Fitness Magic

Fitness Magic

Fitness Magic is simply the magic related to the physical fitness/physical body care and physical activity/movement of the body for magical purposes. Gym life, and physical activity is quite a big part of my everyday. So, I wanted to deep dive on giving a extra magical meaning beyond a devotional act. I have been on a journey with fitness for a very long time. And it is a balance. Like anything there are both healthy and unhealthy manifestations of this. Being too obsessed with the gym and how your body looks can lead to very unhealthy habits and self image issues. These things are not helped by our current societal beauty standards but this is where the balance needs to form. Its okay to want to look better while doing something good for your health and body. But that's exactly the mindset you need to keep. It's for your body's health and preservation. Perfect bodies do not exist and all bodies are summer bodies. Full Stop. The other thing I want to make abundantly clear is any form of physical activity can apply here. Anything that fits your needs and abilities. From heavy weightlifting, walking, cycling, stretching, western form of yoga, classes, swimming, dance, arm circles only, walking across your home…. anything. You do not need a gym. I am of the belief that physical fitness and physical activity is available to anyone who wants to do it. It shouldn't be some gatekept intimidating thing. What I mean is if you want to, you can. and there is something for every level. The other part of this is, if you are a little unsure of what you can do or should do, consult a doctor. Personal trainers are great but they are not doctors. Your health is important and please take your doctors recs and not some random influencer on the internet. Every body is unique and has different needs.

Themes

Self Love/Care: This is… or should be… a big part of this journey. Do it for you, your health, your spirit. This is a part of my self care routine. Doing even light activity can help with the image and feelings of our bodies. Especially as you start to see progress. Like if you start lifting you'll start pretty low, and then BAM, holy poop I didn't know I could be this strong. Makes you feel good about your body and proud of it.

Healing: I'm including healing because I personally find the physical activity healing for the mind, body, AND soul. Of course there is also a physical healing aspect like physical therapy and such. However there are numerous studies expressing the mental benefits as well.

Grounding/Connection to the Body: I find exercise and stretching is a great way to ground and connect to your body. A way to balance the input/output of energy. Have extra energy to spare, go to failure, need more energy, slow down to slow and intentional movements.

Meditation: This is honestly my favorite meditation method.

Energy: The energy produced is KEY for this magical take on fitness. Pride, Excursion, Sweat, Dopamine, Noradrenaline, Serotonin, "Runners High"… I will go into detail on how to use aspect later.

Fun: Exercise should be fun and not a chore. Feeling like a chore will make you not want to do it so finding something you can enjoy is absolutely a key factor.

Community: Gyms, sports teams, classes, online accountability groups are their own little communities. Community can help us be consistent and stick to it even if it gets super hard or you fall into a plateau or other mental dip in continuing.

Strength: Building strength might seem like an obvious theme, although it is down on the list because strength is not everyone's goal in going into fitness sphere's.

Endurance: Like Strength, this might seem obvious but it is not. This is not everyone's goal.

Body Affirming: Needing a little boost in connecting to your body and presenting as you would like? This can be a benefit and impact on why fitness is am interest.

How does it work?

Well, there are a few different ways to think about this. The first one is the use of the energy. The other main way is adding other types of magic into your fitness routine or just a single session. One other main way you will see fitness used, is as a devotional act to a spirit, deity, or entity. Lets go through a few of them.

Energy Input/Output and Visualization

The inspiration I got for this actually came out of sex magic. In sex magic the general idea is that the peak feeling of an orgasm is used to manifest/visualize the desired output, putting that out into the web of fate for it to come around. Well, a similar thing can be done in this context. For example, pushing those final reps creates and similar mindset of pushing through and pushing that energy out of your body. Another example would be in dance or stretching and putting that energy and intention into your physical movements. There are several ways to emphasize your intention but truly the imagination is the limit.

Types of Workings to Include

Self Improvement: Not just physical improvement. Really I think any self improvement intention could be applied here.

Healing, and Letting go: Physical movement is a great outlet for a multitude of emotions. Anger, Sadness, Frustration, etc. Personally this is also how I've dealt with processing trauma. It gives me time to think and put the resulting emotions into something good. (Always see a therapist and get professional help but I find it can help in conjunction). Physical healing has been mentioned, but I'm going to say it again lol. My experience has been healing torn and damaged muscles through my various sports and training activities.

Strength: Inner, outer, mental, emotional strength. Enough said.

Happiness/Joy: Science researchers tell us exercising boosts those good chemicals in our brain and I am not above using that in a magical sense too. Attract that happiness into your daily life.

Affirmations: Repeat them during sets, reps, breath exercises or chucks of movement.

Manifestations: You don't want to know how many times I've been on the chest press bench like "I will get this fucking house, I will get this fucking house" while buying a home lol.

