Journey On Relaxation

Just want to go ahead and welcome any of the students in the class that is reading my reflection this week!

The relaxation exercise came at a perfect time for me. I spent most the day doing reading for class and my discussion post since I wasn't able to do much reading the last couple of days. After I finished with my homework for the day I decided to go on another bike ride. I went on my usual morning ride, but really love to try and get two rides in during the weekend. It especially helps me to just unwind through the weekend and prepare myself mentally for the coming week. However, since I was able to do two rides today after the second one my arms and hands have been pretty sore since I held my arms in a new position on the handlebars. Long story short I finished the ride and went ahead and listened to the relaxation exercise and it was perfect that the main focus was trying to bring blood into my arms and hands. I was able to do this by suggesting to my body mentally for it to start to pool there. By the time I reached the end of the exercise and mentally sent the blood away from my hands and arms the soreness left as well!

First Post!

I have initially created this blog for an assignment in one of my classes this semester. However, I will also continue posting my workouts and nutrition tips even after this term of classes is over!
