Mindfulness isn’t just for yoga. For one minute out of every five of your run or ride, take out your earbuds,

stop watching the TV, and instead focus on your breathing and footfalls or RPMs. This zen moment

will help you touch base if anything feels off, says Nora St John of Balanced Body in Sacramento,

California. Correct it and you’ll become a more efficient exerciser... and one who is injury free. #
