Who Needs Permission to Wear Sweatpants? Here’s the benefits!
NEED PERMISSION TO WEAR SWEATPANTS?
Read on...
Dude.
Some folks like to get nails done. Some like to snag a morning cup of coffee as a treat each day from the local barista. Others like to get regular massages... and that is the group I fall into.
During my veterinary emergency residency, I had every Thursday afternoon off... which also meant I had a regular Thursday afternoon appointment with the BEST massage therapist I ever met.
Hands down, Kate, you are my fave.
And I chuckle because after the TWINS were born, I found out I needed a massage MORE than ever yet never made the time to go get one... you know, life.
Now with social distancing, massages are a thing of the past for me; however, just because I can’t go to a massage therapist at this time doesn’t mean we can’t snag the benefits of a massage at home.
I’m talking about FOAM ROLLING or as the hubster calls it, “poor man’s massage.”
The reason I love foam rolling is because it enhances lymphatic flow... as well as breaks down “tension” points in my muscle bellies.
And I’m not sure IF you are like me, but there’s some TENSION in these shoulders (and my calves).
Anywho.
Other ways you can increase your lymph include:
- vibration and/or rebounding (think trampoline)
- dry brushing
- sweating which helps your body release toxins
- wearing loose clothing... hello, sweatpants!
YEP! I’m basically saying, jump on a trampoline, use a foam roller, sweat it out and wear those sweatpants.
It’s like the PERFECT scenario for quarantine days... plus, you are snagging benefits of a improving your lymphatic flow.
But the MAIN question is... which one would you rather:
- Get my nails done
- Fave coffee from my local sho
- Massage session
- Other- list in the comments below!
I’m curious to hear, but for me... I’ll stick to foam rolling + sweatpants.
Grit + Gumption.
