As a Premier Protein ambassador, each month I’ll be sharing my goals with you, what I’m hoping to accomplish as the extra X in my month. In January I talked about going through the Group Fitness Instructor program with AFAA. How am I doing? I’ve started the certification and am making strides to becoming certified. It’s a multi-month process so it will continue to be a part of my schedule. This month I’ll add a new goal to the mix.
For February, my goal is to better integrate stretching and yoga into my fitness routine. Rushing to and from the gym, I often neglect a proper warm up, cool down and stretch session, even though I know these are so important to my health and wellness. Soon I’ll start training for upcoming races (more on that later) and to avoid injury along the way, stretching is a must.
As for yoga, I have a love/hate relationship with it. I know there are so many benefits and I always feel good when I take it, but it’s never a priority workout. And it should be. Benefits of yoga: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength, good for your posture, increases blood flow, drops your blood pressure, helps you focus and relaxes your system (the list goes on…). Recently I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and even a little stressed out. I’ve always prided myself on not letting things stress me out, but I’m starting to let stress get to me (for starters, how does one plan a wedding?!). I think yoga would do me some good this month.
What are your February goals? Leave a message and let me know!
