Busy or Lazy?
Call me busy and multi-tasker. Or call me lazy. Either way, I admit that I have rarely included an exercise regimen in my life. I will go through spurts of time when I walk, bike, do yoga or pilates, but I rarely last beyond a week or two. It's easy to find excuses not to fit in the half hour to exercise every day.
To counter-balance my excuses I justify my lack of exercise by telling myself that I include exercise in my everyday life. I use my bike as transportation. I run up and down the stairs to get supplies from the storage room. I don't look for the closest parking stall. I garden. I clean my house. And I add extra movement into my every day life.

Move - It is Good for You!
I am constantly studying about the body to help me be a better massage therapist. There is a lot of research showing that movement is healing. We don't need to be a tri-athlete to be healthy. We simply need to move more! When we move, lymph flow and circulation increase, fascial adhesions are prevented or decreased, muscles are strengthened, and many other benefits.
In future posts I will share simple ways that I add movement into my life. Please share with me how you fit movement into your life!

Brushing Teeth
Silly but simple - when I brush my teeth, I do a yoga pose. Usually tree pose. I read somewhere that balancing on one foot is good for your brain. Who knows if it's true, but I figure that while I brush my teeth I may as well ward off Alzheimer's at the same time.
