You can carry laundry easier by building a stronger back

3001Fitness • Oct 28, 2019

 

In health and fitness, there’s a large amount of fighting about programing. There are a million different templates and ideology. One thing almost all of these schools of thought have in common is the belief that you need to do some rowing. 


 

Wait ,so your saying I have to find a few other like- minded people and get in a boat in the water? 

I can’t swim, and I live in the northeast it is too cold. 

No worries that’s not the type of rowing we are talking about. Even though if you do row, there’s nothing wrong with that. Its a great sport, just not something easy to pick up in your free time. 

We are talking about doing pulling exercises and all the variations that come with it. 

 

This what we talking about. 

Why is pulling so important? 

Pulling can be argued on two sides of a coin. Here’s why are some super simple bullet points.  

  • It’ helps fight band posture. 
  • It can help improve and be a tremendous prehabit movement for neck pain. 
  • Having the shoulder blades pulled back puts you in a natural better position to breath. 
  • Depending on many things, but it can help take the stress off the lower back. Thus relieving some back pain. 

When you read those one by one, each is a good enough reason to do some pulling. That’s why here at CP we work on many different variations of pulling over a term of a program. 

This has shown to help make people stronger and improve on all the areas menetinoed before. 

What if i don’t have any of those issues mentioned above do i still need to pull? you don’t need to do anything you don’t want to here at CP, but we will make professional options. 

Getting a stronger upper back will allow you to enjoy a better life. When you have to carry some heavy bags, having a strong upper back can make that much easier. We all, unfortunately, have to do and carry laundry at some point. Imagine picking up that bag and walking around with a smile because it’s not hard to hold as you walk upstairs. 

Does this leave the questions of what could having a stronger back do for you to improve your life? Once you think of it, Click here and come in to find out how we can help get you.

Several weeks ago I asked you to send questions you have about nutrition, eating skills or body image and I got a bunch of great questions! Thank you!!! In this week’s video, we are covering a question that comes up a lot: What can I eat for lunch that:requires little to no prep, will keep me satisfied, and is not highly processed? Do you struggle with that midday break to eat lunch like me?? Many of my clients have come to me really at a loss for lunch specifically, because they haven’t made a plan, and they either grab handfuls of random things together, go through a drive thru, or skip it all together! Does that sound like you? Well, check out this week’s video to see my recommendations for how to make sure those lunches don’t thwart your progress to reaching your health goals. As always, we will start where you are!

Eating at home more than going out to eat is one way to make progress on your health and nutrition because it puts you in full control.

Are you a “perfectionist"? When you strive for perfection, you have good intentions. You want to take care of your health, feel your best, and live a long and happy life with loved ones. One way that perfectionism can show up in our health is through a fancy term known as cognitive distortion also known as all-or-nothing thinking. Striving for excellence can be a really wonderful thing! It means it is important to you to look after yourself! However, all or nothing thinking can also lead to disappointment, burnout, and self-criticism when we inevitably miss a day, or go “off plan”. When our focus is on getting a “perfect” outcome, we lose satisfaction and enjoyment along the way and lose sight of other measures of progress. Want to know one of the greatest predictors of long term success with any behavior change? FLEXIBILITY. Flexibility allows you to come as you are on your best day AND on your worst day. It fosters self-compassion, and helps you to keep moving forward. Check out this video below to find out more!
