The Perfect Program. Period.


The perfect program for runners. The perfect program for those seeking strength and flexibility. The perfect program for those needing low-impact (NO-impact) exercise. (It's like yoga, only better.)

The perfect program. Period.

Our online accountability and support group starts tomorrow. There's still time to join us!

Focusing on Body AND Mind


If you follow me regularly, you know I hold free online challenge groups each month. We focus on basic fitness moves or full fitness programs. Sometimes we just focus on defining and reaching our goals. I love running all of these groups, but I am particularly excited about the two groups I'm running this July.

Mind


I am a book junkie. And since becoming a Beachbody Coach, I have become a Personal Development book junkie. I can't even begin to explain all of the powerful ways that reading these books has changed my life. And often the information contained in their pages is not revolutionary. Most of it is really just common sense. But they are lessons and concepts that most of us, despite the very basic common sense behind them, do not apply in our daily lives. These books have a great power to change.


In July, we'll get started on Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Click on the picture below to get started.



Body



I am also a yoga junkie. I LOVE yoga. So, I simply cannot wait for the release of Chalene Johnson's new program, PiYo. PiYo combines Pilates and Yoga and so much more for a phenomenal workout that will help you not only increase your strength, but also your flexibility. With it's low-impact design and modifications built in, it is perfect for all fitness levels. This is also HUGE for someone like me who loves to run and strength train. Even better? This program is low-cost. You can get this 60-day program for less than 2 months at the gym.

Stretch Yourself

Do you stretch regularly?

Do you know how and why and when to stretch?

According to the Mayo Clinic (2014), stretching helps you improve athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury.

It also feels really good.

A few tips:

  • Stretch warm muscles - I stretch after every fitness routine or run and also in the late afternoon or evening when I've been moving throughout the day and my muscles are already warmed up.
  • Stretch for tension, not pain - I love stretching. It feels good. It shouldn't hurt. It's not a competition. Don't stretch to the point of pain. Stretch to the point of tension. That's how you gradually increase flexibility.
  • Stretch specific to your activity - When I run, I stretch my calves, quads, and hamstrings. Our monthly challenge group is doing an arm challenge this month. So my focus is stretching my arms and rotator cuffs. 
  • Stretch regularly - Keep doing it and you will see increased flexibility and less muscle pain.
  • Stretch fluidly - Consider trying gentle movement activities like yoga or Tai Cheng as part of your stretching. (I haven't mentioned yoga in a few posts, so you knew it was coming.)
