December 2020 Newsletter – Move Better for Life

New Year’s resolutions are frequently overambitious and set us up to fail. Instead, we should think of them as intentions. And as we enter 2021 it is clear the world will still be an uncertain place. So be kind to yourself and set goals that nurture and inspire your wellbeing, make them realistic and achievable. Think about how you might achieve that goal over a year and schedule the time in.

I’d like to set you the challenge of moving just a little bit more each day. This might take the form of a daily stretch routine to kickstart your morning, a walk at sunset to clear your head or to simply park the car just a little further away from your destination, increasing your incidental exercise. Why? So you can move better for life.

Movement with a twist: safe strengthening of the legs

Our bodies are designed to move easily over distances using our legs as long levers. The joints enable flexible movement such as running, jumping, dancing and yoga. The legs house some of the largest muscle groups in the body that cross over a series of joints at the hip, knee, ankle, and foot. When any of these muscles and joints along the chain within the lower limb do not move as designed, and move in compensatory ways, the lower limb is predisposed to injury. Read on for exercises you can do to safely strengthen your legs.
