The Art of Flexibility and Stretching…
It’s important that everyone remembers to stretch and work on their muscles before and after a workout, no matter the intensity. Stretching helps get your muscles the shape that they wish to take and helps them recuperate after a long day. Your body feels so much better after a good stretch.
It’s important that when stretching your body, you stretch each portion of your body anywhere between 10-30 seconds. Any longer and you may hurt yourself, any shorter and you’re not allowing your body to fully stretch.
Pay attention to what your body is saying. Whenever you stretch, workout or do anything that requires movement you need to pay attention to how it feels. Making sure your body is in good working order is important and can make a difference when it comes to injuries and preventing them. Be mindful of the stretch, as Skip always says, and make sure that you’re breathing with your body and paying attention.
You are invited!

I often call Fit Physique the training of the future. It’s a perfect blend of body and mind manifested as freedom of motion and is drawn from traditional strength training, dancer’s conditioning and Pilates inspired movements with the goal of long lean toned body. No bulky muscles. Extra stretching geared for perfect posture and you’ll leave feeling like a work of art! You’ll love it.

The Shift’s Health & Fitness Tips
Try Some Ginger:
The volatile oils in ginger have long made it a useful herbal remedy for nasal and chest congestion. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over a 1-inch piece of peeled, grated ginger; steep for 10 minutes; and strain.
Add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the water and drink as needed.
Sniff Rosemary:
According to some research, catching a whiff of this aromatic herb may increase alertness and improve memory. To stay sharp, try smelling fresh rosemary or inhaling the scent of rosemary essential oil before a test or meeting.
Stretch Often:
If your back is in pain constantly, try and work on morning stretches or little cat stretches throughout the day. We love little stretches since they help align your back and ease the pain off of your muscles when you’ve been in one position all day.
Find a Workout That Works for You:
No matter what you want to try, whether it’s Piloxing, Yoga, Pilates, Kick Boxing or Running, there’s something for everyone. We’re not all going to love jogging or cycling, but we do have to learn to love to move. When you get moving there are so many amazing things that happen: your mood is better, your eating habits change and your life begins to fall into place when you feel good. Don’t take this lightly, everything can change if you allow it.
This weekend on Evan Kleiman KCRW’s show “Good Food”, Evan’s guest Dr. Robert Lustig shares how sugar has infiltrated every aspect of our food production and how a shift away from “FAT Free” has accelerated this phenomenon. Click Here to listen.
Dr. Lustig is also the author of Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity and Disease and is also prominently featured in the new documentary Fed Up, a powerful film about America’s obesity epidemic directed by Stephanie Soechtig and co-produced by Katie Couric and Laurie

The other day someone asked me if I’m a believer of rubbing creams and gels after a workout. I said Yes! After a full day filled with tough classes I reach for Sombra Warm Therapy Natural Relieving. It is my “Go To” gel to soothe those aches and pains after a hard day teaching multiple classes. It’s also a great natural alternative to vapo-rubs and chemical-laden pain creams & gels that fill the aisles at your local drug store. I’m not a sponsor nor do I profit from sharing about Sombra. It works and that’s the truth Ruth 🙂
