“EAT THE FROG FIRST!”

Ever heard the phrase “Eat the Frog”? 🐸
It means: Do the hard thing first.

That workout you’ve been putting off?
That early morning training session?
That healthy meal prep you keep skipping?
👉 That’s the frog.

When you face it head-on — especially first thing in the day — everything else becomes easier. You build discipline, momentum, and confidence.

At Active Body Training, we’re all about embracing the challenge and doing what needs to be done — even when it’s uncomfortable.

Because growth doesn’t happen when it’s easy.
It happens when you lean into the hard, the sweaty, the uncertain... and do it anyway.

💥 Eat the frog.💪 Own the day.

PROTEIN POWER! 💪

Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass. Here's why:

1. Muscle repair and growth: Protein provides amino acids that help repair and build muscle tissue.
2. Increased satiety: Protein takes longer to digest, keeping you fuller for longer.
3. Boosts metabolism: Protein requires more energy to digest, supporting weight loss.

Get enough protein to fuel your fitness goals! 💪🏻😃💪🏻

What’s your favorite go to protein source?

🍷✨ Saturday’s wine and distillery adventure with Twofiveo tour co. was unforgettable! Our first stop: Zanatta Winery, where we savored tastings on their beautiful patio, surrounded by stunning views and good vibes. Next up, Stillhead Distillery—Brennan treated us like family, mixing up delicious cocktails that hit the spot.

We then headed to Holocene Distillery in Cobble Hill for a behind-the-scenes tour, learning how their unique spirits and liqueurs are crafted. A sunny picnic on their lush lawn was the perfect touch.

Last but not least, Enrico Winery brought the fun with live music, sparkling wine sabering, and refreshing sangria. Laughter, new friends, and amazing memories—what more could you ask for on a weekend tour?
