Personal Trainer Austin Texas

Okay, guys, this one doesn’t apply to you so much, although you should take that fat wallet out of your back pocket when sitting; it’s bad for your low back and posture!

Okay, gals, to those of you who carry everything but the kitchen sink in your bag: STOP IT! :-) You do not need the full nine yards of makeup; just leave some stuff in your trunk. Where you are, your car is, most likely. Same for a fat wallet INSIDE your purse. When is the last time you cleaned that thing out anyway, that has at least six expired credit cards?  

If you MUST carry a 12 pound purse, do NOT put it on one shoulder. Even a 5 pound or 3 pound purse. Use the crossover body strap to balance the weight, or carry it under your arm. Worst case, use the shoulder strap but use the same arm, to support the bottom so your shoulder, spine and neck are not taking the load. Having tightness, pain, knots and aches in shoulder, neck, back and spine or hip? Look to that purse first thing, and lighten it up. Here is a Don’t and and Do picture, just for grins. Guys: Carry-on cases and computer cases; same rules. 

A site created to educate, inform, help and share information as part of a Fitness Lifestyle, and for people to understand the benefits of personal fitness trainers, and the expertise offered on the web and available to them by me, here in Austin, Texas.

I decided a while back to post something about stress (de-stressing) every Friday. Today, take time for YOU. Many of you (you know who you are) put yourselves at the bottom of the needs-to-take-care-of list, if you even make it onto the list.  As few as five minutes will do the trick. Take an extra long bathroom break; you’re alone (I presume) so just hang, and be. If arriving at destination via car, stay in the car, with soft tunes, or with just the silence, before jetting into the office, the store or your house. Just stop. Five minutes is what I am asking you all to take today. It will seem like 30 or more if you never do this. The benefits are many; the feeling afterward is so worth it. Quiet, lazy, calm-the-cerebral-chatter-and-relax time, just for you. Please give it a shot. Five minutes. 

Happy and Healthy Friday to you all,

Margo
