5 Goals for 2019

New Year New View of Yourself

Kick off New Year’s fitness goals for yourself and clients with a healthy body image in mind. Many people set new years goals like, “I’m going to lose 20 pounds, I’m going to get six pack abs, I’m going to fit into a Size 2 etc.”

While setting goals that lead to better physical health aren’t necessarily bad, they can be detrimental to mental health and body image if there isn’t a balance.

Integrate some of these intentions into incoming new year resolutions to cultivate balance.

You can identify and offset the deleterious effects of sitting by understanding the muscles and mechanics involved with upper and lower crossed syndrome.

 

circulatory and lymphatic system

Lymphatic System Logistics for Exercise

The lymphatic system is tied to the optimal functioning of almost every aspect of the human body. It plays a role in injury and muscle soreness. It has a function for tissue regeneration, mental concentration, fluid regulation and warrants significant attention in the cancer population.
