavy burden for her 5-foot-1-inch frame.   The first step toward losing weight was journaling to identify behaviors and triggers that caused her to overeat, Custard says.   "Anytime I had an urge, anytime I had a craving, I would write down my state of mind. Why am I having this craving?" she recalls. "OK, I notice I (eat) bread when I'm feeling like this. When I'm stressed out here, I tend to order out. I'll get pizza."   By observing herself and analyzing her eating habits, Custard says she noticed she was eating many carbs and drinking a lot of soda. That's when she started looking into a low-carb diet.   This is what Custard ate to get her health back on track.
