ADD ME TO YOUR FAVORITES!

Hats off to team member Crystal Hishaw for going that extra mile and holding her workout partners accountable.

If you haven't seen your accountability partner in awhile then you should be calling them to find out what's up.  Don't let them slack off. One of you has to be the bigger person.

If you don't have an accountability partner then contact me, but be ready to add me to your favorites! 

I GOT YOU!

THE SIMPLE CHOICE

I am amazed and grateful for all of the choices we have in our country.  Our society is flooded with choices and with the right amount of money we can buy just about anything we want.  We’ve taken our basic needs and through innovation and keen marketing took them to a whole other level.

Take some of the basics, food, shelter and water for example.  For food you can find a restaurant on practically every corner; grocery stores and farmer's markets everywhere. We have gourmet food, fast food, packaged, frozen, and fresh.  For shelter money can procure you in-town living, a nice apartment for rent, a house in the burbs, a million dollar mansion or a doublewide trailer.

Then there is water.  Good old-fashioned water.  In our society we took water, pimped it up and added rims!  You can buy all kinds of flavored water, soda, juices, so-called juices (with 10% juice), Kool-Aid (we still have that stuff), shakes, and energy drinks.  We have purified water, carbonated water, bottled water, carbonated bottled water, mineral water, smart water, smart mineral water, carbonated smart mineral water, and bottled flavored carbonated smart mineral water…ok maybe I’m stretching this a bit but you get the gist.

When you get down to the basics, what our bodies really need is just water. We are made up of approximately 60% water and it is essential for the proper functioning of every cell in our bodies. Read more about the benefits of water and how much you should drink here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/water/art-20044256. 

So out of all of the abundance of choices, for my health it’s simple, I still choose plain good old-fashioned water.  The best thing about it is it’s cheap!

If you are looking to get fit and improve your health and need accountability partners, then come join my team.  Make the commitment and we won’t let you down.

2015 WILL BE THE BEST YEAR OF OUR THIGHS!

2014 had to be the fastest year on record.  Of course it had the same amount of time as any other, but for me it felt like the Lamborghini of years.  It just blew by.  It was a very eventful year too. I decided to leave a job at a great company to pursue my passion in fitness.  Took a leap of faith and started my own business (Check us out! www.bfitathleticclub.com).   It’s been fun, it’s been scary, it’s been exciting, and at times overwhelming.  So many ideas, so many things I want to accomplish and so little time.  Who is my target, what service do they need, where, when, how?   That’s how I felt until one day it occurred to me.  What’s the rush?  Slow down, step back, this is all new; you can’t do everything at once, take it one step at a time. No pressure.

Then it hit me.  This is probably how many clients feel when they first begin their fitness journey.  It’s fun to start something new, It can be scary because you don’t know what to expect, It’s exciting because you are finally taking the leap to better health, and with all the information out there it can become very overwhelming.  Eat this not that, drink more, move more, get this and do it this way.

So this year we are going to take it one step at a time.  Focus on little changes that can have a big impact on your health.  It takes on average 30 days for something to become habit so each month we will focus on just one topic and build on it as we go along:

1. January         Fill your cup and drink up (water that is)
2. February        Track and pack with snacks  (plan, cook and log your meals)
3. March            Stupid simple (ditch the simple carbs)
4. April              Eat the whole thing (whole foods)
5. May               What’s your sleep number?  (all about better sleep)             
6. June              Move it or lose it  (simple ways to get moving more)
7. July               Get uncomfortable (do something different)
8. August           Chillax (all about finding ways to relax)
9. September     I love myself  (self acceptance)
10. October         Twosome (find an accountability partner)
11. November      It’s all good, even when it’s bad (thankfulness)
12. December      Pay it Forward (giving)

We have also revised our blog Dining With Dhana to better serve you!  Dhana’s new and improved blog is called “Ask Dhana”.   Every Friday Dhana will be answering nutrition questions submitted by one of our clients.

So now it is written. 2015 WILL BE THE BEST YEAR OF OUR THIGHS.  You have my commitment now I want yours.  Call me about our BOGO special for new members.  Expires January 15^th.

I JUST CAN'T SHAKE IT OFF

Forgive me but I have to confess.   It’s something that I’ve been hearing over and over.  I wake up, go to sleep, drive, eat and it’s stays right there with me.  I just can’t get it out of my head.

That Taylor Swift song; you know the one…”Shake It Off”.   I don’t know when, how or why that song got in my head but I can’t seem to “shake it off”.  I admit it does lift me up and get me going.  I just like it.  It’s funny how a song can put you in the perfect mood.   This is especially true when exercising.

 

There is just something about the right music that can make your workouts more beneficial.  My clients at Bfit Athletic Club are serious about the music I play in class. They love working out to energetic upbeat melodies and for good reason. There have been studies that have shown that working out to music actually increases your endurance.*  Music motivates you and helps to get you in that zone. A great beat not only pushes you to work harder, but can also help you keep pace.  I love to see my clients doing different exercises all to the same rhythm of a song.

If you are looking for an extra boost to your workout, then try adding some music.  Create your favorite playlist and get moving.  

 Contact me if you need help with your fitness goals.  We are offering a great special for new members.

MAMA SAID THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THIS

Are you in a funk?

The holiday season is here.  A busy fun-filled time of the year spent with family and friends, lots of parties, rich food and tons of shopping.  

Unfortunately for many, this is the time of year that they experience what’s known as “Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)”.   SAD is a form of depression.  The actual cause of SAD is unknown but the symptoms can include fatigue, moodiness, difficulty sleeping, low energy, and increased appetite.

Consult your doctor if you think you may be suffering from SAD.

The good news is that there are some simple ways to help.  Regular exercise, eating a well balanced diet, and spending more time outside in the sun all have been known to ease the symptoms.

Don’t let SAD keep you in a funk this holiday season.   Get up and get moving, get outside and soak up the sunshine, and get into eating more organic whole foods. 

Take time out of this busy holiday season to take care of you.
