With the help of my fabulous sister, Rachel, also a pharmacist and qualified personal trainer, we wrote up a series of easy to follow, pocket size daily resistance trainings to help you feel more limber and lively!
Limber and Lively in 10!
10 days is enough time to press play on these video shorts to get your body up and away from your desk to implement these daily stretches and weight lifting exercises.
Sitting is the new smoking…
No- really. According to studies, prolonged sitting has been shown to increase all cause cardiovascular disease related mortality. Does this mean that we all have to be Olympians?
NO!
Strong not Skinny!
Many of us start a new exercise plan only to stop it a few days later. It’s no secret that gym memberships swell in January and February, only to see numbers decline precipitously after.
We get discouraged. The jeans we thought we’d fit into by Friday…? What’s the point? That restrictive ‘eating’ plan? It’s not sustainable, or enjoyable.
Instead of punishing ourselves with gruelling regimens and restrictive diets, try my 10 Day Use it Or Lose It moves playlist on Youtube. It’s all about building muscle, adding (not taking away) to our lives so that we can live them to their fullest every day. Life shouldn’t be a battle of endurance. I believe we all deserve to live joyfully! My new fabÜ SHROOMS JOINT-BONE-MUSCLE blend combines vitamins D & K with Reishi mushrooms, Glucosamine and Turmeric to support your journey!
- Focus on forming new habits. Make daily movement as much as habit brushing your teeth
- Focus on strength not size…
- Focus on small daily movements
- Focus on good sleep
- Focus on nourishing food
A Can-Do Attitude!
What we can do is incorporate daily, bite-sized activity. Easy moves, accessible at any time, anywhere!
We know that when we stop using our muscles through inactivity, we lose muscle tension and strength. Muscle loss means we cannot carry the load of life. Literally.
We need our muscles. We need to be strong to age well, no matter what our age. Muscles carry our bones- without them, we’d all be falling down!
The Right Time to Start Is NOW!
Invest now, reap the benefits later.
Your clothes will fit better & you’ll feel better.
Who knows- maybe you’ll be at the next Olympics after all?
