Being #active is very important to us to when it comes to maintaining a #healthylifestyle (which at our Oro Valley #SouthernArizona #pilates studio usually involves a solid #reformerpilates class : ) Equally as important is getting adequate rest and #sleep in order to refuel and be ready for action. Research shows that poor sleep has immediate negative effects on your hormones, exercise performance and brain function. We have gathered our top 3 tips for a better night's sleep:

Increase Bright Light Exposure During The Day This helps keep your #circadianrhythm healthy and on track, in addition to improving daytime energy and nighttime sleep quality and duration. #Exercise Regularly — But Not Before Bed This is due to the stimulatory effect of exercise, which increases alertness and hormones like epinephrine and adrenaline. Although daily exercise is key for a good night's sleep, performing it too late in the day may cause sleep problems.

Relax and Clear Your Mind in the Evening Strategies include listening to relaxing music, reading a book, taking a hot bath, #meditating, deep breathing and visualization. Try a variety to see what works best for you! Check out more tips here: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/17-tips-to-sleep-better#section18

As we gear up for the #weekend, we're contemplating what #healthy #outdoor #activities may be fun to do in the #SouthernArizona area. Some ideas may be new - and some may be tried and true and worth a repeat visit. Either way, getting a little #exercise in, coupled with some #freshair, sounds like good times to us! Check out our top picks for a weekend outing: Maybe a brisk hike through #CatalinaStatePark will get the blood flowing? With more than 5,500 acres of foothills and canyons, this park is home for more than 150 species of birds - and is a prime location for #hiking, birding and #biking. 11570 N Oracle Rd, Tucson, AZ 85737 https://azstateparks.com/catalina/ Or perhaps #ColossalCaveMountainPark may be the perfect fit, especially if seeking a bit of a respite from the hot summer desert heat; the cave tends to be around a cool 70 degrees. Maybe check out a trail ride on #horseback, or visit the #museum to learn more about the indigenous #wildlife, see a butterfly #garden or the desert tortoise exhibit. The variety is enough to keep everyone in the #family excited about the outing! 16721 E Old Spanish Trail, Vail, AZ 85641 https://colossalcave.com/ For more great #outdoor #activity ideas, check out this USA Today article. Happy #fitnessfriday!
