As a healthcare worker and citizen, I believe that healthcare is a human right. Access to healthcare would help to better manage health concerns, reduce healthcare costs, and improve quality of life.

The article below gives me great encouragement. But, even news that makes me feel good deserves to be fact checked. Yes, the magazine has a left bias. However, they are known for high quality fact based reporting.

Previous estimates suggested that Medicare for All would save $2 trillion. But it's even better: a new study finds that Bernie Sanders's bill would save $5.1 trillion — while providing universal, comprehensive coverage.

What's it like to work with Rebekah, our exercise physiologist?

Check it out!

I have a gym membership again! I'm thrilled to be back in the weight room applying what I learned last semester in Movement Science 1. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My friend wants to work on upper body strength and power. So what does that mean? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That means that you want to do lower repetitions at a higher weight. Plus, you need to take a break between sets - at least 30 seconds to 2 minutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ne of the best ways to make sure that you are getting enough rest between sets is to alternate with a workout buddy. So, when you hire me as an exercise coach, you get a workout buddy with a BUNCH of knowledge and experience. I'm incredibly over-educated for your average Exercise Physiologist since I have already completed 114/122 credit hours required for my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Now, I've restarting my DPT at a different University, so I'm getting a good refresher!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best thing about working with me (in my opinion - and my clients agree) is that I will never ask you to do something that I'm not willing to complete.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since we plan on doing an obstacle course race in 11/2021, it means that I need to work on my cardiovascular endurance. As a gal who prefers HIIT or nothing, the idea of a 5K is only more tolerable than the 10K course we were looking at. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, after making him 'suffer' at the weight rack, we finish with cardio where he gets to see me 'suffer.' Since he's a runner, this is more of his forte. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I'm your exercise coach, EVERYONE is miserable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just kidding. We work together to figure out what's best for your exercise goals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Worried about pricing? Let's talk about it! I offer a variety of packages, and I guarantee we can make something work within your budget. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have any questions about what it's like to work with me? Shoot me a DM!

One of the best explanations that I've seen of racism.

Racism is a healthcare issue - we must do better.

Foam rolling isn't going to fix all problems, but it's a good recovery tool!
