Consistency in times of Inconsistency

Consistency is the achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time. Consistency is also the way in which a substance holds together. Like when I only put half the flour in my chocolate chip cookies, the consistency is pretty sticky. Here is my remix of Rachel Hollis‘ Consistency talk during her Rise X Live virtual conference. You can check out my other posts, like this one, for other info from this conference. Intensity is not as important If you are working towards a goal, working on your habits or routines, or finding your …

Movement Snacks

You guys, I know I am always talking about exercise, but I can’t help it! It is so good for us. What if exercise could come in the form of a snack? Are movement snacks a real thing? Every week, I meet people who do not exercise nor have much of any physical activity in their lives. Typically, they have so many ailments and cannot move their bodies well enough for simple activities of daily living, let alone for their recreational activities. Now, this group of people are not just experiencing physical limitations such as pain, limited range of motion, …

Workouts of the Week, first edition.

For the past 2 months, I have been doing a challenge at work, Movement Monday. Patients would do this quick workout before, during, or after their appointment. With the pandemic and not having as many patients through our doors, the workouts have not been as exciting. So I am going to post workouts for the week on this blog and share it on our Facebook Group. My goal is to get more involvement and maybe some friendly competition. I will post a work out for each week day. Short, to the point, with focus on strength, endurance, balance, mobility, and/or …

Exercise should be the first step in lifestyle modifications for the prevention and management of chronic diseases. CrossFit has recently posted a video of Greg Glassman, “inventor” of CrossFit. In this video he discusses chronic diseases and the coronavirus. I don’t want to get to much into it right now as this is not he highlight of this post. But Greg is so passionate about what he does and what he “preaches”. It is definitely worth a listen. My favorite quote from …

Some are strength focused, some are cardio focused, and some are mixed. This is week 2’s content. And here …
