Muscle Of The Week... Articularis Genu

Hi There

 This week's muscle is a tough one again... It is so small but not less important. It is a stabilizing muscle so that is it's function. It is also situated in the knee. I can not add to this, But we have learned that the knee is a complicated joint with lots of working parts!

 Another Word we can add to our medical vocabulary ...

 Genu- which means Knee

Articularis Genu 

Also I want to give an idea of where the muscle is and what it's functions are. I understand not everybody wants to know anatomy and such, but my goal is not to teach you anatomy but just provide a bit more information of the muscles. 

 Thank You 
Keep Moving until next time👋

Getting Personal... Training Hard

Image
Hi There I am sorry for disappearing... This last week was hectic. It reminded me of my humanity... I am going to get personal; but don't get use to it. This is not a "Dear Diary" blog. But I think it might help with what this blogging adventure of mine is about; which is to encourage and change our mindset on movement. I am not what you would call an typical athlete. In fact my body build and background does not "fit" the usual attributes of an athlete. That said, I love running. I do cross country competitively, but I compete only against myself. This last few weeks I trained really hard and I got selected for my Province. I ran in my Provincial clothes  and I have never been so proud to wear the Daisy of AGN. I did not expect to get selected.  It made me think that we think we can not do something, but that we are actually capable. We just need to train. Everything comes with training. We train our kids how to be polite and eat ect. We train our brains...

Chooseday

Hi There It is Chooseday Tuesday time.The second instalment! Today we will talk about choosing the hard way or the smart way. Please feel free to also add to discussion by commenting below!  Hard  What is the hard way? What is considered hard? I mean what is hard for one person might not be for another. But for the purpose of this piece let us define "hard" as an abstract concept as it is.  Smart  Again we have an abstract concept. But I do believe that this has more of consistent meaning. What one sees as smart mostly means the same thing. Let's just say that it has to have ingenuity to be considered smart.    Now on to our tasks of deciding which is better. Can we do both? Like in last week? Can you do it the hard and smart way?  To be truly honest some things are both!  This was put before me by my Mentor. There is always a hard or smart way. The smart way may be hard, but the hard way is never smart.  Before I make a de...

Week 4 #2020Think Big, Start Small

Image
Hi There  What we do today has an impact in our future. We all know this. We remember this with the "big" things; but it is also true for all the little/small things we do. Like drinking more water, eating better, moving more than usual. It is in the small changes that we make where our big successes comes from. When we think big it overwhelms us, but that is the big picture not the process or journey towards our success.When we reach success; people don't ask about how you got there. You are just seen as successful.But there is ALWAYS a path ,Journey ,Process that was followed and it is NEVER easy or WITHOUT STRUGGLE, FAILURE PLATO's Etc. This Journey is for you and what you can achieve being balanced and healthy throughout your life.  Always keep the big picture in mind;but focus on the process, the journey.  Start Analyzing the small things you do that prevents success? How can you change it? What Small thing can you do to make a big impact on your ...
