Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year in advance

The basis of any good training program is small incremental increases in intensity or volume over time. Why? Well, because if you jumpstart ahead too quickly, you put yourself at risk of injury or overtraining. 

What does your training program look like at the moment? Hopefully there’s some foam rolling going on somewhere in it! Because if not, you’re seriously missing out on some major muscle boosting benefits. 

Although it doesn’t always feel like it, foam rolling itself doesn’t hurt. In fact, it is actually the trigger points that hurt, foam rolling merely releases them. So, remember, if a particular area is uncomfortable to focus on during foam rolling, it means you need to place even more emphasis on that area, not less! 

Monday Motivation:
Since we discussed goal setting last week, this week I thought I’d share the idea of SMART goals with you all. 

When setting your new health and fitness goals, don’t forget to make sure that they are SMART. What do I mean by that exactly? Well… 
S: specific 
M: measurable 
A: attainable 
R: relevant
T: time-bound 

Remember, having a timeline when it comes to goal progression and achievement is a great motivating factor! 

Sunday Quotes:
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford. 

Never underestimate the power your mind has over your physiology. A positive and motivated mindset can go a long way towards making your dream body come true! 

Make it a habit:
They say that it takes around three weeks to cement a new habit. So, how about foam rolling after every workout for the next three weeks? That way, it will begin to no longer feel like effort and rather second nature! 

PS: what’s your favorite benefit of foam rolling? Let us know by commenting below, we’d love to hear from you!

“Exercise should be regarded as a tribute to the heart.” – Gene Tunney 

It’s no secret that exercise benefits both your physical and mental health. 

So, let’s all exercise to take care of our bodies. Afterall, it is the only place we have to live! 

You say Slow Saturdays, I say rest day.

While regular exercise is known to improve one’s sleep, many individuals find their sleep being affected after a workout. This is because working out causes your body to release hormones, such as the stress hormone cortisol as well as adrenaline. These are two hormones that can lead to poor sleep.

This is just another great reason why a rest day could benefit your body, as it gives your body the time it needs to return your hormone production to normal.
