🟨Week 4 (Days 22–30): Final push. Aim for 30+ squats daily (split into 2–3 sets if needed) and maybe challenge yourself with single-leg or pulse squats. By now sugar cravings should be weaker – keep planning your meals (protein, veggies, healthy fats) to stay full. On Day 30, reflect on how far you’ve come – you might not even miss those old sugar habits! Keep these new habits going for lasting health.

Day #25- SNOW DAY RESET ❄️

Snowstorm outside…
Perfect day to work with your body, not against it.

When it’s cold, dark, and disruptive:
➡️ we crave sugar
➡️ we sit more
➡️ our nervous system tightens up

That’s exactly why this 30-Day No Refined Sugar + Squats Challenge matters.

✨ Fewer sugar spikes = steadier energy
✨ Squats = circulation, warmth, strength
✨ Consistency = nervous system calm

You don’t need a gym.
You don’t need perfect conditions.
You just need 5–10 minutes and intention.

Today’s challenge check-in:
✔ Skip refined sugar
✔ Do your squats (slow, controlled, breathe)
✔ Notice how your body feels after

Small daily choices → big nervous system wins.

Who’s still in with me? 🙋‍♀️❄️

Day #24- Split Squat with Half Kneel to Stand with Spinal Tracts Activation. Why Split Squats + Half-Kneel to Stand = Powerful Nervous System Training and Regulation. 🧠

Split squats and half-kneel to stand do more than build leg strength—they train the brain-to-body connection and targets multiple spinal tracts especially these two ⬇️

🔹 Corticospinal tract
Refines voluntary control, precision, and smooth movement during the transition from kneeling to standing for fine motor control.

🔹 Reticulospinal tract
Supports posture, balance, and automatic stability so your body feels grounded and confident for gross motor control.

When both pathways are activated, movement becomes:
✔️ More coordinated
✔️ More stable
✔️ Less effortful

Train the nervous system. 🧠
Move with control. 🏃‍♀️
Build strength that lasts.🦵

🟨Week 4 (Days 22–30): Final push. Aim for 30+ squats daily (split into 2–3 sets if needed) and maybe challenge yourself with single-leg or pulse squats. By now sugar cravings should be weaker – keep planning your meals (protein, veggies, healthy fats) to stay full.

Day #23- Split Squat and Neurotraining on My Vestibular System

Your vestibular system (inner ear + brain) tells your body where you are in space.
When it’s trained well, squats feel more stable, controlled, and powerful.🧠⬇️

✨ Vestibular training helps squats by:

• Improving balance and postural control
• Enhancing coordination between brain & muscles
• Reducing unnecessary tension and guarding
• Increasing confidence at the bottom of the squat

When the brain feels safe and oriented, the body moves better.
Better input = better output.

Train the brain ➜ improve the squat ➜ move with ease.
