Sometimes routines can be exhausting. The typical weekday grind can leave us feeling depleted and craving some much needed free time. However sometimes we need more than just rest and relaxation. Show Up Saturday is a challenge to take advantage of your free time to break out of your normal habits and push yourself in a new way. When we change up our routines, focus on something new, and show up for ourselves, we often discover that we're capable of more than we think! This can pay off big when it comes to finding and creating more overall balance in your life. Tune in to learn how! 

Not all movement is about lifting weights or going on a run. Sometimes getting out of the gym and sneaking in exercise doing something you enjoy is a great way to boost your activity levels, learn a new skill, or engage in some friendly competition! This week we're going over some new and different ways of moving your body and how picking up a new hobby can give you a much needed boost of motivation and purpose. 

In the second episode of our “Types of Movement” series, we discuss everyday strength! How strong do we need to be to navigate our everyday lives with ease and without pain? It might seem like pain with aging is normal but in this episode we work to flip this narrative. Weightlifting isn't just for the gym bros...it is actually essential if we want to live long, independent lives that we can navigate easily. Tune in to learn more about how to train for the demands of your everyday life!

In the first episode of our “Types of Movement” series, we dive into...Rucking! We’ve been getting a lot of head turns and confused looks recently when we mention our Rucking adventures, so we wanted to share what Rucking is all about, who it’s good for, and the many health benefits of this simple, but highly effective form of exercise. If you hate cardio, this episode is for you!
