It has been a crazy busy week with A LOT of activity crammed into a short period of time which has left little time for adequate rest, recovery, and nutrition. CUE a run down immune system and all the crummy feelings that go with it. We have ALL been there! ESPECIALLY during the winter (cold/flu season, changing weather, and now COVID). So, you may be wondering...should I still work out when I am sick (and sweat it out)? Or, should I skip my workout and rest?

A GENERAL rule of thumb is if your symptoms are above the neck--sore throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, it is typically still OK to exercise. But, if your symptoms are below the neck--chest congestion or hacking cough, muscle aches, fever, fatigue, or upset stomach, it is probably a better idea to REST.

If you're not feeling 100% but still want to move your body--simply reduce your effort. Walk instead of jog/run; do 1 set instead of 3; or try a lower impact activity (yoga or pilates).

Whatever you do decide, ALWAYS listen to YOUR body. Taking 2 or 3 days off isn't going to sabotage your fitness. Be sure to increase your fluid intake to maintain adequate hydration, practice good hand hygiene, eat nutritious food, and get enough sleep!

More than 50% of people who start a new exercise program will quit within the first 6 months.

According to numerous scientific studies, social support is one of the most influential factors on health and fitness-related success.

As your coach, I will play several important roles—coach, teammate, and cheerleader while offering support, accountability, motivation, and maybe even a little healthy competition!

It’s never too late to join me and my awesome online fitness community!

American Heart Month is a great time to think about how you can reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease (and other chronic diseases)! This tip sheet offers ideas for simple ways to incorporate heart health into every day of the month. Try a new activity each day and make your favorites part of your regular routine.

Wondering how to incorporate physical activity into your day? Watch this brief video below!

This video shows small changes you can make to move more throughout the day. These include taking the stairs, parking farther away from your destination, and getting up and taking breaks from your computer. You can build up to activity that gets your heart beating faster and eventually aim to move for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes each week. If you are busy, break the activity up into smaller chunks of time—it all adds up. Do activities that are fun, such as jumping rope, taking brisk walks, and dancing.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Physical activity can help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, but only about 22 p...

❤️February is American Heart Month--this month holds a very dear place in my heart for many reasons. My passion for all things cardiovascular and exercise related started young--I was in the 1st grade when my father experienced his first heart attack (at the young age of 37). This was back before stents were used so he had an angioplasty procedure (balloon). I remember visiting my dad in the hospital and not understanding why the nurses were discouraging him from eating the delicious food that my mom brought with us to the hospital. He was on a low cholesterol, low fat, low sodium diet in the hospital--that is why.

Over the next 25 years, my dad has had a few stents placed in various arteries of his heart. Yet, his cardiologists are always impressed at his check ups and attribute much of his post-intervention success to his physically active lifestyle--he walks several miles per day, does resistance training regularly, and has a physically demanding job.

This event (which happened when I was 8 years old) greatly influenced my career path. Parents, YES, your children ARE WATCHING! Let's be a ROLE MODEL and set a POSITIVE example so that they know how to lead a HEALTHY lifestyle. I went on to achieve my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology with an emphasis on exercise in the prevention and management of chronic disease (especially heart disease). After this, I pursued nursing and worked as an open heart recovery nurse for 7 years. Yet, my passion for exercise and the role it plays in chronic disease prevention and management remains strong.

For the month of February, I am running a Challenge Group--

Too many people make their "end goal" to be "fit". Set a goal to be disciplined and consistent and then see what happens. I am willing to bet that "fit" will follow.

This is what I LOVE the most about my virtual fitness community--the ACCOUNTABILITY! Developing personal relationships with my accountability partners and coach has been the BIGGEST game changer in my fitness journey. None of us would be where we are at in life today without mentors being committed to our success as much as they are their own.

Is accountability, discipline, and consistency something that you need to work on? Let me help! I would love to support you and provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to be successful in your health and fitness journey!