Cleansing: Similar to healing, but taking a step further I am a fan of cleansing and literally sweating out what you need to get off of you. I find this even useful in terms of getting rid of things like evil eye and such.

Glamor: Physical appearance can be mentioned here but also things like "I am perceived as strong"

Flexibility: Things like dance, yoga, water aerobics help with the physical flexibility of the body… but what you need you or someone else to bend just a wee bit for whatever reason. Bend not break, important distinction.

Self Love: Love yourselves beautifuls. Your body and mind is capable of great things no matter your level. Connect and tap into that. 💕

Types of Magic to Include

Kitchen Magic: This is a bigger aspect than most people might realize. To exercise and move the way you want to, you have to have the proper fuel in your body. And that fuel varies and differs my person. But incorporating food and healing the relationship with modern food is absolutely part of a fitness journey and realm. Beyond food, there are so many vitamins, protein powders, pre-workouts, supplements, etc. that people incorporate into their fitness journey. The type, flavor, milks used, proteins, vitamins all will have different correspondences in what can be added into workings and intentions.

Color Magic/Rainbowmancy: Use your colors in what you wear, equipment, and drink from. In my case this can even include flag and tape color i use when I want to tap back into Colorguard movements.

Sigils: Draw on you, your equipment, stitch onto things, stand on to manifest, dance with the movement/move the flag/wand/baton/hoop/etc in the shape.

Divination: Here are just a few that could be utilized

Zygomancy: by weights

Nephomancy: by clouds

Fructomancy/fructimancy: by fruit

Drimimancy/drymimancy: by bodily fluids

Alveromancy: by sounds

Ambulomancy: by walking

Numerology: Numbers of reps, sets, exercises, dance counts, day, time, etc.

Lunar Magic: You can line up the routine based on the moon, use moon water in your pre-workout/plain/protein.

Cycles/Menstruation: If you are a uterus owner… your exercise might be dictated by your cycle. For example the week before you bleed things tend to seem HEAVY for no reason. This doesn't mean you lost strength, your body just said "not today maybe".

Mediation: The motions almost force you to focus on the breath, moves, and that can flip your brain into a meditative state.

Coffee/Tea/Brew Magic: For all your brewing needs… protein coffee is a staple for me to no ones surprise.

Art and Music: Dance and similar activities are arts in themselves so I think it's important to include. In the same vein, music played no matter the exercise can absolutely boost vibes and intentions.

Tools

Weights/bands/barbells/ankle weights/really any equipment needed

Shaker bottles (gym girlies… if you know, you know… they take over your house)

Protein powders/pre-workout powders/stimulant supplements

Active wear/Shoes (Clothes are also great tools to just make you feel good and cute while doing what you need to)

Yoga mat

Weight gloves

Towels

WATER BOTTLES

Massagers

Saunas/Ice Baths

Ideas

Embroider a sigil on my weight lifting gloves for strength and endurance

Wear my Mjolnir for Thor

Stir in intention and enchant the pre-workout. (also have drawn sigils on my shaker bottles)

Color magic with workout sets

Stick a sigil or written intentions in my shoe while doing cardio

Let out that stress while lifting… like breathing exercises (safely) while pushing those reps

Numerology intention with rep and set choice. (currently I do about 7 sets of 9 reps for lower weight and 4 sets of 7 reps for higher)

Mantras are your friend to gather motivation and self empowerment.

Take those vitamins with a blessing and/or prayer

When I stretch after a hard session I go into like a meditation/trance mode and do a light body exercise to feel how my body is feeling. (I get hella good results here)

If you take a shower or soak after let the sweat and water rinse off the stress you just got rid off.

Visualize while active (if you can't just think about the intention)

Devote a set or entire workout to a spirit of choice

Create a goal/mood board for goal manifestation

Run for a cause (5ks and such)

I workout in the morning, so omelets are the perfect post-workout breakfast and you can do so much with the veggies and ingredients used.

Power Smoothies!!

Protein milkshakes are something I love

Spirits to Work With

Deities

This is definitely not a comprehensive list. Really think of deities related to well-being, health, improvement, modern gym, olympic style game deities, warrior/training beings. Things like that would all apply here. Or any other correspondences to any form of physical health you are focusing on.

Thor: Norse god of Lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, the protection of humankind, hallowing, and fertility.

Ullr: Norse god of Archery, snow, and hunting. He was said to have superior skiing and skating abilities,

Freyja: Norse goddess of love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold

Skadi: Norse goddess of bowhunting, skiing, winter, and mountains.

