Ive been studying all week and literally ALL day today for the midterm in my Food Service Systems class for tomorrow.
I'm exhausted.
I had to remind myself today how to destress in a cost effective manner-
#1. cardio
#2 foam roll
#3 childs pose
#4 savasana
#1. cardio:
makes you feel good
helps you lose or maintain weight
helps with sleep
makes your heart stronger
#2 foam roll
foam rolling can be used as a self-myofascial release or for stretching purposes.
to stretch the ILIOTIBIAL TRACT (IT Band)
Position yourself side lying on foam roller and roll just below hip joint down the lateral thigh to the knee. Be prepared because this is painful if the IT band is particularly tight...
#3 childs pose
In most yoga classes we return our practice to this forward fold to increase flexibility in the hips, massage the abdominal organ and relax the body.
#4 savasana
Savasana is also called corpse pose. This form of relaxation is a pose saved for the end of yoga practice or whenever your body needs a break from daily activities. Keep your palms open, feet relaxed and toes pointed out to the sides of the room and eyes gently closed. Allow your jaw to relax and your heart to melt...enjoy
