This week we continue our series on social media for our careers and sit down with Caroline Drake of Bloom Social Media for a focus on Twitter.  This conversation is relevant to any female in our industry who is growing their career from the ground up, or even an industry veteran looking to make their personal brand more well-rounded.  Find out the ideal number of posts per day when some are posting by the hour, and how to use scheduling apps to balance demands of keeping current on Twitter with your career.  Caroline reminds us of the importance of harnessing the power of Twitter specifically to forward our personal brands but also show our professional personalities. She encourages to not only remember what we're looking for out of our Twitter presence but also to mention in our bio what we have to OFFER our target audience (employers?) and to try using 3 key words to draw users to our profile when they are searching.  Listen to hear even more of Caroline's amazing tips for using Twitter for your career.

Claire Deacon guides us through some of the best yoga poses for cyclists, explaining that cycling is one of the few activities in which muscles contract concentrically (so, while shortening), rather than eccentrically (while lengthening). The repetitive motion in peddling can cause the muscle fibres to shorten - this is also known as 'adaptive muscle shortening.' This will not only cause an imbalance in your muscles and put you at risk of injury, but it can really jeopardise your posture too. Shortened muscles can impact your ability, comfort, aerodynamics and eventually lead to injury. Most cycling injuries are caused by tight muscles or a limited range of motion. By targeted stretching you can lengthen your muscles, unlock your full potential and extend the years you can cycle. Claire talks us through some yoga poses that will help you as a cyclist. There are images of all the poses that Claire talks about in the show notes with this episode on our website.
