I posted yesterday but it must have poofed into the abyss. but saw me at the gym so she will vouch. I also came home and let the sun hit my face, and just breathed for a few - winter is always tough for those of us who get seasonal depression - but the last 3 years have been better since allowing my life to align with seasons. If it’s gonna be dark at 5pm then I’m gonna be hibernating too 😂 letting the sun hit my face first thing helps the circadian rhythm, and after it gets dark, our lights are all red, orange and mostly lamps. This also allows you to ease into rest. Today I forgot a pic again so bathroom selfie it is, but here’s the moves I’ve been hitting, over and over.
Cat cow
Child’s pose
Diaphragmatic breath
Thread the needle
Scapular retraction upright and in plank position
Static holds of 8lb weights - t arms, goal post, overhead press
Leg machines - 75% of my max for 3 sets of 10
Walking uphill or on stairclimber for 10-20 mins at moderate pace
