#postexercise

food truck frenzy

Relaxation and stress-relief measures are one of the main components of lifestyle medicine: nutrition-exercise-sleep-stress reduction. So let’s take a short break and give ourselves some time 😊

Meow... I thought you said exercise was fun. Stretching is more fun! Can we skip directly to that part? No? Meow... #pilates #alegra #tuxedocat #sharingthemat #postexercise #stretch #ifmycatcouldtalk https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch-aku8svMd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

13+ hours of travel and a 20 minute run later... It was 12 degrees out, and it was awesome. #running #fitness #posttravel #postworkout #posttravelworkout #phonearmband #wirelessheadphones #sweaty #exercise #postexercise #thislife (at Kensington, New South Wales)

In the interest of #bodypositivity I want to share my progress photos. I'm not trying to reach a certain goal or a desired look. I'm not even documenting the journey. But earlier today I noticed a change in my shape. I've gained some muscle and cut down in certain areas too. When we post to social media is always the good side, the best picture, the most flattering angle. And sure, I did pick the better three of the 15 odd photos I took. But I am not wearing makeup, haven't fixed my hair, or found the nicest lighting. I'm sweaty after a tough gymnastics class and am very tired. I'm still quite round in places too. But my body is improving. I feel healthier and better. These may not be the best pics but I'm happy with my body, and I want to share that. Being strong and having muscle is not an acceptable look for women where I come from. It's not considered feminine. Because the ideal woman has to appeal to a man. Because so much of what we see is not real, and it makes us feel shit about ourselves. But look! I'm real and I am happy with my "not mainstream perfect" body. You should be too. Every body is beautiful. Every life is a journey. #celebrateyourself #bodybeautiful #woc #poc #strongwomen #strongwoman #postexercise #everybodyisbeautiful #thislife (at Kensington, New South Wales)

Just came across this on YouTube and had to post this. #stretching is important for any sport or #exercise BUT it’s important to do it right. I have seen some of the best trainers who talk about #humanbiomechanics #kiniseology #exercisescience make a mess of #postexercise static stretching. One of the main reasons we stretch is to allow your body to return to #homeostasis. After a workout, your body's main goal is to return to normal function. Stretching incorrectly defeats the purpose and might cause risk of injury. If Trainers want to practise #yogasana , request PLEASE learn the correct posture before having your client to practise. #paschimottasana needs open #hamstrings to facilitate forward tilt of pelvis, failing which the pelvis is unable to tilt forward causing undue stress on the #vertebraldisc causing #injury . You want to ensure you elongate your spine with proper #breathing encouraging #thoracicextension falling over your thighs. Chest on thigh is what I cue my students which puts your #spine in the safest position. #yogainjury #correctiveexercise #yogaforsports #yogaingym
