Funtional training & Atomic habbits

 

Training .... many think it is only possible in a gym, with a machine, and its only training when you sweat, tired, fast movments, long sessions, many repeats, pains

 

and then its training... nothing of this is true. 

 

All movement are improving the circulation & strenght.

 

Walking for example is an excellent gym.

 

 

We can train our body so much more than we think when we know what are functional movements we can get creative, get so much more effect and use our time & daily movements so much more effectively and efficiently.

 

It´s getting fun from here. 

 

Imagine you get up from the bed... why not make a small session of abdominal movements, a long body stretch, a serie of facial movements/exercises, turn around flat on your belly and put up your arms sideways and arch the back, get up on arms and stretch the back... 2 minutes.

 

Now slowly get to the bathroom and say nice things to this person in the mirror, this person who brings you every where who makes it happen...

Brush your teeth, standing on one leg then on the other another exercise done this was stability/strenght/balance

 

  • TIP: Always works symmetrically if you do the left leg so many counts do the same for the right leg

 

Get up earlier every day 10 minutes and start to do a few yoga poses, put a mat ready so you just have to step up onto it...

 

Put the car a block away and make sure you have the time to slow-jog to the car.. . take the stairs up to the office and if the stairs are many push the elevator one floor below and take the one stairs...

Get up from your chair and push up on the side of the chair 8 times ... this done daily counts imagine 

 

A small example how small daily improvements add up:

8 x push ups with arms every workday = 8 x 5 = 40 pushups a week ...this in the month is 40 x 4 160 push ups----0 or 160? your body counts 

Every day count the efforts they call this atomic habbits

 

As a holistic physio I use to look how my client moves, what he or she does in daily life and how can we integrate exercises without a exercise schedule that most people don´t keep up. 

 

Example. My client is a elderly lady whe has pain. She is doing yoga she tells me. Okay lets se how you do the yoga. I notice she does it to quick to strenous and with certain impatience. i teach her how to move slow and explain that the yoga only works when it is done with patience, calmnes and precise. She starts to implement this and next session she is pain free.
