The physical benefits of exercise improving physical condition and fighting disease have long been established, and physicians always encourage staying physically active. Exercise is also considered vital for maintaining mental fitness, and it can reduce stress. Studies show that it is very effective at reducing fatigue, improving alertness and concentration, and at enhancing overall cognitive function. This can be especially helpful when stress has depleted your energy... or ability to concentrate. When stress affects the brain, with its many nerve connections, the rest of the body feels the impact as well. Or, if your body feels better, so does your mind. Exercise and other physical activity produce endorphins chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and also improve the ability to sleep, which in turn reduces stress. The ability to workout virtually has been a game changer for both us at Function Factory and our clients. We draw our inspiration by their ability to show up via ZOOM to workout in the safety and comfortsof their own homes. See more

It's that time of the year again when packing (preparing) the kids’ school lunches can get overwhelming. This is especially true during the pandemic. If you find yourself feeding your kids the same things everyday, try changing out the fruit they eat. Look to purchase seasonal fruits for an easy switch up. Swap out the juice for some water, or some fruit infused water. #FunctionFactory #sandiegofitness #sdfit #personaltrainer #trainthewayyouplay #workout #nutrition #motivation #mind #body #spirit #JERF #fullbodyworkout #healthiswealth #healthyrecipes #healthykidz #KidsFunction

While some of us are lazy at times, one reason we don't exercise isn't laziness but a fear brought on by the thought of exercising. Physical exertion can be scary if you haven't done it in a long time and, for some people, moving the body to the point of increased heart rate, heavy breathing, and excessive sweating may seem extremely daunting. So, what are you afraid of? 1. Fear of Injury... 2. Fear of Looking Like a Newbie 3. Fear of Pain 4.Fear of Sweating 5. Fear of Failure If you need help overcoming some of these fears associated with exercise, hire a personal trainer. A personal trainer will help guide you as you venture outside your comfort zone. Anytime you step outside your comfort zone, you're taking a risk. But, just the act of taking a risk can be all the success you need to keep you going. #FunctionFactory #sandiegofitness #sdfit #personaltrainer #trainthewayyouplay #workout #nutrition #motivation #30daychallenge #maintaindontgain #socialdistance #homeworkout #inhomeworkout #see10do10challenge #physicaldistance #quarantineworkouts

One thing we do know is that overall effects of COVID-19 has more layers than an onion. When you start peeling back the layers and one by one discard the different physical, mental, and behavioral short and long term effects, we begin to reach the heart of what we are trying to protect. And what do we find there? Essentially, we find the heart of us allwhich is our mind, body and spirit. And at every core (heart) of ourselves, we are all essentially the same. When it comes t...o our multi-faceted public health problem, we must use a multi-disciplinary approach. It’s not as simple as working on one thing. We must all come together as a society to make sure we are all healthy in mind, body and spirit. When sections of our communities are neglected, we will continue to see an unhealthy society. #FunctionFactory #sandiegofitness #mind #body #spirit @ Function Factory

Personal Training vs. Physical Therapy Understanding the Difference There are many types of health professionals to help you achieve your goals, including personal trainers and physical therapists. While you’ve likely heard of both, you may want to know the difference..... When to See a Physical Therapist If you’re experiencing limitations in movement due to an injury or pain, you should see a physical therapist. Physical therapists have the education and state certification required to diagnose an injury and develop a customized treatment plan to help you recover. When to See a Personal Trainer If you’ve been medically cleared to start a regular exercise program and you’d like expert advice in developing an exercise routine, you can work with a personal trainer to start on a fitness plan that meets your goals, needs and lifestyle. It’s important to note that a personal trainer is not qualified to diagnose an injury, unless the trainer is also a physical therapist. Therefore, if you’re experiencing any pain or discomfort, you should always see a physical therapist prior to beginning a work-out routine with a personal trainer. When to see both. Both personal trainers and physical therapists can help you get moving, and create a plan for reaching your health and fitness goals. A personal trainer and physical therapist may collaborate to help you improve your function and physical fitness level. If you’re experiencing pain, a physical therapist can help develop a safe care plan to help you regain function. After that, you may be able to work with a personal trainer to set and achieve further fitness goals. #FunctionFactory #sandiegofitness #sandiegophysicaltherapy ##sdfit #personaltrainer #trainthewayyouplay #functionalfitness #physicaltherapy #SDPT
