Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Many people make resolutions to “get in shape and lose weight.” This year, rather than focusing on the scale, considering the following resolutions:

To increase stamina and energy level.
To increase physical strength.
To learn new skills.
To move pain free and alleviate old aches & pains.
To improve your quality of life.
To build muscle.
To challenge yourself physically as a means to increase mental fortitude.
To increase balance, stability, and coordination.
To relieve stress.
To shatter self-imposed limitations.

Pick one or more. Share your resolutions in the comments!

Happy New Year! Let’s make it a great year!

The next 6 weeks may be filled with family obligations, shopping, parties, baking, etc, making it easy to find an excuse to skip some workouts. The best way to stay on track during the holiday season is to schedule time for exercise - put it on your calendar, just like a doctor appointment or work meeting. Even if you can’t hit the gym, a short session at home is better than nothing.
Valley Wellness folks, I will be subbing extra classes through New Years. Schedule your time with me! No excuses!!

Did you know that exercising in the water provides many benefits regardless of your age?? Aqua aerobics is often overlooked and considered an exercise for “the older population.” Aquatic exercises will improve your heart health, core/muscular strength & endurance, support weight loss, and assist with increasing mobility, flexibility, and balance. So join me, make a splash, and challenge yourself this week!

Did you know that athletes typically sweat sooner and more voluminously than inactive people, and more than the athlete would have prior to starting training?? That's because athletic bodies learn that when the individual gets active, they REALLY get active, and it's best to start the cooldown strategy pronto!

Did you know that we start losing muscle mass after age 30, and that we continue to lose about 8% every decade?? But it’s never too late to start building muscle mass and gaining strength. Just ask my 88 year old mother if you don’t believe!
