How Strong Are You Really? 💪 


We had a training session at the gym the other day with a client who’s been with us a few years, another who’s been with us a few months and another who was doing her very first workout with us.


At the end of the workout, the woman who’s been with us a few months said to the newbie, “Once you start, you’re not going to want to stop.”


The one who’s been with us for years said, “It feels so good to be strong.”


Mind you, this is coming from a woman who’s lost more than 40 pounds. Yet the outcome that’s on the tip of her tongue is ‘how strong she’s become’.


Truth of the matter is, ‘weak things (aka people) break’, … And none of us want to feel broken.

   

You simply can't go wrong with STRONG.


First, strength proves itself to be the most important physical characteristic due to its positive connection to almost every OTHER characteristic.


Simply put, the stronger you are, the more potential you have to develop other areas of physicality like muscle growth, fat loss, endurance, mobility and overall quality of life. :-)


And actually, the more strength training you do, the more chance you have of getting lean. Yep


Now that we know that getting stronger is kind of a big deal, let’s address the question, "How strong should you be?"


Strength can be viewed in absolutes (a.k.a. how much weight can you lift) or in relative terms (how much weight can you lift for your bodyweight and age). The latter is more applicable for people like you and me.


You obviously don't need to be a powerlifter, but you can get really strong for your body and your life.


I believe that everyone should strive to get as close to an Optimal level of strength as possible.


➡️Having this level of muscle strength is beneficial for numerous reasons:

• So that you can pull yourself up from a cliff if you happen to be hanging off a ledge somewhere while on vacation.

• So that you can pick up your kids and play with them without straining a muscle or for many, just keeping up with them! (wink)

• So that you can move your furniture without breaking your back

• So that you can pick up and carry someone who is in danger, to safety

• So that you carry lean muscle mass on your frame and decrease your risk of preventable illnesses. (ring a bell?)


At the end of the day, don’t get caught up in comparing yourself to other people. And more important, enjoy the journey.


After all, the best part about being strong, as we learned at the beginning of this email?


It feels great :)

Creatine (sometimes referred to as creatine monohydrate) has been called a “phenomenon” in the bodybuilding community and is among the best-selling supplements to gain muscle. To date, thousands of research studies have evaluated the effects of its supplementation on muscle growth, metabolism, exercise capacity and many other markers of health. According to researchers at the Exercise and Sport Nutrition Laboratory at Baylor University, “About 70 percent of these studies report statistically significant results, while remaining studies generally report non-significant gains in performance.” So which is it? What are the benefits of taking creatine monohydrate (if any) according to the medical literature? People who take creatine supplements usually do so because it has been shown in studies to offer help with physical performance, body composition, energy output and even cognitive enhancement.

🚨 [SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS] BMI rate in kids is skyrocketing right now and here's why. According to a new CDC report, kids’ BMI has been increasing at nearly DOUBLE the rate than it did before the pandemic began. BMI (body mass index) is a measure of weight to height that’s an “easy screening method for weight category: underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity.” Alarmingly, the increase was especially high in preschool and school-aged children. This is DEFINITELY something we all need to be paying attention to. There were 432,302 kids aged 2 to 19 years old in the study. They found the rate of BMI increase jumped from 0.052 (pre-pandemic) to 0.100 kg/m 2 /month during the pandemic. In more understandable terms, in August 2019, the obesity rate in the group was 19.3% (already high) … and it reached 22.4% in August 2020 and close to 25% in August 2021. We already knew that kids were gaining weight during the pandemic because of all of the changes in their daily habits …But this study shows how significant this negative impact was in just A FEW SHORT YEARS. Here’s another key finding: The CDC found that children who were already obese gained about 1 to 1.2 pounds a month, putting them on track to gain 6.1 to 7.3 pounds in 6 months. This group is gaining weight at a faster rate compared to the 2.7 pounds in those with a healthy weight. Straight from the study: “Accelerated weight gain, especially among children, can cause long-lasting metabolic changes that put children at risk for serious and costly co-occurring conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and depression.” The US already has a high level of obesity among kids, affecting more than one in six children. This is serious stuff, folks! We need to be paying attention and making sure our kids are staying ACTIVE and putting HEALTHY FOOD into their bodies. The good news is that this is ALL stuff we have control over. More good news is that if you’ve noticed this happening in your family, we’ve got a solution to help! 🤸‍♀️🏃‍♀️Let your kids explore new and exciting activities and challenges with our trained PRO's Now! Whether your child is a veteran with us or coming for the very first time, we know they will be enriched with new fitness experiences that will inspire them to live an active healthy lifestyle. We launched our first HIT FIT KIDS CAMP in 2021 to help offset the findings in the study above and the outcome was beyond what we expected!

A strong immune system is important, especially in today’s climate. During seasons when we are more prone to illness, we often look for ways to help support immunity.

Here’s what I’m talking about … One of my top personal basics – something I try to do every day – NON-NEGOTIABLE for my fitness is at least 15 minutes bodyweight strength training, 15 minutes flexibility/mobility, and 15 minutes hitting on my weak points to balance out any muscular deviations. Its all about making a plan, and working my plan.”
