Welcome to The Good Life

Meet your new favorite wellness guide. No Images? Click here       Dear readers, You're on the road to The Good Life, the new and improved daily newsletter from the HuffPost Life team. On Mondays, we'll focus on wellness, and I'll bring you the best health and fitness tips, inspiration and stories right to your inbox.  “Wellness” has become a buzzword over the last few years, with self-proclaimed gurus suggesting sometimes questionable ideas to get your body and mind in shape. (Jade eggs, anyone? How about eating clay?) You won’t find any of that here. We’re taking back the term by giving you real advice on how to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Particularly in this moment where life is just too. damn. exhausting. I’ll give you a peek into how I’m prioritizing my health or self-care each week. (Fair warning: I’ll probably have a few slip ups. Health editors are human, too.) The newsletter will also feature curated workout playlists you’ll be dying to add to your rotation. I’ll also have exclusive interviews with celebrities and people who inspire us on how they take care of themselves. You’ll also get a dose of inspiration with encouraging Instagrams and quotes, as well as general advice. And since we’re on this journey to a healthier and happier life together, let’s keep in touch: Follow me on Twitter or Instagram. Here’s to a new mission of improving our whole selves — because we deserve it.

This week, HuffPost’s Senior Wellness Editor Lindsay Holmes shares what she listens to when she’s breaking a sweat. I recently got into barre and — despite how awkward I look trying to do pliés — I’ve been loving it as a strength workout. But it’s unrealistic to take these classes every day (for my body and my wallet), so I supplement it with cardio in the gym. That requires some good tunes. Dive in to my workout playlist here.
