Turkey Day Recap 🦃 —NSFV (not safe for vegans, swipe through)

Always an enjoyable time hanging around the family

UNDERSTANDING YOUR POSTURE ♾

Our posture is NOT a passive phenomenon like we’ve been led to believe

Our posture (some side views depicted here) can be PREDICTIVE to many things BEYOND just our structural/anatomical state.

To a trained eye, it can also show us about pain, trauma, patterns, self-esteem etc…

Resting posture is a inedible tool to help us determine our physical health. (We’re at rest, but we should STILL be engaged!)

Active posture (dynamic movements) is essentially the same thing, but tends to HIGHLIGHT what dysfunctions we are currently experiencing to a greater degree.

Structurally speaking—we actually have TWO supports systems ➡️ the SOFT (connective tissue, fascia) & HARD skeleton (bones)

It’s a constantly ADAPTING state we’re continually in—as our bodies continuously look to create an optimal internal environment (homeostasis) for our past & projected demands

While we’ve been led to believe that our bones 🦴 are what’s holding us up… New research 🔬 into connective tissue has led us to believe the OPPOSITE. Bones are more like ‘spaces’, while your connective tissue is what makes your SHAPE & STRUCTURE. 🍑

This is great news—because these can CHANGE with the RIGHT inputs CONSISTENTLY…

To a better future 🗣

Thanks for tuning in 👁🧠🌀

Turkey Day Recap 🦃 Babino Style

👉🏾 NSFV ❌(not safe for vegans ➡️ Swipe for my starter plate)

There’s little room for excuses when you INVEST in yourself 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m a firm believer that opportunity comes into
our lives for us to determine whether or not
we’d like to MOVE forward in a certain direction

Recently I was able to attend a NKT seminar in Atlanta (OBVIOUS opportunity there 📍) and was positively challenged.

It was so refreshing to be able to attend a seminar IN-PERSON (kinesthetic leaner here 🤓) and interact with people from across the country that, like myself, are looking to IMPROVE their skill set & help clients in a more profound and comprehensive way.

My anatomical 🦴 and bio-mechanical ⚙️ knowledge put to the test and practically applied. It’s like a gained +50 skills points. 🎮

Yes these things can be unnerving—but I’ve found that our mindset going into things is key.

Often times we expect ourselves to be perfect when it comes things we are going for the first time, because if we’re not perfect, we aren’t WORTHY… Right? 🥲

WRONG.

It’s funny how that belief carries so much weight mentally, but when communicated, sounds just ridiculous 😂

Prepare accordingly. ✅
Have your own back. ✅
Know that things will be OK regardless of the outcome(s) ✅

Building Social Equity.

🙋‍♂️OUR HIERARCHY OF NEEDS 🎚

This is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—referencing to our biopsychosocial (biological, psychological, social/sociological) desires within our lives and how they are GENERALLY prioritized in human beings.

This is a GREAT reference to use for our lives, since this can be a tool to TRULY become more INTEGRATED and HEALTHIER versions of ourselves. True development is DEPENDENT on this.

Again—we ALL have a blueprint for EXCEPTIONAL health. 🧬

The Dis-ease(s) that we generate in our lives should be understood and viewed as ADAPTATIONS to whatever we’ve experienced on a relatively consistent basis.

When referencing this brilliantly illustrated pyramid 🔼 you will see that our PHYSIOLOGICAL needs are at the BASE.

Yet… I see so much neglect of our own physiology… Whteher it come to nutrition, lack of movement, drugs, alcohol, sleep, rest, exercise… And it’s wreaking HAVOC.

In this life, we CANNOT ignore the FACT that we are biological creatures 👨‍🏫 so our lifestyle must reflect how we can optimize this, and THEN we can begin to meet & fulfill our loftier needs & desires 🧠

No EGO likes to start at the bottom… But one cannot build a STRONG, ROBUST and RESILIENT house without a concrete foundation 🏠

Friendships going strong. Another trip around the sun 🌞 for 🎉

Addressing Imbalances—BEFORE 😬 ➡️ AFTER 😮‍💨

We are NOT perfectly aligned beings 100% of the time… And this is OK (as a perfectionist this is a big humbling pill for an Ego to swallow)

It’s easy to get caught up the in LOOK of perfection in the fitness and wellness world… Because appearances DO communicate (to a certain degree) our health status.

Here I’m assisting a client that has a history of back pain—helping to RELIEVE her imbalances will to give her NERVOUS system a better picture for interoception & better proprioception in important patterns such as Gait 🚶🏾‍♀️

Getting tangible feedback like this is IMPORTANT. What’s more important is she’s feeling more ‘balanced’.

Improving our biomechanics is simply another PIECE in a comprehensive puzzle 🧩 on solving issues with PAIN, and regaining our innate health blueprint.

If you’re interested in getting BACK into alignment—I’d like to chat to see if I can be of any help in your situation

If you have any questions, or simply waiting to take your fitness and health to the next level... 👇🏾

More Mobility.
Less Pain.

What can Cryotherapy teach us about life? 🤔 ⬇️

These are some thoughts I’ve gotten reflecting on my experience with cold exposure 🥶 through cryotherapy ❄️ 👇🏾

▫️ Discomfort DRIVES adaptation
▪️Hot or Cold… We have the innate physiological ability to regulate ourselves (on various levels!)
▫️A state of non-thought helps to reveal the true nature of the things AROUND us
▪️Our physiological state(s) can PRODUCE resonant thoughts and actions ➡️ fight or flight // rest & digest
▫️ Taking true care of your body WILL pay dividends in the short & LONG term
▪️ Instilling the right philosophies & unlearning discordant ones is a YOUNG mind’s duty and responsibility
▫️ Things can SUCK, be ENJOYABLE and be BENEFICIAL all in the same time… Don’t constantly avoid them 🥲

Business is so much more than transactions. It’s about relationships. It’s about trust. It’s about serving. Had another great opportunity this past weekend to instruct some folks about training & moving functionally (a great birthday present eh? 🥳) — Small group training is where it’s at ⚡️
