Exercise to Boost Your Energy & More...

JBird Fitness

I WANT MORE!!!

Yes, I am pointing at YOU!

I want more from you because…you deserve more. 

I touched upon this idea in last week’s blog but in the past 7 days it has really taken hold of my drive & desire to get you moving.

 

 

I started the “I workout because________” campaign because I want us to shift gears, stop think about how working out is going to change you physically and start embrace how much it can change you spiritually.

 

Listen, I am not the yogi sitting in the corner for hours on end, chanting another language and wearing all white in the hopes to cleanse myself. But I am about moving past the attachment I have to exercise only being for the sake of getting back into pre-baby jeans.

 

This month's theme at JBird Fitness has been transformation and it has come very clear to me that 2018 is about not only changing our body but changing how we look at exercise and connecting more deeply to how movement changes us emotionally.

 

My personal mission for the New Year is to have as much FUN possible with fitness as I can. For you it may be about using exercise as a tool to clear your thoughts and be more present in your day to day life. Or you could be searching for a way to feel more confident & sexy.

 

It’s all possible. 

 

It’s like a smorgasbord of emotional transformations sitting right in front of us and all we need to do is get up and move.

 

So enough talking and more moving. Here are three ways you can completely change your emotion state in minutes:

 

Now, get moving!!!!

Having Trouble Focusing?

Hone in on your center by doing Tree Pose. 
By clearing your thoughts to focus on balancing, you will disregard anything that is not important and re-center your priorities.

Tree Pose Yoga

Tree Pose How-to:

  • Step 1 Stand tall, shoulders back & down and the crown of your head reaching to the sky.
  • Step 2 Activate your right standing leg. Keep your hip bones level and pointed forward. Turn your left knee out and draw your left foot to the side of your shin or to your inner thigh, above your knee. Pressing your foot and thigh together strongly, press your left knee back, keeping your hips stable.
  • Step 3 Bring your palms to your heart in prayer. Lengthen your tailbone down and lift up through your torso. Stretch down through your leg. 
  • Step 4 After three to five breaths, release your arms and your left leg, bringing your foot back to the floor. Repeat all on the other side.
