Movement keeps the body strong and the mind alert. The body achieves what the mind believes. What are you doing to accelerate your strength?
And this is not just any strength. This is where you strengthen before and after your workout.

The gold is made in the warm-up and the cool-down of any routine.
However, let’s be honest. Do you really do a warm-up and cool down every time your workout?
I wish I could respond with the affirmation. But I so do not. And that’s really when I pay the price. My muscles go into shock when I jump right in. And when the workout is over, I feel tired and think I can’t do one more thing.
On the contrary, I am always stronger than I think. And so are you!!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Accelerate your strength!
What your mind and body need are the pre- and post-workouts.
These are the ones you think really don’t matter, but give substance to your training. It makes all the difference.
Warm-up
- Pumps nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to your muscles, speeding up your heart rate and breathing.
- Length of the warm-up should last five to ten minutes.
- Work all major muscle groups.
- Start slowly and then increase the pace.
- Routines consist of cardio and range-of-motion exercises, such as jumping jacks and lunges. Enjoy dancing or a brisk walk with arms pumping, too.
Cool-Down
- Slow movements for your body lasting five to ten minutes.
- Prevents muscle cramps and dizziness while gradually slowing your breathing and heart rate.
- Incorporate stretching exercises to relax and lengthen muscles throughout your body and improve your range of motion.
- Hold each stretch for 10 to 30 seconds. The longer the hold, the more flexible you become.
- Flow from one stretch to the next with no rest in between.
As you warm-up and cool down, be sure to include your thoughts in the process. What you think about you bring about. So position your thoughts to move you forward in your fitness and daily routine. Anticipate how you want to feel and what you want to see.
You matter!!!
