Our priority is to make sure you are comfortable using your technology to help you stay healthier, more engaged and connected. Here are some tips we’ve compiled on the topics of health and wellness:

1. Explore more fitness online.

Lots of studios started offering online classes during the pandemic. Check out your local yoga and fitness studios or join SilverSneakers. They offer a wide variety of workouts that cover everything from strength to balance to agility. Choose from on-demand videos or join a live class.

There are many apps and websites you can use to order medication and remind you to take your pills. Some of the most popular include: Express Scripts ( iPhone | Android) acts as a pill reminder app and pharmacy all in one. Not only can you set daily medication reminders, but you can also order refills directly in the app if your health insurance has the Express Scripts benefit plan. This makes it easy to track and order your prescriptions all in one place.
