POST-WORKOUT SNACKS: WHAT TO EAT AND WHY?
A comprehensive diet is entirely important for your fitness journey, but we will look at one part more specifically. Post-workout meals are an essential piece for your recovery. They provide the body with the necessary fuel it takes to replenish from all the work you’ve just completed.
SMART GOALS: HOW TO BUILD YOUR GOALS FOR YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY
In order to make a plan for a fitness journey, we must know where we are going, for without a result to build towards, we are just wandering. With a final goal in mind, we can logically work backward from the end and establish our beginning. What steps do we take to get there, and how do we outline our path to our goal?
MINI WODS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
This time of year can be very difficult for most of us. We so badly want to enjoy the holidays, and we should. We deserve this time to rest and socialize without worry that all of our progress in the gym won’t disappear. I promise you, it won’t. Here are a few 15-20 minute WODs I like to do first thing in the morning when I am preparing to take a break from the gym and intentionally overeat (gasp).
WARM UP FOR THE WINTER WITH INFRARED SAUNAS
Today is the first day of winter! A storm is approaching. What better way to beat the cold than a session in one of our infrared saunas?!

Being physically active or participating in sports and recreational activities is considered to be “the norm” by many families. Parents that played sports in their youth or adulthood are likely to seek those experiences for their children to create similar formative experiences to what they went through.

WARMUPS - DON’T SKIP THEM!
In recreation and in sports, warmups are often skipped or overlooked for being boring, taking up too much time, or feeling like a waste of time. A good warmup should be brief, fun, and targeted in order to get the best result out of yourself. If you’re not warming up, you could be leaving a lot on the table.
