Wellness Wednesday: Movement Moment

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?

Get the most out of your workout!

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 🙂

Four tips to max out your 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.

What does intuitively mean?

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 🙂

Yoga for sore muscles!

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 🙂

Mindfulness Moment: Recognition

Good day beautiful people of WNYMMA!

This is Coach Hanna bringing you this week’s Mindfulness Moment 🙂

This Mindfulness Moment is the beginning of a weekly dose of conscious goodness for your mind, body and spirit! Each week will host a theme shedding light upon topics such as guided meditations, feel good exercises, life hacking tips and tricks etc!

The theme for this week is: Recognition

Coming into this new decade of 2020, a lot of us have resolutions on our mind! It is engrained in us that each year brings about a time for reflection on what we’d like to address in our lives whether that be internally or externally.

I am here to shed light upon the importance of taking a moment to sit with who you are and recognize where you are at. Resolutions are all about future goals and what we can do for ourselves in a later point in time, but what can you do for yourself now?

Give your Self the permission to recognize how you feel. And not how you think you SHOULD feel, but how you REALLY feel. Letting the voices of the outside world quiet for a second… what’s going on for you? While feeling what comes up, be gentle. Be gentle with your Self and what the moment brings forth.

It is so important to give ourselves the space and time, even just a minute, to gather our feelings and recognize what is going on within us.

It is okay 🙂

To help you further quiet the outside chatter and tune in to what’s happening within you, I have attached a short guided meditation that focuses on breathing to help you along with recognizing where you’re at.

This new year, be sure to take care of YOU in any way that you can because the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the relationship with your Self.

Go well my friends! May this week hold you favorably in every regard 🙂

Tune in next week and may the force be with you!
