Exercise Update-date
This week I have been totally slacking! I have trained twice
and did yoga three times – one class, one private session, and once on my own.
Although this is more than most people it isa lot less movement then my body is
accustomed to!
Recently Dr. Joseph Mercola has had some great articles on
foam rolling and body weight exercises found at www.mercola.com
I highly encourage you to visit his webpage! A regular foam rolling routine is
a huge part of keeping your body active and moving. Foam rolling should be part of your warm-up
and post workout stretching routines.
There are so many body weight exercises like squats and
proper pushups that can be performed easily at home. If you are motivated enough
to work out on your own I advise to at least get a consultation with a personal
trainer and workout with them a few times. This will teach you the basics of
proper form for simple exercises like squats. Learning how to hinge from the
hip is critical for so many exercises but because of modern society so many people
are spending all day sitting. The seated
position leads to many problems like weight gain, upper cross syndrome, tight
shoulders, and overall poor health. Because of our environments’ and lifestyle
choices we have lost simple primal movements like how to squat. A trainer can
help you with these movements so at least if you are working out on your own,
you are being safe.
