RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM FOCUSED AROUND OUR 5 HEALTH FACTORS TO THRIVE: EAT, SLEEP, TRAIN, THINK, CONNECT!

MOBILITY

Surviving the Workplace: Move Every Hour You Have to Sit

By: Brandon Massie

Tips: Use Your Tech: Set reminders on your phone or on a google calendar to ensure you are not sitting for too long. Remember, your body is always adapting to the positions you are putting it through. Move it or lose it!

Further Reading: Deskbound by Dr. Kelly Starrett is a great resource for anyone who works in the office, or is required to sit for prolonged periods of time during the day

Each day, be mindful of how much you are sitting. Get up every 60-90 minutes and move. This is the goal. Later in the day, you can hit some of the corrective exercises discussed in the video.

Challenge – Complete the following stretches for 2 min per side, per position 4-5 Days this week: Couch & Hip Capsule (modified pigeon)

EAT

Beverages: How They Affect Your Overall Goals

By: Brandon Massie

Tips:
Coffee/Caffeine – limit to the AM. Switch out sugar for small amounts of quality fat: Coconut milk, Almond milk, grass-fed butter

Soda/Juice – Try trading this out for something without sugar. Water with Lemon/lime is a good start, but if you still crave the carbonation: try sparkling water(La Croixé), or something sweetened with Stevia instead of sugar(Zevia)

Water – Drink before you get thirsty, if you are sweating a lot in the gym, adding electrolytes(sea salt) helps you stay hydrated without over hydrated. Another way to flavor your water and get electrolytes at the same time is by adding things like Nuun

Challenge – Make better beverage choices to stabilize energy levels throughout the day, recover adrenals, and improve quality of sleep
