Feeling stiff or sluggish?

Hi everyone,

As the weather gets cooler (we lit our first fire last night!) it's easy to start to feel a bit more stiff or sluggish so it's a good time to think about how we are going to keep our movement practices going.  If you struggle with the cooler weather have a think about "What do I need to make my movement practices easier in the cold?".  For example you might need to:

• Buy a warmer jacket, get a new hat or wear leggings under your trackies.

• Reschedule your morning walk to a lunchtime walk which means starting work earlier so you can take a longer lunch break.

• Get a friend onboard so you are accountable to someone else.

• Make sure the room at home where you do yoga is nice and warm e.g. switch the heater on 20mins before you start.

• Get a training program written for you by a PT or exercise physiologist and have regular reviews to keep you on track.

• Set an achievable goal so that you're working towards something

• Have an indoor exercise fallback if the weather is just too wet/cold/windy for you when you usually exercise

Everybody is different so it's finding the right approach for you and plan for it now!

To help get you moving here's a super quick exercise that will get the lymphatic system pumping in just 1 min - great to do first thing in the morning or during the day if you've been sitting for a while.

Happy lymph pumping!
