Close grip incline push up. Great chest and tricep and core exercise. Be sure to keep those elbows tucked in and you core tight and hips neutral. Slowly progress yourself by lowering the incline angle to where you eventually are doing them on the floor. Enjoy!

Standing Y Raises with resistance band. This is a great exercise to work the lower traps. A lot of people work their upper traps with shrugs and such, but far too often the lower traps get neglected. Working the lower traps and training your body to fire them properly will help with posture and shoulder mobility. There are a couple variations of this exercise, for example with dumbbells, or lying on a bench. However, what's great about the band is that it allows for lighter resistance at the beginning and increased resistance as you perform the exercise. Also, it's extremely convenient, cheap, and easy to control the amount of resistance you apply. Give this a try at the end of your shoulder workouts or as a superset with another upper body exercise. Enjoy! #elasticband #theraband #shoulders #traps #resistance #resistancebands #exercise #training #saturday

RDL(Romanian Deadlifts) with posterior resistance. Another version of the RDL. By added some resistance from behind it requires you to really focus on firing those big posterior muscles, the glutes! Doing this exercise you can really teach your body how to fire the glutes properly and get more out of your lower body! Next time you're doing RDLs give this a try! #deadlift #romaniandeadlift #exercise #stronger #glutes #thursday #resistancebands

Kettlebell Lateral Lunge. This exercise is a variation of the normal walking or stationary lunge. The lateral lunge is great for the entire leg. It hits the glutes, quads, abductors, adductors, and even core. It's also a little more challenging of a move so it forces you to use your brain more to help increase your neuromuscular ability!! Give this exercise a try on your next leg day! Just remember to go at your own pace at which you're comfortable! Enjoy. #lunges #kettlebell #stretch #exercise #training #gym #anytimefitness #thursday #workout

Wednesday wisdom.... If you take responsibility of the fact that we create each moment and each experience precisely, we realize that our very own experience of life is determined by exactly what we think and feel, and that experience is generated regardless of whether we take control of those thoughts and feeling or not…The creation still takes place…and “The word becomes flesh”…. Just like a new day gives new hope, a new month gives new opportunities...have a great day! #wednesdaywisdom #wednesday #thought #mind #reality #february #newmonth

What are your habits?

Do you eat the same thing for lunch, go through the same exercise
routine, and fall into bed at the same time each night?

Or maybe you've made a habit out of eating whatever looks good,
avoiding the gym, and staying up as late as possible.

John Dryden famously said, "We first make our habits, and then our
habits make us."

Confucius said, "Men's natures are alike; it is their habits that
separate them."

And Aristotle noticed that, "We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit."

It's pretty clear that the habits you adopt will shape who you are.

When it comes to your body, the two habits that define your
physique are your eating and exercise habits. In fact, everyone
that you know who is in great shape has dialed in these two
important habits.

If you aren't happy with your body, then simply adjust your eating
and exercise habits. #habits #today #now #exercise #diet #physique #vision

Tired of unsuccessful weight loss? Repeated weight loss and regain may be doing you more harm than good. "Yo-yo" dieting or weight cycling can have psychological effects (e.g., disappointment, self-esteem issues) that inhibit weight maintenance. Repeated weight loss/gain has also been suggested to contribute to heart and blood sugar-related issues, especially if weight regain exceeds a healthy weight and is maintained over time. Even at a healthy weight, aging bodies naturally lose muscle and favor fat storage, both of which can contribute to health problems and compromised functioning that impact independent living. That's why many health experts recommend a "lifestyle" approach to maintaining a healthy weight, incorporating principles that can become lifelong habits after short-term weight loss goals are met. #weightloss #diet #lifestyle #time #commitment #health #sugar

Morning strength and stretch exercise! I love this exercise for my mornings because it accomplishes so many things. Strengthens my legs and core, gives me some rotation (with a little stretch) in my back, and gets my heart rate up! You can use this to warm up or as an exercise in your workout routine. I did all one side first then switched, you can also try alternating each leg every time. Make sure you start with a weight that feels comfortable and that you can control the movement. Have fun! #wednesday #workout #strength #stretch #flexibility #morning #strong

n 1944, Dr. James Gordon Gilke challenged his readers to consider the hourglass. “The grains of sand,” he wrote, “dropping one by one…the crowded hours come to you always one moment at a time.” When you feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges, consider the hourglass. Imagine one on your desk at work or on your coffee table at home. Only a single, solitary grain can pass through it at a time. No matter how busy you are or how overwhelmed you get or how many things your day throws at you, life is the same way. You can only handle one problem at a time; conquer one challenge at a time. Consider the hourglass, and as Dr. Gilke writes, you will gain emotional poise. #challenges #tasks #timepiece #steps #overwhelmed #sanity #psychology #thoughts #wisdom #tuesday #tuesdaymotivation

My mailbox is often chock-full of fliers and invitations. Amid all that, this one from Florida Hospital North Pinellas somehow caught my attention. We are in the middle of some big changes and some hefty challenges in medicine in the USA and Puerto Rico. Add that on top of the stress and fatigue associated with the everyday work of being a doctor, and burnout feels all to real. Many of my patients have told me that their primary care physicians are retiring early or giving up their practices. I often feel overwhelmed myself. Thanks, for putting this on. I sent my RSVP in enthusiastically, and I'm hoping you can offer some answers! #medicine #meaning #burnout #healthcare #physicians #dilemma #retirement #questions #hospital #florida (at Clearwater, Florida)
