** Personal Trainer Tip for December **
Want to avoid December weight gain without dieting?

Do: 10 minutes of strength exercises a day.
And pick 2–3 moves (squats, wall push-ups, chair sits, or dumbbell curls) and do them slowly and with control.

Why it works:
• Strength training boosts metabolism
• It protects muscle (especially during busy seasons)
• It helps your body handle holiday treats better

No meal plans. No guilt. No “starting over” in January.
Just stay strong, stay consistent, and enjoy the season.

Strength training is the best gift you can give yourself.
It builds confidence, protects your bones, boosts your mood, and helps you stay strong for the people you love. No fancy wrapping needed - just the decision to start.

Winter is beautiful… but icy sidewalks? Not so much.... As a personal trainer, here are a few simple ways to start now and stay steady on your feet:

• Strengthen your legs - try squats or mini lunges.
• Improve balance - practice standing on one leg while brushing your teeth or doing dishes.
• Walk smarter - take shorter steps, keep your hands out of your pockets, and wear shoes with good traction.

A little training now can prevent a big fall later.

Don’t let one holiday undo a month of progress!
As we head into Thanksgiving, here are a few simple tips to help you stay on track:

✔ Eat a balanced breakfast so you’re not starving by dinner.
✔ Get in a little movement in the morning - just 10 minutes helps.
✔ Have a high-protein snack before the big turkey meal to avoid overeating.
✔ Stay hydrated throughout the day because thirst can feel like hunger.
✔ Choose your favorites, not everything on the table.

TRICK OR TREAT FOR YOUR MUSCLES?!

This Halloween, don’t just hand out treats! Here are a few fun “trick-or-treat” moves to keep your body going!
🍬 THE TREAT — Squats
Simple, and always satisfying. Squats give you strength you can feel right away in your glutes, quads, and core.

🍭 THE TRICK — Burpees
Looks innocent… then BAM! Full body, heart-pounding, sweat-energy. Consider this the jump scare of fitness. 😅

🍫 THE TREAT — Bicep Curls
Feels good. Looks good. Your arms will thank you for later.

🕷️ THE TRICK — Plank Hold
Just when you think it’s almost over BOO! Another 10 seconds. Your core will be shaking like it saw a ghost.

Fit Tip of the Day:
Mix both tricks AND treats in your workouts. The “tricks” challenge your endurance and grit, while the “treats” build strength and confidence. Balance = results.

Why October Is the Perfect Month to Take It Outside!
Crisp air, colorful trees, and.... fewer bugs!
October was made for movement! Hiking, long walks, or even outdoor strength training are great this time of year. The cooler temps help you push harder without overheating. Grab your walking sticks, resistance bands, or just your body weight and get outdoors!

As a trainer, I still enjoy all the fun fall flavors just with a little balance! Instead of diving into the candy bowl, I reach for apple slices with cinnamon, roasted pumpkin seeds, or a pumpkin-spice protein coffee.
What are your favorites this time of year?

Fall is on the way which means cooler temps, cozy blankets, and maybe a good book. But don’t let this next season slow you down! The heat of summer is behind us, making this the perfect time to get outside and start walking.
Movement keeps your energy up, your mood lifted, and your body strong even when all you want to do is curl up inside. As your trainer, my advice is simple: grab a jacket in the next few months and lace up your walking shoes.

Tip of the Day:
Your core isn’t just about stomach muscles, it’s your body’s support system.
A simple daily habit to help keep your core strong: sit tall, draw your belly button slightly toward your spine, and hold for 10–15 seconds while breathing. Do this a few times a day while you stand in line at the store, sit at your desk, or watch TV. Small steps like this keep your core active and your posture upright.
