🤧 Sick of being sick in the fall and winter⁉️
Vitamin D can help. ☀️
🤔 Are you taking enough Vitamin D to be helpful?

The answer most likely is no. Most people are either not taking a Vitamin D supplement or if they are, they are not taking enough for it to be beneficial. 🤯
Sunlight is the best source of Vitamin D; however, most people don’t get the amount needed so supplementing with Vitamin D3 and K2 is crucial for overall health, especially in the winter months. ☃️
We recommend you get your Vitamin D levels tested. 📋
Testing lets us KNOW exactly how much you should be supplementing with instead of just guessing or following what the bottle says so that you can get the MOST benefits! 💪
Strengthen your immune system and enjoy the season to the fullest. 😎

🔥 🔥 🔥
Your DAILY HABITS may be a bigger contributor to your BACK or NECK PAIN than you think. 🤯
Often times exercise or certain activities (i.e. squats, working out, etc) seem to be blamed for the cause of your neck or back pain. 🙄
While you might first notice pain during a bout of exercise or a training session, that doesn't necessarily mean that is what caused or started your pain. ❌
We need to look closer at other activities or habits that we do throughout the day or night. ☑️
More and more people are working on computers or at a desk each day. Sedentary habits, such as sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day or looking up or down at your computer monitor for several hours, are often a LARGE CONTRIBUTOR to your back or neck pain. 📱 💻
The position you sleep in for several hours overnight plays a BIG PART as well. If you are a stomach sleeper and sleep with your head propped to one side can cause more tightness and stress on one side. 😴
Before you stop working out or exercising, pay attention to the things you do daily. ⬇️
Change up your workstation to put you in a better posture, take breaks throughout your day to get up and move, switch up your sleeping position (side sleeping with a pillow between your knees or on your back with a pillow under your knees is going to be best).

🚨 5 WAYS TO DECREASE STRESS ‼️
.
As the school year quickly approaches, it's common to experience heightened stress levels that can impact both mental well-being and physical recovery. Discover effective strategies below to ease stress & promote a sense of calm during this festive time. ⬇️
1️⃣ EXERCISE
🚴‍♂️ It's a great way to decrease stress hormones (i.e. cortisol) in the body. It also increases endorphins which can help improve your mood. Examples: walking, dancing, running, yoga, weightlifting, hiking, & cycling.
.
2️⃣ DEEP BREATHING
🧘‍♀️ Stress activates your sympathetic nervous system, aka the "Fight or Flight" response. Deep breathing or "diaphragmatic" breathing is a great way to reset this stress response. It stimulates the vagus nerve in the diaphragm which is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, aka the "Rest and Digest" response to promote relaxation in the body. The goal is to focus your awareness on breathing through your belly (not your chest) while breathing slower and deeper.
.
3️⃣ GARGLE, HUM, OR SING LOUDLY
🎤 Gargling, humming, or singing loudly is another way to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. The vagus nerve that is responsible for the “Rest and Digest” response also plays a part in these actions as well so activating this nerve can help promote relaxation.
.
4️⃣ TAKE A BATH
🛀 Taking a nice, hot bath is an easy was to reduce stress. Try adding in 2 cups of Epsom salt, 1/2 cup of baking soda, and several drops (8-10) of lavender oil to further promote relaxation. Soak for 20 minutes. Epsom salt contains magnesium, a mineral responsible for relaxation, and lavender oil promotes relaxation which can lower cortisol levels.
.
5️⃣ GET QUALITY SLEEP
😴 Lack of sleep or quality of sleep increases stress hormones in our body. Make sure to get 8 hours a night. If you aren't able to get a full 8 hours, take a nap during the day. (We’re parents, we get it. We know this may not be realistic but try your best -- stop scrolling on social media & put your phone away at LEAST an hour before bed, dim the lights, get in bed earlier than you normally do).
⭐️ Try 1 or more of these & see how you feel!

Cold Weather Warm-Ups: Why You Shouldn’t Skip Them

Don’t let cold weather sideline your goals ❄️
Before you hit your run, lift, or game, take five minutes to warm up your body. It’ll boost your performance and protect you from strains and stiffness.

💪 Think you know core training? Think again! 💪
-
❌ WHAT MOST THINK IS “CORE TRAINING”:
• Sit-ups
• Russian twists
• Side bends
-
✅ WHAT CORE TRAINING REALLY IS (when done right):
• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Bent-over rows
• Split-stance RDLs
-
Any lift performed with proper mechanics builds a rock-solid core from the inside out. 💥
-
➡ There’s a huge difference between abs that “show” and abs that help you move better. Chasing aesthetics isn’t wrong, but without a foundation of stability, you’re building on quicksand—beautiful but unstable.
-
🏗️ Build your core like you’d build a house: strong foundation first. Then add strength and hypertrophy work to sculpt those abs that both perform and pop.
-
Ready to train smarter, not just harder? Drop a 🔥 if you’re committing to a stronger, more stable core!
