It’s already summer! More hours of sunshine, warmth… it even seems like we have more time to do everything we set out to do. At this time of year, you always want to get out of the house, make plans with friends or simply enjoy the environment and nature.
It is the perfect time to practice water sports or in a group, on the beach with the sea breeze or in the mountains breathing pure air, although many of you may be lazier to exercise, because it is very hot, you sweat more…
(more…)Do you like swimming? And running? Then at Body and Mind Mallorca, we have the ideal sport for you, the SwimRun.
A hard sport that combines swimming and running. Yes, yes, as you read it. As if we were talking about an aquathlon, you will go from swimming in the open sea to running on the hard tarmac of the road and with the same clothes!
This sport has been practiced in the Nordic countries for more than ten years and today, in Body and Mind, we discover this Viking modality that has come to our country to stay.
(more…)I’m sure that many of you have begun to exercise or have continued with your sports routine during this quarantine, despite having to practice it at home.
Some of you have done it to fill those hours of the day that you do not know what to do. Others will have done it to move around a little bit, since being at home for so many hours your body is crying out for a bit of movement. And we hope that many to continue with that sport habit that you had already acquired before all this will pass.
You can already see the good weather, the summer is coming. More hours of sunshine, higher temperatures… And what do we like most about this time of year? Getting out of the house! And, finally we can do it!
After being confined for two months, our body was crying out for some movement and to be able to stretch our legs again. Not only going up and down the stairs or walking down the corridor or in the garden of the house, but also being able to go for a run, on a bicycle, take long walks along the seashore or in the countryside…
Tired of training in the same place and with the same routines for months? Body and Mind is pleased to introduce you to an innovative training system that was developed by the US Navy SEALS.
A common and unrealistic behavior is to see celebrities return to their normal state after pregnancy. At Body & Mind, we know that this leads many women to question their own abilities to regain their figure, while putting pressure on themselves with excessive exercise boards too soon and unhealthy diets.
Wanting to be like before, just one month after giving birth is totally illogical and also not healthy at all.
(more…)In recent years, there has been more and more talk about the danger of increased cholesterol for people and the importance of fighting it with a correct diet and above all with regular physical exercise.
It is very common to think “it’s not going to happen to me”, until, in the best of cases, the tests are triggered and warn us that we are putting ourselves in danger, or worse, that our own body warns us with a scare.
Getting back in shape after the holidays is a challenge we have to face at least twice a year, after the Christmas excesses and before or after the summer holidays.
It’s notorious that most good intentions end up being just intentions. Laziness, excuses, work schedules, are just some of the reasons that lead us to abandon our intentions shortly after starting our good intentions to get in shape.
One of the most common problems, in different age groups, is knee injury.
Sudden movements in sports, overloading due to work or joint wear over the years are just a few examples of the causes that can most easily lead to knee injuries.
It must be taken into account that the knee is one of the joints most subject to trauma because it supports the weight of the body every day, the ones we use the most for any movement in sports and, on other occasions, the one we do not move enough when we reach a certain age, thus making it difficult to lubricate the joint correctly.
One of the advantages of living on an island like Menorca, and if you are an exercise lover, is the chance to enjoy almost all year round practicing your favorite sport outdoors.

And are you ready to face this challenge?

Popular races have become fashionable in all Spanish cities. They are the perfect excuse to exercise outdoors, with friends and often for a good cause. They are also the perfect setting to test yourself and know how far you can go.
(more…)Did you know the 50 are the new 40? The golden age has become for many a new stage in their lives, but not from a negative point of view, quite the opposite. It is time to set new goals and live new experiences.
Remember that age is just a number and everything depends on your mentality and how you think about your life. Attitude is very important!
