An aching back from long lectures in front of the Screen?

27. May 2020 / / 0 Comments

 This is an exercise I do in between every single lecture. It’s quick and easy but very good after having sat in the same position for a long time.

How to do it: grab your fingers and open your shoulders to reactivate the upper part of your back. If you feel like it lean back a little bit to also work with the spine and lower part of the back. Important is to firmly stay on the ground. As always in  Yoga, breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. The deeper and more conscious the breath, the more you’ll be able to immerse into the Asana (Yoga pose). Try and think of something that evokes a positive feeling in you and engage with that thought through your breathing. Do 3 reps (repetitions) each lasting around 10-15 seconds.

Since I am a licensed Yoga instructor I feel the urge to always give the source I have retrieved the information from: https://www.redbull.com/at-de/die-besten-buero-uebungen-gegen-langes-sitzen

 

Salsa Dancing for Beginners

27. May 2020 / / 0 Comments

This video by Addicted2Salsa gives you a step by step tutorial  for the basics steps and the right turn, two very fundamental features of Salsa. Also you learn how to dance with a partner. Although this might not be possible for some at the moment, Salsa alongside many other Latin dances can be danced and acquired by oneself to a certain degree. The profit of dancing on your own (and here I am quoting my Latin Dance teacher @lahabana_chica) is to set or strengthen your own personal note in your style of dancing. Doubting that? I can tell you from my own experience that it greatly improves your dance and it is super fun. I have been doing this for two months on a daily basis now.

Language: English

Duration: 12 Minutes

Dan (@coachedbydan), apart from his Irish charm, offers the truth. That is something I really like about his feed. No long explanations or pages to bring across his point but sharp and short but meaningful sentences.  There is no advertising of products, but rather having a critical eye on the many ads you’re seeing all over your social media. What’s more, is that he brings across this crucial information in a very humorous but still convincing way.

Apart from clarifying the many fitness rumours, Dan also gives a lot of intriguing input in his podcasts and shows that being fit includes having a hell of a good time.

His daily e-mail newsletter has become my morning literature. Make sure to also check out his website and his free E-Book on https://www.coachedbydan.com/online-coaching

LLucmafitfitness is an instagram account that offers short workout videos via Instagram.  It’s hosted by a local gym from Mallorca. This is really helpful when your looking for some inspiration on your own workout.

Be aware! Spanish ALERT! Do you speak Spanish? If not, have you ever done a workout in a language you don’t speak? It’s great fun, although sometimes you’re missing out on important posture information. Then  it’s even more important to observe the body language which has helped me improve my skills in reading body language.

Will you  join us on our travel to Mallorca @llucmafitfitness ?
