Patience is Key
Like anything we talk about at UA – we always talk about lifestyle patterns as they relate to the whole person. By whole person, I mean physically, mentally, and emotionally. Today, I am going to talk about patience, and I hope to discuss it holistically as I just mentioned. First, let me ask: Do you […]
An Ode to Planks
How many plank exercises can you name in 30 seconds? Star, Front, Forearm, Side, Tripod, Plank Reaches, Plank Jacks, Single-Leg, Elevated. That was my list! What’s yours?

What Modifying a Workout Really Means
You and I both have things that we just really love to do. You and I also have things that we know are good for us to do, but they may not be what we necessarily love to do. Everyone exercises for different reasons. For some of us, it may be because we love it. For others of […]

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, […]
