Active Work Balance

✨RECOVERY✨

Your recovery is just as important as your training or workout and is often over-looked! Our bodies are continuously looking to go back to a state of balance after any form of stress. Recovery gadgets like massage guns and foam rollers are handy tools, but for the best way to facilitate getting your body back to your baseline of balance quickly we suggest prioritising the below.

1. SLEEP 😴- tissue damage and energy restoration will be maximised if you hit those sweet 7-9 hours.
2. NUTRITION 🥗- try and hit those basic macros and micros to repair tissues, fuel your body and sustain long term performance
3. BALANCED TRAINING 💪- a program designed well to provide varying levels of intensity ensures we don't burnout, impede recovery and subsequent performance gains.
4. STRESS MANAGEMENT 🙏- keep elevated chemicals and hormones at bay to ensure optimal performance and function

Low calorie is not synonymous with healthier, better or superior. Calories are energy, and you need energy to stay alive, to move your body, and power your brain! Respect yourself, fuel your body well. 💪

Focus on one thing you truly love and appreciate about your body. Prioritise one quality within you now that you are truly grateful for.

✨ MOBILITY ✨

Lower body mobility is key for improving range of motion, reducing the risk of injury through movement and counteracting some of the postural effects of desk-based work.

Pick 3-5 of these lower body mobility drills, give them a go every day this week and let us know how you feel.

Go for at least two sets, 5 reps each side. Enjoy 💪🏼

There are exactly 12 weeks left of the year. You can tell yourself that January 1st is the best time to start working on your goals, or you can use the next 84 days to start small and work on building new habits.

Small steps are easier to commit to, making it harder to lose momentum. And when you look back in 12 weeks you'll see how much they all add up and the distance you can cover.

Sitting down shouldn’t be demonised, so don’t be feeling guilty if your spending a lot of time at your desk or in the car. Try a few of these simple postures to counteract the negative postural effects of prolonged sitting.

✨BRIDGE: to open the chest, stretch the hip flexors and strengthen the glutes

✨BOAT: to strengthen the hip flexors

✨DEEP SQUAT: to open the hips, improve ankle mobility, increase pelvic and lower back stability

Don’t worry if they (like ours!) aren’t perfect, no long lasting changes happen quickly. Consistency and commitment to a lifestyle of movement is key.

3 reasons why you can’t stop eating:

😓 You were never physically hungry in the first place and food is being used to soothe another emotion

🍩 Chemical components in processed foods are increasing your hunger levels and turning off normal cues for satiety (“once you pop you can’t stop”!)

🦠 An imbalance in the gut microbiome is causing cravings for foods desired by the microbial populations - rather than you

Rather than beating yourself up, try tuning in to what might be going on underneath 🙂

Another cracking session with a super team across Isobar, BWM Dentsu and Dentsu all coming together to help sweat them through lockdown. A great workout but just as importantly a bit of fun and much valued interaction between all. Sessions happen virtually twice per week! 👊🏽
