Small Wins & 10 Minute Legs
Ten minutes of body conditioning for healthy hips and hamstrings are a fantastic way to care for your well-being this season. Hydrate AM, PM & post-workout. Repeat as often as you want.
My main message for this year is to anyone struggling right now and I want you to know how small daily wins can add up. Your body needs a couple of weeks (or even a whole season) to move and fully wake up your muscles. By the way, that's normal if you are unfit or experience setbacks after the holidays and circumstances of the past few years.
Prop: The Foam Roller
A foam roller is a lightweight, prop of compressed foam that increases balance and flexibility, reduces soreness, and eliminates muscle knots. Rolling is a method of self-myofascial release. Rollers come in different sizes, and the density (often identified by the color) can range from firm to soft (best for beginners).
For home workouts, we need an unintimidating road map to confidence with or without the gear. If you don’t already know about it, pay a visit to Peaks Body’s Homekit for ideas and guides to create an atmosphere that inspires activity.
