Pure Bliss Lunch – thanks Laura Eggebraaten!!

I get to eat this from Pure Bliss Cupcake Company.  Follow her Facebook for daily lunch specials.  She does Paleo, which is completely awesome!

Chopped spinach, chicken, salad with homemade paleo ranch dressing.  Yummy in my tummy!

This morning the bootcampers did awesome for the Suck It Up Saturday Session.  They hung in there and kicked it’s ass.  Lots of red faces at the end.  Fine tuning those swings.  Nice Job Robin, Heather, Alisia, Rebecca, Amanda, Heather and Larissa.

Next came Swings And Things session with the veterans.  They killed it as well.  We hit the stations.  Two exercises at each station, 1 minute total.  We had a total of 10 stations and ran through twice.  Then we had a particularly nasty finisher.  Kicking Butt!!!!  Nice job Cara, Meredith, Mary, Heather, Diana, Kristin and Melissa.  Nice job ladies.  Because of all of you I absolutely love what I do.

Since it was such a beautiful day I had to soak up some Vitamin D – and it felt great.  My theory on the sun…don’t put a bunch of chemicals in your body or on your body and the sun won’t bake them into you.  I use coconut oil for sunscreen and don’t hang out for hours in the sun.

I was listening to a podcast the other night.  The guest was Will Chung. He and the host were talking about movement, working out, correctional exercises, everything along those lines and how to apply those things to bodybuilding (which was what that hat specific podcast was addressing).

One phrase that just stuck with me and which I could not stop thinking about was “rotate your tires.”  I just could not get it out of my mind.  I mean, seriously, what a concept.  I would hope that you rotate your tires on your car to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on your tires and on your car.  So, as we apply that to ourselves, I mean, holy crap, what a concept!  Right?  Think about it, good movement patterns, moving with purpose, not keying in on one body part or one area of the body, and just expressing the art of you.  Such a great phrase. I absolutely love it.

I like to do that in my own training. I change things up a lot. I try not to focus on one area. I want full body work and fully body mobility and movement patterns. I want to be able to move without pain. I want to be able to function without pain. I want to be able to express myself.

So, change it up. Practice movement. Rotate YOUR tires.
