Classroom based session instead of the fitness suite yesterday morning for the Wallace High School girls ....ahead of today's Cup match v Foyle 2pm at Garvey 💪🤍💙 Delivering this session I alluded to the fact that all the variables for team performance are applicable to any part of life, especially when they enter adulthood and the business world #teamwork  #togetherness #allforoneandoneforall Andrea Harrower #healthandfitness #healthandfitness #healthandwellness #performancecoaching

@nanaslivingroominc In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month We orchestrated a bike ride in NYC’s #CentralPark Starting at 57st and Ave of Americas and making our way up to Harlem 110st and back to 57st. Before heading back to the retur the bikes, we removed our footwear and sat in the grass to reflect how does bike riding help or if it helps with our mental health? What was expressed was: As some was riding they felt 1. Free of thoughts 2. Didn’t feel held captive by every day thoughts. 3. It was a Mind clearing experience 4. Lifted the weight of evervdav off of them 5. Causes you to be present In general it is Social Interaction: Group rides and cycling clubs provide opportunities for social engagement, which can combat feelings of loneliness and isolation. Overall, bike riding is a holistic activity that supports both physical and mental well-being. Stay In tune with me and @nanaslivingroominc for our next ride out in September.

What a great article from Bob Gailey describing the history of the Össur + CAF Running and Mobility Clinics. 🦾🦿

As a 20+ year veteran of the O&P industry and the spouse of para athlete Sarah Reinertsen, I'm all too familiar with the challenges amputees face in obtaining access to the recreational prosthetics they need to live normal, active lives. And, to quote a popular movie from the '70s, "I'm mad as Hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Which is why I joined the team at Levitate and it's why I started Running is a Right, a program of the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation. The mission of Running is a Right is simple: to provide pediatric amputees with recreational prosthetics and the training to use them properly. Period. On July 29th, Running is a Right hosted an event with Shriners Children's in Salt Lake City. It was our largest event to date, with roughly 80 people total in attendance, including representatives from Kizik, who provided free shoes for all the Shriners kiddos. Please take 2 minutes to watch this video recap of the SLC event (feels guaranteed!) and reach out if you're interested in getting involved with Running is a Right. #running #recreation #runninglife #runningcommunity #sport #sports #recreation #adaptive #adaptivesports #amputee #amputeelife #amputeestrong #amputees #amputeelife #limbloss #limbdifference #prosthetic #prosthetics #prostheticleg #prosthetist #diversity #diversityinclusion #diversityandinclusion #diversityequityinclusion #diversitymatters #inclusion #inclusive #inclusivity #inclusionmatters #equity #equityandinclusion #equitymatters

For some, completing a marathon is the pinnacle of achievement. But as Jason Karp, an exercise physiologist and running coach says, “Everyone thinks the marathon is the Holy Grail, when a lot of people should really be doing the 5k”. At parkrun, we just think it’s great to be active outdoors together as a community. Here's 10 reasons why we love the 5k distance 👉 http://parkrun.me/zp4s7 🌳 #loveparkrun

Today, we're diving into a sport that's not only fun but also packed with health benefits - golf. Whether you're a professional golfer or just starting out, this post will shed light on how golf can significantly improve both physical and mental well-being, especially for those with disabilities. The Benefits of Golf: Physical Health: Golf enhances longevity, improves cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic profiles, strengthens muscles, and improves balance. It's a comprehensive workout that engages the entire body, promoting overall health and vitality. Mental Health: Beyond its physical benefits, golf offers significant mental health advantages. It boosts self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-worth, fostering a sense of accomplishment and community. For individuals with disabilities, these benefits are particularly impactful, as they often face unique challenges in finding activities that cater to their needs. Inclusivity and Adaptation: Advances in adaptive technology, golf course design, and rule modifications have made golf more accessible to people with disabilities. This inclusivity not only allows for participation but also fosters a sense of belonging and independence. Overcoming Barriers: Despite its numerous benefits, golf faces several barriers to participation among individuals with disabilities. These include accessibility issues, lack of awareness about adaptive equipment, and societal attitudes. However, initiatives like free courses, social interactions, and supportive environments are crucial in overcoming these barriers and encouraging regular participation. Adaptive Sports and Mental Health: Research has shown that engaging in adaptive sports, including golf, significantly improves the mental quality of life. Participants in adaptive sports programs experience a positive shift in their mental well-being, highlighting the profound impact of such activities on mental health. Golf is more than just a sport; it's a gateway to improved health, a sense of community, and empowerment for individuals with disabilities. By breaking down barriers and embracing the green, we can transform lives and foster a more inclusive society. So, whether you're looking to improve your health, boost your mental well-being, or simply enjoy the outdoors, consider giving golf a try. You might just find a new passion and a supportive community along the way. www.GreensGuild.com #GolfForWellness #MentalHealthMatters #DisabilityInclusion #AdaptiveSports #Veteran #PTSD #Depression #Anxiety #Community
