Happy New Year DBP friends! A common resolution for all of us is getting more hours of sleep! 😴 The first step to getting a good night’s sleep is giving your brain time to wind down.
-Part A) Breathing: Lie on your back on a full length foam roller and take 3 full breaths letting your chest and belly rise and fall. Allow your bones to be heavy.
-Part B) Arm Circles: Cross your arms over your chest like you're giving yourself a hug. Then take both arms up overhead like you’re taking off your shirt. Exhale as you bring your arms wide through a snow angel down to your hips. Repeat. After a few rounds, reverse the direction of your arms.
-Part C) Cactus:🌵 Make a cactus, goal posts or “stick’em up” position with your arms and try to relax them towards the ground. Breathe and gently rock side to side to feel your chest open.
Travel tip: Don’t have a foam roller? Supplement by rolling up a towel. . . .

Let's talk belly and breath. People seem to have heard that a strong core is an important piece of preventing back pain. That’s true, but you don’t have to be able to do a plank 💪🏻 or pushups in order to work on your core and that’s important to know too because like posture, your core support or strength effects other internal systems in your body. Doing specific exercises to work on your breath is important for calming the mind too. 💆🏼‍♀️ Stress manifests itself psychologically as well as physically. 10 times out of 10 people with psychological stress issues are literally gripping their bodies and holding themselves. They have stopped knowing how to really relax, how to breathe. Conversely, the physical stress or pain creates psychological stress. For many people it can be hard not to get trapped in a cycle bouncing back and forth between the two. Do you catch yourself holding your breath a lot? 🙊. . .

Trips, falls, and broken bones...they become more of a concern the older we get so it makes sense that balance is the number one concern of maturing adults, seniors, and elderly when it comes to their bodies.

Being able to work on balance as well as build strength, flexibility, and coordination in a safe, non-straining way is of utmost importance. When you work in this way on your body, you’re also working on coordination of your mind *with* your body which is a benefit for your cognitive function as well as physical.
And yes, progress can be made whether you're 55 or 85. Avoiding setbacks is key and the old adage is true: slow and steady wins the race. . . .

It’s so important to be able to move your body for whatever kind of fitness you want. Barre classes are very popular for body toning but cues are often misinterpreted in a class setting, despite the teacher’s best intentions. In addition to helping our clients improve their overall body look and function, our one on one style sessions allow us to help teach better body mechanics to whatever your preferred activity is so you can get out of pain and back to full on fitness.

A hard thing about the fitness industry is the stigma that you have to be a certain level of fit to even get started. But starting from where you are is the best way to achieve results. Building strength gradually in a way that’s healthy for your body, having clarity of form, and developing consistency of safe and strategic routine are the most important building blocks to your body getting fit without setbacks, and getting you to truly reach your goals. You are enough. . . .

The 3 essential factors in reaching our goals efficiently and effectively are set up, progression, and mechanics. Safety and form are more important than the gymnastics of the exercise. The difference between scary and possible is having someone who is able to not just show you the way but guide you to your destination.
