The Sumo Squat is a fantastic stretch because it stretches hamstrings, quads, calves and tendons in the lower leg, all in a gentle pose. It's also a strengthening position for your Glutes and Quad muscles!

It’s been a tough year but we have to keep looking forward....... and it has definitely made us appreciate how lucky we are to have amazing family / friends / clients who have supported us, the fact we still have a business to reopen and clients booked in and for that we are truly grateful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So here we are.... the end of November and just 4 weeks left in 2020! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Flexibility & Mobility is so important, especially now when we are spending more time in a seated position while working from home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you sit down in a flexed posture for long periods of time, the posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings) and core become inactive as they are not being used. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a while, your posture begins to adapt to this position. The shoulders start rounding, the back rounds, and the hips get fixed in that flexed posture.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This can start to have a negative effect on muscle balance and joints alignment, triggering pain, and increasing the risk of an injury or a flare-up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the key muscles affected can be the Piriformis which can mimic symptoms of sciatica and cause excruciating pain, affecting daily activities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one of my favourite stretches for the Piriformis

Eggs provide all of the nine essential amino acids (also known as the building blocks of protein), making them an effective food for maintaining, building and repairing muscle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT peeling them can be a workout in itself! Try this tip of adding a tsp of baking soda to the pan to help the shells fall right off

I don’t think I’ve ever wished time away as much as I have in 2020 - NYE is going to be a BIG party..... hopefully in a bar, with more than 6 people and no masks! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In a world of algorithms, hashtags, followers & likes - it’s easy to sometimes lose sight of the importance of human connections! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With that in mind, we are unplugging for the weekend so that we can scroll less and live more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See you on the other side!

How are your muscles and joints finding working from home during lockdown? Whether you’re propped up at a kitchen table or another temporary workstation, you may not have the same supportive setup that you would in an office. You may find that your shoulders, neck or back are hurting after long days spent sitting down awkwardly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is really important that you take some time to move / stretch throughout the day to prevent tightness, pain and also the risk of developing poor postural habits ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Join me over in our FB group later today where I will be showing you some stretches that you can do from your wfh station

I recently read an article claiming that phone users under coronavirus lockdown are reporting significant increases in the amount of time they are spending on their devices.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pair this with also watching Social Dilemma and I’ve really started to think about my phone use - has anyone else?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I became really conscious about how much more time I was spending endlessly scrolling and have been trying really hard to reduce it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve bought myself some new books to read and also download some podcasts and am trying to turn to these rather than a social media scroll.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you noticed an increase in your screen time during lockdown?
