Here is your daily reminder to breathe

When everything seems out of control, remember that you always have a choice on how you respond. When choice is in doubt, take a deep breath.

The 4-7-8 breathing technique can be used to relax you when you're feeling stressed or anxious.

Give up waiting as a state of mind. When you catch yourself slipping into waiting...snap out of it. Come into the present moment. Just be and enjoy ~ Eckhart Tolle

Happy #nationalfitnessday

I know first hand how being active is great for mental health and wellbeing. Even just making a few small changes and taking that first step can make all the difference.

5 Mindsets that Create Success https://t.co/zTDtZPF4f6

Life gives you plenty of time to do what you want to do if you stay in the present moment ~ Deepak Chopra

[Dan Barker @danbarkerpt]

Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try ~ Sherman Finesilver

[Dan Barker @danbarkerpt]

If you mention ‘core challenge’ to Sharron her eyes light up and she gets all giddy! This move includes anti extension from the hollow hold & will burn your obliques as you fight the urge to tip over, moving the weight away from the body will increase the demand! #exercise #core

[Dan Barker @danbarkerpt]

Want to improve mobility? Try joint distraction, this is excellent at helping create more space in the joint complex. Stretching & soft tissue work helps but addressing the joint & creating space will allow greater fluidity & healthier movement - as Sharron says ‘it feels mint!’

‘Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare’ ~ Angela Duckworth

[Dan Barker @danbarkerpt]

When doing the SL deadlift try resting the opposite knee on a bench to take out the balance aspect of the exercise and really isolate the working leg. This exercise puts the glutes and hamstrings under the highest amount of tension in the stretched position. #exercise
