Reassessing Results

Hello Dear One!

Ok!  Have your sights been set on a particular outcome or destination for your body or life?

Have you been doing what you think you ought to?  Or what you’ve been told?

And are you getting what’s expected?

If so, GREAT!

If not, WAIT!

Perhaps it’s time to reassess.

Here’s a quick clip about the reality of WHEN you should expect any given thing, and an encouragement about getting real with what’s so – and a push to change it if you’re not jiving with that.



Results. Are you getting what you want?

No Pain, Deliberate Gain

Hello Dear One!

OK!  I had a thought to illuminate the other side of the coin in the realm of comfort and support, and it’s name is VANITY!

If you’re less motivated by preventing pain in your lower back (or knees), and MORE incentivized by how your backside and tummy might look by doing the same supportive moves – WATCH and listen to this please.



Developed butt, toned abs = sexy and safe

And if you do desire to know how to craft a shape that feels AND is molded to your liking – be in touch or check these coaching programs.

Or if having a little less on your caboose or tummy might be the first order of the day, learn about the freeing state of fat burning here.

Extensions Over Planks

Hello Dear One!

Ok!

In the spirit of clarification, I thought it might be useful to get additionally real about what TRULY helps with lower back strengthening.

Planks can be a great stabilizing exercise and tend to relegate our core (our transverse abdominis), which IS the only abdominal muscle that goes all the way around our midsection.

By activating and strengthening this muscle we DO help with back stability, however we don’t necessarily create much more strength.

In order to do that we need to do more than an isometric contraction (static holding), and get some range of motion in the game, as well as RESISTANCE.

If you’d like a further spelling out of what this might look like (with a variety of options to boot), please check out this video.



Extensions over Planks

And if you’d like a full manual on YOU and how to stay safe and strong, I’ll encourage you to check out the ebook Power & Pain, OR to reach out about the in person option of Power & Pain which involves 2 sessions tailor made to deal with what you’re dealing with.

Lengthening is NOT Strengthening

Hello Dear One!

OK!

THIS is a distinction that has required some attention for MUCH time.

Frequently clients will give me a run down of what they’ve been doing exercise wise (especially on the physical therapy front) if they’ve been tending to an aspect of their body that’s been in pain.

The biggest misconception that tends to happen with the assortment of exercises that are prescribed, is that strengthening ones have not been made clear to be different than stretching ones!

And that matters BIG TIME in the realm of pain/weakness.

Give this a look see to get clarity on which is what and what might be serving you.  Or not…



Strengthening vs Stretching

And if you’d like to possibly prevent uncomfortable mumbo jumbo from going on in the first place – Power & Pain the ebook might be a useful resource.

OR if you’d like more one on one attention – Power & Pain can be done in person as a series of 2 hour plus training sessions.  Read a little more here, or please be in touch if there are further questions.

Lastly!  Have you experienced Reiki or Reflexology from Carolee yet this summer?  Worth checking out her healing touch if either curious or in need.

Lift with Your Chest!

Hello Dear One!

Have you ever realized a bit too late that you “might” be using your body (and back) in a less than proper way??

The truth is the way to stay away from harm is both to:

A) stay STRONG

and B) be mindful of your form

So often we move about the planet, and deal with load in an overly casual way – and this is most individual’s downfall when they run aground on PAIN.

So this quick, and highly repeatable (please oh please), cue should serve you well doing EVERYTHING frankly.

Really really.



Easy cue for back safety

And if you’d like a more complete body of knowledge that should reinforce this and MANY other concepts to keep you safe and sound – Power & Pain the ebook might indeed be a resource worth checking out.

Or in person is also an option if receiving this education in a more customized way is of interest as well.

Please be in touch with questions and what your needs might be if this is a desire.

Brace Yourself!

Hello My Dear!

SO, if you’d like to be forearmed by being forewarned – THIS video will be of use.

And if you need a refresher on HOW to pack your shoulders, refamiliarize yourself here:
ALSO if you’d like a big fat start to finish education and a resource that you can have at your fingertips, Power & Pain is an ebook that was made for this very purpose.

Oh!  And LASTLY Carolee’s special for Reiki ends Tuesday July 17th.

Speed Healing, Summer Special, & Dragon Boating

Hello My Darling!

Ok! Hopefully this sharing is useful for you or those around you (namely KIDS!).

I had a nasty abrasion from my Dragon Boat practice (check out an article that was written about our team in Motif Magazine), and was concerned about it not healing…

until I used this product that I got from my esthetician ages ago.

(Laurie Neronha at Viriditas in RI is a WIZARD, if you are in need GO!).

Check out this quick video that usurped the need to make a clip about Lymphatic Drainage for similar purposes.

Also if you weren’t aware almost EVERY type of bodywork aids in healing and health as it encourages the body to be in a state of homeostasis (= balance) during and after.

(Article on Reiki and our Immune System)

And if you’ve yet to experience the transformative powers of Reiki, OR have yet to join the Cult of Carolee, she is offering a Summer Solstice Special for that modality.

June 17th to July 17th
60 min Reiki sessions will be $70
45 min Reiki sessions will be $60

Carolee’s schedule is always limited, so book now to reserve your spot.

So whether it is Lymphatic Drainage, Massage, Reiki or Reflexology – know that time you spend supporting your body from the outside, dividends will be reaped on the inside.

Do you KNOW that you have sleepy glutes??

Do you not feel them when deliberately trying to use them in particular exercises, or do you feel like your backside has gone by the wayside due to endless hours of SITTING??!?

If so, please know you are NOT alone.

If you’d like to make sure you’re using your glutes more often than not, this quick activation series is sure to get them alert, active & back in action!

Check it out!
