Wellness Wednesday:
Hellooooo WNYMMA community! Coach Hanna here with your weekly dose of mindful goodness serving you a Movement Moment 🙂
First off… what classes have you been able to attend this week at the gym?! Comment below! We love to hear from you!
Secondly… speaking of gym life, how can we max out our work out?
For those of us with an able body and like to exercise, we all have our own routines when it comes to how we go about our workouts 🙂
Many of us have our workouts focused and centered around maximizing the benefits while making it enjoyable!
Therefore, here are FOUR tips to keep in mind the next time you hit up a workout session 🙂
1) Take advantage of tunes. Music is the driving force of a workout and dictates the speed at which you move. Regardless of the mood one may be in when starting the workout, music hits the reset button of time and space putting a smile on the face!
2) Get that quality rest. No amount of time spent exercising makes up for not-so-great habits outside of one’s workouts. When we aren’t getting that quality rest, it affects our whole body including hormone function. If our hormones are out of balance, our energy levels are lower. Rest up to get those quality energy and strength levels.
3) Honor recovery time. How one recovers is just as important as the workout. Quality recovery time increases the effects of a good workout. Recovery allows the body to replenish energy stores and repair damaged tissues which is super necessary!
4) Be gentle with the workout journey. Stay in tuned with your physical and emotional body’s needs. Take on your exercise routines intuitively day by day depending on where you’re at.
Intuitively is a synonym for instinctively. Our intuition is that “gut feeling” we experience when we make decisions, interact with others etc. This feeling helps us when it comes to navigating through life 🙂
Point number THREE discussed honoring recovery time. Attached below is my super favorite yoga sequence to flow with when my muscles are really feeling those aches! Gentle and works magic. I hope you enjoy it just as much.
Thanks so much for tuning in to this week’s serving of Wellness Wednesday! And if you got this far in the article … well done to learning something new! The learning in life never ceases and that’s what makes it so interesting 🙂
In Coach Corey’s previous video, he showed a 4 and 4 striking counter-striking drill. This week, we’ve got the follow-up: a 4 and 4 slip drill that builds off the earlier 4 and 4 drill.
If you watched Nyal’s last video, you already know how to tie a basic square knot and you’re ready for something a little fancier. This week, Nyal shares his favorite knot. It’s classy, classic, and – best of all – nice and easy. Stay tuned for next week’s part 3 follow-up: the super knot.
