Forging Optimal Health & Wellness















Saturday, May 2, 2015

I teach this class a couple times a week called BodyForge.  It’s always really “fun” and I am amazed each class by all the people who show up and bust their a#*’s!  I’ve watched attendance grow and the strength of everyone improve and I can say without a doubt that those hours are some of my favorite every week.

Along with teaching fitness classes, I am a personal trainer and wellness coach and am truly honored to touch so many people working on their health every day! At the end of every class I offer a few suggestions to make the most out of all the hard work.

  1. Drink lots of water:  I’m a huge advocate of drinking water.  Check this link for a few reasons and recommendations on water intake.
  2. Eat a snack:  choose a complex carbohydrate and protein within 30 minutes of completing a workout.  This a a great way to maintain an elevated metabolic rate and keep your body’s momentum going throughout the day.  A scoop of good quality protein powder and a piece of fruit is easy.
  3. Eat approximately every 3 hours throughout the day; proteins included with every “meal”:  eating in conjunction with your digestive cycle will also help to keep your metabolism up and your energy level even.  
  4. Eat breakfast...EVERY MORNING:  breakfast kick-starts your metabolism after the overnight rest and recharge.  Read more here.
  5. HAVE FUN!

I am full of other pieces of wellness advice :-) !  If you have questions, goals you would like to work toward regarding health and wellness or know someone who is curious...I would love to chat!  

Thanks to everyone for all your support, amazing attitudes and enthusiasm!  Enjoy the weekend!
