SUPP people? Let’s talk about….

MAGNESIUM!!!

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and is involved in hundreds of chemical reactions, such as energy production, blood pressure regulation, nerve signal transmission, protein formation, muscle contraction and hormonal balance, just to name a few!

It is estimated that over two-thirds of Americans fall short of the recommended daily amount of magnesium, and signs of deficiency can include muscle cramping, frequent headaches or migraines, low energy, and trouble sleeping.

Fortunately, magnesium can be found in a variety of foods!

leafy greens
nuts
seeds
legumes
dairy
whole grains
dark chocolate

Go give it a try!

LIQUID GOLD!!!

Aka bone broth πŸ˜‹

Bone broth is often used as a base for soups, but can also be sipped on similar to tea. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A and K, as well as iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium. Additionally, it contains collagen, which provides a variety of amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks of protein, making it a great addition to just about any diet.

A couple other benefits of bone broth include:

Improves gut health and digestion - due to its abundance of the amino acid glutamine

Improves sleep - as it contains the amino acid glycine

This month's might be one of our all time FAVORITE topics and things to do: SLEEP! πŸ›Œ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Gone are the days of bragging about how little we sleep. The new normal is 8 or even 9 hours, and here’s why.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Benefits of increasing your nightly slumber:​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
1) Helps with concentration and productivity βœ…: This is a "no brainer" (pun intended), because sleep allows our brain to do a "reboot". When we get sufficient sleep, our cognition, concentration, productivity, and performance are all positively impacted, which improves problem solving skills and memory performance. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
2) CALLING ALL ATHLETES ⚽️: Increased sleep helps with athletic performance by enhancing fine motor skills, reaction time, power, and endurance. Looking to recover faster and avoid injury? UP YOUR SLEEP. High performing athletes aim for anywhere between 8 to even 10 hours of sleep each night.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
3) Supports emotional and mental health 🧠: We've all been there. You only got 5 hours of shut eye, and you are not quite your normal self. In addition to the emotional impacts of insufficient sleep, researchers have also found a strong link between poor sleep and mental health (such as depression). This is a good reminder to be aware and take care of your overall health, body and mind. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
4) Immune system boost πŸ’ͺ: "I like being sick" said no one ever. Want to avoid the seasonal cold/flu? Studies show that people who slept less than 5 hours a night were almost 5 TIMES more likely to develop a cold, when compared to those who slept 7 or more hours each night. Need we say more?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
As always, listen to your body and mind and do what feels right for you. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Want to learn a few tricks for HOW to get more sleep? Stay tuned…. πŸ“Ί ​​​​​​​​

What is a KB anyways?!
Well today’s your lucky day because we’re going to talk about Kettlebells aka the KB.
While kettlebells may look a bit intimidating, they are a great all-in-one piece of equipment for anyone looking to incorporate strength, endurance, flexibility or balance into their training program.
Here are a few reasons why the kettlebell is such a unique and amazing exercise tool!
Improves Core Strength: Many kettlebell exercises are performed unilaterally (only using just one) which greatly increases core engagement. Additionally, many of these exercises are multi-planar and require proper core engagement throughout the entire movement.
Helps Recognize Muscle Weakness And Imbalances: It is said that kettlebells get you comfortable in uncomfortable positions, as many movements help identify muscle weakness and imbalances. As a result, you to become more resilient to injuries.
Fantastic Cardio Alternative: Many kettlebell exercises are compound movements, meaning they work multiple muscle groups at the same time, leading to an increase in heart-rate.
Even though kettlebells look quite different than a dumbbell, they are essentially the same thing - a heavy piece of metal. However, what really sets them apart is how their weight is distributed. This seemingly minor difference can keep things fresh and fun, and add a whole new challenge to your current exercise routine!
Give them a go and let us know what you think!

Signing off for the weekend!β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Ooooooohhheeeee! (pronounced: ooooooooo-eeee).β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We've all been there before. Chasing after the "perfect" something, and gosh it never ends up like we thought it would.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
What if instead, we focused on CONSISTENCY. Just showing up, even when we aren't at our best or feeling up to it? What if we gave it just 50%, instead of 0%?β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Give it a try. When you find yourself thinking, "I don't have time to cook dinner" or "I have no energy for this workout", simply show up and start. Commit to 5 minutes, and if after 5 minutes you're not into it, give yourself permission to stop.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We bet you'll stick it out!β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
