Are your workouts working for you?
You’re putting in the time and effort to exercise to feel good, look good, and do well, but are hitting your goals? Are you honouring your body, mind, and soul? Do you feel good in your every day life? Do you enjoy being active? Take a moment to pause and consider if the way you are working out is really helping you move towards your all of your goals, promote longevity, and … feel good! Lots of workouts are tough … many are fun … but …
Not all workouts are created equal.
For the majority of you reading this post, you are training for life, not for competition. Working out might be work, but it must be safe, and it can also be fun and feel good! That is what keeps us interested and able to keep doing it!. We believe that variety is key to a balanced conditioning practice and if you are focusing on any one kind of movement/activity/exercise/sport, this can most certainly have a limiting effect on your overall performance and well-being … it can even compromise your health, functionality, and longevity. Many of the pain and chronic injuries that you experience are likely due to highly specialized movement and overuse. How about trying something new? Not a replacement for your current fitness routine, but something to add into day (without it taking time you don’t have)! Like with anything (breath, rest, eating), variety is key!
Choose to “stack” Exercise Snacks into your day … intermittent movement might just change your life.
We created Stack Workout Design, which uses “Exercise Snacks” (simple movement patterns that use your own body weight … no equipment needed – not even gym clothes!) to make you feel good! These bursts of easy-to-remember, feel-good movements are “stacked” right into your day. It won’t take much for you to start realizing the benefits and seeing and feeling the results from this way moving more … and in new ways. Best of all, Stacking is convenient … from your office to your kitchen, it can be done anywhere.
Exercise Snacks have immeasurable benefits … they can offset metabolic hibernation, elevate mood, improve focus, and reduce anxiety, balance your nervous system, cardiovascular conditioning, improve joint mobility, boost your Braintelligence, build power and strength, reduce pain and prevent overuse, reduce chance of injury, enhance attention, productivity, and focus, positively impacts your general health and longevity, and, of course, will enhance your Wellness Intelligence!
