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 […]
When in Doubt, Schedule it Out!
We thought we’d get a new phrase trending this week – personal scheduling. This week, one of our coaches shared a NY Times opinion article with our team, “I Spent a Year in Space, and I Have Tips on Isolation to Share,” by Sean Kelly. He used this article to share the necessity of two […]
Movement is Bliss
There was something about our Bodyweight Bliss workouts this week that made me feel like I was preparing for battle. Maybe this is an exaggeration, maybe it’s not. But as my heart rate increased and I began to sweat doing Lateral Bounding (in the 4 feet of empty space in my bedroom…), I couldn’t help […]
Workout Variety = Heightened Motivation
“After being a part of Urban Athlete, I am more motivated and more fit! The ever changing variety of workouts keeps me interested and challenged.” ~Sally P. Several weeks ago, we had a client show us an article from The New York Times, “How ‘Muscle Confusion’ Might Help Your Workouts.” The article was a summary […]
What’s In(Your)Body?
Whether it’s been at a doctor’s office or in the comfort of our homes, we have all stepped on a scale at one point in time! Within seconds, a number pops up that tells us how much we weigh. But what if we had something where not only a number popped up, but also a […]
Inhale Down, Exhale Up
How many times have you heard a coach at Urban Athlete say, “Inhale down, exhale up”? Probably too many times to count… But, why do they say it? We all know that breathing is important! Our lungs play a critical role in our circulatory system. They release carbon dioxide, or waste from our muscles, into […]
Restorative UA – Low Impact
Ever walk into a gym and think, “Whoa, what’s going on in here?” You keep thinking, “How am I supposed to do all of this, when my back hurt just getting out of bed this morning…” You’re a little stressed from the morning you’ve had and now you’re at the gym where it’s supposed to […]
