Pillar #4 🌬
It’s time to MOVE IT 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏽
The final pillar! It’s what makes us feel ALIVE 🔥 Movement can comprise of many different intensities & levels. Below are 5 simple ways to make the most out of your movement every single day:
Walk the walk:
As much as you can, choose walking as your main transportation method. Park further away from work, walk to see friends or family, have walking meetings or have phone calls while walking. Not only do you get to move, but you get your in too ☀️
Play time:
Whether you’re young or old -you decide what you are - there’s always time to play & have fun! Play time can be in the form of playing in a team sport or even just going out & having a kick with the kids. It can be as advanced as trying to do handstands or cartwheels or as simple as having a kick of the footy. Not only do you get to move your body & keep your brain on its toes, but you’re outside again - more vitamin D!!
Become a master:
Every day, practice a skill. It can be as simple as wanting to be better at push-ups. Every time you attempt your push-ups, try to progress from a negative push up to a raised eventually going all the way down to the floor. Why? Strong people don’t die that easily. Also, get your practice done outside for some more vitamin D 😉
LSD…?:
Long slow distance is a proven benefit for overall mental & aerobic wellbeing. Once a week/fortnight/month you do something that requires a bit of an endurance effort. It can be a 10+ km walk, a 2 hour ride, 60 minute run or long swim. Anything that is a bit daunting but take your time doing it. And guess what?! More vitamin D!!!
Challenges:
Have 1 big challenge every year, something you can only do if you prepare & train for it. It doesn’t have to be an Ironman or that length but it could be a long walk, ride, run or swim. The point is you need to prepare & practice so get organised, get outside to train & soak up the sun!
