Think Better, Feel Better
The most powerful thing about being human is the mind. To this day some things about the brain are mysteries to the smartest people to ever study it. What we do know is that it gives us the capability to accomplish seemingly impossible task'. The brain is indeed a muscle and needs the same maintenance our limbs and body parts do. Reading, mindfulness, meditation, puzzles, and just plain old R&R are the foundational concepts to promoting great brain health. What we think we can do and the more we work our brains out, and rest them when necessary; the more we can work our bodies to strive for a well rounded life. SQUATS are a great way to build the muscle needed for just about all sports. Avoid doing them on the same days as a running, hiking, biking type of activity that will use your legs and ensure you have a full rest/ recovery day afterwards. Treat them like pushups and crunches when it comes to sets and reps. Do what you can in a day for a few weeks at a time increasing the amount by around double every few weeks. 25- 50 per day, then 50-100, 100- 200, and so on... These 3 workouts; along with stretching, rest, and recovery are an excellent foundation to intermediate fitness goals; lie joining a sports team or picking up an outdoor sport.
