You have gotten off of the couch and you have begun to get active, now what?! If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, getting active is the first step pun intended, however, staying active is a whole other ball game! It is not always easy to keep it going once you have started. Especially if for some reason you have missed a day or have gotten off your routine. It is much more challenging to start back up once you have stopped. The great news is, although it may be challenging it is doable! On today is show, we will talk with Jared as he shares how he keeps himself moving and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon!

As a trainer we have heard it time and time again. The one area that everyone seems to want to change the most is their midsection, also known as the CORE!

As trainers, when we talk about the core it is oh so much more! In today is show we will share with our listeners why it is important to focus on and strengthen the ENTIRE core and not just focus on the abs.

Fitness comes in many more ways than just going to the gym and knocking out reps on machine after machine. In this show, we will share various ways in which we can all add a little fitness time to family time!

It is not uncommon to go into any gym and see individuals getting it in on the machines, or at the free weights station or maybe even in one of the many classes that gym is currently offering. This is great! Really great! People working out and taking charge of their health and fitness is a wonderful thing! However, it’s also not uncommon for individuals to get “bored” with their same day after day, week after week, month after month gym routine. On this show, we are taking our workouts outside! We will share various ways you can get a great workout in by going out(side).

We know this is a health and wellness show, but we have the biggest and best investment advice. If you are willing to make the investment now, it will pay you so much more later. However, if you don’t, it could cost you so much more later. How much more, your life! This investment is in yourself! Many budget and spend money on things that are temporary and have no true value, but make a conscious decision to put self-care (as it pertains to fitness) into your budget now. Earl Nightingale said in The Strangest Secret, “The things that are given to us for nothing, we place little value on. Things that we pay money for we value. The paradox is that exactly the reverse is true.” In today's show, we will discuss how the cost of fitness is well in reach of your budget.

In today’s world, kids are not as active as we were when we were children.

If you have kids or know someone that has kids, you are going to want to tune in to this show.
