A TODAY Health feature promotes a 31-day plan that blends cardio, strength, stretching, and yoga with habit-stacking to lift mood and reduce stress, backed by nutrition tips that favor energy-sustaining meals and a Mediterranean-style diet, plus daily app-delivered routines and live coaching.
Habit-stacking helps you turn health intentions into real routines by attaching a very small new habit to a familiar daily cue, then gradually expanding it into workouts, meditation, better meals, or earlier bedtimes. Start with a tiny action after a reliable trigger, keep it under a minute, track progress, and adjust as needed to create sustainable wellness momentum.

NASM-certified personal trainer Emma Vollrath shares her busy girl treadmill routine, which combines low-intensity steady state (LISS) cardio with multitasking. By setting the treadmill to 3.0 mph at a 3.5 incline, Vollrath is able to walk for at least 30 minutes while answering emails or taking calls. LISS cardio provides health benefits such as improved muscle strength, heart health, mental health, cognitive function, and sleep. Additionally, the incline targets various muscle groups and engages the core. This routine not only promotes physical fitness but also enhances productivity by increasing creativity, focus, and reducing stress.
