FUNCTION RUN @ THE BEACH

FUNCTION RUN @ THE BEACH

In addition to traveling to clients homes to work one on one with them, we also can meet @ selected locations. One of my favorite locations is Coronado Beach. It has an expansive sandy beach, with sand dunes just calling our names to run up and down. This morning I had a session with my client Rhonda, and she has agreed to share her experience with all of you.
GO RHONDA!
Warming up with Cats and Dogs and Downward Dog
Arm Circles
Now for the fun! We started with a walk down the beach, Barefoot to give our feet the best workout, which in turn allows the load bearing and gait muscles of the hips,knees and feet to work at their best.
Then we ran up and down those Dunes.
You can always find a place for step-ups. Lets get those hip-flexors working!
Thanks Rhonda... Lets do it again next weekend. See you on Saturday.

Promoting a Movement Based Life

Promoting a Movement Based Life You have heard it before; sitting is not good for you! We all know sitting is not good for us but most of us spend our days sitting for most of our day. As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit. So I challenge you to change that, think of ways to increase movement throughout the day.  Stand up when you are working on your computer (stand on both feet with weight equal) Sit down on t...

Vegan Lasagna

Vegan Lasagna This is my go to recipe for Lasagna, it is gluten free, dairy free, and meat free. Since it is summertime I made a fresh low cook tomato sauce, in colder months I would extend the cooking time of this sauce to yield a depth of flavor. For a warm summer night this was delicious.  First I sautéed the mushrooms onions and garlic - then I add tomato paste and canned tomatoes. I love these tomatoes I find them at Whole Foods. While the sauce cooks a bit I sauté grated zucchini and frozen chopped spinach until there is no moisture left. To make the creamy filling we crumble organic firm tofu, vegan cheese,onion powder, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, chopped fresh italian parsley,salt and pepper and flax meal eggs. Assembly is next with sauce on bottom of pan, followed with uncooked noodles, cheese mixture, veggies, sauce and repeat. I didn't precook the noodles and it turned out just fine. We did not get a picture of the final product, th...
