Fit From the Core

Good morning! I have an opening for one or two participants in my Tu/Th 10:30-11:15am group. In addition to great workouts, you’ll get accountability and lots of laughs. Let me know if you would like to come check it out.

Looking for 2-3 women to join a Tu/Th 10:30-11:15am small group training. It’s typically circuit style with one day lower body & the other focused on upper body, always with an emphasis on core strength. We use TRX, kettlebells, dumbbells, resistance bands, medicine balls & more. The format is perfect for participants of varying levels because it’s easily adaptable. The small group also allows me to keep eyes on everyone’s form to keep participants safe.

If you think this might be a good fit for you, send me a message and we can schedule a time for you to check it out.

“We see an important opportunity to educate consumers about the scientific basis for certain recommendations. For example, we are concerned that recommendations regarding salt seasoning and red meat consumption could inadvertently lead consumers to exceed recommended limits for sodium and saturated fats, which are primary drivers of cardiovascular disease. While the guidelines highlight whole-fat dairy, the Heart Association encourages consumption of low-fat and fat-free dairy products, which can be beneficial to heart health.”

Listen, I get that it feels easy to blame all our problems on the fact that we have the unhealthy version of skittles and if we just changed the color additives, we could just keep eating skittles and get healthier. But that’s not it. We over-consume high sugar, low nutrient ultra processed foods (like Skittles), 95% of us don’t meet fiber guidelines. 90% of us aren’t meeting vegetable intake guidelines. More than half of us are eating more than the recommended amount of added sugars every single day. 80% of us don’t meet physical activity guidelines and the average American only walks 3,000-4,000 steps per day. We’re overworked with little support, and now we have a political movement and wellness grifters who see a major opportunity to make lots of money joining the cause to keep us focused on things like color additives in ultra processed foods in order to distract us from the actual reasons for our health status and policies that could actually help improve our health. #fooddye #medicalmisinformation #maha
