Kari Saitowitz, The Fhitting Room
 

Kari Saitowitz is the founder of boutique New York fitness concept Fhitting Room. When the pandemic forced her locations to close, she started broadcasting classes online, limiting attendance to 24 participants to keep the community vibe. 

No equipment is necessary for the Fhitting Room workout, which is a high-intensity interval training workout designed to be safe and effective while offering more guidance than a standard group fitness class.

Each class of 24 participants is led by two certified trainers who correct form and offer modifications. Before founding Fhitting Room, Saitowitz was a marketing executive at Pepsi, where she learned about launching and building brands.

Asked for her favourite quote, Saitowitz references Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead: “The question is not who’s going to let me; it’s who’s going to stop me?”

How you can get a better sleep to be more rested
 

Having a tough time nodding off at night? Pandemic-related stress has many people tossing and turning. Here’s a checklist that will help you ensure you have the optimal nighttime routine to promote rest:

• Stick to a sleep schedule: go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
• Limit daytime naps. Be physically active every day.
• If insomnia is an issue, avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other chemicals that interfere with sleep.
• Use the bed only for sleeping or sex, and go to bed only when you’re sleepy.
• Use breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation to wind down.
