Over the past decade the fitness industry has become a $27 billion dollar industry.  Within that there are many low to moderate priced options as well as higher end products.  This means there is a lot of opportunity to grow as well as waste money on ill-advised products and services.  Going from fringe to mainstream in 20 years makes for a lot of self-validating used car salesman, one can become a fitness expert with almost no training and an instagram account.  The goal of Think Fit. Be Fit. Podcast is to educate our listeners so that they are in control of their health because of smart decisions about their fitness investments.  Let Jenn help you navigate inside an industry full of lies.  

What's the difference between overpaying for personal trainers and taking part of a process of self-mastery that will reveal your best body?  This isn’t a trick question, it’s simply asking better questions about your process and about your body, anatomy, physiology.  We believe in empowering our clients and listeners with education about their body. We can evolve together and you can answer the age-old questions, why does this work? what doesn't work? Be rationale and smart about your fitness and choices in body care!

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• What Jenn is obsessed with as a student of the body
• 5 point strategy for asking better questions of your fitness journey
• The trap of knowing ’stuff’ is detrimental to the process of health improvement 
• You’ve been consuming fast food fitness for too long

The foundations of good health are quality sleeping, eating, and breathing.  We believe that exercise is a lens to visualize and live your most healthy life, however without spending time on education about your sleep you are potentially not going to enjoy being fit.  

The bottom line is clear.  Use our resources to learn more about your sleep!

If you are attempting to lose weight- sleep impacts your hormones

If you are attempting to gain strength- sleep impacts your ability to grow muscle

If you are attempting to exercise 3 days per week and have a full time job- sleep impacts your memory, mood, and attention span.  

Today’s episode Sleep and Recovery are no joke is essentially a warm-up for a deep conversation on the importance of sleep, nutrition and rest.

Your future depends on asking questions about your body. It's the only way to advocate for your health and build an intelligent exercise approach. 

This is the first Q&A episode with Jenn. "What is exercise supposed to feel like"? Unfortunately we've been taught to rely on sensations to teach us about exercise. This simply isn't helpful and most importantly it could be causing a cycle of constant exercise without results, or worse, a cycle of injury and inflammation. 

You have a unique body, therefore your exercise should be unique to you! This Q&A is the first of many, so keep the questions coming. Hit the link below to ask a question!
