Wake Up Call being the JBird Fitness theme for April resonated with me in an unexpected way.
I pride myself on sticking to a balanced fitness routine, making sure I’m not overdoing it in certain areas and always making room to fit cardio, strength and flexibility training into my schedule.
But I think I have been going a little overboard lately.
My go-to workouts for some time now have been spin, yoga and JBird Fitness (of course) but in the past 2 months HIIT (high intensity interval training) has piqued my interest again and, if you have been following along, Dance has taken back my heart.
On one hand, this is a great thing. With so many options my body will never get bored. But on the other hand, I feel like a scatter brain.
Don't get me wrong, it's important to be versatile but it is also important to find mastery in your movements. Mastery helps connect all the dots in the body, so you become efficient and confident.
This reminds me of a picture I posted on social media this past summer.
It's a visual reminder of how every move we make in one part of the body, effects the others, even the mind.
And this is a perfect connector between April's Wake Up Call theme into our new theme, Energy, for the month of May.
There are times in life when we need a wake up call to decide the type of energy we want to put out into the world.
I am shifting gears and focusing on dance because I miss the fluidity it brought to my movements, the way it honed my balancing skills and simply stated, it's FUN!!!
What about you? Do you feel like you are missing something in your workouts?
