how to exercise with long term health restrictions

A Whole9 guest post by Kate Galliett, creator of Fit for Real Life and The Unbreakable Body, an online strength and mobility program. Where there has been significant injury, significant recovery is required.

Are You Recovering or Just Resting?

Today, I’d like to talk about recovery. No, not economic recovery—though that would be lovely—but physiological recovery from the stressors placed upon us by our modern physical world.

Recovery can encompass many different behaviors and strategies, but it is fundamentally different than just resting. Rest is simply the absence of effort or … [Read more...]

It’s Just Exercise (Part 2)

by Melissa Hartwig, who likes to argue both sides sometimes First, if you haven't read Part 1 in this series, please do so now - you'll need a little background to follow along with the discussion.  Last week, we talked about the idea that for most of us, our time in the gym is just exercise.  It's not our profession, it doesn't make us money, and if we happened to get pinned under a squat clean gone bad, Sports Illustrated isn't going to embarrass us with an ugly front page photo.  But while … [Read more...]
