Need inspo for exercises, workouts, or music?


Happy November, everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and spooky Halloween. In Prescott, there is one street with old (for the southwest) historical houses that goes ALL OUT for Halloween. They close down the entire street for trick or treaters and the entire couple of blocks is full of Halloween parties and scary decorations. We went down there to hang in, take in the sights, and see what the popular costumes were this year! (A lot of blow up costumes of all sorts of things. My favorite is still the tried and true T-rex.) (And as another aside, if you're ever feeling down; may I suggest watching and entire T-rex marching band perform here).

Here's what's up at Chain Reaction!

From the blog:

A lot of people ask about their hamstrings being sore after riding. So I wrote a blog about it. Check it out below.

Exercise of the Month:
Ever get any burning or tingling down your leg when you sit for a while? Try this sciatic nerve glide to decrease symptoms!

Workout of the Week
Looking for some ideas in the gym? Here's my favorite Workout of the Week from this month:

1. Single Leg Hip Thrusts 3x8/side
2. Bent Over Reverse Flies 3x10
3. Walking Lunges 3x8/side
4. Squats 3x6
5. Tricep Kickbacks 3x8/side

What I'm listening to:

My husband and I celebrated our two-year anniversary this week, so we were listening to our playlist from what we played during our reception dinner. And let me tell you, there are some BANGERS. So if you're looking for a good playlist that spans the 60s rock to 90s grunge to 2000s DMB, this is the playlist for you.

That's all I've got to start out November, folks. I'm still mourning the end to Halloween and keeping an eye out for good candy deals at the grocery store.

Yours in fearless movement,
Jessie

Hey Reader, I get asked a lot about the "best" core exercises. It feels like everyone has been told that their core is "weak" and that's the reason for their (insert body part here) pain. I'd like to argue that maybe your core isn’t weak, it’s just underutilized. Let’s differentiate. “Weak” = not strong, unable to drive force. “Underutilized” = unable to be recruited effectively, allows other muscles to work harder in its place. Sure, it can also be both. But since our body always works in...

Hey Reader, my monthly email that I sent out last week was a little bit of a departure from my usual updates, which typically include exercises and info on what's been going on here at the clinic. Instead, I talked about the quote from the poet Rumi, "Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor". I hope that's helped you during this first part in June; I know it resonated with a lot of people! So, that means I missed my usual window to talk about PT! In order to make sure you got your...
