Rooted
There are so many wonderful metaphors to be made with trees, and I am sure you’ve already heard quite a few. The first metaphor to trees I heard came when I was riding a horse. (Seems accurate enough…) My trainer told me that my core was the trunk of the tree and my arms were […]
In the Holiday Spirit
We know it’s been hard to keep track of what day it is…Can you believe it’s already the holiday season? (My apologies if panic ensued…) More like the season for holiday workouts! This past Monday, we held our annual Memorial Day workout at 9AM with over 40 people in attendance. Some were near and others […]
From 0 to 60
A Porsche goes from 0 mph to 60 mph rather quickly, whereas a Station Wagon goes from 0 mph to 60 mph rather slow… While everyone may love a good Porsche, your body needs you to have a Station Wagon mindset when it comes to starting or returning to high-intensity exercise (i.e. 60 mph) when […]
Water You Drinking?
You might be familiar with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation for how much water to drink daily, which is at least two liters. You might also be familiar with how vital water is to the human body, especially as it works to fight off…well viruses. Writing about water is exciting, because our circulatory system […]
Focusing on Fitness
Feeling a little distracted these days? You’re not the only one! There is a lot going on around us: Increased time with some family and less time with others Uncertainties at your workplace Concerns with personal and global health Lack of or change in routine When we find ourselves distracted, what we think about next […]
Are you having fun, yet?
“Are you having fun, yet?” My Dad would always (and still does) ask the cashier. The neighbor. The handyman. My old teachers. My friends. Me. I ask this question to you, the same way my Dad asks it, with all the gentleness in the world and not an ounce of sarcasm. Are you having fun, […]
Working Within
Let me begin by saying that it is challenging to not write a blog post that doesn’t pertain to this current time! We have all had unique experiences with COVID-19, and I certainly cannot begin to speak to yours. However, I am an expert (I like to think) on my current situation, so I’d like […]
UA at Home!
Exercise is a big component to Urban Athlete’s wellness lifestyle program. While most clients might only do resistance workouts 3-5 times a week, we encourage daily movement even on the “off days”. Incorporating activities like walking, mobility and original strength resets are all part of the process of being active. We’ve always offered bodyweight workouts […]
Determining Your Priorities
I believe every single one of us wants to feel empowered. Empowered to make decisions. Belief in oneself. Desire to make the best decisions we can make. Few of us (especially those reading this) start each day with the mindset of purposefully wanting to have bad, unproductive days by intentional design. Even if I wasn’t […]
“Self-Hugging: A How-To”
I’ve known Izzy for a number of years. Initially we were peers in the fitness industry but since then have become great friends. Though we live in different cities we get to see each other quite frequently, mostly over Zoom (even before social distancing) but also in person several times a year at peer group […]
