Description: DAY 7: MOVEMENT

Today's challenge is to move your body in a way you enjoy and one that fits into your lifestyle. Get in at least 30 minutes to 1 hour of movement today. Movement should be a fun way to connect to yourself, boost your energy, and clear your mind. I try to move every day. I will lift weights 4-5x a week, walk 3x a week, and stretch.

BENEFITS OF STRETCHING:
- Improves flexibility 
- Helps to reduce or manage stress 
- Gain mobility 
- Improves your performance in physical activities 
- Decreases your risk of injuries 
- Improves posture 

CHECK OUT THE STRETCHES I HAVE LINKED BELOW : 
- Post Workout Stretches
- De-Stressing Stretches 
These videos give examples & ideas of stretches you can do at any time. It's fantastic if you can stretch pre or post-workout. You can stretch for however long you have time for; it can fit into your life. I have more stretch videos posted in my stretch category on my app. 

Your movement could be as simple as going for a walk outside.

Post Workout Stretches

Walking outside has been one of the #1 things I've added to my routine that has completely changed my mind and body. It's the only form of cardio I do, and I've found I lean out and feel my best when I walk 4-5 days a week. If you can't walk outside, you can modify it to walking on a treadmill at an incline ( 12 incline, 3.0 mph, and for 30 minutes ) 

BENEFITS OF WALKING:
- Improves your mood 
- Helps relieve joint pain & stiffness
- Gives you a boost of energy 
- A great way to unwind & disconnect 
- Keep cortisol levels low 
- Reduces the risk of heart disease 
- A great way to relieving stress & anxiety 
- Gives you a chance to catch up on podcasts or audiobooks 
- Improved digestion
