Falling off the wagon

I'm sure we have all done it. Even the most healthy person has had these moments.

I firmly believe in giving yourself "treats" and "cheat days"... If not you will drive yourself nuts. I don't ever want to feel so restricted that I'm unhappy.

However...

This weekend I went all-out all 3 days. I won't go into details but lets just say at one point I ate so much that I was trying to stretch my body out to make more room for my lungs to expand. I went into a "cheesecake coma". I over-indulged on multiple occasions- and this morning on the scale it showed.

As I have posted before... It's ok... there is hope.

With each day there is renewal and forgiveness.

I forgive myself and I'm ready to move on.

I have the courage to get up and continue on my healthy path.

Stretching for flexibility

Stretching is such a critical aspect of life. Stretching will not only improve your athletic abilities it will also help prevent injuries. When you stretch it allows your joints to move in their full range of motion.This is also a great technique to get blood to flow to your muscles. When it comes to cheerleading stretching is a huge aspect. Why? because the focus is on flexibility. When my cheerleaders ask me how to get better jumps- my answer is always to stretch daily. So how do you stretch for cheer? - First you never want to start with cold muscles. So first thing to do is is a light jog for 5-10 minutes. After that your muscled will be warm and ready to be stretched out. - Next focus on your major muscle groups and muscles that you use frequently. For cheer, that would be your calves, hamstrings, quads and hips.It is also a good idea to stretch your back and neck. - When you stretch your right side, make sure you are also stretching your left side. - Hold your stretch
