Alexander the Great is fighting tonight. One of the all-time GOATs.

Who doesn't like to grab a snack from time to time? Quick, easy, satisfying. But those snacks can add up and sabotage your progress. What if there was a good kind of snack? Well there is. Exercise snacks. And they can go a long way! It can be nice to set aside an hour to go to the gym or to do some other activity, But that can also be hard to squeeze in for a lot of people. There are only so many hours in a day (as far as we know, lol). Exercise snacks let you work in some movement throughout the day. A few minutes at a time. You can also call this "microdosing". After sitting for awhile... Do a few jumping jacks, wall sits, push ups, anything really. Pace around, walk around the block or your building. Something that doesn't even really feel like much. But over the course of a day... These things can really add up! Without you having to "add" another thing (like going to the gym) to your already full day. These can also be great to shift your perspective... To overcome roadblocks / hurdles. Similar to "walk away, take a deep breath"... Because that is exactly what you're doing! So grab a snack! 💪😎 Are you snacking today? 🤷‍♂️

Or maybe you should. A standing practice can go a long way toward repairing an abused body. Practices like "Wuji" or "Zhan Zhuang" are all about allowing the body to return to it's natural alignment. There are many details to consider, but this video is a pretty good place to start. Coming soon there will be a course breaking down some of the specific alignments in more detail. ENJOY. *And as always, feel free to ask questions, share wins and/or struggles, voice concerns, or whatever else comes to mind.🙏

Here are a couple of simple opening movements to play with. The first is often called "Opening the Door". Maybe it's a garage door? As you sink your weight down, the hands float up. As you rise up, the hands drop. The second is called "Holding the Ball" or "Embracing the Moon". Think of holding a yoga ball or beach ball. There is a roundness to the position and the ball is three dimensional. If you were holding the moon, it would be heavy and you would sink from the weight. ENJOY.🙏
