Hey friend!

Welcome back to sweat and yoga’s love the skin you’re in podcast.

Where we sweat for a workout and yoga to feel something new. Suncana Sonnenburg here – your host, lover of sweat and all the feels, sitcom junkie, hoop earring enthusiast and your realistic health and fitness bestie.

Health and fitness has been hijacked by the entertainment and media industry and we’re here to take it back so we can all love the skin we’re in and learn to listen to our bodies.

In today’s episode we talk about wheather or not the pill is the reason you are struggling w muscle gains or weight-loss, what you can do about it even if you want to stay on the pill, my experience with the pill, my body’s struggles and getting in tune with my body after coming off of the pill. We also go through some helpful things you can do when coming off the pill to assist your body and tune back in.

If you want to skip the gratitude I do at the beginning of the podcast and just jump right into : My story head to 9:48 in the show If you want to stay on the pill but make some changes to help your body gain more muscle/lose weight head to 23:00 in the show If you are coming off of the pill and want some tips to assist you /your body in the process head to 29:30 in the show.

#ExerciseHabit Challenge Day 8 : The One With the Mountain Climber

Hey Sweaty Friend! Climb that Mountain with a Mountain Climber Today

First thing first!

The KALE Yea Sweatshirt contest win by clicking here👇
https://sweatandyoga.comkaleyeacontest

And now onto your regularly scheduled programming ✌️
Welcome to the 31 day #exercisehabit challenge

Ze Mountain climber are legit my fave core exercise – seriously. Ever since I figured out how to ditch the booty pop {aka anterior tilt} I feel so much core connection when I bring that knee to elbow.

You should really feel the shoulder to core connection happen with these mountain climber bad boys so lets get to it- remember to tuck your tail sweaty friend and let’s get to it!

The thing with exercise is that there’s a very distinct pattern Charles Duhigg talks about in his book The Power of Habit

The Habit flow char goes : cue ➡️ habit ➡️ reward 🔄

So let’s take the time to create a sustainable habit.
The reason that habits tend to fail often times is that we put too many things on our plates at ones cause we try to #doallthethings at once!

But this year let’s take time to slow down and do one thing at a time that’s gonna help us get to our best selves and connect body mind and soul but in a #trendy way ya feels?

The problem with doing #allthethings is that we end up exhausting our willpower before we even have a chance to use it effectively – that’s why small changes like 5 moves a day work so well – it’s so small it tricks the brain into thinking “why not” and then it starts to crave it.

If you’ve bounced on and off the exercise wagon {2 weeks on to shredded abs – 3-4 weeks off laying on the couch} I promise you’re not lazy you’re just missing the important facets of habit building – So …

Let’s do it together shall we?

So the base play here is :

💦 Grab your printable here: https://sweatandyoga.com31dayexercisehabit
💦 Pick a cue that will set you off to do your habit daily
💦 Pick a space you will do the habit in
💦 Do the 5 moves all 31 days
💦 Come back for the bonus move to keep things interesting
💦 Track your progress
💦 Watch your body start to crave that morning movement

Here are you 5 non-negotiable moves base moves :

💪 Squats x10
💪 Burpees x10
💪 30 sec Plank
💪 Reverse Lunges x10/leg
💪 Curtsey Squats x10/leg

Make sure you mark it on your calendar or your bujo or the Sweat & Yoga Tracker you can grab here :

https://sweatandyoga.com31dayexercisehabit

And then come back daily for #allthehabitmoves

Alright girlfriend I’ll pull up a mat and start movin & catch ya next time so we can connect body mind & soul cause #trendy!

Relaxing Yoga Flow for Awareness 🙏 – #bcbc Week 3 #flowfriday

Let’s Talk all about Awareness in this Week’s #bodyconnectbookclub #flowfriday

Hey Sweaty Friend

However you got here girl! Welcome/ Welcome back!

So often awareness comes from the external world – can we take some time today to make it a bit more of an internal practice – ya know – really #connectgirl

I want you to think through the beginning of the practice – even keep your eyes closed –
think about each movement and word I am saying rather than just watching and following on the screen – be keenly aware of every movement – all of your muscles and that are engaging or stretching 💪

It takes more work to work the little muscles than we think don’t ya know eh? #socanadianeh

Before you jump into this class I would like for you to carve out a bit of time to #bodyconnect and answer these questions in your designated journal and then don’t forget to re-answer them once you have gone through the flow!

✨How do I feel in my body right now?
✨What’s stressing me out?
✨What’s going well for me right now?
✨How is my body awareness & my breath?

Alright girlfriend! I will see you on your mat so together we can get to know & love your body mind & soul by making movement fun 🤸‍♂️

Body Awareness- A Story of the Vestibular System- Week 3 of #bcbc

Let’s Talk Body Awareness and the Vestibular System

Hey Sweaty Friend!

However you got here girl! Welcome/ Welcome back!

This is more #storytime of a time when awareness became super important in well- basically-survival 💁 – {to put it in as dramatic of terms as possible 😏 }

My other half had an issue arise when he hit his head and because of his impeccable body awareness when he is on the ice playing hockey he was able to know enough and know that he wasn’t ready to play yet.

Jill Miller- {my wonderful teacher} boldly states {in almost every training I’ve taken or assisted her in}

‘you can give someone the zipcode of where it hurts and the where the pain is but only YOU know the exact address”

Let’s spend the next while decluttering all of the stuff that has made us less aware of what’s going on- and cultivate that impeccable awareness of our bodies – cause you know- life or death situations #dramaqueenoverhere #imkiddingbutimnot 💁

Alright girlfriend! I will see you on your mat Friday so together we can get to know & love your body mind & soul by making movement fun 🤸‍♂️

Hey #sweatyfriend

The KALE Yea Sweatshirt contest win by clicking here👇
https://sweatandyoga.comkaleyeacontest

Ever had an AH-AH moment about connection? Well buckle your seats for another! ?

In this flow we play around with some of the Fascial Lines described in Monday’s talk  ??‍♀️help create some of those Ah-Ah moments. Some Spinal Line work to help you picture some of the connections within our bodies. Like HELLO- opposite shoulder to opposite hip! With how intertwined we are it kinda becomes a which came first the chicken or the egg scenario {the shoulder or the hip?} What do you think?

Clearly I have a weaker shoulder and a stronger shoulder ?‍♀️ – do you?? Find out more about your shoulder & Down Dog on April 17!

For now – pull up a mat & let’s sweat & yoga. ??‍

P.S. As you listen to my horse breathing in some of the shoulder moves as we link movement to breath – think about how the diaphragm is entangled with the shoulders and how they can affect each other via those spinal lines!
