Seek Strength

Did you know that the American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise per week? These guidelines are a starting point for anyone trying to be more active. In addition to the aerobic exercise guidelines they recommend at least 2 days a week of strength training. Are you getting this much activity in?

Yes, I know most of us have goals for our outward appearance….but do you have goals for your health on the inside? If you are struggling to get activity in remember why it is important. Moving your body and being active benefits your body in numerous ways and will help you have a better quality of life. Hiking, biking, walking, sports, HIIT, swimming, and boxing are all ways to get your heart rate up and reap the benefits of activity.

This week make a commitment to move your body and take care of yourself.

Current read, well one of them. This book literally lays out program design and the scientific basis behind it and building muscle. If there ever was a blueprint for making gains this would be it. I’m all about those .

Book Recommendation ‼️
I finished this book in audio format a couple weeks ago. All I’m going to say is if you are interested in becoming the best version of yourself and love personal growth then you need to read this. Are you spending your time filling your head with worthless movies and media or things that will actually help you in life?

I cannot “stress” how valuable and applicable the information in this book is. I’ve listened to it 2x now. If you are someone who struggles with/have struggled with any mood disorders from mild anxiety to bipolar and major depressive disorders this book is absolutely necessary for your health. Even if you don’t struggle with the above, having the knowledge of how beneficial exercise is to the mind and body is vital and will improve your quality of life! I love the audible book form because I can listen in the car, on a run, or whenever I have down time.

Rock climbing was a total blast!! This was my first time officially doing outdoor climbing instead of indoor. Totally an unforgettable experience and one that I plan to have tons more of. @ Garden of the Gods Park

STRESS 💣

Is stress “good” or “bad”? While some stress can definitely be perceived as bad, stress is a necessary part of growth. How you perceive stress will change how it effects you even on a hormonal level.

I challenge you to look at the negative stressors in your own life and see how you can shift your perspective of them to benefit instead of hinder you.

Do you have a ROUTINE? ⏰

❓What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?

❓What is the first thing you do when you have free time?

✅ How you spend your time shows where your priorities lie. Set goals, make a plan, and follow through. It’s the day in and day out that will get you to those goals.

Consistency > Perfection

‼️REMEMBER - fitness should be fun, it has the potential to enhance your life if you allow it. Find something you enjoy doing that gets your body active.

A friendly reminder that you can set fitness goals that don’t only revolve around physical changes.
