Mike Chang | Flow60 on Instagram: "I do these 12 stretching exercises every day to increase my energy levels by releasing tension in my entire backside. Our spinal column is where majority of our energy comes from before it distributes into our limbs. If we want our energy levels to be high, we have to make sure the spine is loose and flexible. While there are many exercises that can release tension in the spine area, I found these 12 to be the most simple and equally effective."
Breanne Kallonen on Instagram: "🚩Weight gain around your midsection is a red flag.🚩 Carrying excess abdominal weight, often referred to as visceral fat, poses significant health risks. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which lies just under the skin, visceral fat surrounds vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines. This type of fat is metabolically active, releasing harmful chemicals and hormones that can lead to chronic inflammation. Consequently, individuals with excess abdominal fat are at a higher risk of developing serious health conditions including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and certain cancers. Additionally, abdominal obesity is linked to insulin resistance and can negatively impact liver function, leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (

Alyssa Kuhn DPT | Osteoarthritis Expert on Instagram: "Arthritic fingers? 🖐🏼 The goal is to maintain mobility and strength in each of the small joints of the fingers ☝🏽 The way your hand and fingers function is critical to many daily tasks so it’s important to keep as much as you can. In these three exercises the goal is to focus on mobility while building up some of the small muscles that help to control the motion ✅ The key is making sure these don’t flare pain.

Kim Vopni - The Vagina Coach on Instagram: "TIGHT DOES NOT EQUAL STRONG Many people with urinary incontinence or organ prolapse or anal incontinence often think they need to tighten things up but so often the opposite is true. 👛 A tight muscles is a weak muscle and tightness in the pelvic floor can contribute to incontinence, prolapse, pain, constipation, and dyspareunia (painful seggs). We need to strengthen weak muscles but first we need to lengthen them. 👛 Lengthening and releasing tension is arguably more important than the strength work because by releasing tension we allow for more force potential. 👛 One of my fave ways to release tension in the pelvic floor is with a pool noodle. 👛 Sit on a soft surface chair or couch to start and see how it feels then over a week or so you ca
