Do we always practice what we preach as health coaches?

We are the ones coaching people on how to live healthy lifestyles, but we aren't perfect.

It's a word you've heard, for sure, but maybe you think, "Not me. Not yet," or "What is that anyway?" If your in your 40's, you are probably in the midst of perimenopause, so why not explore and celebrate it? May seem odd to say, so why not start your exploration right here . . . Listen.

We don't talk much about it. There's not much information on it, but perimenopause is something to talk about! When does it start? What are the symptoms? How long does it last? Why am I so moody? Aren't I too young for this? The questions go on and on. Let's discuss it.

Whether or not you believe in making resolutions, the idea behind it is usually always to improve ourselves, and that's not such a bad thing. But why wait until January 1st or the first day of Spring, or your birthday? Why not just make realistic, attainable goals right now. Today. Go ahead, do it. Now.

It's a new year, or perhaps it's not. But we all make resolutions. Why? How can we keep to our "resolutions"?

As we discussed last podcast "It's Your Move," movement is of utter importance to our health. But, it's not quite that simple. In our modern times, we are moving in ways our bodies weren't designed for and the end result is pain and often injury. This podcast, we interview Chris Verdi, owner and founder of a fitness studio in Allenhurst, New Jersey. He has a very different take on exercise and his work has helped hundreds of people be free of pain and injuries. Listen to learn more about his philosophy and practice.

Core Restore Training System™ (CRTS is the acronym) was developed by Christopher Verdi from his own experience of constantly getting hurt during or after exercise. He has blended his educational backgrounds in MAT and Certified Personal Training to develop this one of a kind training system. This method adds the crucial missing step between therapeutic modalities and starting an exercise/fitness program; Movement! It is imperative that people are taught how their body works mechanically and taught how to engage their muscles in order to initiate movement.

We were born to move--there is no doubt. And those of us who do are ultimately healthier and live better quality lives. It's simple and can be the difference between happiness and comfort or grumpiness and discomfort. Listen to how we approach how we want you to move.

It's our third pillar of health. We are built to move. Most of us don't do it enough. So, how can we fufill our body's needs and enjoy it at the same time?
