Combine static and dynamic activities to challenge Combine static and dynamic activities to challenge your active mobility! Restricting motion in one limb while the other moves freely can change the distribution of joint loads, alter whole-body stability (balance), and make it much more challenging to control specific joint positions. Push-up with altered hand placement x 60s (4 reps, each with 15s hold at bottom while left and right hands move medially and laterally) Right leg back lunge with altered rear foot placement x 60s (4 reps, each with 15s hold at bottom while rear foot moves forwards and back) Inverted row with altered hand placement x 60s (4 reps, each with 15s hold at top while left and right hands move medially and laterally) Left leg back lunge with altered rear foot placement x 60s (4 reps, each with 15s hold at bottom while rear foot moves forwards and back) #performanceredefined #activemobility #mobility #mobilitywod #mobilitymatters #movementhygiene #physicalliteracy #movementmatters #beactive #iaffwfi #iaffpeerfitness #5minutesoffun #fittothrive
Although our reasons to be active can be quite per Although our reasons to be active can be quite personal, we are often drawn to and motivated by the stories of others who have transformed their lives with exercise. Special thanks to the fire fighter from local 1075 for allowing us to share his personal story with the Fit To Thrive community! #bettertogether “As a firefighter I am constantly surrounded by reminders of why fitness matters. Heavy gear, hard work, and long shifts take a toll on our bodies. In 2017, I was transferred to a new shift and invited on a morning run. I said sure before asking what I was agreeing to. It wasn’t an epic run where we lay down Olympic times, but I can honestly say I had never felt so energized. My mind was clear, my body felt great, and I didn’t even start work for another hour. The physical fitness aspects are all obvious, but what I hadn’t realized at the time was how much I would come to need and crave that run. It is my favourite way to start the day. The routes vary, the pace is usually set by the slowest person, and there’s usually lots of chatter. Sometimes it’s just a quick mention. Sometimes it takes the full run. But then we go off to our respective stations. I’m physically warmed up but more importantly I’m mentally focused and calm. I feel the stress and distraction that comes with a busy life is lessened. The calm start provides an opportunity to establish the mood and tone for the day. And that mood and tone carries over to my crew and the public interactions I have. The mental health benefits are incredible. The fresh start to the day, with a good push of your heart rate has helped me through some very tough times, and that has had a tremendously positive impact on me and my family.” #fittothrive #iaffwfi #iaffpeerfitness #firefighterwellness #firefighterfittness #exercise #community #exercisebenefits #exerciseandmentalhealth #beactive #beactiveeveryday #motivation #meditation #lessstress #performanceredefined
