Restore Human Calgary

Wendy reached out to me after several months of following @restorehumancalgary on Instagram. She and I had done in-home personal training several years prior, but now hold sessions via FaceTime as she is in BC and I’m in Alberta. Wendy and her story are the embodiment of the Restore Human ACHE model. Check out Wendy’s success story here! https://www.restorehuman.com/fe/perseverance-and-resilience

Your brain is listening to you ALL OF THE TIME!!! Check in and hear what’s really going in your brain. What are you thinking about? Is it a positive thought? Is it productive? Are you making yourself depressed or anxious by obsessing over something in the past or future? Or are you terrorizing yourself over things that haven’t happened and probably never will happen? Negative thinking creates neural pathways in your brain that can be difficult to overcome. Here are 3 way...s to try: 1 Listen to what you’re saying to yourself. Is it positive or negative? 2 Challenge what you’re saying. Is there any evidence for what I’m thinking? What would I say if my best friend were in a similar situation? Can I do anything to change what I’m feeling bad about? 3 Change your self talk. Create a list of positive things about yourself. Choose one to play like a broken record to drown out the noise of negative self talk. It can be as simple as I love my cats! I love my cats! I love my cats! It will never harm you to think positively, but it could harm you if you continue to let negative thinking persist. Self talk can be a determining factor of your health and success.

#Repost @restorehuman with @make_repost Hi Restorers. Here’s a quick little shoulder movement snack for all you desk dwellers. Give it a try and share it with a friend who could use it.

1 Live a life in balance. What does that look like? Consistent quality sleep (7-9 hrs). Follow a healthy eating plan that works for you. Manage stress vs rest ratio at work, home and relationships. ... 2 Follow a smart, ever evolving fitness programming. How do they do that? Scheduled and planned workouts with a focus on continuously increasing metrics - no matter where their baseline starts. Invest in a Restore Human movement practitioner, like say....me! They take out the guesswork or SMU and we zoom in on their specific needs. Commit, commit, commit! 3 Engage in supporting movement practices. What are those? Get your steps in. Go for a walk! Mobility work, like joint circles, at least three times a week. Change their work and/or homes into movement friendly spaces.

Hello Restorers. Today’s movement snack focuses on exploring the ranges of motion of your knees and ankles. Give it a try if you’ve been feeling particularly tight or if you just finished a run or a long walk. And remember, share it with a friend who needs it.
