My Stretch for Sports EDITION
Focus: Cycling

Myself at age 3 a happy little cycler!
I've loved to bike and it's been a joy of mine since my early years of bike riding trips with my mom. I often suggest this cardio activity to clients because it's so good for all fitness levels and ages. It's also a great family activity to keep your spouse and kids fit too, and a fun way to spend time with friends. But what does biking really do for you physically?

First, you get the same cardiovascular benefits from cycling that you receive from any other form of aerobic exercise--and your muscles get a boost, too. Bike riding strengthens your thighs, hips and glutes. If your route includes hills, your arms and upper body will benefit as you stand to pedal. In addition, cycling is gentle on your joints and helps preserve cartilage. 

That's especially advantageous for those who suffer from muscle strain, foot problems, knee injuries or pain, back pain or impact-related injuries caused by running, jogging or walking. If you're overweight and just starting an exercise program, cardiovascular exercise can be hard on your joints. Biking, however, is a great choice as it reduces this impact. Daily routine biking can help fight the incremental weight gain and waistline expansion many experience at midlife too.

With any sport it's important to stretch and I've got a great series that will help your hips, glutes, hamstrings, calves and more whether you cycle or not.  See this Week's Feature Story and meet me on the mat this week to help yourself also to have a "happy seat." If you are driving, cycling or sitting at a desk most of the time you won't want to miss this series.  And if you like to bike, it's happy trails to you!

Also, special thanks to Linda Hutcheson for joining me at my Stretch and Restore classes last week to provide Thai Bodywork.  Missed it? Well, you can still get her coupon savings.  See the coupon, scroll for it below!  
Jackie and Linda Hutcheson strike a pose after teaching.

In all my years of teaching and training, I've never had anyone come to me saying they regretted spending time on their health and wellbeing, or time with their family doing fitness activities. 

Let this be a season of making memories with your children and grandchildren, biking and hiking.  Don't neglect the very thing that can make sure you can enjoy every minute in the sunshine that you can.   Take care of your body with exercise and reward it with active streching and massage so you can go further in the future. 

Happy trails to you! ~ Jackie

The Value of Thai Bodwork

What is Thai Massage?:

Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than other classical forms of massage. This form of massage is performed on a comfy mat on the floor with the client fully clothed in comforable attire. The practitioner uses her hands, elbows, knees, legs, and feet to compress and stretch the muscles. Many of the stretches are yoga-like stretches. The combination of stretching, compressing, joint mobilization, and acupressure aids in releasing congestion and toxins in your muscles and body. This form of massage will ultimately deepen your yoga practice, your fitness regimen and your general well being.
