THE FASCIA BLASTER - ASHLEY BLACK - GIVEAWAY TODAY

November 19, 2017 janet gunn

Have you heard about the Fascia Blaster from Ashley Black? Do you know what Fascia is? I was a little familiar with fascia, but never really connected to the importance of what this connective tissue does until I was in pain after running or leaving one of my favorite classes. Thanks to Ashley Black's knowledge of how to take care of your fascia there' no longer a need to tolerate the pain. I have attached a video of how I use the Master Blaster on different body parts. I love Ashley's attitude, she wants us to know & understand our body and by doing so we can empower ourselves to take charge of how to live pain-free. Thank you, Ashley! I am so happy with my results. See Video Below.

Let's get started - Ashley's website has full details and tutorials. Follow Ashley on Instagram & Facebook.

Here' a great description from Ashley; For those of you who are visual learners, you can imagine your skin is like the rind of an orange. So, if your skin is the outer layer of the orange peel, the thicker, white, fibrous layer that lies almost immediately beneath the peel would be your fascia. Just as that thicker layer completely surrounds the inside of the orange, the same holds true to your fascia. We all have a layer of fascia directly beneath the skin that completely envelopes the body, giving another protective barrier between the skin and the deeper soft tissue. Don't forget to use oil on your skin before you begin!

Believe it or not, even those pesky dents and dimples, that we all know as “cellulite” are also due to unhealthy fascia! Most people think cellulite is a fat issue when in reality it is caused by distortions in your connective tissue - fascia! When … — Believe it or not, even those pesky dents and dimples, that we all know as “cellulite” are also due to unhealthy fascia! Most people think cellulite is a fat issue when in reality it is caused by distortions in your connective tissue - fascia! When the fascia is adhesed, it can pull the skin inward and, as the fat pushes through the fascia, it creates the dents and crevices we call “cellulite"
**If your issue is the IT Ban you'll want to read this;** You are probably wondering what IT Band (ITB) Syndrome is, and why it sounds so complicated? Simply put, ITB Syndrome is a condition where the Iliotibial (IT) Band swells, causing aching pain from the top of the pelvis to the knee – and anywhere in between. The reason it is called the IT Band is that it runs from the Ilium down to the Tibial track. We don’t wake up one day and our body decides to retaliate against us, the swelling and aching are a warning signal that something isn’t right with our structure or biomechanics.

All you need is 3 - 4 minutes on each area, don't forget to oil up each area. I did have minimal bruising and in 48 hours it was gone. Remember, you're releasing toxins. How about getting rid of cellulite and carve out definitions into your arms?&nb… — All you need is 3 - 4 minutes on each area, don't forget to oil up each area.

The Autonomic Nervous System (nervous system that controls bodily functions not directed by conscious thought – i.e. breathing) is directly connected and has innervation with the body’s fascial system. This has helped so much with my TMJ and neck pain. Great for travel!

You'll begin to see results within a few weeks or less. I felt a little sore after using, and tingly, because the blood was flowing. Don't forget the oil.

For those of you who love science, (I certainly do) studies have shown that the body stores emotions and memories within the fascia. Yes, it's a wide topic but you might feel strong emotions or uncover memories during or after.

If you have any questions or concerns always ask your doctor. This information was taken from Ashley's website and my personal experience. Regular maintenance is a key factor in maintaining your health, along with a healthy diet.

Bring The Bands

April 4, 2016 janet gunn

Spring is in the air; Summer's on the way and so are short sleeves, swimsuits and your tone arms. Here are a few exercises that go where you go. Traveling with this one little band can help keep your arms nice and tone. I know I've said it before, but as we age we need to become a bit more aggressive when it comes to our triceps and biceps.

Achieving toned arms come as a result of making changes to your diet, and we need to exercise all the major muscle groups in our arms and shoulders. It's never too late to start our quest for strong and beautiful arms. I promise you'll be happy you did.

All we need is a band. I like to tie a knot on one end for a better grip. Place one hand on your hip / begin to stretch your working arm at an angle in a slow and steady pace. You will feel your muscle begin to quiver...that's a good sign / Do 20 for 2 reps / Change arms and repeat.

Wrap the band around your hand and now we are going to stretch out to the side / Have a slight bend in your knees / Add an isolated movement with your waste / you'll feel this in your bicep and tricep / 20 on each side for 2 repetitions.

Sit on the band as if you were sitting on a swing / Grip both ends of the band / tuck your elbows in / Slowly begin to lift up and down / This is a small movement and you will feel the burn / 40 to 50 lifts, or whatever is best for you.

Your body is your temple. You and only you can make the choice to treat it in a loving way. There are many people who love and care about you and want you around for a long time. Take care of yourself...you're worth it.

The best project you'll ever work on is you...

CREATIVE PUSH-UPS & PHYISO BALL

January 29, 2016 janet gunn

Push-ups work almost every part of your body. Doing push-up uses the body's weight working against gravity to strengthen muscles. A woman who does push-ups can strengthen her chest, firm and tone her arms and stabilize her core, or abdominal muscles. Yes, I know they can be a bit boring, and hard! so let's add a Physio Ball for a little different approach, and we can work on our balance and strength too.

Nike Shoes/ Alo yoga Pant / lululemon Top / emi-jay hair tie /

Take the ball and place underneath your shins - Find a wall to balance yourself on while getting into position - Walk your arms forward slowly while keeping your balance - You will be working your core the entire time along with your balance -

Now you are in regular push up position -

Lower your body down to the floor and push back up, just like you would a regular push-up - Try and keep the ball still as possible - You will feel this in your arms - your core - back of your thighs - shoulders - triceps- All over! If you place the ball a little higher (on your thighs) it will be a bit easier - I like to do 2 reps of 20 push ups. You will really feel this in your upper body. This exercise is a little more exciting than doing push-ups only. *Do what is best for you. I am not a trainer, I just enjoying sharing what I do with you.
