10 Questions About Yoga and Fitness...

1. Can you give any suggestions on good yoga moves or an entire practice for sore muscles?

Sadie: If you have soreness, it means your muscles are still in repair mode, and you will want to wait a day before doing any more strenuous exercise. Your fascia, or coverings to the muscles, and interwebbing, need heat to be able to stretch, and this is caused by working out, something you do not want to do while still in muscle teardown.

I would suggest a restorative or Yin Yoga practice that targets breathing, passive inversions (hips on a block, legs up the wall), twists, and any other passive poses that gently stimulate the connective tissues (not the muscles) and keep the body cleansing out and building lean muscle mass.

2. I have issues with my wrists. They don’t hurt, they are just weak (or inflexible, I’m not sure) and it negatively impacts any inversions. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Sadie: Try using your fingertips MUCH more anytime your hands are down, and plant the outer ring of your palms down evenly (not relying on the heel of your hands or outer hands). This will all help build your wrist strength.

3. What are your favorite poses to combat the winter blues and to get warmer in the cold weather?

Sadie: Any yoga or Shred moves that warm you are great for the winter. My favori

What Market Research Questions should I ask?

What Market Research Questions should I ask?

1. Who is our ideal customer? These are typically demographic market research questions such as gender, education level, income level or location.  You can expand these questions to find out your customer’s occupation or if your ideal customer is a parent, pet owner. Don’t skimp on demographics or psychographics.  If anything,  get really creative with them. You might consider doing a survey with nothing but profiling questions that include where your customers shop, or where they prefer to eat.  It’s critical to know as much as possible about your ideal customer so that you can begin focusing your marketing decisions around their preferences.

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is a measure of the force that your heart uses to pump blood around your body.

How is blood pressure measured?

Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and is given as two figures:

• systolic pressure – the pressure when your heart pushes blood out
• diastolic pressure – the pressure when your heart rests between beats

For example, if your blood pressure is "140 over 90" or 140/90mmHg, it means you have a systolic pressure of 140mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 90mmHg.

As a general guide:

• ideal blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg
• high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher
• low blood pressure is considered to be 90/60mmHg or lower
