🎄 HPC Holiday Schedule Update 🎄

Here’s a quick look at the upcoming Christmas hours and gym closure: Thank you for your flexibility as HPC takes this time to improve the gym space.

I can’t wait to kick off the new year together in an updated HPC space!

This time of year comes with tons of nutrition tips… but one of the most important things gets overlooked: fiber.

And when fiber drops? Hunger spikes, cravings hit harder, digestion slows, and energy crashes.

WHY FIBER MATTERS — AND WHY WE SHOULDN'T FORGET ABOUT IT:

• Keeps you full — steadier hunger, fewer cravings
• Supports digestion — less bloat, happier gut
• Balances blood sugar — smoother energy
• Helps body composition — for too many things to list
• Supports immune + heart health — huge for winter

Here you go — simple, clear lists of go-to fiber-rich options in each category and produce options that are in season for MN right now:

🍎 FRUITS - Raspberries, Pears, Apples (with skin)

🥦 VEGETABLES - Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Green Beans, Carrots

🥔 STARCHY CARBS - Sweet potatoes (skin on), Oats, Quinoa

🥑 HEALTHY FATS - Avocado, Chia seeds, Flaxseeds

Don't forget about your legumes and beans!

Women: shoot for 20-25g a day. Men: shoot for 30-35g a day.

For more coaching around all the foundational concepts that help out a ton, I'm your gal. And for those that want to have the most individualized programming around what YOUR nutrition should look like, I'm your gal for that too.

HPC COMMUNITY… YOU DID THAT.
13, 960,089 steps.

The goal for the Trek Challenge was 200,000 steps — and every single person who submitted their steps not only hit the target… you blew past it.

52 people joined in, laced up, showed up, and put in some incredible work. But the most mind-blowing part?
When we combine all your steps together, this crew essentially walked from Fairbanks, Alaska all the way to Guatemala City… plus another 100 miles.

Just sit with that. That’s what consistent effort looks like. That’s what community built on purpose looks like.

Movement is key.
Movement is doable.
Movement is necessary.

This amazing HPC community showed up for themselves and each other — not only out on the sidewalks and trails, but loudly and proudly online, cheering each other on, sharing wins, posting photos, and bringing the hype every single week. That energy matters. That support matters. And you created it.

As we head into the colder months, our final challenge of the year is here: THE BLITZ.
Participants are asked to complete 12 outdoor sessions. 20 minutes each. Fresh air. Cold air. Real effort. Real payoff.

Do it for yourself.
Do it because you can.
Do it because this winter, we’re not defaulting to the couch, the scroll, or the “maybe tomorrow.”

This is HPC saying: Not this year. Change it. Commit to it. Step into a stronger version of you.

And if you’re not part of this community yet—2026 is your year.
Join us. Show up for yourself. Be part of something incredible.

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from Higher Purpose Coaching! 🦃

Today is about connection, gratitude, and being right where your feet are.

If that includes your classic family traditions? Do them.
If that includes your favorite food? Have it.
If that includes a nap that hits harder than leg day? Absolutely yes.

And when the day winds down, I hope you also feel good — not because you were perfect, but because you honored yourself too. Move a little if it feels good, breathe, hydrate, take a moment of gratitude, and know that caring for YOU is part of today as much as caring for everyone else.

I want to thank you not just as clients, but as people.
You are thoughtful, caring, hardworking individuals.
You take on challenges. You show up for your journey.
You honor the hard work it takes to grow — inside and out.

Happy Thanksgiving, HPC family!
Grateful for every one of you.

HPC December BLITZ Challenge
The Final Tier of the Ruck–Trek–Blitz Series

December 1–31

Winter is here… and so is the BLITZ.
This final tier is all about grit, consistency, and doing the hard things when everyone else is slowing down.

For the month of December, your mission is simple:
Complete 12 outdoor workouts — at least 20 minutes each — before December 31st.
Walk, hike, snowshoe, ski, shovel (yes, it counts), or bundle up and get moving however you choose.
Fresh air. Cold air. Doesn’t matter — the goal is movement with intention.

Join as a group of 3, group of 2, or go solo.
Hit the goal and you'll be entered into the end-of-month prize drawing for some HPC goodies!

