Five Fitness Mistakes, Chair Massage is not one.

We are all familiar with the challenges that come during stressful times. With all the recent stress of the world, now is a good time to move your body and get out and enjoy summer weather! Making the decision to be healthier can be difficult, and if you don’t see consistent progress from your efforts, you can feel discouraged and less motivated to keep trying.
There are some common mistakes that people can make when on the road to fitness, and below are five common errors that could be negatively impact on your fitness goals:
- Don’t walk around while carrying weights. Most assume that carrying weights can add extra resistance to your workout and can build strength in your arms while moving your legs. However, carrying weights can alter your posture and keep you from performing your cardio workout well and in a safe way. Try keeping strength and cardio training separate and focus on one at a time to develop the best results from each.
- Do NOT only do cardio workouts. Yes, cardio is wonderful for your body and can burn calories and fat, but your body needs more than running, elliptical, and other cardio exercises. Strength training is essential for improving your metabolism, preventing injury, and increasing bone density. Also, it catalyzes the burning of calories and can be a huge turning point in your weight loss journey.
- Stretching is important – don’t skip it. Most assume that their workout is done once they have completed their set, run a certain number of miles, or accomplished their intended goal. However, stretching is vital to your workout routine to warm your body up before working out, decrease muscle pain after a workout, and prevent injuries during your workout.
- Quick fixes aren’t sustainable. We can be impatient when it comes to fitness and often want to see results fast. However, crash diets and extreme exercise programs can lead to false expectations and unstable outcomes. The results that last come from embracing a healthy lifestyle. Sure, you can lose a lot of weight quickly by eating too few calories and exercising way too much, but you are very likely to gain weight back once the crash diet ends and once you fail to complete your crazy exercise regimen.
- Social media is not a reliable trainer. Tiktok, Instagram, and blogs can be inspiring and helpful, but they should not be used as stand-alone sources for health advice. Many programs that focus on one particular muscle can often result in injury and overuse. Also, programs should be personalized to fit the needs and goals of each individual and should not be generalized to the entire population. Be careful what you read and credit as true; your fitness aspirations and requirements are unique.
Chair massage, yoga, and other wellness programs can help decrease stress both personally and professionally, and can help you meet your health and fitness goals as well!

This time of year, it can become a major elephant in the room. We all do it. We can all see it, maybe even smell it. We feel embarrassed about it. What’s the big deal? Why are we all so embarrassed about sweating? Sure, we know that it’s virtually unavoidable and that there is an important reason for it.
You probably know that sweat is natural and that it cools us down, but did you know:
- Sweating can save you from kidney stones. It’s medically proven that regular sweating helps flush your body of impurities that cause kidney stones to develop. When you sweat, your body demands more hydration—fluids that help to flush your body of salt and calcium, which form kidney stones when built up.
- It can help clear up your acne! Acne is a result of a buildup in your pores. When you sweat, your pores open up and release a lot of that buildup. As long as you clean your skin of those impurities before the pores close them back in, sweat is your friend!
- It rids your body of impurities (including modern pollutants!). Most people know that sweating lets natural toxins leave your body. What you may not know, however, is that sweat also can effectively eliminate harmful pollutants like BPA from our bodies!
- Sweat or Neosporin? Sweating can also act as a natural antibiotic ointment! Sweat releases dermcidin, an antibiotic agent, from your pores. It helps to attack infections in minor cuts on your skin.
- It can improve your mood. Sweating is usually induced by exercise, which releases endorphins in your body. Endorphins help control pain, stress, frustration, and many other things that get in the way of your positivity. Exercising (and sweating while you do it) helps to put a smile on your face!
Looks like our elephant in the room is actually something worth talking about! Don’t avoid the sweat; let it help you!

Don’t Stress; Relax with more chair massage
Photo by Alicia Jones
While many people recognize that stress can be detrimental to one’s health, it can also potentially lead to more severe issues than the commonly known results of stress: including sleep irregularity, irritability, and headaches. Stress affects us both physically and emotionally, and can even have long term effects. For this reason, many individuals as well as companies have opted for wellness programs such as chair massage, yoga, and walking clubs to minimize the effects of stress.
Laughter, an amazing medicine for “the blues,” can not only make us feel better but can also significantly reduce stress and mental strain. Laughter can also boost your immune system and help diminish pain WHILE boosting your mood. Laughter can actually help us feel physically better as well as emotionally better.
By seeking out positive situations of relaxation that are conducive to laughter, you can significantly reduce stress in your life and improve your health (while also working against a common precursor to cardiovascular disease). So, go attend a funny movie, get lunch with some hilarious friends, and find ways to relax at work (especially when the environment is experiencing a particularly stressful season). Laugh it off – it’ll do you a world of good!
If you’re looking for a way to relax and create a less-stressful environment upon your return to YOUR office, we would love to serve your health and wellness “kneads.”

Post work out recovery with chair massage
When getting back into the swing of exercise, it’s important to take note of how your body is responding your workouts. Many people experience soreness when jumping into a more intense exercise routine or just
starting back up after a break. This is completely normal and happens to most people, however, it can be a real pain in the neck (or back). Sore spots on the body can cause complications throughout the day that can make everything feel harder to accomplish. Chair massage can ease muscle pain, relieve back pain, AND increase your productivity!
Have a sore lower back? This can especially cause issues when you’re sitting at your desk during work hours. Trying to focus on your work can feel like a hassle with a constant pain in your lower back. Do you have pain in your legs or arms? This can be exacerbated when moving around or standing for too long, or by lifting or carrying heavy objects. You may try to ignore these annoying pains throughout the day, but chances are they will still bother you as you go about your work day.
The Best Solution
When your muscles feel tender and sore, the best solution to help ease that soreness is actually more exercise. That being said, it is not the best idea to complete intense workouts when you have soreness, but instead engaging in light workouts to help your muscles recover, such as stretching, yoga, or swimming. These will help ease your muscles soreness and should reduce some of the tenderness as well.
Yes, it is actually possible to help alleviate some of the soreness from a new workout. Experts say by that staying hydrated before, during, and after the workout you are already taking an important step to reduce the pain later on. Other helpful ideas include eating a healthy diet that is high in complex carbohydrates and protein. Eating high protein and carbohydrate meals before and after your workout will help give your muscles the energy it needs to heal.
Wellness programs like chair massage aid in recovery
Coming to work and experiencing sore muscles can put a damper on your productivity for the day. This can then lower your overall mood, and possibly even cause you to run late for deadlines and struggle to get your work done. The quickest way to help ease the pain of sore muscles and return more of your productivity is with a mobile chair massage from Corporate Massage Kneads. With experts who are trained in helping reduce problem pain areas and decrease stress, you’ll be feeling better in no time.
