Practicing What We Preach 💪🏃♀️
At Fisher Family & Sport Chiropractic, we talk a lot about the importance of movement, strength, mobility, and taking care of your body!
I truly believe that if you are a healthcare provider and you're going to give advice about living a healthy, active lifestyle, you should be willing to practice what you preach.
Lunchtime workouts look different from day to day. Some days it's weight lifting, some days it's cardio, and some days it's simply getting something in.
Today, it was a 2-mile run around town. 🏃♀️💨
But here's the part that is just as important as the workout itself: RECOVERY!
Right now, I'm dealing with an old hip injury that, if I ignored it and continued to push through, could potentially sideline me for weeks. But that's exactly why I'm practicing what I preach: listening to my body, modifying when necessary, and putting just as much emphasis on recovery as I do on the workout itself.
Today, post-run recovery included some time in the massage chair and PEMF therapy with my MagnaWave. The massage chair helps with relaxation and those tired, worked muscles, while PEMF therapy helps support circulation and the body's inflammatory response, which can be especially beneficial when we're asking our bodies to recover from exercise, overuse, or injury.
(I also really need to see our fantastic massage therapist, Katey.LMT, ASAP when our schedules align! 🤣)
It's not about pushing through pain. It's about giving your body the support it needs so you can get back to doing what you love.
Remember, sometimes the difference between staying active and being sidelined isn't the workout you did ... it's what you did after it. Recovery isn't an extra. Recovery is part of the workout plan.
And yes, the last picture is what a lunchtime run in August looks like: hot, sweaty, and tired! 😂☀️
Move your body. Get stronger. Listen to your body. Recover well. And most importantly… practice what you preach. ❤️
.. And of course don't forget your regular chiropractic and massage appointments. 😊
(Also, if you wave to me when I'm running and I don't wave back please don't take it personally. I'm concentrating on not falling/tripping on these sidewalks in town and probably didn't see you!)
