Insight

Thursday afternoon Trek 🏃‍♂️🧘‍♂️ . . . For the past few months I've been working on optimising my bodies ability to run and move more efficiently and yesterday proved that it has been working. Previously only running between 4 and 5km because anything more I would get either knee, hip, or back pain but yesterday I said stuff it and went for it (I don't reccomend anyone else to do this by the way). I completed a 13.5km run with absolutely no pain whatsoever, aside from general... fatigue 😤
Aside from the defeat of pain I ventured through the local karawatha forest trails for the first part of the run and wanted to talk a little about trail running and being in nature. For any of you that dont know me I'm 100% not a runner, nor do I enjoy doing it but yesterday running through nature I felt nearly all the stress and anxiety I had leave my body. Aside from the physical benefits of running, or trail running in particular the mental benefits are immense. As most of us get stuck in the daily grind always being in and around traffic, buildings, large crowds of people, we dont get time to unwind and earth ourselves again. This is when we should turn to our roots immerse ourselves in nature. Whether it's running, walking or even going for a picnic in nature it can be one of the most therapeutic things you can do.
With the Toohey forest, Mt Coot-tha or my local Karawatha forest being within short driving distance of the CBD there really is no excuse to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Either go on your own (make sure you know your route) or go with a friend and reap the rewards. Set a goal of 20 minutes to start with then if you're comfortable with it, increase your time! Enjoy! #insighthealth #brisbanefitness #brisbanerunning #trailrunning #vivobarefootshoes #mentalhealth #stressrelief #pb #halfmarathontraining #sportspecific #hipmobility #hipstrength #mobility #mobilitytraining

Great article from the guys over at #onnit and a few pointers to get more greens into your diet. My two favorites are green smoothies and cooking your greens with a little coconut oil

SUGAR is the new 'F'(fat) word!
If you've been neglecting your diet due to these colder months one of the best things to do to get yourself back on track is limit your total sugar intake.
Excessive sugar (or refined carbohydrates) can have a massive negative impact on your health. Ranging from cardiovascular diseases, irritable bowel disease, type 2 diabetes and more. Not to mention the rollercoaster of energy you feel daily.
... Paddy Spence (CEO of Zevia) went from having a whopping 250grams of sugar a day to limiting his intake to 15grams.
If you're interested in ways to limit your total sugar intake and positively impact your health have a read of the strategies you can use in the link below or listen to the podcast recording between Paddy Spence and Dr Anthony Gustin.
