DANCE Vid

So – I had to find something to do between High Strength sets.  But I can’t be super active.. I gotta save up my strength, energy & focus for that next strong 1 rep set!

So – rather than look at my phone  (BAD!) or Strut my ego in the mirror- I dance!

Try it out- super great for your health on tons of levels – CLICK HERE to learn Science behind all this

Do a high strength set  1-5 reps of something that works a whole lotta muscles at once ( Push Ups, Pull ups, swings, Front squats, overhead press..)

then shake yo’ bootay for a good 2-3 mins.. don’t worry bout how you look- just get the feel of the beat in your headphones / around you.. and move with that.  It’s such great stuff!

Enjoy 🙂

PLAY Science

Get this super cool fact:

PLAY makes you smarter, leaner and less prone to depression. And it’s Totally Scientifically Proven!

Check out Dr. Stuart Brown’s TED Talk- on the necessity of PLAY for all Adults

https://www.ted.com/speakers/stuart_brown  

If you need a chuckle or an idea of how to put more play in your day… CLICK HERE to see what I do:)

(The leaner part.. scroll below vid for explanation )

So Doc Brown gave you all the goods on how play helps our mental health and intelligence.

But what about that fat burning part?  Well- Check this out!

Your brain is a huge calorie burner.  You turn that sucker on and you can torch fat.

That’s why SKILL based moves (kettlebell, martial arts, karate, boxing, yoga… stuff that makes you tune in and think)  create leaner and happier people!

Your brain is full of metabolically active tissue (due to densely packed mitochondria).  There are only 2 other organs that burn more calories..first your liver, then your heart!

When you play, you are creative, innovative.. turning your brain and body on!

Sooo… let your freak flag wave – be you.. play how you like:)

A  great month to do stuff that makes you feel FREE.

To me “free” means feeling released
(Real + Ease) + happy.

Trick is to keep in stuff that keeps you feeling strong and regret free, like…

playing with sidewalk chalk and dancing between strength sets.
Yup, those are things I totally do:)

Turns out lots of other humans love this stuff as well (my boyfriend + people that laugh WITH me at the gym)

PLAYFUL stuff is scientifically proven to makes us smarter, leaner & drops our risk of depression.
