Show notes  Rather than place band aids on stuff, audit whats going on and ask “why?” Think preventive NOT reactive The quality of exercise determines the outcome Neck issues are often result of us living in an extension based world  o   Made worse by stress and respiration issues (vertical breathing patterns). o   Reset respiration problems by checking in throughout the day to see where breathing is coming from and focus on using nose not mouth. o   Think “360 degree” breathing or “everywhere breath” around your low belly, sides and low back.  Shin splints/ Plantarfasciitis are often caused by overuse injuries (50% load, 50% muscles) and poor mileage management.  o   People often make the mistake of “running to get fit” when it should be “getting fit to run.”  Training shoe spectrum:  o   First and foremost ask –“how do you feel” in the shoes? o   Practice home foot care; roll bottom of your feet, wiggle your toes, make an arch and work on ankle mobility.  Travel Fitness & Nutrition: Find things you can do when you’re traveling.  o   “You can’t make perfection out of an imperfect schedule.” o   Focus on keeping a healthy routine, even as small or different as it might have to be. o   Think 1 x 365% o   Its not about the one off, its about the cumulative result. o   Identify healthy snacks you love and bring them with you.
