I get asked a lot in the office “you love to run, you must run every day” NOPE. I decided to look at how often every month I do these exercises that I track…..I found it kinda cool. I’m not training for anything right now, so I managed to get these miles in over 13 days. I don’t run on my long days in the office. My walking is something I do almost daily - cause of my dog ❤️ and my weighted vest 🙌. And the weights I do for 10-20 minutes at a time typically. There’s a couple of yoga classes and longer sessions sprinkled in over the 17 days.
But this exercise is a habit. My goal is typically consistency -if I’m not training for a race. I just sent the latest newsletter out and I have a whole thing about consistency in there. And what it means to show up for yourself consistently. It’s fun to add in races and change up the exercise routine, but my baseline is “movement is medicine”. And don’t hear what I’m not saying. Consistency doesn’t mean we don’t rest or pause. It’s the push/pull, give/take, the flow of action and rest.
I KNOW I move well because I take care of my spine. And I see this every day in the office with patients. When we are consistent with our care, consistent with showing up for ourselves, consistent with valuing ourselves and our health, and consistent with making healthy choices, lasting change happens. This health gets wired in our DNA and is expressed epigenetically.
What could consistently showing up for yourself and consistently getting adjusted do for your expression of health?
