Early Spring Optimism
Happy March! It is starting to truly feel like spring with all the sunshine we have been seeing lately and I am so grateful for that. The weather has been so lovely so I hope you are able to enjoy it and get outside for a walk, run or whatever will fill your cup!
I have noticed a ton of my runners getting back into the swing of things (as I am as well) which is so exciting as we get into the Minnesota racing season. Just a reminder to get on top of those injuries before they become anything worse, the body whispers before it screams! Here is a fun little running warm up I like to do myself just to further prevent injuries. It's worth noting, the goal with any warm up is to truly warm your body up and create a sweat and warmth within the muscles you are going to utilize.
Another thing to note with my runners is that just because your running is increasing doesn't mean we can sacrifice strength training and lifting. This is so so so important to prioritize to optimize your runs and again, PREVENT INJURIES. If you need help programming something (all you need is 2-3 days a week), please let me know and we can set something up for you!
My February favorite things -
Favorite Podcast from February - I was going to add in my favorite book but crazy enough I didn't finish any books in February so I figured I'd share a podcast I loved instead.
What I'm using for my strength training - As we know I love love love strength programming and building a tailored program for someone based on their goals. For myself… I'm less motivated and get in my head so I have been LOVING the EVLO app. It's quick, effective and I can balance it easily with my running. It's designed by a physical therapist and all her instructors are PTs as well which is an added bonus!
Just a reminder the Premier Sports and Spine Center is now Nordic Rehab and Chiropractic. Dr. Bryan is still here and we are so excited to see you soon to help you with whatever it may be. We are so thankful to do what we do each day.
Know that if you ever have questions, I’m only an email, call, or text away. I am so grateful for each and every person here.
Warmest Regards,
