Lunges strengthen the ham strings which strengthen your back and improve your posture. Start with no weights, then move to 5lbs and add 5lbs each week and then eventually you want walking Lunges

Strengthen back and core, but also just be diligent about keeping it front of mind and much of it becomes habit.

Back and neck muscle strengthening! Don’t do it with weights initially, use therabands until you’re strong or you’ll make yourself worse.

NYC parents with kids less than 3 YOE:

SO and I are moving from a 1BD into a 2BD for more space. If we plan to have kids - what were some important criteria / nice to have that you looked for in a place? Our 1BD is close to 800 sq ft in Manhattan.

Examples:
Separate room for the kid (must have)
Outdoor place (our current apt has a huge private park - is this useful for babies / small kids)
Bathtub - heard it makes bath time easier
Doorman / elevator (must have for us)
