Would you hang on a staircase?
I moved the TV over in my Airbnb so I could hang on the staircase....🐒
Happy Monday Crew!
If you are new here I send out these Newsletters every Monday with Fitness & Life tips, a FREE Workout (just for you, scroll down for it) & discounts to my favorite brands etc!. My name is Angela Gargano, 5x Ninja Warrior, Miss Fitness America 2016, Fitness Trainer with over 10+ years experience & creator of Pull-up Revolution Program that has helped over 500+ of my clients conquer their FIRST Pull-up!
On this weeks, Angela's weird and crazy, I didn't put potatoes under my armpits like I did last week...😅 BUT I did hang on my Airbnd staircase to "hang out" and it literally had the internet FREAKING out at me....DON'T break the TV!
And let me tell you no TV's were harmed during these hangs 💁🏻♀️...
So many people ask me... Angela...how long do you hang for? What are the benefits? Why are you even doing this! So I created a *NEW and improved hang challenge PDF here* with videos explanation, chances for prizes and more
To be honest, I started hanging to help my grip strength before competing on Ninja Warrior Again (your girl was OUT of Ninja Shape)....
But what I started to realize is that there is SO many other benefits to literally doing something as simple as hanging each day:
1️⃣ Decompression of the Spine: I am a "fitness trainer" but the majority of my business I am on the computer, hunched over, sitting... which puts a lot of pressure on the spine
2️⃣Improves Posture: Again from sitting, hunching, texting, hanging helps your posture allowing your shoulders to hang and increase your shoulder mobility
3️⃣ Simple Habit: This is also a Simple task that takes less than 1 minute a day, and in that time you are creating a small win and a small habit for yourself! Simple things like this can add up over time
4️⃣Hang your way to a pull-up: A pull-up can be super intimidating! But what most people don't realize is the first step conquering your pull-up is to be able to hang 🤷🏻♀️so instead of feeling like working on a pull-up needs to be hard or frustrating..just start with a hang, simple way to get one step closer to your goal!
5️⃣Improves Grip Strength: Grip Strength is a sign of overall health and longevity...better grip strength = LIVE LONGER -
So basically....
Hang your way to a Pull-up
Pull-up your way to a Longer Life 💁🏻♀️
In other news,
I am spending this week in Tulum, Mexico. Have any of you ever been here before? If so send me you recommendations!
I have never been here before so my boyfriend and I decided to take a week here to work remote and adventure each day.
It's not at ALL like I expected. Most people here are all about health and wellness and spiritually, the buildings are all super artistic and made of sticks, looking like tree-houses in the jungle
So far we explored:
- Three Cenotes: A Cenote refers to an underground chamber or cave which contains permanent water. In other words, it is a natural sinkhole where the ceiling of the cave has collapsed. The word Cenote, which is pronounced as “seh-no-tay”, is a Spanish conversion of the Yucatec Maya word “D’zonot” or “Ts’onot”.
- Did a Temazcal:
A temazcal is a ceremony steeped in Mexican heritage. It involves participants sitting in a traditional sweat lodge for health and therapeutic benefits. Ceremonies usually last for two or more hours and are typically led by a sort of spiritual leader called a shaman or temazcal
oh and of course went to the Tulum Jungle Gym (Which I am obsessed with).
