Tell me truthfully, do you stretch? Not just before or after a workout, but in general, do you incorporate any type of stretching into your day?⁣ ⁣ If you aren’t now, I’m going to share with you 5 ways stretching can benefit your life beyond just being able to touch your toes (although that’s a good one😊).⁣ ⁣ We’ll start with my favorite pose, Malasana (Garland pose), because it’s particularly helpful to those with tight hips from cycling or running 🙌🏼 Holding this pose for 30 seconds each day can help you:⁣ ⁣ 1. Strengthen your lower back.⁣ ⁣ 2. Tone the abdominal muscles.⁣ ⁣ 3. Improve colon function to help with elimination.⁣ ⁣ 4. Open the hips and stretches the groin, hamstrings, ankles & back. ⁣ ⁣ 5. Release anxious or negative energy.⁣ ⁣ I can’t say it enough, the recovery is just as important as the work. Our bodies & minds need to stretch, repair, & recover in order to grow. ⁣ ⁣ Give this pose a try, start with 10 seconds and work your way up to a minute and see how your body responds! ⁣ ⁣ What’s your favorite stretch or pose to release stress & tension in your body?⁣ ⁣ 🧘🏻‍♀️⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fitmomstrongmom #fitmomgoals #fitmoms #strongmomma #momswhoworkout #fitmomof3 #motherhoodunplugged #newmom #newmommylife #workoutformom #mommasgotgoals #postpartumbody #postpartumfitness #momlifeisthebestlife #toddlermomlife ⁣#tiredmoms #realmotherhood #targetislife #momstress #girlmomlife #girlmomsrock #mommingsohard #busymomgetsfit #workingonmyfitness #fitmomjourney #lifewithtoddlers #momvibes #momswithgoals #realstagram (at Westlake, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYHZgtpEsO/?igshid=11bazon4syhar

If you follow me on Strava and wondered why the time varies so much from walk to walk. Meet Louise she is always on the lookout for natural healing and cannot resist a bush.

The hill! When you reach the top and you are hot, sweaty and out of breath, you feel on top of the world. Not because you completed a marathon run or won a million pounds but because every time you do the small things they all add up to one thing: success! Lovely walk with @cbrunson92 today. 🌄 Sun was out long enough to make it enjoyable. #fitmoms #fitmommy #strongmom #strongmomma #momswhoworkout #fitmomgoals #fitmominprogress #fitmomjourney #workingonmyfitness #activemom #activeliving #youcandoit #thesweatlife #exerciseroutine #exerciseoftheday #workoutroutine #fattofit #walkforhealth #friendsthatworkout #gethealthly #juststrong #hillclimb #stava #fitbit #ipreview via @preview.app (at Carmarthenshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHpAdLjAGR/?igshid=t2uke8wa3ifc

Another day, another walk. @beeinglou has done amazing 😍 not just the walk today but she has lost weight and got so much healthier in the last few weeks. Proud of you Louise! #fitmoms #fitmommy #strongmom #strongmomma #momswhoworkout #fitmomgoals #fitmominprogress #fitmomjourney #workingonmyfitness #activemom #activeliving #youcandoit #thesweatlife #exerciseroutine #exerciseoftheday #workoutroutine #fattofit #walkforhealth #friendsthatworkout #gethealthly #juststrong #hillclimb #stava #fitbit #ipreview via @preview.app (at Carmarthenshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_ENA5jQGA/?igshid=1xutrpr405mmm

What helps you to keep going? For me, friends, family and seeing results. Every time I get to the top of this hill and have encouraged another to take the journey, to see their joy on what they have achieved. Makes me feel on top of the world. We all face a challenge, everyday. What are you facing and what keeps you going? @cbrunson92 #fitmoms #fitmommy #strongmom #strongmomma #momswhoworkout #fitmomgoals #fitmominprogress #fitmomjourney #workingonmyfitness #activemom #activeliving #youcandoit #thesweatlife #exerciseroutine #exerciseoftheday #workoutroutine #fattofit #walkforhealth #friendsthatworkout #gethealthly #juststrong #hillclimb #stava #fitbit #ipreview via @preview.app (at Carmarthenshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD0q6Q5D1oW/?igshid=3g8yzkn6z3h1

It's time to get serious. 🏃‍♀️ When I first met Andy in 1998 I weighed only 9.5st (I am 5ft8 tall) and I still thought I was chubby. 🤦‍♀️ When I joined the police force in 2004, I became the fittest I'd ever been and I was roughly 10.5st (for my height this is actually my medically ideal weight), but I still felt fat. Between 2008 and 2012 I had three children. I suffered with depression and I was weighing in at about 11.5-12st. In order to improve my mental health I started my own dog walking business and it went well. I was walking about 4-5hrs a day and I was keeping my weight at about 11st. Then we moved to Suffolk, and we had the hardest 2 years of our married lives. It was brutal and nearly caused our marriage to fail. I comfort ate, we hardly went out, we knew no one and felt like we where in the middle of nowhere. Welcome in 2020 and Lockdown made me eat more out of boredom, then my mum was dying and I stress ate. Now I am at the heaviest I have ever been at over 13st. I actually don't know the exact weight because I refuse to stand on the scales. We don't have any full length mirrors in the house, and I hate seeing myself in photos or catching my reflexion in a window. My mum once told me that she wished she had exercised more. She learnt that exercise increases oxygen in the body, and oxygen fights the free radical cells that can turn into cancer. So.... 2020 listen up. You may have tries to kick me down physically and emotional, but I'm hitting back. One step at a time... I am claiming back my health, I am claiming back my body I am claiming back my mental health. ... and there's nothing you can do about it. 👊 . . . #fitmoms #fitmommy #strongmomma #fitmomgoals #fitmominspire #fitmomjourney #workingonmyfitness #athomefitness #getfit #movementculture #justdoit #fitnessroutine #fitnesslifestyle #strongbody #fitnesswomen #dreambig #activeliving #iwill #homeworkouts #noequipmentneeded #quarantinefitness #runlife #suffolkmums #fitmum #fitatforty #fitat40 #restart2020 #reclaimyourself #keepingitreal #defeatcancer https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyW82MHLPM/?igshid=1h3kea4mqn0lm
