- A daily dose might be just what you need for pain relief
- And just like pharmaceuticals, there’s not a lot that work when you take them 3x/week rather than daily.
- When it comes to pain, most women I work with fall into the trap of only doing their exercises when their pain flares up.
- But the secret to pain-free living isn’t in doing the right exercises to fix it.
- It’s in ironing out the little wrinkles before they turn into a full blown crease.
- Micro-workouts are designed to do just that. Short daily sessions that are programmed with intention.
- These can help you build strength, variety, and momentum without overwhelming your schedule or your body.
- When movement becomes a daily habit, it’s easier to stick with because momentum bypasses motivation.
Here’s the problem
- We stretch to “fix” the pain
- We poke and prod, trying to reproduce our symptoms
- We look desperately for a quick fix
But this is a band-aid approach
- It doesn’t break the cycle
- It doesn’t give us a sense of power or confidence in our bodies
- It leaves us living in fear of when the next injury or flare up will happen
The alternative is daily movement which
- Builds strength gradually with small, intentional doses
- Introduces variety to keep your body balanced and mobile’
- Uses momentum instead of relying on motivation
A simple daily movement habit acts as a safety net on your sedentary days. And it supercharges your results on your gym or training days (if you have them).
