Give this wrist workout a go! Do it as part of your warmup before your workout or do the movements here and there over the course of the day. You don't have to do them all together. If you have any questions please ask. There is a description and short video for each exercise and stretch. Just click on the heading 'Wrist Workout' to see more. If there is a condition you would like me to address or certain bodyparts you want exercises or stretches for, please let me know.

Wouldn't you like to just sit and hold these?!

A Thursday funny for you!

These are some of the many reasons people enjoy having a chakra balance and tuning fork session with me. The deep relaxation it gives the body and the mind is only one of the many benefits. "You are a living energy field. Your body is composed of energy-producing particles, each of which is in constant motion. So, like everything and everyone else in the universe, you are vibrating and creating energy. The field of vibrational medicine, sometimes called energy medicineTrusted Source, seeks to use the vibrational energy generated by and around your body to optimize your health."

All of us at MetaFitness wish our wellness community far and wide a healthy and happy New Year 2021!

If nothing else, Covid has really shown us how to appreciate the life we had pre-Covid...a life we may have taken for granted until now. Enjoy the little things in life because one day you`ll look back and realize they were the big things. Kurt Vonnegut

Your risk for tendinitis also increases with age. Tendons lose health as we get older and become less able to handle the load, says Dr. Evan Flatow, an orthopedist at Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital in New York. Any activity that requires repetitive wrist turning or hand gripping, jumping or bending, pulling, pushing, or lifting can irritate the tendons. Some of the most common places to get the condition are in the shoulders, elbows, hands, wrists, knees, and ankles. Gardeners, carpenters, musicians, and other people whose work regularly places stress around the same tendons are at increased risk for developing tendinitis.

I had to share this amazing video Michele brought to my attention. Please take the time to watch it. It's the reason we look after ourselves, exercise and continue to be the best that we can be. You won't forget this video.

This is worth knowing about and doing. "Diaphragmatic breathing (also referred to as "slow abdominal breathing") is something you can do anytime and anywhere to instantly stimulate your vagus nerve and lower stress responses associated with "fight-or-flight" mechanisms. Deep breathing also improves heart rate variability (HRV), which is the measurement of variations within beat-to-beat intervals."

Once again, like every Thursday night, Glenda and I cleaned and disinfected MetaFitness. But unlike last Thursday night, this evening felt different. As I sat alone looking around the empty space I knew we wouldn't be coming back here anytime soon, not for at least one month, or two or more; no one really knows. Unlike last March, however, some major things are different. I am changed. I won't have as many tears or frightened sleepless nights. I won't be swallowing my pride a...nd racing around to ask for discounts on utilities and putting professional memberships on hold. All that has been done. I lived through it, albeit slightly bruised and battered on the inside, where strength and courage are formed. I won't be wondering if anyone will come back, as you have all shown me you will..... and you did it with kindness, understanding and friendship. So, thank you for supporting MetaFitness; for supporting me on my journey of helping everyone that steps through our doors to become the best that they can be, no matter what's happened to them or what they've been through. Thank you for being part of a wellness community that I envisioned where we build each other up while having fun, sharing and caring and pursuing our goals. This is a place where we not only strengthen our physical body, but we strengthen our sense of belonging, our hope, our resiliency, our energy and our whole being. I'm not afraid this time. I am strengthened too. See more
