Alexa is getting a little too honest

My effort doesn’t match up with my physiological response.

Although this workout didn’t feel hard as far as how much effort I put into, it did have a solid cardio response with my heart rate.

My goal is zone 2-3 cardio which requires me to go very slow. Although most gyms tell you to PUSH yourself, I have to work really hard to hold myself back.

I’m also drinking LOTS of electrolyte water if my heart rate gets too high at a constant speed. This usually brings me back down to the zone I’m aiming for.

My goal is to hydrate well and manage my POTS before starting cardio. Waiting until I have symptoms during a workout tells me that I’m already behind.

It’s been a long, slow process but my base cardio is improving!

A few years ago, I jumped up to level 6-8 and would push myself until my heart rate couldn’t go any higher and I’d feel like I was going to pass out. I also didn’t even regularly take electrolytes at that time either. Sure, it was a “good workout” but I always felt burnt out.

Don’t forget that boring consistency will go a long way!

*No, I didn’t start with 20 min on the stair master. It’s been a slow process to build up*

Why compression socks???

It comes down to “poor circulation”

Dysautonomia is a common condition we often see alongside hypermobility syndromes

This is a general term for a dysregulation of your autonomic nervous system (controls any automatic process such as breathing, heart rate, temp regulation, etc)

There are multiple different types.

For me, I tend to run low.

Docs RAVE at my blood pressure and how “healthy” it is

Even though I usually have a low blood pressure and heart rate (healthy), I get SO cold, uncomfortable, my lips turn blue after I eat, and my blood feels so stagnant.

Compression gives my body a little extra squeeze to help things pump more efficiently!

Some with hypermobility may also have weaker blood vessels. The longer you stand, the more veins have to work against gravity to circulate your blood.

Abdominal compression would be the most ideal, but any compression you can tolerate can be helpful!

We launched these 3 fall designs that are only available until Wednesday, Oct 15th for pre-order.

These are limited time designs so that we have processing time due to running small batches

Check out the link below to grab yours or message me!

If you want to try socks but aren’t in love with our designs, you can also save on site with code JENNADPT (I will receive commission through this code. It’s a great way to support me and my content!)

Let me know how the first vs second cueing feels!

I spent years as a personal trainer in the fitness realm and none of the typical cues worked for my body.

I have so many clients who are amazed how they can do the exact same workout with different cues, but they can actually feel the right muscles working or have improved body connection.

Want more hypermobile specific cues?

I have the following on demand, hypermobile specific programs included in my Pocket PT membership:

- Rib Cage Reset
-Neck & Shoulder Stability
-Knee Stability
-Ankle Sprains & Agility
-Beginner & Intermediate Foundations
& more!

We DECREASED the price of these programs from $100/month to now $40/month 🤯 and give away 2-3 scholarships a few times a year for those who can’t pay that.

Managing hypermobility takes time and consistency. What matters is that you get started asap, and work imperfectly on yourself through the ups and downs.

Me and my team are here to support you!
