Being extra mindful when you are exercising, doing something challenging, or pushing yourself beyond your normal limits, can help eliminate or reduce exercise induced pain, prevent injuries when using weaker or imbalanced muscles, and help reduce recovery time.
Stretching in between your workouts as well as afterwards keeps the fascia nice and flexible and can reduce tension. Breathing during your entire workout with slower and longer breaths during your post exercise stretch will increase oxygen levels which will help repair muscles for quicker recovery, calm the mind and relax the nervous system and boost your mood.
Mindfulness is something we want to practice every day but even more so when we are pushing ourselves physically or even mentally and emotionally. It will help you overall, prevent further injury and promote more balance with less anxiety.
