Do planks: “A strong core is the foundation of a fit, health body,” says David Kirsch, celebrity trainer, and this is the number one move for it. Try a set of planks for a couple of minutes before getting into the shower every morning. Dave and Cindy recommend building up a tolerance to planks and timing yourself to see your daily progress.
Dry brush: Something Cindy has done regularly for a very long time, take two minutes of dry brushing your body before a shower increases circulation, stimulates the lymphatic system (which moves toxins out of the body), makes your skin glow, and even helps tone and firm your legs and tush. Cindy says to begin with your feet, brushing your skin in a light, circular motion, upwards along the body, and then hop in the shower. Dry brushing is a great way to exfoliate also.
Look at your plate before diving in: Visually take in your food before you start eating really helps you savor your meal and slow down. Dave says: enjoy it before you eat it! Taking a minute to just look, observe, and appreciate your meal helps you realize you are full before overeating; Cindy calls this mindful eating.
Meditation: With all the hustle and bustle its good to take the two minutes and meditate. Take a moment, focus on something, let your mind wander, and all of a sudden clarity will come. It is not something Dave does consciously, don't pressure yourself, just take a moment to let your mind wander for a couple minutes. What works best for Cindy is her daily morning-meditation reading her book Co Dependent No More, 24 Hours, or her Daily Word App; Cindy's morning meditation involves a reading and prayer, she does not clear her mind but she does give herself a couple of minutes to have that spiritual moment. “Meditation helps to reduce stress at the most basic level,” says Jeff Cannon, author of The Simple Truth: Meditation for the Modern World. “At a deeper level, it leads to a happier, healthier, and more successful life."
Floss: Take two minutes to floss and you will help a lot more than your teeth. Flossing prevents a lot of health problems, “there are many studies that link gum disease to heart disease,” said Dr. Michelle Katz and Dr. Jeffrey Rappaport, creators of the chic Lavaan Dental Spa in Manhattan.

Neck and shoulder release: Dr. Frank Lipman, the physician-founder of Eleven Eleven Wellness Center, loves to prescribe a tennis ball massage for work- and workout-aholics. It prevents adhesions and pain in the neck and shoulders where most people have it. Lie on your back, knees up, and place two tennis balls side-by-side at the top of your shoulder blades. Lift your arms to the ceiling, then move them slowly toward the knees, then toward the wall behind you.
Hang from a stall bar. A popular technique associated with barre workouts is to hang from a stall bar. Natasha Attal, social media manager for Physique 57, says that two minutes of the stall bar can help reduce lower back pain and yield better posture.
