So we've shared a little bit on here before about what we do for exercise & to keep our body moving. We thought it might be fun to give a good break down on here of our favorite (can't live without) items for our fitness routine & even share with you some tips & tricks to get your body moving.
Let us start out by saying that we are no fitness guru's and that up until college (maybe a little into college), that our "fitness routine" involved soccer, competitive cheer & coaching (Marc) or softball/volleyball (Barb).
One thing I’ve learned from this broken elbow is how much I CRAVE movement. Post op, I was lucky to walk around the house much. Then I slowly worked my way up to a short walk with my husband. Then longer walks with our dogs. Lately I’ve even braved some miles on a bike.
While I can’t lift weights or do HIIT training like I’m used to, I still find a way to move my body. This post is sharing a few of my trusty sidekicks here lately as I work back up to my “normal” workout routine.
• Baby weights & bands for a little resistance
• Breathe Again Roller on my chest before a workout
• AirPods to keep me focused
• Thieves Hans Purifier to kill all the germs
• Sneaks & a Scrunchie because we’re all more motivated to do something when we look good/feel good while doing it
• Deep Relief Roller because that soreness is inevitable
During this time where you might have more time than normal, take a family walk or do a little stretching/yoga to ground yourself. Your body needs to move & it’ll be thankful you got up from your desk chair to take care of it. Work will still be there. Take care of yourself, boo.
How are you moving your body today?
XOXO,
Marc & Barb
