Onward Fitness

At Onward, fun and fitness go hand in hand 🤝 (That definition of fun may or may not sometimes include burpees 😉)

Does this sound familiar? If you're the person who is always bouncing their leg, kicking their feet, clicking their pens, etc, etc, good news! All that fidgeting actually increases your NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis). In plain English, NEAT refers to pretty much everything you do in your day that isn't technically exercise.

NEAT activities can improve your health by burning calories, and keeping you sitting less and moving more. So, next time someone tells you to "just sit still!!", remind them: fidgeting is neat!

Okay, so your gym gear doesn't actually feel sad when you miss a session. But your gym buddies (or personal trainers) might!

Working out with a partner can boost your motivation and help keep you accountable, which is why Onward offers both group fitness classes and 1-on-1 personal training. We even have 2-on-1 personal training options for you and your workout buddy (because misery...wait, MOVEMENT...loves company 😜💪)

We're here to support you in reaching your fitness goals, and you support us right back 💪 So we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the Onward Fitness family.

Onward's personal trainers are here for all your most important (or most delicious) fitness questions.

P.S. We won't sugarcoat it--we'd say the answer is yes 😉 You should still come to Core & More at 5:30 tonight though.

Some Mondays can make you feel like you aren't ready to start the week, much less your workout. Getting started can be the hardest part. And yes, you might be tired and sweaty afterwards...but you'll also be full of endorphins and a shiny new sense of accomplishment ✨

Remember: consistency beats intensity. Not every workout needs to be the hardest one you've ever done. Sometimes, all it needs to be is done.

We're not sure, but we think this must be the philosophy of our morning class regulars...if it works, it works! 😆

PSA: carbs are NOT the enemy! Of course a balanced diet includes plenty of protein and healthy fats, but we need carbs too, especially before a challenging workout. Giving your body plenty of fuel can improve your recovery and help you feel more energetic...and you might just feel like the best thing since sliced bread!

Wise words on our white board today 😴 And did you know exercise can help improve your sleep quality? Try tonight's Core & More class at 5:30 - 6:00 pm, or Full Body Fitness at 6:15 - 7:00 pm, and see for yourself!

Easier said than done, we know. Try our 9:00 am Stretch class for help relaxing your muscles (and your mind)!
