25 Days of Christmas 5 Minute Fitness Challenge-Day 14

Happy Wednesday everyone!

As we move into the middle of the month with Christmas right around the corner, we are going to dial down the workouts and focus more on moving our breath; this will reboot both hemispheres of the brain and to shuttle the body into rest and digest mode or parasympathetic mode.

Because we are always on the go and rush, rush, rush mode, we often find ourselves in "fight or flight" mode-this raises our stress hormone, cortisol; excess cortisol can cause a myriad of health problems including but not limited to:

  • excess weight
  • migraines and headaches
  • cravings for sugar
  • insomnia
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • joint and muscular pain

Take this opportunity to tune in and take 5 minutes for a little self care-your body, mind and spirit will thank you!

Listen. Live. Love.Learn. Burn,

Christine
