Hello and welcome to the end of May!
April showers bring May Fitness
May is National Fitness Month so in honor of a fun month filled with squats, jumps, throws and a couple slams, Rockstar Fitness would like to talk about an important part of your daily fitness routine
Sleep and how to rest the best.
Today as the month finishes on a beautiful and hopefully restful note we continue to discuss the many positive effects sleep can do for us
>Helps Armor the body to:
- Stock up and Boost your immune system
- Prevent infections
- Sleep reforms the body’s metabolic state by fine tuning the balance of insulin and circulation glucose
- Sleep further regulates our appetite, and body weight through healthy food selections instead of rash impulses.
How to get restful sleep?
There are a couple fast and hard ways to get your mind ready to sleep longer and better:
>Be Consistent. Meaning go to sleep at roughly the same time each day
>No Large Meals before bed
>Avoid alcohol or caffeine
>Try to keep your room dark, quiet, and at a moderate temperature
Stretch for the Night Sky
Allowing yourself to stretch out after a long day can make you more relaxed, less sore or tight, and wake more rested.
Lucky for the wonderful members of the Rockstar Nation…that’s you …I have a couple stretches to get into that restful mood you need.
Please use this helpful video to make tonight’s sleep a little better!
Have a super day Rockstar Nation!
