@liz.cap: Before my brain can brain, we move. 🧠 Movement doesn’t just wake up your muscles. It changes what’s happening upstairs too. Even a short bout of movement increases cerebral blood flow and physiological arousal, while movements that require balance, coordination, and control engage brain networks involved in attention, motor planning, and executive functioning. So think of this 5-minute Pilates flow as a little brain + body warm-up: 1️⃣ Pedal out 2️⃣ Plank to pike 3️⃣ Plank leg lifts 4️⃣ Squat heel-to-toe 5️⃣ Squat pulses One minute each. Five minutes total. And no, five minutes of Pilates isn’t going to magically “hack” your brain. But movement is one of the simplest ways to shift your body from sleepy to alert and give your brain some sensory and motor input before you ask it to focus, plan, and problem-solve. Move first. Then we can brain. 🧠 @Bloom Nutrition ✨#pilates #Fitness #yoga #neurodivergent #psychology