Why the BLITZ Matters (Especially in December)

• It boosts your mood and sharpens your mindset.
Cold-weather movement increases serotonin and dopamine — the feel-good chemicals that help beat the winter blues.

• It keeps your energy high.
Short, consistent outdoor sessions improve circulation, boost calorie burn, and prevent that “holiday sluggishness” from sneaking in.

• It strengthens your immune system.
Regular, moderate outdoor activity helps your body fight off seasonal sickness (aka: winter’s favorite party trick).

• It builds discipline and mental toughness.
Showing up in cold, wind, or snow is the definition of “doing what you said you would do.” That’s HPC to the core.

• It gets you off the couch and into your environment.
You experience nature, fresh air, and daylight — all things your brain desperately needs this time of year.

• It reinforces HPC’s mission.
This challenge embodies everything HPC stands for:
Train hard. Fuel right. Live with purpose.
Movement, health, strength, community, and choosing actions that support your mental state, not just your physical fitness.

This December… don’t hide from winter — lean into it.

The BLITZ Challenge is your chance to finish 2025 strong, stay consistent through the chaos, and start the new year feeling proud of what you accomplished.

Let’s get after it. ❄️🔥

Congratulations to all of the participants and top finishers in this week’s step challenge. With so many people joining in, showcasing a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place felt well-deserved—totals were high, the effort was undeniable, and the friendly competition made the week energizing to watch.

Team of 3:
1st - Dream Team -- 315,252 steps
2nd - Sister Act 3 -- 304,162 steps
3rd - Theilen Good -- 276,872 steps

Team of 2:
1st - Battle Buddies -- 241,581 steps
2nd - Lisa T + Billie M -- 233,059 steps
3rd - Daughter Dad Duo -- 215,165 steps

Solos:
1st - Hannah L -- 109,541 steps
2nd - Cori Schulte -- 98,935 steps
3rd - Lisa Bertram -- 95,347 steps

As we head into a new week, the challenge is simple for this crew: aim for 500–1,000 extra steps per day or beat the total you logged this past week. You vs. you. As temperatures drop, staying committed to movement becomes even more important. Getting outside for fresh air, sunlight, and continuous activity can make a significant difference in how your body feels and how your mindset holds steady through the colder seasons.

And one thing is obvious: this community loves to MOVE.

This challenge is about more than steps. It’s about fighting back against the winter blues, staying connected, encouraging one another, and proving that consistency—big or small—adds up.

🌎 From Waite Park to San Salvador-A RUCKING GOOD STORY🥾

Imagine this: you pack a bag (weighted down of course), lace up your boots, and set off on a journey south. The calendar reads October 1st.

Thirty-one days stretch ahead — step by step, mile by mile — until you arrive at your destination on Halloween. It's San Salvador, El Salvador. 2,849 miles away from your starting point.

The Ruck Challenge for October brought in 40 competitors, and every single step taken by the rucking competitors added up to that number. 2,849 miles.
This means each person averaged 70 miles in one month — and yet, the goal in the beginning was simple:
One mile per day.
Just 31 miles total.

Almost everyone far surpassed that.

What does that tell us?
That small goals matter.
That attainable goals build consistency.
And that consistency, once in motion, creates unstoppable momentum.

But the real story isn’t just about the miles.
It’s about the community that carried each other forward — the like-minded people who showed up, cheered, competed, and brought their families along.

It’s proof that when you create the environment, you earn the reward.
Start small.
Stay steady.
And watch how far you can go — sometimes all the way to El Salvador.

👟 November 200k Trek Challenge 👟

Who’s ready to move with us this November? 🙌

The goal: 200,000 steps for the whole month—that’s about 6,700 steps a day. Totally doable, and every extra step you take just adds to the fun (and the leaderboard 😉).

✨ How it works:

**$50 buy-in.
**Join as a team of 3, team of 2, or go solo.
**Steps count whether you’re on the treadmill or outside.
**Teams compete against teams, solos against solos.

The best part? You’ll be part of an encouraging community that cheers you on, keeps you accountable, and adds in some friendly competition. Even if it’s just you vs. you, you’ll be amazed at what a little consistency can add up to.

By the end of the month, you’ll not only hit your goal—you might even go further than you thought possible. 💪

Let’s walk, step, and trek our way through November together. Ready to join in? Drop a comment or message me today!
