Crocheting is one of my favorite pass times. I have been crocheting a few years now but only during the winter months. I've enjoyed making all sorts of tuques, scarves, blankets, gloves, socks, baskets and characters. Only now am I realizing I can make my own tops.... using my own pattern creations. I suppose I didn't think of it before because I simply wasn't ready. ... I love creating. How do you bring creativity in your life? Song? Dance? Paint? Draw? Write? Bake? Other? #hooks #creations #imagination #playtime #passion #passtime #crochet

Did you move today? When I go more than 2 days without movement I feel blah and often times my body starts to crack and pop. My go to is EssentricsTV on the days that I am not teaching. I used to add hooping to my day yet since summer ended .. I only hoop 2 to 3 days a week. ... I miss the warm weather where air would do my early morning Essentrics followed by hooping on our back deck. However... here is hoping for enough snow to go for regular snow shoeing adventure!!! @jennybertrand #healthylifestyle #maritimes #canada #healthyaging #stressrelief #wellness #health #moncton #DieppeNB #activelife #HoopersOver40 #flirtingwith50 #hooplovers #flow #practice #happy #fabover40hoopcommunity #fitover40 #NBhoopers #100daysofmovement #canadianhoopers #greatermonctonhoopers #myhoopjourney #HoopLoveCoach

Most of us tend to sit for many hours at a time. We work at our computer, slouching over a screen, watch our favourite show curled up in a chair and/or stand hunched over our phones as we scroll through our news feed, text messages, etc. We can re-teach the body to use the muscle chains required for proper posture through Neutral Elongation and Pulling Up techniques. To improve posture and support proper posture we need strong, flexile muscles. Every muscle of the spine, fr...om the smallest to the largest, need to be engaged for this. This is why the Pulling-Up technique works. When we Pull-Up we are engaging those exact muscles while both lengthening and strengthening them, unlocking and rebalancing our posture muscles. Pulling-Up is tiring at first. This is because bones are heavy, and it is the bones that we are lifting as we Pull Up. Over time, once the body gets used to it, you will find that it will be more tiring to slouch than to hold proper posture. Ask me about my Essentrics classes. Essentricswithnancy.com

Yesterdays workout in 'franglais' as I know many of you speak the language #moveeveryday Bill et moi avons tout ramassé et organisé nos déco de Noël hier. 3hrs de temps. J'ai encore fait un peu de 'purging' cette année pi organisé nos boîtes et 'tubs' de décor pour que tout soit facile à trouver. ( Down 3 tubs in 2 yrs -- I had LOTS of decorations and lights) Une "tub" avec tout pour décorer un gros arbre de Noël. Pi dedans une boîte ornements Nadia, une Alex, une Bill ...et Nancy, ainsi que lumières, étoile, tree skirt. Une autre 'tub' pour tout déco pour le petit arbre de Noël. Un que j'ai depuis mes 20s. Pi un autre pour mes bonhommes de neige et pères Noël. Les décoration skis et neige restent pour la saison hivernal.

Change is a constant in life. We live, experience, learn and evolve. As a business owner, my focus is in teaching Essentrics and writing wellness blog posts. I have stepped away as a hula hoop instructor. (For now) As I continue to learn and grow as a hooper, I will be sharing video clips and eventually... short hula hoop tutorials on instagram @nancyshimmy and on my youtube channel under: NancyShimmy... The Shimmies 'n Hoops Facebook page and @shimmiesnhoops will soon be deleted. Cheers to continued adventures. #healthylifestyle #maritimes #canada #healthyaging #stressrelief #wellness #health #moncton #DieppeNB #activelife #hooplife #HoopersOver40 #flirtingwith50 #HoopersOfInstagram #hooplovers #flow #dance #hoopeveryday #hoopfun #hooppractice #happy #fabover40hoopcommunity #hulahoop #fitover40 #NBhoopers #hoopersofcanada #greatermonctonhoopers #myhoopjourney #HoopLoveCoach
