My client this morning before our workout: “I wo My client this morning before our workout: “I wore my ruck vest this morning while getting ready for my day today.” 

Music to my ears - can’t stop, won’t stop! 
This is a great example of being creative and finding ways to get a little extra exercise/movement/challenge in each day. It’s the little things (that really aren’t so little) that add up to big results when done regularly and consistently. There is great power in that! I’m blessed to work with people who find ways to keep at it, keep going, and keep growing! Keep it fresh, bring your best!!

The birds are at full song this morning! 🤣Week The birds are at full song this morning! 🤣Week 2, here we go! Here’s what to focus on in week 2:
1. Get a portion of your steps in outdoors! Even if it’s just 10 minutes, get outside for your steps at least once a day
2. If you’ve been able to meet your step goal most days of week 1, either increase your step goal a bit, and/or add some weight to a portion of your steps. This is called rucking and you can simply add some weight to a backpack. Start small, like 5-10lbs and adjust as desired. You choose which option and how much challenge you’re going to add.
3. If you’ve struggled to meet your step goal for most of week 1, then just keep focusing on meeting your goal this week, but do still do a portion of your steps outside!

Keep updating us on your journey - we want to hear how you’re doing and encourage you along the way! Plus, hearing from you helps motivate us to keep going, too!

Step into Spring Participants - Week 1 is almost d Step into Spring Participants - Week 1 is almost done! A few things to keep in mind:

This challenge is YOUR challenge. The purpose is for you to feel better at the end of the four weeks than you did at the start. That means setting a realistic goal each week.

For example, if you typically get 5,000 steps a day, a realistic first week goal would be to shoot for 5,500 - 6,000 steps, not 8,000. Setting and achieving bite-sized goals on a consistent basis is more sustainable than setting a massive goal that you only achieve on two out of the seven days. More wins will keep you excited to keep progressing.

At the start of each of the remaining three weeks, we’ll encourage you to up your game a bit, but not necessarily by adding more steps. Though you can certainly do that if you’re easily achieving your daily goals!

Also, if you haven’t really jumped into the challenge, start today! Anyone can join or re-join the challenge at any time. This is YOUR journey. The only person truly holding you accountable is you. Commit to your happiness, commit to your health!

Have you ever considered that the “I am….” s Have you ever considered that the “I am….” statements you say on a regular basis might be impacting your life?

I am so stressed.
I am so tired.
I am such a klutz.
I am so awkward.
I am so forgetful.
I am overwhelmed.
I am an anxious person.
I am just not good at this. 

Many of us walk around saying these things about ourselves (either out loud or in our heads), not even realizing it. In fact, you may need to ask someone else what “I am” statements you say pretty regularly to really become aware!

Your brain believes whatever you tell it over and over again. It’s time to do some rewiring! Start paying attention to when you make a negative “I am” statement and immediately switch it to something else you WANT to be - even if you don’t feel like it’s true. Remember, your brain believes what you tell it over and over. So start telling it something good about you over and over, and watch what happens over time!

Concerned about cognitive decline as you age? Musc Concerned about cognitive decline as you age? Muscle not only keeps your body strong, it’s also important for keeping your brain strong.  We know exercise has always benefited the brain by significantly boosting mood, enhancing self-esteem, reducing stress and anxiety, and is as effective as (and possibly more effective than) taking anti-depressants. 

New research shows that keeping our muscles strong also helps with cognitive function as we age. This is promising news that maybe it’s not about how old we are when it comes to brain health, but about how we’re living in our older years.  Science is now proving what Thomas Jefferson said years ago: “A strong body makes the mind strong.”
