210/365 Practice Makes (insert activity) Perfect

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Whether it is yoga, running, kickboxing, or whatever activity you've picked up, you have to work at it to get better (this is why yoga is called a "practice").

When you perform an exercise for the first time, you feel awkward; the movement is difficult. Try it again a few minutes later and it's easy. This phenomenon is known as "muscle memory." While the jury is still out on how exactly it works, it is believed that after you have performed a certain movement, your muscle fibers, neurons, and brain build connections that help you move without thinking about it.

Allow me to harp on proper form again. Old habits die hard. It is difficult to change from bad form to good form if you've been doing bad form for awhile. Learn it the right way the first time.

In health,

Lauren
