Observe, learning a new exercise, or improving on one takes….ta-da…Observation.
Humans imitate, right? And Observational Learning (as it’s called) is a powerful mode of acquiring information. And it’s really the most efficient, natural, instictive mode…watch and learn. Whatever your goal, a basic squat or press…or more advanced moves…don’t over-intellectualize it, go back to toddler-learning….see it, learn it, do it.
The steps in Observational Learning:
1) Attention: know what to attend to
2) Retention: remember it (which includes visualizing oneself doing it, succeeding)
3) Motor Reproduction: retrieve it
4) Motivation: prioritize it
Example:
Watch this
Then practice for 2 weeks and do this
Now do that with your CF goals! Rock on!
CELERY! Yep, that often overlooked, underestimated veggie. Merely reduced to a vehicle for guzzling hummus or playing second fiddle to the hotwing. No way.
Celery is serious. Cancer fighting, cholesterol reducing, anti-inflammatory, and on and on. Read more here. (and maybe it holds some “comfort” food properties if you remember it shmeared with PB in your school cafeteria?!)
