Boosting the Brain Health of Older Adults

This article and research are so exciting! Even as we age we can still keep the brain strong and growing, so amazing.

ideafit.com Exercise is good for the aging brain. Indeed, the right kind of exercise can protect against neurodegeneration, the natural decline of brain functions that accompanies aging. You could encourage your older clients to play “brain games” on computers or mobile apps. Alas, multiple studies say this...

Not the most glamorous or inspiring pic I’ll ever post...just a reminder to take some time to thank your body for all of the hard work that you are putting in. Recovery is important, maintenance is important so treat yourself to some incredible release today!

[01/21/19]   It’s going to be a chilly start to the day but I promise that our theme for the week will get you warm in a hurry💪🏻

Just taking a minute before bootcamp to appreciate this beautiful and peaceful morning❄️

[01/17/19]   Hey team! I will assess the weather situation tonight. 9am I would assume will be fine to meet at the CC but 6am...we'll see.

15 flights today. Enjoy😁💪🏻

[01/16/19]   Classes are on today at the CC. If you can’t make it due to LCPS delay let me know if you want to call in. #letsgo

What an awesome start to 2019! My early birds are starting 💪🏻 #progressnotperfection #back2basics

Welcome to 2019...let's go!

Good morning team! Almost time to wish everyone a Happy New Year so I thought we could practice with a little alphabet workout.
1. You need to spell HAPPY NEW YEAR
2. Now spell out the first name of at least one person that you will be celebrating NYE with.

Enjoy! 🎉

Hey team! Time to get your booty moving for our squat challenge today. 10 squats at the top of the hour, every waking hour. Enjoy!

Feels like a good day for a card challenge don’t you think??? Role call: who can complete the whole deck? Let’s get it!

Hey team! I’m
in Williamsport picking up Jackson but that doesn’t equal a freebie day for you guys because I’ve got something to keep you busy!

I’ve posted about the Card Workout before. It is one of my favorite workouts b/c you can take it anywhere you go. All you need is a deck of cards (with the jokers). If you haven’t seen it before or if you missed class here is how you play:

You have 4 exercises: squats, lunges, crunches, push ups. A deck of cards happens to have 4 suits. Each exercise will match up with a suit.

❤️ squats
♦️ lunges
♠️ crunches
♣️ push ups

Shuffle the deck then flip over 4 cards. Below is the pic of my first flip. I do the exercise that corresponds to the suit. In this turn I would do 14 squats (aces high), 3 crunches, 9 lunges, 13 push-ups. When I finish this turn I will flip over the next 4 cards and get to work.

Now what about the jokers??? When you flip a joker it = 20 of each exercise 😱 I know right?!

Some of you will be able to make it through the entire deck. Some of you won’t yet and that’s ok. Each time you do it your goal is to get a little better. You can measure this by timing how long it takes to finish the deck or by counting how many cards you can complete.

Good luck and have fun! #progressnotperfection

Wow! What a gorgeous morning! Had a great adventure walk with my favorite crew. Hope you all get to enjoy the 🌞

Wow!!! You all continue to amaze me! I got to peek at a few numbers from measurements today and we have so much to celebrate! So proud and excited about all of the hardwork this session. #1more #progressnotperfection #celebratethewin

Good morning team! I'm not sure about you but this weather has made our weekend challenge a little more challenging than normal for me. The good news is that today is a new day and a new opportunity to be awesome rain or no rain (but looks like mostly rain😄). So pull on those rain boots and go find a muddy puddle! #20000 #progressnotperfection

What a fun start to the day! Yoga class at Athleta with a few of my bootcampers. Thanks for joining me Sara Lenser Capistrant, Christy Berman and Kelly Huff-Snyder. It was great awesome to get in a challenging class and do a little shopping with you too! Thanks for the invite Patti Menders❤️ #progressnotperfection #powertotheshe

So thankful for this crew! I hadn’t planned to hold class today but on Wednesday they asked if we could meet. Not sure if they were afraid they would miss me or they wanted to feel better about the sins of Thanksgiving, either way I’ll take it! I ❤️ you guys!

Or in our case: thighs before AND after pies🤣 I got the green light to use the CC on Friday at 9. Freebie class! Feel free to bring a friend just RSVP (so Sara Lenser Capistrant isn’t stuck with the green band).

Don’t forget about our push up challenge team! I’m mixing mine up with variation. Whatever option you choose own it! 30 down, 20 to go but I’m saving those to do with my kids tonight 😁💪🏻 #fitfam #everymovementmatters

Just dropped off our meal and I just can’t stop smiling. I am so thankful to be a part of an incredible community and to work with the most amazing people! The basket that you all put together was overflowing, I had to use a second bag to hold everything. From the bottom of my ❤️, thank you for helping to make Share A Little Thanks so successful!
