Prescription: Brain Fog, Take 1x Cycle Class.
Are you stuck with a brain fog, an idea, or need to ponder the problem? Unconscious activities such as bike classes and treadmill jumps can help clarify your thoughts.
I took my fair share of this medicine, and it works almost all the time. I don’t know if it has to do with more oxygen pumps around your brain, or with landscape changes that help you think differently.
Listen to Mamamia’s daily news podcast, The Quicky. The post continues below.
Prescription: I am troubled by f ** k and take one yoga class.
The well-known psychological effect of intensive breathing yoga is a solid antidote to your irritation.
There is a reason you are told to “take a deep breath” when you are losing your s ** t. That oxygen infusion helps calm your nerves, and for a moment focuses your attention on breathing rather than what bothers you (or anyone).
Prescription: Groundhog Day, 1 x Get something new!
Routines are good, especially when it comes to adhering to fitness routines, but if you’re doing the same about how you feel forever, it can’t be exciting.
Time to rock it: Trying out a new group fitness class, hiring a personal trainer service, or as easy as exercising at another time of the day may be enough to inspire you. Hmm.
Prescription: Energized and take 7 x anything!
When it comes to your training, when you feel AH-MAZING, you have to squeeze that energy out for everything it’s worth – we know it doesn’t come often these days.
So, if you happen to be spending these unicorn days, supercharge your training with the goals you’ve been trying to achieve. Is your goal to do push-ups on your toes? Try it today. Is your goal running on the treadmill for another 5 minutes? Try it today. Are you aiming to crouch an extra 5kg? Then you know what to do to criticize it!
As you can see, there is really training for all moods.