Athena: Greek Goddess of wisdom, craft, and warfare

Artemis: Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children, and chastity

The Morrigan: Irish Goddess of war among other things depending on aspect

Beelzebub: Sin of Gluttony… can help with food balance

Belphegor: Sin of Sloth, can help with motivation

Lucifer: Sin of Pride

Satan: Sin of Wrath, channel the anger and has war and training aspects

Aphrodite: Greek goddess of love, sex, war and beauty

Odin: Norse God of war, wisdom,

Hermes: Greek god of trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel. Some consider him a protector of human kind

Hercules: Greek figures of strength and heros

Ares: Greek god of war or, more properly, the spirit of battle, and courage

Sobek: Egyptian god associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a protective deity

Lugh: Irish God of light, justice, warriors, wisdom

Nike: Greek goddess of victory, both in regards to war and friendly competition (and literally has an athletic brand using her name lol)

Spirits/Archetypes

Gladiators

Warriors

Gym bros/bras (literally saw someone use Dwayne "the rock" as an archetype)

The gym/equipment spirits (animism applies)

If you are into pop culture stuff, superhero's/comic characters

This simple yet effective technique is a game-changer for building inner abdominal muscles and enhancing overall fitness. The best part? You can do it anytime, anywhere! Let's unlock the secrets of stomach vacuums and their incredible advantages. 💪🏆 🌀 What Are Stomach Vacuums? 🌀 Stomach vacuums, also known as "abdominal vacuums," involve drawing your belly button inward toward your spine while exhaling and holding the position for several seconds. This exercise primarily targets the transverse abdominis, the deepest layer of abdominal muscles responsible for stabilizing the core. 🌟 Advantages of Stomach Vacuums 🌟 1. Core Strength: Stomach vacuums engage and tone the hard-to-reach transverse abdominis, leading to a stronger core that supports your entire body during various activities. 2. Waistline Definition: By tightening the transverse abdominis, stomach vacuums can create a more sculpted waistline, contributing to an hourglass figure. 3. Posture Improvement: Strengthening the core through stomach vacuums promotes better posture, reducing the risk of back pain and spinal misalignment. 4. Breathing Efficiency: This exercise trains the diaphragm, allowing for better control of breathing and enhanced lung capacity. 5. Injury Prevention: A stable core helps protect the spine and minimizes the risk of injuries during physical activities and workouts. 6. No Equipment Needed: Stomach vacuums require no equipment, making them a convenient and accessible exercise for everyone. 7. Mind-Body Connection: This exercise fosters a strong mind-body connection, encouraging body awareness and mindfulness during workouts. 8. Quick and Convenient: Stomach vacuums can be done in a matter of minutes, making them an excellent addition to your daily fitness routine! 🔑 Tips for Performing Stomach Vacuums 🔑 - Start with a few seconds and gradually increase the duration as you build strength and endurance. - Practice stomach vacuums on an empty stomach for better control and comfort. - Focus on your breathing; inhale deeply before contracting the abdomen and exhale fully during the hold. - Keep your back straight and maintain relaxed shoulders throughout the exercise. Ready to unlock the wonders of stomach vacuums? Try incorporating this powerful technique into your fitness regimen and witness the incredible results! 🌀💫 #StomachVacuums #CoreStrength #WaistlineGoals #FitnessMagic #AbdominalWorkout #InnerStrength #PosturePerfection #BreathingTechnique #InjuryPrevention #NoEquipmentExercise #QuickWorkout #MindBodyConnection #DailyFitness #HealthyHabits #FitnessAdvantages #HomeExercise #WorkoutAnywhere #FitnessRoutine #StrongCore #TonedWaistline #FitnessJourney #FitnessMotivation #WorkoutTips #BodyMindFitness #ExerciseBenefits #StayFitStayHealthy #FitnessInspiration #WellnessWednesday #FitnessForAll #FitnessGoals #FitnessCommunity via Philita Jana https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbuEtISFavbKlpbpfyEjVdQ August 03, 2023 at 10:27PM

Dica de exercício poderoso para pernas e glúteos . Essa é a ponte, um exercício que além de trabalhar a mobilidade da coluna , fortalece os posteriores de coxa e glúteos. . Os posteriores de coxa são músculos muito importantes na estabilização dos joelhos e da lombar (vou te contar um segredo, é lá que moram as pavorosas celulites). . Posição inicial : Deitado(a) de barriga para cima com os pés apoiados na bola e os joelhos esticados. Expirando articule a coluna começando a elevar pelo quadril , sinta o apoio nos ombros e nas escápulas. Inspire e mantenha o corpo no alto. Expire e flexione os joelhos usando a força dos músculos de trás dos joelhos. Inspire estique as pernas. Expire e retorne a coluna , apoiado de cima para baixo. . Obs: Contraia os glúteos para evitar cãibras. . Quem ai gosta de exercícios dois em um? . Foto: fitnessmag Dra. Vanessa Godoi - Fisioterapeuta.
