  • S2E4 - Belly Dancing vs. The Robot

    S2E4 - Belly Dancing vs. The Robot
    Jan 28 2021
    Are you a dancer? What style is your favorite: ballroom, ballet, swing, breakdancing, or something else? Dancing is an expression of self; an artistic display of one’s emotions without using words. Dancing is also a useful analogy for moving through life. (Gracefully, we hope!) Every aspect of movement is connected to your posture and therefore your back. In this podcast we discuss these connections and explore through a short exercise how you can begin to move differently in life by repositioning your body and your mind. Don’t forget to watch the YouTube video this week on 3 Movements to Improve the Health of Your Back/Spine! Thanks for listening to the #GateofLifepodcast by #MyMetroMedicine! Have a blessed day!

    S2E3 - Stand Up for Yourself
    Jan 21 2021
    How you stand tells the rest of the world a whole lot about who you are: your level of #confidence, your #innerstrength, your #comfortlevel, your #emotions. Everything about you is displayed in how you stand in this life. That is why #posture is such an important starting point in 2021, the #YearofRecovery. In order to stand tall and stand with full confidence, we need to have the strength necessary to do so. If you haven’t practiced the strength exercises for your back this week, go to our YouTube channel after listening to this podcast and start building the foundation for your confidence so you can stand up for yourself, no matter the challenge you encounter in 2021.

  • S2E2 - Sit Up Straight

    S2E2 - Sit Up Straight
    Jan 14 2021
    It’s the second week in 2021, are you back to normal yet? Of course not!! But at least I hope you are preparing yourself to be. This week’s podcast is about teaching you to apply the posture techniques taught in our YouTube video last week titled “Fix Your Posture” (link to channel below for other videos too) so that you can focus better and be more efficient while you work, drive, or watch TV. (I don’t imagine that last one requires much effort though...LOL) Those aches and pains you have are not going away anytime soon either if your posture isn’t any good. So, follow the easy exercise in this podcast, keep practicing it, and you will be prepared for even more sitting (Yay! Not…), at least until this pandemic has passed. Thanks for listening to the #GateofLifepodcast by #mymetromedicine! Your #1 source for living a better life every single day. Have an blessed day!
