True North Chiropractic

Some things can wait, while others cannot.
When it comes to your function and well-being, health is not something you should place on the back burner. That goes double for when you have others depending on you (such as kids, pets, or co-workers).
Let our office help keep you optimized, so that you can be there for others, as well as yourself.

Summer is that perfect time to go out of doors, pack a snack and explore. But what do you bring? Something healthy isn't always easy and what's easy might not hold up on the heat.

Or, does it?

Try a different approach by packing some nuts. Choose a nut you like, but don't love, so that you don't over-indulge (nuts are high-calorie), but also provide you energy throughout the day. For some extra fun, pick a raisin or cranberry for a little contrast.

From yesterday's post , we continue.
Fitness works best in the gym, but you can get a solid body-weight exercise routine going on if you're travelling, too.
You just need to get a little creative.
Full squats (or partial, depending on your mobility) is a great way to target the glutes and quads. Follow the guidelines for sets and reps, with the knowledge that you can add more sets and reps.

BONUS: Slow down the speed of your squats UP and DOWN (say, 2-3 seconds in each direction) to really target the muscles. It'll burn, but in the greatest way.

DOUBLE-BONUS: add pulses along the way to really sculpt those puppies.
