Sit on your ass all day? 🪑 When we spend our days sitting, especially for a prolonged period of time, our hips can get tight and achy. My advice is to set a timer every 60 mins and step away from the desk, even if it is for 2-3 mins. ⏲️ Figure 4 rotations are a quick and easy way to get some good movement into your body. Give them a try and tag a friend who needs this! You're Welcome 🤙🏼 #hips #deskbound #flexibility #mobilitytraining #beginnerfitness #fitafter50

Between the holidays and finishing out the year’s goals, time gets even tighter in the fourth quarter. This month we’re diving into ways to save and manage your time (insert deep breath here!). 😌 Packing your day to the minute with endless tasks and appointments is setting yourself up for a lot of stress. Use daily and/or weekly gaps in your calendar for the unforeseen. Personally, I set aside Friday afternoons for quiet tasks and catch up. I also pad some of my tasks throughout the week to build in extra room. For example, I’ll block out half an hour for something I can do in 15 minutes, and I’ll use the balance to triage emails and other unforeseen things that pop up during the day. Having that “elasticity” in my schedule helps me get a lot accomplished but at a reasonable pace that I can sustain. Remember, business is a marathon, not a sprint! #stephanierising #therisingeffect #smallbusiness #businesscoaching https://lnkd.in/g7pWM4y6

Listen to today's podcast... We finally have a day off.  One that we have been looking forward to.  Only to be struck down with some kind of bug which makes us feel rotten. These symptoms can be a sign of leisure illness and they are often linked to stress caused by work overload and pushing ourselves too hard before taking time off. Sometimes it is not until we stop the ‘rollercoaster ride’ that our body responds, and we experience these flu or cold like symptoms. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Relaxation Day: Vacations are important to our health and well-being, so don’t wait for the ‘right’ time.  Make plans to use all of your vacation allotment, whether it be a day off, an extended weekend or a longer vacation period. Do not over-program your days off.  Look for activities that are relaxing and rejuvenating. Promote relaxation.  Try deep breathing, visualization, yoga or a massage.  Get involved in a hobby.  Try gardening, fishing, boating, or reading a book.  Reading something uplifting activates the same positive emotion center as experiencing a happy moment first-hand. Get out and Play. Play is important for all aspects of our lives, including creativity and relationships. When we play, we trigger a mix of endorphins that lift our spirits and the relationships that we form during play remind us that we are not alone in this world. Playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax us. If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know.

On October 20, 2023, I finally squatted seven plates — 675 pounds. This was the culmination of decades of lifting weights and 13 years of powerlifting. I accomplished this at age 45 as a lifetime drug-free lifter. While not obvious to others, lifting for me is primarily about pushing my limits and embracing new, increasingly positive stories about myself and my possibilities (personally and professionally). Tying the world’s best drug-tested raw squat in competition for my weight and age was not the focus of the thousands of hours I invested; it was the happy consequence of pursuing an activity I love. I appreciate the growing body of literature on doing hard things outside of work both to increase general life satisfaction and promote healthier perspectives — and more meaningful outcomes — on the job. Authors like Cath Bishop, Brad Stulberg, Steve Magness and others understand that athletic achievement is secondary to becoming a better human and helping others along the way. What activity might light the fire within for you in the coming weeks, months, and years? What books do you plan on reading to hone your focus and boost your resolve to get started?

Surround yourself with the right habitat and good habits will follow, starting at your feet. The workshop will address the importance of feet in everyday life, highlighting how limited joint range relates to compensations, poor posture, and injuries, and offer tips for restoring foot and hip functionality. #movement #balance #barefoot #amman #jordan

🏃♂️🌳 This morning, I took to the streets of my neighborhood for a refreshing road running session! 🏡✨ Running in familiar surroundings not only provides a convenient way to stay fit, but it also offers several incredible benefits: 1. **Community Connection:** Running in my neighborhood allows me to connect with neighbors and fellow runners, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. 2. **Mental Clarity:** There's something invigorating about the fresh air and familiar sights that clears the mind and boosts creativity and productivity. 3. **Physical Health:** Regular running improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and boosts overall fitness levels. 4. **Stress Relief:** It's a fantastic way to reduce stress and improve mental well-being, especially with the natural beauty of the surroundings adding to the experience. 5. **Consistency:** Proximity to home makes it easier to stick to a routine, ensuring that exercise becomes a regular part of my lifestyle. If you haven't already, I highly recommend lacing up your running shoes and hitting the road in your neighborhood. It's a simple yet powerful way to enhance both physical and mental health. See you on the streets! 🏃♀️👟 #Running #Fitness #Community #MentalHealth #HealthyLifestyle Morning run on AllTrails https://lnkd.in/dWAXkpAT

🏋️♂️More Niche examples: optimizing your back squat form? Here’s the thing: your coach might suggest squatting barefoot and no weight belt for a while. but if you go for a max lift and fail, and then put your lifters and weight belt on and get it... have you cheated? 🤔 I say no. you gained imporatnt mobility and awareness of your form in the process, and we should call it a win. 💪 The goal should be improving your form and kinesthetic awareness, not sticking rigidly to the “rules.” 🎯 So, if after going #NoGear for a while, if you end up relying on your gear when you max and it helps you lift heavier and feel more confident, then you’ve succeeded! 🎉 🎥 video description: bronwyn poses a hypothetical situation where someone works for one goal, but improves globally. the title says "Don't lie, you've dropped the bar too! 😅🏋️♂️" #SquatGoals #LiftingTechniques #StrengthTraining #FitnessJourney #Mobility
