Let's restart September

*** Please note: For the next month, evenings move to Thursday due to Teague's baseball schedule

Happy Sunday

This week, my Apple Watch was worried about me

"It looks like you had a rest day yesterday" it quietly chirped on Thursday.

"You can still hit your goals, " Apple Watch urged me on Friday. "Just a quick 50-minute walk," it tried to coerce.

By Saturday, I am pretty sure someone at HQ was calling 9-1-1 to make sure i was still breathing. There it sat - not a HIIT workout, not a strength, not a weighted vest power walk

Except for COVID, I can't remember the last time I was that unwell.

Today, I went for a 15K bike ride along the Tay River and the gratitude for moving my body was profound. In church, I prayed for all those people I haven't met yet but I will hopefully help one day, and I prayed for all who suffer from chronic pain and illness. If you have been in pain, you had a prayer from me.

When we began this journey together in the pandemic, all I wanted to do was keep us moving, strong, fit, healthy and sane.

Now, my motivations have changed.

I want to continue to build an organic, breathing community of health and fitness - and I want you along for the ride. But I truly want you VIBRANT. And me, too.

What this means?

Workouts

We will continue to have LIVE workouts six days per week, always recorded, with a strong focus now on STRENGTH, MOBILITY, SIT and/or HIIT training, CYCLE and PILATES. Classes are saved in WORKOUT OF THE DAY channel, then immediately into the proper channel

If you can, come live, even for mobility. Message me for ideas. We are building bodies that are strong into our golden years!

Events

I am introducing Field Trips - FITNESS days out. This means we will go to a studio or club as a group and take classes!!!!

To kick off We will have our FITFAM FALL WALK on Sunday, October 5th!

Nutrition

You can't outrun a bad diet. For the last five years I have run two programs - the Healthy Six and the FITFAM. They really are one and the same, we will be welcoming newbies to our group in a 90-day "RISE / REBUILD AND RESTORE"

It is my goal to lead us to the end of 2025 strong, healthy and full of joy!

For that - we will be doing MONTHLY Meal PREP - an hour together to make healthy soups, proteins, and veggies. First one - Sunday September 21, 5pm!

My ultimate goal is this community to grow through the years - and for us to get stronger mentally and physically. It takes work.

I believe in us
