Today's video is all about my favorite lower body stretches! These stretches are perfect for after a run or leg workout day. In this routine, we will be doing 5 exercises that target the glutes, hamstrings, and thighs. Make sure you have done some work before starting this stretch routine.
Backbends are a type of exercise that involve leaning back and opening the chest. While they may seem intimidating, back bends offer a myriad of benefits for both the mind and body.
In this blog post, we will explore the top three benefits of incorporating back bends into your workouts.
Today we will learn exercises that will help us with the back flexibility to achieve a backbend. The first thing to know is that you can start at any age. It is not an exercise that requires strength; but flexibility and perseverance. But mainly a lot of patience.
As a curious fact, having a flexible back helps to avoid pain in this area, have a better range of motion, improving our overall agility.
At some point, we have all felt unproductive, that we don't work much or we don't have enough time to get things done.
It's not that we do not have enough time or that we are not productive; in most cases, what we do is procrastinate or leave for later the tasks or activities to be done.
As we have discussed in previous publications, it is important that we have a balance between our physical and mental health.
In the same way that we worry about exercising, eating right, and going to the doctor when something hurts; we should give the same importance to our mental and emotional health.
Here is a list of a couple of things you can implement to improve your mental health.
This week we have one more active recovery routine. Remember that these exercises help us to recover faster.
It is a way to rest the body from intense exercises without having to stop exercising.
Remember that as much as we like to stay active, rest days are also necessary to avoid wearing out the muscles and injuries.
What is mental health?
It is a state of "well-being" in which a person finds a balance between physical, emotional, psychological, and social health. It influences the way we think, act, and the way to handle the good and bad events we face daily.
In general, many of us do not dedicate a day to improving our mental health, and we have many excuses, but the reality is that we do not do it because we do not understand what benefits it brings.
Good care for our mental health helps us release stress, stop burnout, and increase productivity and creativity.
It also helps prevent anxiety and depression problems. It helps to lead a satisfying life with good relationships.
And to have better management of complicated situations that arise in life.
This week we have one more upper body routine with dumbbells. To make it more dynamic, we are going to combine the exercises with some core or leg exercises.
We will work the entire body in one routine,using isometric exercises to target some muscles but the main focus is on the arms.
It is always good to vary the way we perform the exercises to make them more dynamic, fun, and challenging, and also work on other aspects such as coordination and balance.
As we talked about in the post on: How to start working out at home, it is not necessary to have any special equipment to make routines that work.
Nevertheless, there are different types of accessories or equipment that you can acquire to complement your routines if therefore you wish it.

Staying active is one of the most important aspects of leading a healthy life. People have this concept that it's necessary to spend a lot of money on gym memberships and equipment and spend hours training.
The reality is that it is not. You can start exercising from the comfort of your house and without spending money.
This week's routine is a total body stretch. You can do this stretch after your workout or at any time of the day to help you relax the muscles and activate your body.
The goal is to help the muscles relax for faster recovery and activate the body if you spend many hours sitting.
It's a gentle stretch routine that can be done by anyone, no matter their flexibility level.
When it comes to exercise or training, which one is better to have, motivation or discipline?
These can go hand in hand, and you don't necessarily have to choose. To better understand it, it's necessary to know the difference between them.
