For the summer solstice this year, I decided to do hot and cold therapy. I’ve wanted to do it for some time now and it finally happened. I went in the sauna, took a cold plunge, immersed in the hot tub, and finished with a cold shower. After 3 circuits, I could definitely feel the difference in my shoulder joint!
Benefits include: 1. Fall and stay asleep more easily. As the warm water increases blood circulation, the heart rate rises while blood pressure lowers, giving the body an increased heart rate needed for effective exercise without an elevation in blood pressure. The warm water allows the body to relax and the mind to decompress. 2. Cold water immersion therapy has been shown to improve lymphatic and cardiovascular circulation. Proper circulation of the lymphatic fluid helps cleanse the body of toxins while increased blood flow prevents the heart from being burdened with muscular stress. 3. Cold water immersion may also provide positive psychological benefits. Cold water encourages the release of mood-elevating chemicals that are effective in treating symptoms of depression. Other advantages include reduced muscle inflammation and a boost in metabolism that burns calories. 4. Hot and cold therapy may also be used to treats common sports injuries such as: Muscle Strains Meniscus Tears Elbow Tendinitis Rotator Cuff Tendinitis Labral Tears Dead Arm Oblique Strains Heat Stroke and Heat Exhaustion Lower Back Strains Knee Swelling Ankle Sprains Jumper’s Knee Achilles Tendon Injuries Knee Ligament Injuries Groin and Hamstring Pulls Shoulder Joint Strains Knee Sprains Here is another 5 minute ab workout. It is easy to pick a few different exercises every couple of days to keep your workouts fresh. Just 5 minutes a day can make a difference. It makes you feel good about yourself- and look good, too. Form a good habit with me and reap the rewards.
How are you doing with the abs challenge this month? We announced it in the newsletter, and here is the calendar again. Start wherever you are. As I always say, we are not going for perfection. We are creating habits and celebrating our successes along the way. I've included a 7 minute ab workout below as a bonus.  |
