Positive Vibes Daily Challenge Fun Wednesday--Hanging Around Upside Down ;)

Part of my choice in becoming a personal trainer and wellness coach was to try to help make people feel better and enjoy life more. While a lot of what I do deals with the physical, so much of total health involves the mental, as well. That is one of the reasons why I think the brand new daily challenge by @positivesteem is such a wonderful thing! Who cares if you have a hot body if you cannot laugh and find a bit of joy in life every day? ;)

Wednesday is all about the fun, so today I'm flipping around to take care of my body from a different angle--on the inversion table! Not only is it great to stretch out your spine and bring oxygen to the brain, but I think it is kind of fun, too. How often do you get to hang upside down as an adult? Probably very rarely, though children do it regularly. I know I definitely need to incorporate it into my wellness routine a bit more. It's also a fantastic way to take a few moments and chill out in the midst of a busy day.

As if it wasn't fun enough on it's own, I brought my little friend from @barbara-orenya to work again today. Blue turkey enjoyed this a bit more than our last trip to the gym when we ran intervals on the treadmill. It's good to have a friend around when you are using the inversion table to give you a boost in case you get stuck. ;)

And if you really want to laugh, try taking selfies while dangling upside down from your ankles. It definitely took a few tries to get some that weren't completely unflattering!

Though Wednesday is coming to an end here in my neck of the woods, I hope you all found a bit of fun in your day. Definitely check out the #positivechallenge and @positivesteem if you need a little light in your life!

*Disclaimer--if you have certain health problems (specifically high blood pressure), make sure to consult a physician before using an inversion table.

It really looks like a fun work out. That's good because you are burning calories and at the same time having a great time. Hope we can try to make our routine more fun. Thank you for taking part in the positive vibes daily challenge.

Thank you for checking out my fun little post. I hope there are many days of fun and positive vibes to come! :)

I do hope so too not only for you but for all of us at the Steemit community. Don't forget that it is Hope Friday today.

Too funny, you and the blue turkey.

@dksart has been on me for years about using the inversion table more. Apparently if he had drawn me a cute blue turkey like Barbara's maybe I would have made it a habit before now. ;)

lol, I had a friend that was a skydiver who had one and I would use it on occasion. I wish I had one now. I sure could use it.

We have one at home and at two of the gyms I work out of, so I have no good excuse not to use it!

Oh I love doing fun stuff like this!! Why can't we play more as adults!! Its so much easier getting in shape doing fun things, some of which were normal to do when we were younger.

Very true! When you think of basic human movements, "playing" is essentially how we are supposed to move! Climbing, crawling, squatting as we explore, running around--it all adds up to make a great workout without even realizing it sometimes. ;)

Keep it up my dear friend! Congratulations

That is sooooooooooo cool, I want to try it 🌸💖🌸

It takes a little getting used to, but once you ease into it and build up your time it can feel really good! I had a client years ago who would hang every day for 7 minutes, so he put a TV upside down so he could watch it while he stretched. 🤣

Typical man, couldn't hang without TV for 7 minutes.............must of been some small TV too, lol.
