Do you have a hard time sticking to your health and fitness goals? Lifestyle expert Bahar Takhtehchian shares two new resources that'll help you--and your family-- reach your goals, even if you only have seven minutes a day to workout.
Register on HealthyEssentials.com and you've basically signed up for a personal health and wellness coach. "Created by Johnson & Johnson, this site has some great tips and tools on how to keep your and your family healthy. Plus, they've teamed up with Walgreens Balance Rewards to incentive you to get healthy," says Takhtehchian. Whether you're trying to lose weight, exercise, quit smoking, or just boost your overall health, not only can you track your progress to reach your goals, but you'll also earn extra points. "They'll even reward you for small achievements. So, let's say you're going running, cycling or walking, you'll get 20 points for every mile recorded. You'll also get 250 points when you set your first goal," explains Takhtehchian. Another bonus: You'll find great coupons from popular Johnson & Johnson brands like Listerine, Johnson and Johnson, and Neutrogena. "This is a great tool, so certainly take advantage of it!" advises Takhtehchian.
2. The Johnson & Johnson 7 Minute Workout App

Designed by Chris Jordan, Director of Exercise Physiology at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, the workout has helped over 1.3 million people get the most out of every minute. "This is great for people who don't have a lot of time. It's fast. It's simple. You can workout anywhere. You're going to get 72 exercises and 22 workouts at multiple intensity levels," explains Takhtehchian. "Best of all, you don't need any special equipment, and you can track your activity to earn more Walgreens Balance Rewards points when you connect to the app. So this is another fantastic way for you to stay active and moving!" Download it from Google Play, iTunes --and you can even get it on your new Apple Watch.
