Holidays got you stressed??

    Shopping, wrapping, baking, cooking, parties and overnight guests!?!?  Don't forget during this holiday season to practice a little self-care. Could be as simple as this cozy cup of hot cocoa to the right, a short walk, quiet time or you could try a little meditation or one of my quick Bitecise workouts, a new video attached below.  Sometimes the best gift we can get is a little time to ourselves.  This is not a selfish gesture, when you take care of your physical, emotional and mental self it allows you to be the best partner, parent, friend, child, etc. Keep in mind if you do not take of yourself you cannot take care of others.  This is especially important for the caregivers of the world and we need to be supportive.  If you are a caregiver reach out to others for support. If you know a caregiver reach out to them and rather than ask what can I do, show up with a plan, offer to cover a few hours for them, take them out to lunch or just sit to have coffee and talk or just take a walk.  Try to leave them feeling a little lighter emotionally, mentally maybe even physically.

    I hope you find time during this season to look as happy and rested as the little snowman above.

10+ minute 'Bitecise' workout

Happy Holidays,

  Resolution tips &            Bitecise workout     Whether it is the New Year or you have just reached a point in your life you are resolving to 'improving' something.  We make resolutions to improve ourselves, our lifestyle or financial status, regardless of your 'why' here are a few tips.  1. Create attainable goals, example: start exercising. Suggestion: be more specific and achievable.  Start exercising 10 minutes a day, 3x per week and grow from there. 2. Approach your goal as adding something positive rather than eliminating, example: eat healthier.      Suggestion: Include a vegetable in one meal a day, 3-4 meals a week.     Once these realistic goals are achieved re-evaluate and create your new attainable goal.  PLEASE prevent from creating a list of goals or to do's, approach one at a time, once you have reached your goal and it is sustainable then move on.  This is not pas...

      I don't wanna...     Here you can add whatever it is you just don't have the desire to do, whether it is a run, gym workout, etc.  We all have those days when you just don't have the desire and please remember rest is also good and important for the body.  Sometimes all we need is a little movement to get that adrenaline moving to get us started.  There may also be days where after that little bit of movement you decide nope not today and that is okay.          These bite-cise workouts are great options to kick start your motivation or to give you a short burst of movement to expend some calories and boost your energy levels and maybe your spirit.     This workout as always can be done with or without weights it does have a short warm up and some brief stretching.  Listen and watch for modifications to meet you where you are in your journey.  I have included the exercises below if you would like ...
