Use Functional Movement Not Just Exercise to Get Healthy

When you draw up the ideal winning formula for the Seattle Seahawks (7–3) it entails a balanced offensive approach, playing with swagger on defense, and not backing down from any opponent. Pete Carroll’s team executed this formula to a tee last Thursday night, beating Arizona 28–21 in a critical NFC West showdown. Russell Wilson took care of the football, The word exercise is actually quite a broad term. It encompasses a wide variety of things, but what it really boils down to is movement. When you move your body in a way that requires physical effort, you engage in exercise. However, what many people fail to understand is that exercise alone will not make you healthy. A 30 minute daily walk will not cancel out a poor diet that lacks key vitamins and minerals that your body needs to thrive. Thus, you need to focus on both diet and exercise. But even if you eat a healthy, balanced diet, you can’t exercise without a plan if you want to get fitter and see results. Instead, you must dig a bit deeper, and prioritize functional movement. …

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a coffee fanatic. I start every morning off with a fresh, hot cup of coffee and a splash of almond milk. I often drink two (sometimes even three) cups in a single day. Right after I wake up, I sluggishly walk downstairs. Then, I fill my small purple refillable coffee pod with my flavored coffee of the moment (it’s currently peppermint stick), and I patiently wait for that beautiful stream of coffee to pour out of my Keurig machine and into my favorite coffee mug. While there’s long been a debate about whether or not coffee is good for you, there is substantial research that shows a number of benefits to drinking a cup or two of coffee each day for many people. … When I first began a very structured weight lifting routine my freshman year of college, my coach placed a lot of emphasis on a few key exercises, one of which was the squat. I was weak and inexperienced, and I struggled to lift more than the 45 pound bar with proper form. I’ll admit that I was a little embarrassed, but I accepted where I was at. After all, everyone has to start somewhere. Every single day that I stepped foot in the weight room, I worked hard to get stronger. By the end of the year, I was able to squat double the weight that I started with, and my race times improved immensely. … I would like to think that I’ve mastered the art of working from home, since I’ve been doing it for almost a year. But I have to admit, even I have days where I get a little distracted, unmotivated, or don’t accomplish everything on my to do list for the day. However, one of the factors that I attribute most to my overall productivity each day is my home office setup. I have a clutter-free desk space that includes only the necessities, which helps me stay focused and minimize distractions. … I remember the workout so clearly. It was 6 am on a Monday morning. I was just a couple of months into my first year of college, and I had finally gotten accustomed to my new school, new team, and a much more rigorous cross-country training schedule. The week prior, I had finally made it through a workout without getting dropped by the team, which gave me a lot of confidence for the steady tempo run I was about to endure. … When you finally get home after a long and tiring work day, what’s the first thing that you do? Plop down on the couch? Take a shower? Cook dinner? I think all of us have done the first one many times. After a stressful and busy work day, nothing feels better than sitting down and relaxing for a little while. The only problem is, I spend the majority of the day on my computer, and I sometimes fall into the trap of remaining mostly sedentary for the entire work day.
