Staying hydrated is a big deal, all year 'round. And if you're an older adult, your sense of thirst may have decreased but your need for hydration hasn't. A water bottle like this with hour marks on it may help you remember to drink up!

NEW: I'm adding a second LiftStrong Powerlifting group for women! This small lifting group focuses on barbell squat, bench press, and deadlift. Workouts also include functional fitness and conditioning, similar to what we do in our Strongevity groups. I'm currently looking at two time options. If this sounds like something you're interested in, let's chat ASAP!

I hope you and yours had a nice holiday; we are back to regular schedule tomorrow (Wednesday). Next week we are off Monday only (Jan. 1) then back to usual!

As we head toward 2024, many of us will be setting fitness goals for the new year.

Some of us may set goals about losing weight or building muscle, or to lift heavier weights, or run a faster mile.

Or maybe your biggest training goal is to improve mobility for daily activities. Or to do ALL the things on an upcoming epic vacation. Or to be a fun, active grandparent!

Whatever your goals, make sure they’re for YOU and not because some magazine, social media post, or well-meaning relative said you should.

Ho-ho-holiday reminder:
I will be closed next Monday & Tuesday (Christmas and the day after), then closed on New Years Day. Make sure you sign up for your preferred Strongevity class times ASAP for the next few weeks!

This week we have our full regular schedule. Tomorrow is booked to capacity but I have a few openings in Tuesday morning Strongevity group!

Sip, smile, & Shine Strong! ✨💪

I still have 3 openings in Friday morning Strongevity this week.
And don't forget our PARTY is tomorrow (Thursday) at 4PM.

✨SURVEY!✨
Monday groups continue to be most likely to fill to capacity. How many of y’all would be interested in a 10AM option on Mondays?

I'm still out of town but looking forward to seeing y'all soon. Until then, here's a reminder about our upcoming first annual Fit n' Festive Party!

Enjoy a festive evening with your fit friends while NOT sweaty for a change! We'll have a "Dirty Santa" gift exchange and a whole lot of fun. Please bring an appetizer/snack/etc to share.
