Active Work Balance

Low calorie is not synonymous with healthier, better or superior. Calories are energy, and you need energy to stay alive, to move your body, and power your brain! Respect yourself, fuel your body well. 💪

Sitting down shouldn’t be demonised, so don’t be feeling guilty if your spending a lot of time at your desk or in the car. Try a few of these simple postures to counteract the negative postural effects of prolonged sitting.

✨BRIDGE: to open the chest, stretch the hip flexors and strengthen the glutes

✨BOAT: to strengthen the hip flexors

✨DEEP SQUAT: to open the hips, improve ankle mobility, increase pelvic and lower back stability

Don’t worry if they (like ours!) aren’t perfect, no long lasting changes happen quickly. Consistency and commitment to a lifestyle of movement is key.

Focus on the most important things.

3 reasons why you can’t stop eating:

😓 You were never physically hungry in the first place and food is being used to soothe another emotion

🍩 Chemical components in processed foods are increasing your hunger levels and turning off normal cues for satiety (“once you pop you can’t stop”!)

🦠 An imbalance in the gut microbiome is causing cravings for foods desired by the microbial populations - rather than you

Rather than beating yourself up, try tuning in to what might be going on underneath 🙂

“How are you?” May sound simple, but can be life changing to others, especially in 2020 given all the challenges we’ve all faced.
