Three Breaks

I recently read an article by that was published on CNN. She gave 3 excellent ways to add movement to your day.

1. Act like a kid. Hula hoop, jump rope, skip, play tag. (Something the kid on all of us should do more.)

2. Turn up the tunes. (I find myself doing this when I'm hope alone and cleaning, I'll end up dancing around.)

3. Consider training with a friend. (I love this idea. It makes you accountable to someone, and it's harder to say no. )

What do you think of these ideas? Do you do any of them?

How many holiday shopping days do we need with names, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, etc? Well, if you are still looking for that last minute and you don't want to leave the house, but you want to support a small business... consider Three Breaks as a gift idea, (or for yourself). www.threebreaks.com

Need an idea for that person in your life (maybe yourself) that could use a little more movement in their life? Small business Saturday, Three Breaks is a small business, give the give of three months of videos for $50. The gift includes three videos 3 times a days that just help you get up and move. They are delivered directly to your friends inbox. We take the thinking of exercise breaks right out of your day.

Happy Thanksgiving! It's a day to eat and share and be thankful, but did you know it's also a big day for turkey trots? What did you do this morning before the eating began?

As the holidays start approaching, I just wanted to introduce myself again, I am Kendra Strobel Yost, I'm a small female business owner in Salt Lake City, but can teach a zoom class all over the country and send the Three Breaks program all over the world. Consider Three Breaks as a holiday gift this season.

Three Breaks

I don't think I need to say much about this post. Think twice before reaching for that sugary drink. (And yes, I totally screen shot this on my phone, cause I thought it was a great post and wanted to share it, and I'm horrible with technology!)

But really, this is pretty appalling. I'm totally guilty of reaching for a soda a couple times a month. This will make me think again.

Thanks The Food Hub for posting.

Besides the Three Breaks program I also teach one on one personal training and 30 minute zoom classes. People love the zoom classes, it's 30 minutes and your done, you don't even need to leave your home. I make modifications for most everyone, and it's a "judgement free zone." We are here to cheer each other on. I thought I'd take a minute and show you what a 30 minute zoom class looks like.

One of these amazing ladies just finished her librarian endorsement. She went to school and taught, and still had time for classes on the weekend.

Another one of these beautiful women works full time at a university, sits on every board I know of, goes to every fund raiser the local town has, and still makes time for a 30 minute class.

After that we have an incredible women that works full time at the local children's hospital, and commutes 1.5 hours almost every weekend to spend time with her family. But she always makes time for a 30 minute class.

Next but not least, the powerhouse of a women does incredible work with the homeless in our community. She's in the know about every fun event happening in our town and always so kind to keep us all in the know. Yet, every weekend, my 30 minute zoom class is the event she attends.

Up next are two west coast travelers. They attend my classes from all over the country. They get in their RV and aren't afraid to drive anywhere. Yet, on Wednesdays and one weekend day they stop long enough to get some exercise in. They even been complimented on their legs before!!!

Last but definitely not least, one of the hardest working women I know. I don't know if she's ever clocked less than 50 hours a week. Our local school system is so lucky to have her. Yet, every weekend she makes the time to join a class or two.

All these women are heroes of mine. They take the time to take care of themselves and understand the importance of exercise and even bonding with other people.

UGH, I'm totally guilty, I'm posting a holiday post before the holidays even begin. I'm an early holiday shopper, in fact I'm done already. I like to enjoy the holiday and not be running all over shopping in the cold. People laugh at me, but I'm cool with it. If you have that one person on your list that you just can't think of an idea for, most people need to add more movement to their day, give the gift of Three Breaks

Recently JAMA released an article with evidence stating that even if you exercise, sitting all day can cause dementia. (I feel like everything we do now can cause dementia.) But this is one more excellent reason to give a try. If you get up and exercise in the AM, or after work, but sit all days, it's not benefiting your body like getting up and exercising throughout the day. (Don't give up your morning or afternoon routine, just add more movement during the day.)

DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME, OR ANYWHERE!!!

I love the performer !NK. Last week she was featured on 60 minutes, and she talked about how strong her body and how she takes care of it. Wonderful story. She had the interviewer stand on her stomach to show her strength, which she works very hard at getting.

My son, and I always give each other physical challenges...how many push-ups can you do, how many burpees, etc? One night after dinner I wanted to see if my stomach was strong enough for a 112 pound human to stand. (So maybe after dinner wasn't my brightest idea.) But we did it. All my hard work, and dedication to having a strong core paid off. Hard work always pays off.
