Happy Mother's Day!!

"All parts of the body, if used in moderation and exercised in labors to which each is accustomed, become thereby healthy and well developed and age slowly; but if they are unused and left idle, they become liable to disease, defective in growth and age quickly" ~Hippocrates

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mamas out there! I hope that each and every one of you are having a great weekend and that you've been able to take care of yourselves along with taking care of your health plan for this upcoming week. If you haven't done that yet, now is the perfect time!

Schedule in your movement and your menu. You don't have to go crazy. Move 5 days this week for at least 30 min. Walk, bike, HIIT it, stretch, do some PiYo, hike, swim, run, etc! Move, eat well, drink water, and get some good sleep.

SoulShiners, studies suggest that exercise reduces the risk of these 35 harmful conditions and life-threatening diseases listed below...

1. low cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 max) 2. coronary heart disease 3. endothelial dysfunction 4. peripheral artery disease 5. hypertension 6. stroke 7. congestive heart failure 8. osteoporosis 9. osteoarthritis 10. rheumatoid arthritis 11. depression 12. anxiety 13. cognitive dysfuction 14. nonalcoholic fatty liver disease 15. diverticulitis 16. constipation 17. gallbladder disease 18. accelerated biological aging/premature death 19. type 2 diabetes and prediabetes 20. metabolic syndrome 21. obesity 22. colon cancer 23. breast cancer 24. endometrial cancer 25. sarcopenia 26. balance problems 27. bone fractures and falls 28. dyslipidemia 29. preeclampsia 30. gestational diabetes 31. polycystic ovary syndrome 32. erectile dysfunction 33. hemostasis 34. deep vein thrombosis 35. pain

You should be as proud of yourselves as I am of you for making it a priority to exercise your strong body. Just think of it as a super important type of insurance. Pay in now and then reap the benefits later. You are worth every single glorious drop of sweat!

Here's our schedule for this week:

Monday - HIIT at The Rec - 8:15-9:15 am

Tuesday - PiYo at The Rec - 8:15-9:15 am

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all that you give to our SoulShine Team, for being my friends, and for playing with me each week. I appreciate all of you so much!
