Bartlett Lions Dash 5K ✅
1st place in my age group ✅ (there weren’t that many in my group, but who cares! 😂)
As a personal trainer, I’m always focused on the goals of my clients. Lately, it’s been easy to slack off on my own goals, so I knew it was time for a change. I’ve been running consistently for about 5-6 weeks. I thought it would be a fun challenge to sign up for a couple of races. I’m not out to win the whole thing. I’m just racing for myself.
Next stop is Itasca for the Oktoberfast 5K. They have beer and brats at the end!🍺 🌭 😄 Come join me!

"What's the best diet?" As a Personal Trainer, this is the most common question I get every year around the new year. According to the latest rankings from U.S. News & World Report, it is the Mediterranean Diet. This comes as no surprise to me, because it has been at the top for the past 6 years in a row. There are also some other good choices that round out the rest of the Top 10.

“Vegan vs. Keto vs. Mediterranean vs. WW vs. the latest trend, etc. - Which diet is the best?”

This topic comes up with my training clients often. I usually have them look at the rankings US News puts out in January of every year. It is all backed by science and is not skewed towards any agenda. It is no surprise Whole Food Plant Based diets usually come up on top of the rankings.

Number 1 on the list (Mediterranean Diet) hasn’t changed in 4 years.

What’s the takeaway?
Less meat, more plants. 🌱

🇺🇸 Patriot Day 5K 🇺🇸
This is how I chose to Never Forget. I never intended to do any kind of virtual race, but this year felt different. It was hard to wrap my head around the fact that it is the 20th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11/2001. I looked for an in person running event, but there wasn’t much available. I instead chose this one, since it gives part of the proceeds to the First Responders Children's Foundation. I also actually signed up back in early August well before I knew we’d be pulling out of Afghanistan. Now it seems to have a much deeper meaning.

If you are above a certain age, you will never forget where you were that day. We all became Americans. There was no reason to be divided anymore. It’s time to salute our heroes who gave their lives that day for all of us and reflect on what that means.🇺🇸

Here is a quick look into my personal fitness studio in Bartlett. I do train a select few people here.

I also have in person options for you to train in a bigger studio (1 on 1 or small group) in Hanover Park.

Online training options are also available.

Reach out if you are ready to take on your health and fitness this year. It’s time!
