The gym is already starting to thin out! I’m happy for all the people who want to get healthy for 2024, but I knew it would be short-lived. This is good news for me because one of the reasons I love working out early in the morning is so that I don’t have to stand in line for the gym equipment I want to use.
When all these new people showed up on the 1st, they were hogging up all the machines I like and staring at their phones. People need to be more cognizant and respectful of other people and not spend excessive time on a machine. We all have limited time to work out in the morning and we don’t have time to wait for someone to update their Facebook status. I think some people just like to brag to their friends that they are at the gym working out finally.
This week went really well for me. I’m still enjoying my
food plan and I really like splitting up my big morning meal into two
meals. My workouts have been consistent and I’m feeling stronger and more
flexible. My spine has been feeling great. I continue to do activities that maintain
spinal mobility, alignment, strength, and stability.
There are a lot of people with strong muscles but they
still have back pain. The key is spinal stability. This is when you train your
core musculature. The core muscles are not your abs. The core muscles are the
small spinal stabilizers that surround and protect your spine. Your core
muscles engage when the bigger muscles move you around.
If your core muscles are weak then your spine may shift out of alignment when you do something simple like pick an object up off the ground. When this happens pain ensues.
I think a lot of people confuse their core with strong
abs. Yes, it’s important to have a strong midsection but the emphasis should be
on the transverse abdominis. This muscle wraps around your waist like a belt. To
engage your TVA, you must suck in your stomach, especially before you try to
lift something.
Keep pushing towards your goals this year and never give up!
